I agree with what you are saying HOWEVER..... MY POINT is he is the teacher and he deserves the curtesy from his students to do as he says in his class without argument. I said nothing about asking questions.... He does not mind if you ask questions. He only humiliates you if you allow yourself to be humilitated. He never humiliated me however, I gave the joking back to him just as much as he did to me. He has his ways and no one is going to change that now. Just be prepared if you go to his class.
