Today, I asked my college chemistry teacher for some much-needed help. Instead of explaining anything to me, she scoffed that if I don't understand something, I should "just Google it." FML

Today, my professor asked me a question in class. Thinking it was a rhetorical question, I shrugged and said, "Google it." It wasn't. He stared at me in silence for the longest 10 seconds of my life. FML

Today, my university professor admitted to sometimes just winging it when she's teaching. "Yeah," she said, "sometimes I just don't get this stuff either." No wonder I'm failing. FML

Today, we were taking a bio quiz and I understood the subject, so the people sitting behind me asked me to help them out. Being a kind fellow classmate, I did. When the teacher got suspicious, she asked the class, "How are all of you getting the same answers?" everyone pointed directly at me. FML

Today, I was walking with my very attractive friend who I like a lot. She then told me that her roomate wouldn't be home tonight, and if I wanted, I could come over and study history. I didn't get it. I told her no thanks, that I was covered, and it was chem I needed to study. An hour later, I understood. FML

Today, after I took my first set of exams, my professor posted on Twitter, scoffing at how stupid one student's answer was. The answer he quoted was one that I wrote. FML

Today, I had a science test. A question asked, "What is the first stage of photosynthesis?" I didn't know, so just trying to be light-hearted, I wrote, "The plant must first believe in itself." My teacher didn't think it was funny, and gave me detention for insulting her intelligence. FML

Today, I was trying to finish an English assignment and I was not sure how to complete it, so I emailed my teacher to ask her for help. She told me to… flip over the assignment handout page for instructions. FML

Today, I found out I've miserably failed a college exam. My friend had agreed to pass me answers if I needed them, since I've hardly studied this year. We were on the phone when she said, "Oh, those answers were bullshit. Serves you right, huh?" FML

Today, my professor snapped and told me that I know nothing, that everything I've ever learned is wrong, and that all of my former teachers should be shot. FML

If everyone Googled everything, no one would need to pay your teacher's salary.

If you're in college you're paying to be taught, not paying to google everything instead. Go above her and make a complaint and see if she still doesn't feel like doing her job.

Good job by you for asking questions. The only dumb question is the one that isn't asked.

GTS, google that shit! Is that answer also acceptable for the medical field? Everyone uses webmd and believes they have a terminal illness anyway.

The exact same thing happened to me! But with my anatomy professor. I couldn't believe it! But it saddens me that apparently, it's not something uncommon...woe to all college students.

I'm hearing so many stories about bad college teachers! Mine are so nice/helpful o_o I would suggest telling her your paying $1000+ dollars for school, and you damn right expect her to help you! Or if you're shy, report her~ :p

I'm thinking your professor doesn't want to waste her time on a future English major.

if that doesn't scream 'lazy' I don't know what does.

Not even recommending Google would scream "lazy" even a bit louder. Now, you know.

Go to the dean. It's her job to help you. In my Chem pre-lab though we were told to do the same thing. Its because we aren't really learning about it until we get there and it's just an opportunity for us to be somewhat familiar with it. I guess "reading over the textbooks" is a thing of the past! Good luck!
