How to recover from a miserable professor.

First of all, I don't understand what 'prior to this one' is referring to since this is your first post in this thread.

That was actually my second post to this thread. Not a big deal anyways, I was just clarifying, but I understand now that you did not read or see my initial post. :)

I am sorry for not reading it. I must have missed it while typing my reply to mege. But, now that I have read it, it further corroborates my point. Namely, don't take Physics in summer if it is a core course for your curriculum.

I think these guys are reputable, so I am told at least.

I wish I were over exaggerating the severity of my circumstance, but sadly I am not. I have no problem teaching myself, though it is frustrating because you know, I am paying them!, but even self study leading to full knowledge of the material seems frustrating because of the phrasing of the test/quiz questions. There are always a few questions that do not come from the lecture (if you can call it that) or the book.

QC,

My two cents, for what it is worth, if this professor is really as bad as you say she/he is I would report him/her to the academic dean. If you are smart and lobby classmates who feel the same, who all agree on points that are beyond dispute, showing up in the Dean's office with a bunch of students with you on the same page will have an effect.

I did it on college, and they backed down on forcing requirements down our throats that we did not agree to when we signed on to the program. My situation did not involve a professor, it involved a committee, who upon review of the situation had to make an exception for those involved. The bottom line was we found the right person, with the right amount of power and influence, and we prevailed in the situation. I wish you well in yours.
