My developmental psychology teacher gives us all of her exams upfront to review and we are to find the answers in the textbook and use that as a study guide. We are not allowed to take the exam from the room however. Anyway, we got the results from our first exam back today and 4 people got a 93% (which btw, isn't an "A" in this class) 2 people got a 90% and I don't recall the other scores, but the lowest grade was a 70%. Well, she told us that perhaps we all have low self-esteem, are not motivated or have some PSYCHOLOGICAL PROBLEMS because we did not all get "A's". Can you believe this?!!
I was happy with my 90% because I work 40 hours a week, volunteer 4 hours a week, and am also taking A&P I with this course. Not to mention I like to think I have some semblance of a life outside of dev. pysch. This teacher pretty much berates us constantly and she swears all the time--I am not a prude but I don't believe swearing belongs in the classroom.
Basically, I have just been sitting back silently. I can't drop the class because then I won't be able to start clinicals in the fall and I don't want to make waves with administration. Has anyone else had a terrible teacher before?

If teachers implement their rules with equal treatment for all, the only room for discussion in such meetings is over the rules themselves.
