My daughter had a terrible economics teacher. He was hard to understand due to a thick accent, but the problem was really that he never addressed the material. Instead he ranted about his daily life, problems with his girlfriend and his student visa. He was a graduate student who had to teach to keep his scholarship. The members of the class went to the Dean to try to get help and were turned away. They totally bombed him in a similar fashion to the professor cited in the article above, but three years later HE STILL IS TEACHING. It is an absolute travesty that he keeps this job,destroying undergrads GPA’s through inane lectures that have nothing to do with the material over which he tests. When my daughter asked for help from a friend who was getting his Masters in economics at a nearby university, he looked at the material and said that it wasn’t even sophomore level, it was simply the grad level work reworded from an existing text. So he didn’t even address the needs of his students. And this is why people are so bitter at the way universities treat our kids.
