Posted: 10/13/07 at 2:36amMr. Connolly, my freshman year calculus professor. His nickname was "No Credit Connolly" because he once failed an entire class due to his horrendous teaching skills. He had actually retired but was asked to come back five years later to teach the same subject. I can't imagine what he was like before his retirement. He would talk to the board the entire class with his back facing us, and sometimes let us off 20 minutes early if he wasn't feeling well. What a loon!

This isn't my professor, but one of my friends has her and she is weird. She smokes in the classroom. She makes her students call her "Dr. Frizzle" because she says that she's like Ms. Frizzle from The Magic School Bus. Apparently on the first day of class she said, "I'm Dr. Frizzle and you are my bitches."

Ms. Geil. Older than god, wears glitter on her cheeks everyday, brings a suitcase everywhere she goes, and took a nap in class b/c she was tired.

Posted: 10/13/07 at 8:01amOne of my theatre professors who wore thin glasses and would scream at people in Chinese or just say if you were doing a scene and she didn't like it, she would say "You suck, sit down!" or if she were directing the play: "You F-k up my show!" But she was so funny.

I had a calculus professor who had some sort of OCD. He literally said everything twice. I really don't know how I didn't go insane in that class.

I remember a lot of whining about having spent tons of money to go to school for years only to end up getting paid pennies to teach intro classes to non-majors only interested in fulfilling their general education reqirements.
Yeah, lots of bitterness.
My professors were generally pretty cool, though. When it came to the ones who were a little wacky, I just played into the wack. You know, just help fill in their grooves.

Posted: 10/13/07 at 10:23amMy current english professor will stop in the middle of a lecture and start talking about Spongebob Episodes! He's cool though.

Professor Buscemi, my English professor for the Fall 06 semester of my Freshman year at Middlesex County College or as I call it the University of North Edison in Jersey was just so odd. He would come into class out of breath like he just ran a marathon, but he walked to class. He would fumble with his clothes in the middle of class, he took his shoes off once. He was an alright professor, but he was really strange.
Professor Bachmann, my math professor during the same semester at the same school wasn't odd, but she was really, really boring. She was basically a female Ben Stein with her voice.
Professor Winik, my acting professor at the same school last spring was really odd as well. She was the only professor I had that would not tell us in advance if class was cancelled. We were doing monologues the week before Spring Break in March and the day before was that snow storm and I got to class with about 4 minutes before it started and there were a couple of us there and she never showed up. We were so angry. Some people would ask her questions, and she wouldn't answer cause she probably didn't hear. She was also the oldest professor I've had, I think she's been teaching since at least the late 70s. When she was grading the scenes we did as finals, she turned to me and my partner and talked to us about the scene. We did a scene from Dracula and I played Dracula and he was Renfeld and she turned to me and said "Why didn't you wear a cape?" She had all these reasons for it, but I was like, "What would it have matter if I wore a cape?", there are other versions of Dracula without a cape.
Professor Grey, my psychology professor this semester is a cool guy but he's really odd. We were talking about the brain and how if surgeons opened someone's head up, the person wouldn't need to be knocked out for it to which he started talking about the scene in Hannibal where he's feeding Ray Liotta his brain and then he got on for about 10 minutes about weird food.
Professor Honey, my health professor this semester, probably the worst professor I've ever had so far. The man doesn't teach. He comes in, puts a tape on, we watch and then talk about that or some random stuff and then when the test comes, nothing we discussed in class or barely anything we discussed in class is on it. This is the man who's pretest was 120 questions, a pretest is not 120 questions, more like 60. We have to do a paper in the class...twelve pages.
Professor Marshall, my English professor this semester isn't a bad professor, a little on the odd side. He's a hard grader because he has a thing set up where if your paper has any of the certain errors in it like run on sentences or misplaced commas, the paper automatically gets an F. So, if your paper is great, but you have a misplaced comma or a run on sentence, it's an F and you have to Rewrite it.
