Haha. This sounds like a great professor. Don’t get it twisted. His goal is not to fail all of his students. If every student in the class failed, he would not be a professor at the university anymore, since the grades of his students are more of a reflection on him than the actual students.

His goal with this speech is to get students that have no self confidence to leave the class so that he is only left with the best and the brightest. Just tell your daughter to hang tough and do the best she can. She will be fine as long as she is confident in her abilities. Besides, it’s only, what, the first week of class? Let her figure out what he is all about.
