Seriously? D-bag.

On the topic of d-bags, I'd like to throw in two profs: Martin Mintchev and Apostolos Kantzas. Mintchev is one of your stereotypical hardass profs. I'll admit, I'm not an electrical engineer myself, but I walked into one of his lectures and wanted to ask a question, but fumbled it a bit with his death stare on me. His response? "I'm offended. Please shut up or leave the room". He's good at making you remember stuff (I still remember what he was teaching in the lectures I walked in on and how to apply it despite it not being my major), but he's so unpersonable that it's half taken back because when he talks (and expresses a great deal of arrogance and intimidation) or looks at you (and probably is the only person IMO who intimidates you more than Regehr's stare of death), EVERYBODY in the class simultaneously browns their pants.
Kantzas is a much more straight forward example. He just doesn't care and hands you problems with solutions and no explanation to the solution. It's so bad that he doesn't even write the midterms (gets his TAs to do it)...then recycles them for the final (and completely forgot that he did).
