Bad Online Teachers

By , About.com Guide   January 23, 2012

Follow me on:

The summer blockbuster Bad Teacher featured a careless junior high instructor that simply didn't care about doing her job. While it's rare, online students sometimes encounter professors that behave similarly (without all the theatrics, of course). What options do you have if you find yourself enrolled in a class where the teacher doesn't show up to scheduled chats, is rude to students, or doesn't respond to emails? Find out what to do if you have a bad professor in this article written just for struggling students.

I’ve been lucky so far with distance learning. I’ve only completed 48-hrs online, but all of my teachers were good. Some graded papers and replied to e-mails slow, but overall I’ve enjoyed all of my teachers.
