I did something today I've never done before. After class, I had a question about something I wasn't quite sure about, so I went to my professors office during his office hours.
I sort of understood what he was asking, but wasn't completely sure. I pulled out my outline and pointed to the area I was confused about and he refused to help. His response? "I'm not going over that. I spec you to already know this from the last test."
Ok. I get it. I don't know it and probably should, but REALLY?! You're going to turn down a student who is eager to learn?
Yeah, that's going to make me want to attend your class and participate!
Not.

complain to the chair of his dept. If he is chair, complain to the dean. That is unacceptable.
If your university is anything like mine, towards the end of the semester, there is an evaluation that you do of your teachers. If I were you, I would roast him over that. Big time.... Or, if he has a supervisor, you could go see him and explain to him what happened.
What a total asshat! You should absolutely complain to the department chair.
wow. are you kidding me? sounds like an excellent opportunity for a letter.
sheesh.
(also, an aside...I really can't wait to meet you in person in August. It's been a long time coming.)
