I like how the Professor at 1:30 flat out just said "Yeah, that was a rough year for me". I applaud him for being transparent, and acknowledging that he had some unfortunate things behind the scenes affecting him. I think that what some people don't realize is that it's incredibly hard to appeal to every student that you teach, and leaving them informed with lectures every single day is extremely difficult if you get even the slightest bit distracted.

I really liked how the chemistry professors took the criticisms as valid and were not offended but also gave some perspective as to what was going on in their personal lives during that time

I’ve found that science professors typically are always super friendly (maybe because they constantly have to work with many other professors given the complex and intertwined nature of science so regularly have the same experience as students of having to learn a new high level concept from a professor giving them a lot more empathy and understanding for students) whereas social studies and fields like that where a professor can do a lot of work with minimal input from other professors can become much more prideful and condescending. An example would be that a history professor could specialise in a specific war and would not really need input from other history specialists beyond papers and research whereas a biology professor specialising in a specific protein still needs input from biochem, physics, statistics and computer science specialists to get a clear picture of the topic and perform experiments with advanced equipment. Obviously, pretty much all professors should have a deep passion for what they research and the main differentiator between a good and a bad professor is typically if they teach because they want to spread their passion or if they teach because the university/college requires it in exchange for using the university’s facilities and resources. I think its really obvious even with only a few classes to tell if a professor is the former or the latter.

I believe that teachers who can't take criticism or are unwilling to admit where they need to grow aren't good teachers. For instance, Richard Loomis and Megan Daschbach read multiple less-than-favorable reviews, but they're both still able to admit where they may have struggled because they know they aren't always right or perfect. This shows me exactly how they behave while teaching and I'm willing to bet they are significantly more accommodating and more of their students actually like them.

I know some great professors, hell even some of my own mentors when I was in grad school, who seem like complete a dicks from the outside, and maybe there is some truth to it, but as soon as you put in some work to get beyond that, you would find that they are rockstars in their field, and really care about what they teach and as a result find it personally insulting when students don't show that same level of dedication into the course and field of study. Generally, they were also no bs straight to the point people, they were not afraid of calling out students and generally had the experience to back it up. Now I would never judge someone based on one KZread video, but just a quick look over of his research and career tells me that he very well could be one of those people, he has the creds to back up his attitude. Not every professor is going to try to be your friend, or even care about your feelings, and some are prideful, as this is their life's work, and many students will walk all over you and your work if you let them, despite the fact that they refuse to work hard enough to succeed.

Still aced them though.
