               rushing through his notes and speaking rapidly, making

                                opinion                      fact
               it difficult to take notes. When one student asked him to




               go more slowly, he said, “Sorry, we have to get through

                                                  opinion

               material and understand it more. He also does not like




               to respond to questions. When we ask questions, he

               asks us to save them until the end of the period, but

                                                     fact

               he never stops lecturing early enough for us to ask

               questions. His tests are also clearly unfair. When it was




               time for us to take the midterm exam, we had

               covered only Chapters  1            –10,      but the midterm covered

               Chapters  1        – 12     . He told us we would just have to read
