All in all the meeting with the dean of the Performing and Communication Arts Department went really well today. Apparently my class isn't the only class that hates Magee-Baker. Every modern dance class that she has taught has come in to complain about the evil hag. The dean told us what he was thinking about doing to quell our situation and the one thought he had was talking to the president to see if they might be able to cut our class short for the semester. That would mean no final in dance and ending the class on top. This could be good. He said he'd get back to me and my colleagues in the next day or two to let us know what's going on. Hopefully they end this class early. Keeping my fingers crossed.
I'm usually not one to check those sites like ratemyprofessor.com but a few of my colleagues in dance said to check out her rating and I just finished doing that. Every single person gave her a sad face. That's really sad that none of her students have liked her ever. I don't see how she can stand up in front of a class and call herself "excellent" when she doesn't even know how to deal with her students. She's a bitch and she looks down at us like we're so much less than she is. She doesn't even have the respect to look us in the eyes when we're talking to her. She looks away to the ceiling instead of at us. It's really sad. I have no respect for her after spending the semester getting to know her as a teacher and yet I still give 100% in class all the time. She doesn't appreciate that at all. I never give her any lip in class and yet she still makes it so clear that she hates me. She brought up racial issues in one class and made it seem like us white people are still out to get her and make her life miserable. It's pretty funny how much I could bitch and moan about this single professor. No, wait, wench. She doesn't deserve the title professor. I won't go on for my own sake.
