Mathematics
Professors: Respond to evaluations by creating an account
Ed Pate refuses to discuss homework problems or explain any aspect of mathematics in his lectures. When confronted with the fact that 40% of his students were failing, his response: "Maybe they should drop the class." His unclear objectives (no syllabus, no indication of what will be covered from day to day) along with his unwillingness to meet with students (one office hour per week, which he usually didn't show up for) made him the absolute worst professor that I have ever had. A word of advice: if you walk into your math class on the first day and see Ed Pate...RUN, you'd be better off teaching yourself or taking a summer class at a community college, which is what I and 50 of his other students had to do.
