13. Professor FINK

Jan 2013

His real name. He once threw an overhead projector across the room. He assigned boatloads of homework with strict instructions and graded even stricter. A woman once took his class and he wrote "quit the class" and "give up" on her returned homework. One time, after doing weekend homework that took me 14 hours to do, the woman in his class went to his office before class and handed in her homework to him, telling him she had strep throat and could not show up in class. He gave her a zero anyway. We started out the class with 20 students. When I dropped the class, there were 9 students left in the class. Fink was tenured, so he was never removed from his position.
