I’m 40 - the school I go to specializes in “working adults” There are almost no 19 year olds in class - and a good portion of any classroom is over 30. In some ways, that has made the situation more difficult, the jerk prof insisted “college needs to be your first priority” - no, my first priority is my kids and husband, my second is my full time career type job, college is a distant third. College can be your first priority when you are 19, you don’t have kids and your job is part time at The Gap.
Some people are jerks. And while MOST college instructors I’ve had don’t fall into that category, a few, unfortunately, do.
Isn’t the bigger problem the fact that this professor has lost all credibility as a reliable source of info?
I mean, you apparently have run into dozens of points where what he said was untrue based on your own knowledge. Almost certainly this means he has been wrong about dozens of other things that you didn’t happen to know about already.
To me, that means you should not accept this professor’s word about anything…and in that case, what the hell are you paying for? Why not ask to be re-imbursed for the percentage of your tuition that this course represents? You won’t get it, but maybe it’ll make the admins pay more attention to your complaint of incompetence.
