2/ I just hated the guy. Thought he got off on it and was doing it for an ego boost. What he was teaching wasn't hard. And, I was good at it. But, I went to each class dreading it and grinding my teeth before stepping inside.

3/ After the third class, a friend and I walked out together. She made it around the corner of the hallway before she burst out crying. She kept saying, "I can't do this." I thought she meant deal with him. She didn't. She meant she couldn't do financial valuation.

5/ Two days later before his class, trying to be a budding grown up I spoke with him about his "style". His response to me: "If you can't handle it, you shouldn't be in this field." I made it halfway through class that day. On a break, I left and never went back.

6/ I dropped the class with an email to the dean. About three days later, I got a Blackboard blast from him informing students that they need to learn how to handle criticism, otherwise they'll never be capable of "surviving" the real world. (I wasn't the only one to complain.)

7/ But, we weren't in the real world! We were college students and he was a bully. He wasn't doing it to help us survive the real world. He was forcing us to accept his perversion of it, because it made him feel good. I'll never forget him.
