Today, I asked my college chemistry teacher for some much-needed help. Instead of explaining anything to me, she scoffed that if I don't understand something, I should "just Google it." FML

Today, my university professor admitted to sometimes just winging it when she's teaching. "Yeah," she said, "sometimes I just don't get this stuff either." No wonder I'm failing. FML

Today, we were taking a bio quiz and I understood the subject, so the people sitting behind me asked me to help them out. Being a kind fellow classmate, I did. When the teacher got suspicious, she asked the class, "How are all of you getting the same answers?" everyone pointed directly at me. FML

Today, I was walking with my very attractive friend who I like a lot. She then told me that her roomate wouldn't be home tonight, and if I wanted, I could come over and study history. I didn't get it. I told her no thanks, that I was covered, and it was chem I needed to study. An hour later, I understood. FML

Today, after I took my first set of exams, my professor posted on Twitter, scoffing at how stupid one student's answer was. The answer he quoted was one that I wrote. FML

Today, I had a science test. A question asked, "What is the first stage of photosynthesis?" I didn't know, so just trying to be light-hearted, I wrote, "The plant must first believe in itself." My teacher didn't think it was funny, and gave me detention for insulting her intelligence. FML

Today, I found out I've miserably failed a college exam. My friend had agreed to pass me answers if I needed them, since I've hardly studied this year. We were on the phone when she said, "Oh, those answers were bullshit. Serves you right, huh?" FML

Today, my professor snapped and told me that I know nothing, that everything I've ever learned is wrong, and that all of my former teachers should be shot. FML

Today, after realizing my flashcards had fallen out of my binder, I asked my teacher if I could quickly go to my locker to get them. She said no and told me to go sit down. As soon as class ended, I went to my locker and brought them to her. Her response? "Why didn't you ask me to get these during class?" FML

Today my college professor told me that I ask him too many questions. Apparently, my college tuition fee doesn't include learning. FML

If everyone Googled everything, no one would need to pay your teacher's salary.

If you're in college you're paying to be taught, not paying to google everything instead. Go above her and make a complaint and see if she still doesn't feel like doing her job.

I had a calculus instructor (GTA) that literally said the same thing every time someone would ask him a question. He was terrible. When he was evaluated by one of the professors, she told said she wanted to take the chalk out of his hand and do it herself b/c all the crap he was writing on the board was wrong.

Sounds like my prof for harmony. She constantly offered to help us in the campus cafe and then she'd basically send us away and tell us to use google when we went to her for help. >_

Well the colleges I have attended so far have all had a teacher review survey at the end of each semester. Hopefully, OP, yours does too and you can be very honest about how this teacher talks to their students and their lack of professionalism.

Controversial topic here. First I want to say that really does suck. Especially since you are trying so hard as evidenced by yielding u asking your prof for help and so she should help you. However, that being said, profs do have a tough job and are asked a lot of really stupid questions that could easily be answered by a quick Google search or wiki search or your textbook.
