College Professor is horrible now I am about to fail-What can I do?



My dilemma is that I am a college freshman and have a chemistry Professor who is truly horrible at teaching. The entire class average is a 60. We try to ask questions in class and have him explain things, but he just laughs at us without answering. The tests never contain material that we are studying-always obscure stuff that is randomly taken from the back of the book; or outright trick questions designed to make you fail. He gives notes and tells us the test will be from this, but it never is. Now at the point of not being able to drop the class, he finally gives us our grades back. It took a mass emailing campaign to the department head to even get our first 2 test grades back to us to see how we are doing. We received them today and I failed both of them. Now I am sick because I must absolutely ace my next test and my final to even get out with the minimum grade. I have been studying and working with tutors and am studying 8 hours a day to prepare for the next tests and if I fail, I just feel like giving up altogether. I don’t know what to do. It’s not like I haven’t been trying. When I talk with others that have the same exact class, just different teachers, they are studying completely different material than my class. I am going to school on student loans so every class counts. To get into medical school I must make excellent grades or risk not being accepted. Don’t professors have some type of rules that they must follow and be accountable for their lack of proper teaching? I am more than willing to accept my own failings and lack of knowledge, but when does it become the responsibility of the professor to teach me?
I was told that this professor was removed from teaching another chemistry level class because of issues such as this. The department head is aware of his teaching style but apparently since he has tenure, they just let him continue…According to the rate my professor website, historically he states in his syllabus that he will drop lowest grade and then doesn’t. He has already said he won’t curve the grades, so I guess I am screwed….

How do you feel about online predators?



There is this show out there that catches on line predators by giving the predator an address and say that this is some little firl house and they come to have *** or something and they catch them the guys look like total idots they cry begg say that it could effect there reputation and their life. They should have thought about that when they started emailing teenage girls or guys on the enternet saying that they want to have *** with them.

I am doing an online technical writing internship, and the lady mentioned that if I had transportation I could



I do not have a car and am unable to drive, nor do I know anyone on whom I could rely for transportation at such short notice. But the lady under whom I am doing the internship just sent me an email and mentioned that if I had a car or transportation that I could go to events with her, but the events would often be on short notice, e.t.c., and I just know I am not going to be able to do that because I do not have reliable transportation (and the bus is not reliable because it only comes at certain times, only goes certain places, and you never know how long it will take to get from point A to point B, not to mention that I can’t afford to keep paying for the bus). So what should I tell the lady? I just don’t want to sound like I am not willing to do things…how can I tell her that I really don’t have the means to be able to travel to events, but still be polite about it? Like just what exactly do I say? Keep in mind that she emailed me, so I would be emailing her back.

emergency!: Can someone please help me find a contact EMAIL for the central mass safety council?
