I hope he just continues like that everyday for the rest of his career, even once he gains confidence to know what he's doing.
Like every class his students have to talk him off a ledge, and then when he nears retirement after 50 years he's just known as "that crazy professor" every campus seems to have.

I heard that blame can be laid on journalists as well. The Guardian is the only left leaning source I can think of that doesn't have paywalls. While the right leaning sources at worse have loads of slop ads.
Yes, it's sad, especially since the Guardian is a UK news outlet.

I had an organic chemistry class in college where the average grade was a C. I was a chemistry major and I passed with a D. A couple of other would-be chemistry majors dropped the class. The professor actually told us that we were the worst group of students he had ever taught (and it was his last class before retirement).
I don't think he was a bad teacher, because I certainly was a bad student.
Also he talked about the need to cut down on burning fossil fuels, but less due to environmental concerns and more due to the lost opportunity to make plastics and other interesting substances out of them.
Fuck organic chemistry in particular. That is the only class I've ever taken where it felt like I was arguing my grade before a judge who had already decided I was guilty. Like even if you're right, you're still wrong. You know it and the judge knows it, but what are you going to do about it? It's his courtroom.

Yes, this pattern is also prevalent in Europe. That is precisely why the US should serve as a cautionary example. We still have a reasonably functioning media landscape, but that can change quickly here too.

He teaches math but does "convince me through appeals to emotion" type of proofs

I rolled the worst possible teacher for most of my classes in IT school. I think 3/4 of the class failed the networking 1 course.

My organic chemistry prof was equally weird about synthesis. But his ego rested on everyone passing, in contrast to the biology prof who failed half the students in her classes. She was the better teacher. I don't remember much from my second semester of o chem because I didn't really need to learn anything to get an A, but I have retained quite a lot from her classes
Maybe it’s just chemistry professors. I had one try to expel me for plagiarism because my lab partner and I had the same measurements on our lab reports (no overlap other than the numbers, which weren’t open to a lot of interpretation). You know, because we had the same experiment.
Luckily, part of the process was sitting down with the professor and the head of the department, and as soon as the professor explained what the problem was, the dean rolled his eyes, asked why my professor didn’t even report both of us, and told me someone else in the department would grade my exam, then let me leave.

Most teachers I had growing up could have been completely absent and I would have gotten the same education, as all they did was recite from the same book/curriculum we had on paper and could read. I only really remember 2 that actually taught. My high school algebra teacher, and my 6th grade drama/choir teacher.

*yeah, not yea or nay. It isn't a vote. You are not only bad at teaching, but bad at writing strips. Buy a dictionary since you lack an education.

Prof said this in an econ class that like, 25% of students drop after the first exam. Had me sweating balls and was extremely stressed about it.
Turns out my heavily Republican college classmates were just especially stupid when it comes to econ. He was one of the best professors I ever took.
The professors whose classes everyone passes are the ones you learn nothing in.

My high school algebra teacher was so bad that she'd start teaching you one thing, get to the end of a problem, and realize she taught it wrong and start over a different way. I got a D in that class. Got an A in algebra 2 with zero increase in effort on my part.

Competing for grades is so dumb, really glad to have school far behind me

Are you good at testing though?

Yes, often the course is just hard or the students are lazy, but not always. I've had several teachers who were strangely proud of the low succes rates.

Or they're bad at teaching, I've had both experiences.

Seeing the teachers clothes I thought they will fail all the Kobayashi Maru test.

If it's a low level class, a 100 or 200, it's probably student ineptitude. If it's a high level course, I would expect a lot more people to pass. I work in a law school and if we see a lot of students failing one professor, it's generally a sign that professor has a chip on their shoulder.

(everyone in networking skip this comment)
Networking is, with the possible exception of cybersecurity, the most narcissistic, self-important, smug bunch of mystic assholes to exist in the IT world. None of the rest of us can stand them, but we play along because we don't have a choice. So you got a perfect education into working with them.

Sadly, the Simone Veil (the comic author) kind of handled her so-successful-it-failed Kick-starter this way. Pictures for Sad Children
It's a somber lesson that mental health is no laughing matter, but also that anyone who needs a laugh about it could do much worse than enjoying Pictures for Sad Children.
