Calculus is OK but the instructor has a really high, nasal voice that grates on my head.
My old calculus instructor on the first day of class:
"You may have heard it said that there are no stupid questions. This is not true. I find all questions to be stupid. Do not ask me any. If you do, I will take it as an indication that you have not been listening in lecture."
The next day only five of forty students showed up.
Sounds like a charming man.
Think Professor Snape, only balding and without honor.

Were you one of the five, gwen?
Yes, yes I was. However, first impressions proved correct and the second session was my last.
That was the beginning of the end of my university career. That quarter I got an "A" by BSing and parroting an instructor's opinion for a mandatory project on why all white people are racist.
The next quarter regulations changed, and in my second year of university I (along the with the rest of the world) was forced to take a course called "How to Succeed in College". The administration was unmoved by my observation that, seeing as how I had been succeeding in college for quite some time, such a course would be unnecessary. "Everybody has to take it." O-kay.
More like "How to Succeed in the Twilight Zone under Chairman Mao." But that's another story.
