COLLEGE PROFESSOR FAILS ENTIRE CLASS FOR BEING OUT OF CONTROL

A Texas A&M Galveston professor says he hit a “breaking point” and failed an entire class of students in his management course. In an email sent to students in his Strategic Management class, Professor Irwin Horwitz called his class a disgrace to the school and said “it became apparent they couldn’t do some of the most simple and basic things they should have been able to do.” Horwitz said a semester of backstabbing, lying, cheating and disrespect has caused him to fail everyone in the class and that he will no longer be teaching the course.
Here is part of his email:
“Since teaching this course, I have caught and seen cheating, been told to “chill out,” “get out of my space,” “go back and teach,” [been] called a “moron” to my face, [had] one student cheat by signing in for another, one student not showing up but claiming they did, listened to many hurtful and untrue rumors about myself and others, been caught between fights between students. …
None of you, in my opinion, given the behavior in this class, deserve to pass, or graduate to become an Aggie, as you do not in any way embody the honor that the university holds graduates should have within their personal character. It is thus for these reasons why I am officially walking away from this course. I am frankly and completely disgusted. You all lack the honor and maturity to live up to the standards that Texas A&M holds, and the competence and/or desire to do the quality work necessary to pass the course just on a grade level. … I will no longer be teaching the course, and all are being awarded a failing grade.”
The university’s vice president of academic affairs, Dr. Patrick Louchouarn, said that while administrators respect Horwitz, his failing grades won’t be upheld. “The only reason a student would fail is because he or she has not performed the expectations for that particular class.” School officials say the department head will temporarily replace Horwitz as the course’s instructor until the end of the semester.
* Then there was the time the whole class showed up naked for the final and said they had forgotten to come to class all semester.
* Get this guy a job in the drama department.
* It doesn’t look good when you’re teaching Strategic Management and you can’t even manage the students.
* “Backstabbing, lying, cheating and disrespect”? Sounds like they were well on their way to becoming ideal managers.
* So you’re saying Johnny Manziel was one of the stable students at Texas A&M?
* He doesn’t seem to realize that if the students aren’t learning, it’s on him.
* He was going to grade on a curve but it came in as a flat line.
* So what if they aren’t prepared to enter the workforce. There aren’t any jobs out there anyway.
