Has anybody ever had a prof walk out of the classroom or blow up at people for running their mouths? How about getting mad b/c people were sleeping? Was just wondering...

i had a high school bio teacher put a frozen chicken (picture the ones on the farm frozen, feathers and all) next to a girl's head when she fell asleep during a video .she freaked out when she woke up, hilarious!, and another (english teacher this time) who burst out in tears during class because she felt we weren't taking an assignment seriously. no crazies in undergrad or med school though. guess they get filtered out by this point.

you get a few quirky ones in med school..but of course..they arent that crazy..if not, they won't be teaching us, they teach in high school and college
some get really pissed off, especially if they are from the clinical school if we do not dress appropriately or some idiot forgot to turn off their handphones
my sis had a lecturer once who threw student's phone's out of the lecture hall window (2nd floor) if she caught anyone texting or someone's phone who rang 😀

In undergrad I had a professor in Mythology who was lecturing while two girls were talking in the back. He stopped lecturing, walked to the back, and pronounced - "Excuse me, I was talking as you were interrupting." I have since used that line on rude people since.
And I once made a professor cry (that's right, cry) when in pharmacy school. I wasn't even being abrasive - just defending another student whom the instructor was picking on.

I had a high school econ/gov't teacher once who was nuts.
He kept on seeing this kid skipping school during lunch to get lunch. So his twin sister was in our class. He goes "tell you're brother that if I ever see him leave campus again that Im going to follow him and wherever he stops to eat, I'll follow him there and slash his tires"
He did as he said he would do the very next day.
Another day a friend of mine who knew his economics pretty well. Got into an argument with him during class. Both went at each other. Ended with the professor going out into the hall way and throwing his fist into a locker.
in med school, we just have everyone bitch about cell phones ringing during class and people walking in late or leaving class early and making a ton of noise doing it. ONe teacher threatened to lock the doors to the room because of it.
Another professor is nuts about people wearing hats in class and will stop talking until the person removes his/her hat.

I had a Physics teacher in undergrad that did blow up and walk out of class one day because people were talking. After that little episode, no one dared to talk again! 🙂 In medical school, there have been a few times where the professors have made comments like "I can't talk over you guys" etc., but as far as really getting angry, I have not seen any of that. One professor even made jokes about people sleeping through his 8 AM lectures.

I had a professor in undergrad who stopped mid-lecture and walked out of class because people were coming in late, reading the newspaper, etc. After that, he took the notes off the Internet, assigned more reading, and made the exams harder.

Oh my gosh,
I had some honors anatomy course in highschool and the instructor was an alcoholic. We could smell it on her, yes, wafting above the cats and rats to be dissected. It was sad, even her sclera were orange. The class went from mildly amused to disgusted when she started slurring her words but giving us really hard tests.
One day, a group of the guys starting giving her grief in front of the class and she ran out screaming and crying. We sat in silence for about 10 minutes. One by one the students left. I found her in the bathroom, crying, lamenting her life as a teacher....

well....in med school we don't get that much entertainment.....the strangest thing that happened this year besides the cellphone bitching was one of the biochem professors answering a student's question during a lecture with a "DUHHHH!!! what do u think!! jesus!" 🙁
oh and during the same lecture....another student (who's a little bit fruity) asked him about the definition of a homodimer....the prof's reply was " r u familiar with the word homo? u obviously are! think about it" 🙁
Apparently...the crazy ones from undergrad and high school are replaced by mean inconsiderate "mentors" in med school.

I had an organic chemistry professor in college who came into class one day and was pacing around the front of the room and was acting like he was really upset. He started playing with the chalk and slammed it down on the chalk ledge. Everyone was really quiet and was wondering what was going on. He then starts lecture acting like he is about to cry and says something to the effect of "This is supposed to be a research university, you think we could do better." He then mopes around for the rest of the hour while he is lecturing. Come to find out some GA had messed up something in the lab and he was just really pissed about it.

Celestron,
I know 2 alcoholic anatomy instructors is not a representative sample size, but let us try our best not to breathe deeply in gross anatomy.
Then again, the chemical composition of the preservative is different now than it was (or so I heard).
You know, I recently finished a biochem course and the professor (whom I heard was placed on academic suspension at one time but is now tenured) looked at me and said, " You students don't get biochemistry because you don't know how to think. The MCAT doesn't mean a thing. Organic Chemistry has nothing to do with real thought and problem solving. You guys are just lazy". This was in response to my question, "Why is the class average so low (F)?".

I had an anthropology professor who HATED it when people would leave his lecture early. One day a suddenly got up from the front of the class and made a b-line for the door. The professor yelled "I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU STUDENTS, THIS KIND OF BEHAVIOR IS SO DISRESPE----." Right then the girl turned around, looked at the professor, and projectile vomitted.
Another time, I was in immunology and the professor was talking about doing hybridoma in hood. This reminded me of a resent event in the lab where I work, so I started telling my friend about it. A moth flew into our sterile tissue culture hood and the professor freaked out. He spent the next 10 minutes trying to get it out of the hood without contaminating it by dousing a yardstick with 95% ETOH and swinging it around. By doing so, he knocked over all the culture media and was completely ineffective. This made the prof even more upset, and eventually he threw the yardstick down, opened the hood, and smashed the moth with his hand. Everyone in the lab was stunned, as this was obviously not sterile. He turned around and said "WELL IT'S MY LAB AND I ****ING DON'T WANT MOTHS IN IT..... (akward pause for a few seconds) besides, the hood was already contaminated anyway" and stormed off. My buddy starting laughing and the immunology professor lost it. "OK, you two, stand up. I'm up here trying to share some of my knowledge with you guys, so now you're going to do the same. Tell everyone what it is that you're talking about." So I did and the class (including the professor) errupted in laughter. The immuno prof responded with "well, at least you were talking about science," and continued the lecture.

You know, I think I only have the studio version of this song. What are some live recordings you'd recommend?
In one of my chem classes, I remember we were testing our urine's pH with those cheap little test kits and the instructor kept saying how urine is sterile and therefore safe to drink. We were all pretty grossed-out when she kind of grinned and took a big gulp of it. 😛 One woman screamed, but everyone thought that it was rather funny when the instructor revealed that it was only apple juice.

Yes, I had a Bio professor this year who FLIPPED OUT at our class of about 150-200 students and told them to stop talking during his lecture, the exact words I can't remember anymore. Consequently the whole class shut up immediately. I've also heard of a prof at my school that has walked out on the class before when they were too noisy.

I had a EE prof in undergrad who hated people coming in late or leaving early. If someone would try to walk in even 20 seconds after the clock in the room said it was time to start class, he would yell at them and tell them to start coming on time.
The lecture hall I had the class in held probably 200 people with doors only at the front on either side of the chalk boards. One day, while his back was turned, someone picked up their stuff and darted out of the room. He swung around with a look of disbelief, yelled at the class "which way did he go?", after people pointed he RAN out of the room and chased the guy down. 10 minutes later, when he finally came back, he simply said, "he will never try that again" and went on lecuturing.
