One of my lecturers was overlyliberal I don ' t mind where people lie politically as long as it doesn ' t interfere with their jobs . But this bitch would dissect what you said in front of her , and imply that you were saying something else and had ill intentions i . e . you can ' t say spokesman or spokeswoman until you know what gender the person is . Doing so made you somehow straightup transphobic in her terms . Just an example of many . She was just difficult , passiveaggressive and did not appreciate anyone having a laugh during lecture or tutorial breaks the breaks , not in anyway disrupting her teaching . We once watched this old horror film with the most outofplace chirpy music , and some of us found it a little funny because it was so outofplace . The next screening , she handed out flyers dictating what and what is not acceptable in her screenings . Half the time , she put the film on and left us in the lecture room . I had her as my thesisdissertation supervisor last year she could not recommend any theorists to me , tore apart what I was going to study and did not offer any constructive criticism , or even point me in a direction . She just told me after she ripped into my proposal that I was either doing too much or not enough , and she wouldn ' t know until after I had done my literature review . which I wouldn ' t get back until January her estimate , the handin date was the end of November . So if it wasn ' t enough , I ' d have to redo my entire thesis or dissertation . I was wanting to study nature in film . so to her credit she did suggest I maybe study ' maybe a poem or something '. fair enough . but nature in poetry ? So . romanticism ? A vast majority of the romantic poetry movement included elements of nature . She was hellish . She just wasn ' t a nice or cooperative person .
