For people who have never gone to U Of T, you need to understand why students are complaining about profs giving them unearned Cs. It's because U of T employs a system where each professor is only allowed to give a small number of As, Bs Cs, etc. In each course or they get into trouble. So even if you studied for months and got a 94 on your final exam, you might be given a 85 for that exam because too many students got a 94 or better ( one of my professors told me this straight up in an email).
It's a shitty system. I wish they just gave you the score you fucking earned.
why is that? i just got accepted to the school but this might turn me away frkm there
@@dearestkill It's how they keep the "prestige". They accept a lot of students but the dropout rate is high because this is how they weed people out.
Happy I didn't apply 👌
Yikes; this system almost sounds illegal lol
Do you know if it's the same for law school there?
Prof bar natan is the only one in this video who showed a shred of humility
I would take his class, and I don't particularly like math lol
The browning guy didn’t seem too bad either
Excuse me lol Prof Barense also, even though what she read wasn't really even criticism, because she's pretty great overall
i guess im randomly asking but does anybody know a method to get back into an Instagram account..?
I was dumb lost the account password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me!
@Allan Jamal Instablaster ;)
It's funny because these reviews can probably help them, they just chose to not try and improve
Andrei Serbanescu Are the professors that bad? I'm planning to apply, and I heard great things about the school.
That's because they are too big headed!
Students nowadays are stupid, selfish and narcissistic. They'll complain about everything. The best thing to do is to let them fail.
@@Neuroneos OK boomer
@@allons-y933 I actually have been on that subreddit for some insight. Although what you're saying is true to some extent, this guy here is condemning the whole generation. I mean, dude, why do you think the 60s and 70s were so wild? Boomers. Atleast people are trying to get into college now.
My entire 4 years at U of T summarize in under 2 minutes. Well done.
i hate how arrogant some are. The students wouldn't criticise them for no reason - no one writes a review if they don't intend to help others pick the right professors. They should realise they aren't perfect and try to change not just ignore it.
a lot of students are just salty that they didn't get a good mark
Let’s be honest, a lot of students don’t take college seriously. Even worse when they complain about the professor when it’s the student’s fault for not putting effort in his studies. Each professor is different and not all students will agree on one, so it’s pretty dumb to tell other students not to take a course by (someone) just because you find them annoying or whatever, it’s even more dumb for a student to listen to that criticism. Understand that if you want to share your experience with others about a specific a professor, it’s okay to say his teaching wasn’t working out for you (if that was the case).
If the purpose of your review is to help the professor improve then please give reason to what you’re trying to criticize. Just saying “Worst class ever” does not clarify the problem at all, therefore the professor won’t know what’s wrong and will not improve in that matter, rather he or she will only feel bad and discouraged.
Sure some professors aren’t good but frankly your success does not rely on them, so their behavior should not be any of your concerns.
Separate work from your emotions and learn how to deal with people despite how different or difficult they are, that’s the real world, which eventually you will figure it out soon.
@@AnonyTests facts facts facts
@M D what is a secret society
No bro it’s all you bro, the person who chooses all the material, teaches all the material and grades all the material is never at fault for people learn that material and perform in their tests, you should’ve just studied more
Him pondering for a good minute about the meaning of "Bah humbug" killed me XDD
That chemistry professor looks a lot like Liam Neeson.
Rafa Cena He looks more like Skinny version of Bill Gates in person
Professer thank you for giving us C+ class average and screwing our life up
praise this comment.
My last math professor gave me a damn C with a class average grade. Dude teaches differential equations with the most obscure of problems one can find fuck that cat.
C+ average is a very typical class score. Study harder if you want to do better than average.
he didnt give u that grade, you earned that grade
@@elilevit4574 no one got an A in his course maybe he's the problem
To be entirely fair to these profs, some of them are legit great. Anyone who has taken classes with Browning knows he's the GOAT.
Glad they are spreading the news about this website through other sources of media so more people can see what professors to avoid and how they take their criticism.
okay but the “umm” teacher seems so cute haha
Thank you professor browning for Giving the class average a 55% on first midterm. Much love.

