Earlier this week, in a lecture hall of around 400 students, one of my professors did something really inappropriate. He was having trouble zooming in on one of his slides and the class as a whole was trying to direct him to the magnifying glass button. A girl in the front row (who actually annoys the crap out of me) jumped up to help him on stage. She didn't hit the zoom button, and the class all yelled "No" at her in unison. Right after we did that, the prof motioned like he was pretending to shoot her in the back of the head with his hand.
Even though I laughed because the girl is on her own level of obnoxious, it really was wrong of him. She was just trying to help him.
On Monday, the same prof threatened us as a whole class. He was mad at us for packing up our things before the bell rang and for just generally not paying attention. (I try to listen, but the man is kind of monotone and I have a limited amount of focus). He said, "I haven't finished writing your exam for Thursday and I can't decide if I am mad at you guys, or really mad at you guys." After taking the exam, I think I can assess that he is moderately angry with us. Still, I think he should stick to his research. I'm sure he is intelligent, but having a lot of knowledge in an area, doesn't mean you have the ability to teach it to others and it certainly doesn't mean you have people skills.
