1/ I had a financial valuation professor in undergrad who spent each class calling on people; asking them for answer; then, berating them almost without fail. Like, you could get the answer correct, and he'd still criticize you while implying you weren't good at it.https://twitter.com/fchollet/status/967868541323034624 …
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.
