Professors that take forever to grade your papers.

I care less about professors who take a while to grade and more about the ones that, when they finally decide to hand back tests, do so in the most torturous way possible. You know, the ones who say they’ll hand back exams at the end of class and then near the end of class spend 15 minutes talking about how people did on the exam (“grades weren’t as good as I expected” or “there were 10 As, 5 Bs, 3 Cs…”), spend 5 minutes writing the grade distribution up on the board, hand out the solutions to the exam, discuss questions that students had trouble on, and then hand back the exam.

This is not so much an issue when grades are simply posted online, fortunately.
