I missed the last two days of class, and did not email him before class telling him I was going to miss. Evidently this was a requirement for the class. He emailed me today and told me I could not return to class until I meet with him and the school dean, and if I didn't do it by Monday he was going to assign an F for the course.
I met with him this afternoon, and he was in a tizzy. Unreasonable tizzy it seemed to me. At any rate, he chewed me out for 10 minutes and then asked if I was going to drop the course. I said, no, I would like to remain in. So, he told me I had two strikes against me and if I got a 3rd, it was an F for the course. He also told me he was going to call on me for every question in class tomorrow, I suppose to more or less make an example of me. That means I've got to have every case memorized and every detail categorized and analyzed. And it won't matter how well I do, I can tell he's going to intentionally put me on the spot and grind until he embarasses me. Ah well. Such is the life of a lowly student.
He's a temperamental, eccentric, and more than a little off kilter liberal who seems to be happier when a student answers wrong than when they answer right. You all know anyone like that?
