Okay so I decided to take a few classes this semester. However when I got to speak to an advisor they informed me I had to update a few credits to continue working on my Masters degree.
So I figue no big deal I will take 9-10 credits 6 of which are blow offs just to make my transcript current.
Boy was I wrong, I have two Nazi professors who have serious god complexes. One professor insists on us following a strict guidline for reading. Not that you do it but rather how you should do it. The professor wants us to read pages 3-6 then read page 37, then read page 5 again. It like reading those books I had as a kid where you picked how the story would end up by chosing an option. Needless to say we have had 3 quizes 3 chapters of reading along with 4 other assignments all in the first week. Mind you it is not a graduate level class it is a undergraduate basic 3 cr class.
My graduate level class is my easiest.
So feel free to share your bad professor/ teacher stories if you want to maybe it will make me feel better.
Cliffy gave me a website to use to check out professors ahead of time to avoid this in the future.

what are you in school for? MBA?
I had a professor who would always show up for class at least 10 minutes late. Then he would come storming in, starting his lecture at the door frame. After the class was over, he would call all of those he caught talking in class the second he walked through the door up to the front of the room and yell at them. He was one of those assholes who completely knew the subject in and out, and really had no interest in actually teaching students anything. He'd talk 100 mph and never pause for anyone to take notes. And if he caught you trying to look at your neighbor's notes just to catch up, he bring you to the front of the class after it was over to lecture you about how rude you were to interrupt.
I wished death upon him daily.

Are you implying that I attended such a prestigious learning institution as ITT?
My worst professors were the ones that flooded you with paper "handouts" as though the 3 books you bought for the class, the lectures, and the notes you took, weren't enough information.

I may have misspoken, you're a DeVry man, aren't you?

I was reading a message board once and someone started a thread "I was accepted to Devry" and they were dead serious. HAHAHAHAH
