I sympathize with you, as the math teacher I had for math 120 at Diablo Valley College was awful. Here's the review I wrote for him on www.reviewum.com (The website I use):
"In my opinion: Why is it that teachers who have bad English speaking skills teach math? I had a tough time understanding his accent! He also had a short temper, and would get angry over the littlest things; he also hated it when I asked questions about the material. Am I supposed to magically know everything we're covering? Jeez... I hated how he would make up his own math problems for tests (Which were twice as hard as the problems from the book!). During our 3rd test, he was STILL WRITING UP HIS ANSWER KEY. What if he screwed up on the answer key, and mess up our grades? I also hated how he wouldn't collect homework; if he had done so, it would really have helped my grade. The only reason i'm not giving him an F is because he drops your worst test grade. In conclusion, DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS."


Thank God for websites like these, I picked all my fall semester teachers based on what people said, and i'm happy that I did that.

I find the people that had the least personality in college were the professors teaching science. While Stony Brook University may be the top public university for science, their professors stink. They like to brag about all the nobel prize winners they have, but I had the misfortune of being taught by some of them. To me, the worst thing is to be taught by a nobel prize winner. They act like they have no time to teach you and you would think their S--T was made of potpourri.

The worst professors are the ones teaching the most important classes (at least this is true in many public universities).

The only good math teacher I had in college was this chinese girl. She could hardly speak english but she was really good. However, the class was filled with snotty, white trash who made fun of her accent to cover up for their stupidity.

When anyone tells me that they are going to be teachers, I tell them you better like kids and do not do it to make money. The worst thing a person can do is to want to teach to make money.
