Don't be scared, everyone is in the same boat as you, try to treat the prof with an open mind, he may be ok. Best of luck :hug:
It's a lady professor.
Last year I had a math professor from somewhere in Russia, I think.
He could barely speak english, and everyone hated him.
I was nice to him and also I happened to not be as dumb as the rest of my class.
I got an A in the class, and the professor ended up liking me,
because everyone else was an impatient jerk.
The worst part was, that first of all, it was middle-school leveled math, and they were all angry that he wasn't teaching them very well. (they should have already known how to do it. The class was on how to TEACH the math to kids, not on how to actually do the math...)
and secondly, it was for people who want to be teachers. If you are immediately impatient and angry with someone who isn't speaking clearly and you get frustrated and angry with them so quickly, how will you work out as a teacher? Not very well, I think. Teachers should be patient with people. What if they get a new student who moved from China and they don't know english very well. Will they be mean to them? Probably. I hated the students in that class.
But I have a way about me where usually professors like me, so hopefully the people who think she's mean are just morons who acted like idiot jerks so the professor didn't like them. She might like me, since I think I'm pretty nice and understanding. I don't think she'll have a reason not to like me... Even though some people just hate everyone... We'll see.
