Dr. Asshole

Dr. Asshole taught me for a grand total of 6 classes during my undergraduate career. And he seemed to like me up until the last semester of my undergraduate career. Maybe I was slightly confrontational, but when Dr. Asshole solved a mathematical problem completely wrong, I believed that he should be corrected, especially since this problem was on a test. And that’s what I did. He swore up and down that his answer was correct, even though there was absolutely no way that he was. So I proved him wrong, and ever since then things were no bueno.

Dr. Asshole started having random outbursts. He yelled at me when I asked questions. He yelled at me when I left class to answer an emergency phone call (for the first time ever, I might add). He yelled at me for texting in class when clearly I was trying to set up a tape recorder. He hovered over me during tests as if I was cheating, etc. etc.

I talked to the Dean of my school and the Department Head of my program about his unprofessional behavior. After this, he informed the class that irregardless of complaints, he would have the final say in whatever grade a student would receive. The grade I received on my transcript appears to be his vile way of “keeping his word.”

I did not know that Dr. Asshole was willing to carry his personal vendettas beyond the classroom and into my permanent records. I have received an “A” on all of my assignments/tests in the class and when I saw that he gave me something less than that I immediately contested it. This man single-handedly ruined my 4.0 undergraduate GPA.

The grade is not fixed as of yet. It is only the beginning of a very long process. I am very glad that I have documentation of previous complaints to those higher up the school-authority ladder. And luckily for me, this is not the first time he has been accused of this. This professor has a history of being an asshole. And I hope he gets fired.

Edited to add: Just found out that Dr. Asshole gave everyone in the class the same exact grade. Which means he is basically screwed since the class is based on curved grades.
