I don't wanna say which one, since this semester is ending soon, I don't want cause any trouble.
But how do you guys deal with rude prof? I mean unreasonably rude. I feel like the profs have all the power, and students are pretty powerless.

You could try going to the Ombuds office in the student center. Can't really give better advice than that since we don't know the situation

Some profs look at students as funding and not people. Unfortunately there is basically nothing you can do.

^ Definitely agreed.
What bothers me more is when profs don't have any passion about teaching.
Some profs, whose names shall not be mentioned, are literally annoyed when students ask questions.
Honestly, they should seriously stop teaching and leave the university.

They're probably here mostly for research. And, they also probably don't want to be teaching the course any more than you want to have them as a prof, but it's out of their control as well.
I don't personally believe that excuses their attitude, but not everyone looks at the glass half-full. When teaching is such a small part of their job it's pretty extreme to suggest that they lose their whole job (which also probably brings in money to the university) because of it.

Definitely go to the OMBUDS office in the student center, (I believe it's on the 2nd floor) they deal with that sort of thing.
Sorry to hear about this! I hope you get it fixed soon
Good luck!

You could also mention this on your course evaluations so that there is a written and formal record evaluating the professor's strengths and weaknesses.
1 - post who it is, so we can avoid them
2 - tell us what happened cause we're curious
3 - make sure to do something, or you'll feel bitter for a long time.
