The Worst Teacher I Ever Had

math professor x 4 = pure excitement

I had an anthropology professor in my early college days who ended up giving me a less-than-stellar evaluation on my final project for a women's studies class I was taking with her. While we'd meet on a regular basis to go over my work, during which she'd give generally positive feedback, the evaluation seemed to go completely against this earlier feedback. I wasn't sure if it was something I did, but I felt pretty taken aback by the 360 she did on me, and it just really made me feel stupid.



In addition to this professor, I had a writing professor whose creative writing workshops were somewhat competitive to enter. I was allowed in and again, I had regular advisor meetings with him about the work I was doing, but my final project evaluation, while not bad, was not as great as I'd like.



I feel like the behavior of these professors made it difficult for me to feel okay as a capable, creative-thinking adult. I am now determined to remove these blocks!
