My Professor Hates Me

I just need to vent for a bit...

I've never had a teacher or professor go out of their way to make me feel uncomfortable and hated until now. My Spanish professor is a nightmare. She speaks with a heavy Colombian accent, which makes it hard to understand her in both English and Spanish. She doesn't explain concepts or assignments well at all. If you don't do every single bit of your homework (and it's a lot, daily) and know more than you need to know, she'll put you on blast and embarrass you in front of the whole class by drilling you with questions in Spanish or just making you feel stupid. She goes around the room and makes each student answer questions in Spanish. If we don't speak fast enough or mess up a word or two, she'll make you repeat the same sentences over and over again until you're embarrassed and tongue-tied. No one in my class likes her, and everyone feels very uncomfortable.

She especially hates me. On maybe the second day of class, she was putting us all on blast drilling us with questions, and at one point she drilled me and I laughed a bit and then tried to answer. She got mad at me and said "Why are you laughing?"

Uhhhh, I'm laughing because I'm nervous as hell and you're making us all feel extremely uncomfortable. But of course I didn't say anything. I didn't want to cause any unnecessary animosity.

On the third or fourth day of class, we had to read stories that we wrote in Spanish about a funny incident that happened. I forgot to write my paragraph (because we had a million other assignments to do and she happened to focus on that one), so I wrote one up really quickly before I had to read mine. Mine was about a kid who had diarrhea and had to run to the bathroom screaming help. Diarrhea is one of our vocab words and it was kind of funny to me. So I read mine, and she stopped me and said "diarrhea? That's not funny. I don't know why you think this is funny" and rolled her eyes at me.

Well, after class today she pulled me outside, and this is roughly how the conversation went:

"I noticed that you haven't been doing any of your Wiley Plus homework."

"I didn't know that we had Wiley Plus homework. It was never explained. I don't even know where to find it."

*explains the process to me*

"Okay, I'll do it all today then. I didn't even know that was part of our homework. Thanks."

"And you also need to start taking this class seriously. Your story about diarrhea was very inappropriate and I can tell you're not taking this seriously. I gave you a 70 on it because I didn't like it."

End of conversation. So she gave me a 70 on my homework because she "didn't like it," even though the homework itself only had one grammar mistake. Clearly favoritism.

She's a b*** and a bully, and I'm sick of it. I don't know why she hates me, and I have no idea what to do about it. I can't drop the class because I need four semesters of Spanish to graduate. I'm screwed. And I've already been close to crying in that class twice now. I feel like punching her in the face.

She's probably jealous of you. Would it be a bad idea to lodge a formal complaint?

I'd definitely lodge a complaint, tell them everything you've said here so far. If anyone else agrees with you in your class (which it sounds like), maybe they could go with you.

Yeah, everyone I've talked to has complained along with me. I also get sympathetic looks or remarks when she starts in on me in particular, and I can tell that almost everyone is uncomfortable in that class. If I complain, I don't think it would do any good. My university is not organized when it comes to that sort of thing and really doesn't seem to do anything to fix issues.

I just caught up on all the online homework I was missing, so I'm going to see if she'll give me a fair grade for it. I want to email her and let her know, but I'm not really sure what to say without pissing her off.

Perhaps you and some of your friends in that class should rally together to lodge a collective complaint, or series of complaints.

Punch her out.

You should blackmail her. I could apprehend her criminal and driving history...for law enforcement purposes, of course. :|

On a slightly more serious note, we could be talking harassment. Step into my office.

Well, I went up to her after class today and asked if she had seen the assignments I completed online, and she said no. Sooooo yeah, that's great.

Really, you should file a formal complaint about this professor, with friends from your class who can act as witnesses to corroborate your statement.

Don't let your grades pay the price for this instructor who seems like a disgrace to the name professor.

What a nazi.

I would have already lost it and spoken up in class.

Complain and find a new teacher.
