Is having a bad teacher REALLY an excuse?

Yes, I think it’s a viable ‘excuse’. The problem is it’s totally objective, and unless your professor has pages of bad repping on a site like reviewum, you’re probably not going to get get far.

Unfortunately, egoic teachers do exist, I think by far the worst ones are the ones that just stare at you and make funny faces when you ask them questions.

I mean, it really just depends. Sometimes, they are teachers that you can please by telling them what they want to hear, but in the case of technical teachers you sometimes get thrown curveballs.

Last semester, I had a calc teacher that covered subjects in depth that no other class really bothered to, can’t remember off the top of my head right now what they were, but yea… it put a ton of stress on everyone that was unnecessary.
