(16,097 posts)60. Great story
I took organic chem at Cal from a Nobel Laureate who was a singular jerk. He was writing madly on the chalk board - the kind that are on a track and after you have filled one board, you push it up and keep writing. Someone in the class asked a question several boards back, and his answer was "if you were two weeks ahead in your assignments, as you should be, you would know the answer to that." Then he kept writing. He was one of those professors that is forced by the university to teach a lower division course when all he wants to do is further his research. I learned much more from my TA than I ever did from him.
