Angela,
I completely understand. The college I went to had lots of problems with professors who had tenure and were good at researching and getting money for the university, but had no teaching/student skills whatsoever. To top it off no one cares!! It is never about teaching the students well it is about hiring and giving tenure to people who will make the most money for the school as possible.
We actually had a rally my sophmore year because the university fired a professor because they would not give him tenure. The reason: because he was a physics professor who was exceptional at teaching, but who wanted to focus on students and not money. The school did not like that...so they let him go.
Your professor is a jerk and def should be locked up in a laboratory someplace instead of trying to teach.