Thats what the avarage should always be, right?
@@trol4889 55% thats the average. Thats what the average should be.
@@MisFellatio if the average student who got accepted to a program can barely pass the first exam in a class there is something wrong. average should be a C.
I mean, he is a chemistry professor, so 55% sounds about right.
I like Prof. Rule's personality. He's right you can't please everyone.
If you say that about every critical voice you're pleasing no one. And then you're simply doing a bad job.
If you're really good you can
BAH HUMBUG
my political theory prof has a wikipedia page that in turn has a controversy section
i think thats more telling than any review on his ratemyprof page
When I saw Professor Barense I said ummmm mmmmmmm
1:40 "Don't take this class if you respect yourself !" 😎😂😂😂
Should do one w UTM and UTSC profs too lol
I wish you did more of these
we need to invite Alfonso to here
Nah, he's seen them already. That's why he's so jaded
Most of these are perfectly accurate.
Niether of your S.R.'s were wrong, it's all relative
Alex Russell depend on your point of view
Is it normal for an English speaking physics professor not to know what SR is?
@@PedroTricking I guess it's special relativity, right?
@@aperture0 Yep, it's definitely ok for people in general not to know.
Wow how did you get these profs to do this!
For those who don’t understand ba humbug it’s a reference to Scrooge from a Christmas Carol.
have to understand that this is for U of T, where their system is to accept literally everyone and continuously try to weed people out by increasing difficulty and trying to set averages to 60s - a 70. some professors don't intend to cause bad experiences but they can't do much against the department and administration whose actual job it is to think of clever ways to make students lives worse
Should've put in the incarnation of Lucifer aka bailey
Pls tell me Prof Austin wears that hat in class. I’m going to be studying history at u of t and it would make my day to know this.
omg, browning's here, lol!!
how is the mathematics professor in 360p whereas the video is at 720p interesting
Wonder why Robert Austin wants to contact that person again?🤨1:00?
I wanna see psy100 Professor Ashley on it, honestly there got be a lot of resentment there
I had professor Browning's chem course before, and .....failed epically.
1:45 "Bah humbug!" is the response phrase Ebenezer Scrooge uses in Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol when anyone wishes him a happy Christmas, so either the reviewer meant the Prof is a miserable miser like Scrooge, or the reviewer is casting disdain on the Prof by imitating Scrooge's miserly nature. Either way, it's an insult not a compliment. Funny how the Prof was stumped at the meaning of it, like he isn't well read or culturally aware. Actually makes you wonder how he got a teaching job?!
Well he's a Chemistry Professor not a Literature, Media or Communication's Professor.
0:58 aww she's like Erin from the office
Any other UofT students? 🙌
what Dr. Barense is awesome, cmon some of these are just not valid. uoft isnt for everyone and we do have our fair share of tough profs, but the majority are very good and if you put the effort it, it is very much worth your while :)
eddie long truth in this statement
eddie long hey I was planning to study there for my undergraduate in the EngSc discipline! Have you taken their undergrad programme too?
Tell that to the prof who played porn in front of 500 1st year students
@@nuzhatnayeem1119 WHAT??? explain
@@nuzhatnayeem1119 well, at least you were... receptive after that, i assume?
C- on humility
The good looking profs are always the hardest.
0:24 lowkey wanna take her class just to tell the prof "my sister has read this [her grade & feedback] too BTW she thinks it's mean."
Mmmmm, Professor Nicholas Rule... I would take his class any time.
These reviews aren’t actually real reviews of anything that the professors can address, they’re just criticisms of either their personalities or just child like “they suck” rants. A real review says something like: professor is only available during 50% of their stated office hours, refuses to explain concepts in alternative ways, makes inappropriate comments during class (e.g. racist, sexist, etc), encourages oppressive practices by ... I think it’s hard to take childish remarks seriously and the reviews don’t help with stereotypes about millennials being entitled.
obviously S.R. is special relativity
thanx
I actually think professor Browning teaches really great...
Professor Barenses looks like Bree Van der Kamp from Real Housewives LOL (the redhead)
Browning!! Ahhh!!!
