Yes, because a single person complaining is enough to get someone fired. There were over 200 people in that class.

And honestly, if you're going to very obviously not give a shit about the job you have and do a terrible job at it, you don't deserve to keep it. If you are going to use the slides from the prof that taught the course the year before, and then stand up in front of the class and say "I really have no idea how this works" and then try to look it up on Wikipedia, you should not be teaching.

And he's married, his wife works as well.

And he found a different job that doesn't involve teaching. Because he wasn't remotely qualified to teach in the first place. I haven't checked in a while so I have no idea if he managed to keep this job, and I really don't care.

There is a big difference between course instructors and profs that teach the course because no one else will. 2 of my favourite profs only worked at Mac to teach, so the evals basically decided whether they kept their jobs or not. If a tenured professor gets horrible ratings, they will likely just find someone else to teach the course but he will just go back to do research and making the school money

One of the profs I mentioned got fired

I mentioned Michael Jackson once, then he died. One is unrelated to another. If he could have left for a million of other reasons.

That's the most absurd analogy I've ever heard.
I meant one of the profs that I mentioned in a previous post. So that I didn't have to restate things. It was McMaster's decision, not his (according to the department that hired him in the first place).
Whatever, if you want to believe that a prof hired to teach cannot get fired for failing at teaching, go ahead.

Hahaha you're funny! (or not so smart) The post said 'got fired' and you reason it as 'could have left for a million of other reasons.' Why are you trying so hard to undermine other people's statements and bash on them? Is it really that hard for you to understand that some profs are simply bad and should not be teaching in the first place?

What makes you think I thought otherwise?

Hahaha you're funny!

I know. If I could I would marry myself.

or not so smart

Nah, I pick the first one.

Yeah. How dare I have an opinion that this is all a bunch of hooey.

Why would you marry yourself (or anyone for that matter) just because you're funny?

It's not just for personal satisfaction - the tuition of a class of 400+ students adds up to a lot of money every year. Bad professors can give a program or an entire school a bad reputation which leads to lower enrollment. Bottom line: we are the customers, and while the customer is not always right, if a professor is genuinely terrible it is not the complaints of one student getting them fired - it is a consistent pattern of poor work performance. People who are bad at their job shouldn't be allowed to continue doing it.

Stop wasting your time, finish the class this term, and call me crazy with this idea, but dont take any future classes with her as a prof! was that so difficult?

I was about to say you clearly are in a program with choice of prof. You realize in eng, we have no control over prof except with techincal electives. I have had two profs (one elec and one comp ) that i would never want to take a course with. These arent profs that i ust dont like they teaching style and mainly attuide problems have caused probems for people in my year and the previous .

Guess what? Your going to meet a lot of people throughout your life and career that quite frankly, you are not going to like working with. But the world doesnt give a shit! You suck it up, and do the work regardless of your feelings towards the person, whether it be a prof or a coworker.
