It’s time to start scheduling for autumn semester. Don’t make the same mistake these students made! Here are the worst instructor reviews from Rate My Professor:
Catherine Steinbeck: She gives no extra credit and, unlike every other teacher ever, she drops your highest exam score! She justifies this by saying, “sometimes the world kills your favorite cat and never gives you a reason.” My friend is taking the class next semester and is determined to find the cat-wrangler, but don’t expect extra credit.
Jean McCarthy: Have you seen your grandmother use a mouse for the first time? Dr. McCarthy is completely illiterate when it comes to technology. It physically pained me to watch her struggle to complete basic functions, like scrolling and capitalizing a letter. It’s what you spend most of class time working on. There are great opportunities for brownie points if you’re willing to come to the front and show her how to turn on the computer, because apparently, “the buttons are in a new place every week.”
Walt Greenwood: He’s a nice guy in person, but his lecture videos are awful. He constantly breathes really, really heavily into the microphone because there is a loud thundering noise behind him. Its like he’s gasping for life during the world’s longest earthquake. The cameraman is also bad. Her shot is shaky and her gossip behind the lens is more information than I care to hear. Expect five miserable hours of videos a week.
Lorraine McIntire: She is a great teacher and genuinely cares about your performance. But I can never hear her in lecture. She never turns her microphone on loud enough! In person, she sounds like a tiny mouse crying for help through a tiny mouse-hole in the wall because her little toe is caught in a mousetrap. It’s very hard to hear her. But as far as I can tell, she has only said nice things about me.
James Sinclair: He didn’t spend a week discussing the syllabus. Instead, we dove right into the material. He told us to read it online. When I realized he would not spend time on the syllabus in class, I stopped going. I took this for an easy A and got an E.
Liam Melbourne: Liam is a really great teacher. I took his music GE course about The Aussie Beatles, a Beatles cover band from down under that sings all the lost songs Lennon/McCartney wrote about kangaroos. But he has the most incomprehensible Australian accent. It’s not remotely cute. It’s like Hugh Jackman with no teeth. And he smells like a dingo. I would only take his class if you KNOW you like The Aussie Beatles.