Really need prof brym to read some of these
Prof barnatan seems nice
I love that his last name is Rule 😂
This school honestly has some pretty 'tenured attitudes'.
none are from Canadian universities I bet. System is Fxxxed
Impossible for a Canadian to become a prof...all these poor struggling PHDS
dreaming of becoming a prof...No matter how many post docs /books written etc...you have to come from Ivy league even if you have written 1 paper only
how does bro not understand Bah Humbug
some of them are so true though XD
0:53 professor Barense is Gerald proved 😂😂😂🤔hmmm
0:52 “Professor Barense didn’t say ummmm after reading the reply, oppurtunity wasted” 2 stars could have been a 4.5.
... Loool I have a lot to say too
It really shows how arrogant some of them are. Some are typical control freaks. If you don’t care about your students why would I care about what your children think? I wanna know if they screwup their children’s lives like they do to students
Prof Barense looks so posh.
S.R. = "Student Review"?
Special relativity.
Tf does BAG HUMBUG mean??? 😂😂😂
Where is the only u of t professor worth taking? Peterson needs to do one of these
Jack Parkinson, bba managment pls
Universities in general focus on research and teaching is not the primary purpose. Most PhDs receive no training on how to teach effectively. This results in mediocre teachers but great researchers at universities.
In my mind these students are venting and bullying the teachers. None of the 'reviews' are constructive.
Also did you know women professors are often rated worse in attitude and as 'arrogant' or 'unfriendly' when they have the same attitude as their male colleagues. There have been proper studies on this.
I think people are more accepting of rude behavior from a man.
professor barense, i would take her just to be in the same room as her..
funny seeing as some can barely manage to read a phone screen they sure do look like professors mmhhmm
Bah Humbug! This course a humbug uncle? It is no such thing. Oh what is course time but a time time to spend other people's money slaving away until dusk or one is to tired, a time for worry constantly about one grades. If a saw a jolly class goer I would strange him with is perfectly written and timely turned in papers! - Scrooge of the College universe
Im 2020er 😨
What's even more amazing is that there is a professor at a prestigious University who doesn't understand a Charles Dickens quote.
Esse povo n ia durar no Brasil
U can't be brilliant, smart, over achieving, great researcher and good at givin' lectures'!! U gotta miss somethin' on the way!!
I didn't go to UofT, but I've read some research papers published by its professors... very interesting
If you're going to a school like UofT and expect easy A's across the board, then you'd be better off going somewhere else and lowering your expectations for a future career (although full disclaimer this is not always entirely true, but in many cases it is). They're meant to be challenging and you shouldn't expect to be perfect like you might have been in high school because most other students who attend them aren't. What they're meant to do is to prepare you to perform at a high level in a demanding, high pressure work environment with a career that will pay you well. Provided you can survive a school like UofT, you will find that in any career, the work you do there will be so much easier in the long run because you've not only been taught how to do your work, but also to deal with the stress and commitment it takes to do well. If you can't push yourself to accept failure and work past it to survive at UofT, then you definitely wouldn't be a good fit for those types of careers in the first place.
Better chance of a future to go anywhere but UofT. No one in grad school is from Uof T. they are from brock mac etc.where they can get the marks..Heads up...A mark is a mark to get into dentistry etc,,,be it from York or UOFT.They eat their young.Want to get into medicine, law etc, DON'T GO TO UOFT undergrad,,,you'll never get the marks
Work smart...not hard
This was supposed to humanize them. But it made most of them look even worse
Where’s Peterson
Professor has to be arrogant to teach.
These professors are arrogant af and maybe should take a hint if they actually want to improve themselves for the benifit of the students learning at least!
Mathew G funny for u to think they actual give a shit about their students’ marks and learning. They clearly have no interest in teaching as they do it purely for the money
0:51 *HOT* 😍
unironically not funny like these types of videos should be please stop
U of T undergraduates are generally snarky and arrogant and passive aggressive.
Of course, POSt is hard to make. Im a second year student at UTM and I'm still trying to get into commerce.
Urban Studies ?? No wonder a degree today is useless
