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 …

I wonder if that's a finance thing. I dropped a finance class in college for several reasons but partially b/c the professor insisted on cold-calling for mental math problems because "if you want to be a trader you need to be able to do that" (I had no interest in being a trader)

I had a CS professor a bit like that during my undergrad days. He would call a student up to the board to solve a problem then when they made a mistake, say "This is so easy. You need to study harder."

Eventually he called on this one student who said, "No way." "Why not?" asked the prof. "Because I'll make a mistake and you'll humiliate me in front of the whole class." Prof chilled out a little after that.
