Local Enthusiastic Professor Needs to Take It Down a Couple Notches

By Gary Pooper

 

“Dude, I don’t care.” Those 4 words every student dreams of one day saying to their professor, but none have the courage to. In the past few years, no other Rutgers Professor has better represented this idea than Sociology professor Sarah Bumblez. Professor Bumblez has become an infamous figure in the undergraduate community for her stream of consciousness style of teaching. Nothing is off-topic in her class, whether it be her romantic life, her favorite foods to have on her cheat day, or the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. “You know, I just think it’s so important now more than ever that professors try to connect with their students” Bumblez said to a passing stranger. 

Despite her insistence on personal interaction with her students, they have not shown the same level of enthusiasm that she has. “I already know Sociology is a bullshit major, you don’t have to rub in by talking about astrology and retrograding,” said a student who was NOT me. No one on The Medium’s team personally reached out to Professor Bumblez for her comments, mostly because none of us want to hear from her anymore than we have to. It appears that Bumblez’ reign of terror will continue well into the end of Zoom University.

Professor, My Name is Not Colleen

Not by Colleen

Ok Professor, I get that it’s only the third week of school, but my name is not Colleen. If you didn’t take attendance every day and make us do a humiliating ice breaker the first day of class where we had to
share our childhood nicknames, I may have looked past this. But here we are, in a fifteen-person seminar on Victorian literature discussing the role of women in this time and I can’t help but find it a little ironic. I am literally the only girl in this class and your actions are leading me to believe that you haven’t applied what we talk about to your actual life.
