And the Damned: Dartmouth's Worst ProfessorsBrenda Silver Professor Silver is a prominent subscriber to the growing trend in English literature, feminist criticism. This 'new scholarship' essentially believes that anything longer than it is round must be a phallus. If you enjoy listening to the classics of Western Culture being destroyed by feminist deconstruction, then you will love her lectures.
Professor Frankenberry teaches Religion 13, 'Women and Religion: New Explorations.' Some of the texts are entitled Sexism and God-Talk: Toward a Feminist Theology, and Gyn/Ecology: The Metaethics of Radical Feminism. Frankenberry describes the course as 'the antidote to the white male patriarchal traditions' that the rest of the religion department teaches.
Marysa Navarro was featured in the very first issue of The Dartmouth Review — over sixteen years ago. She is still causing problems on the Dartmouth campus today. She is perhaps the most notorious biased grader in Dartmouth's history and a feminist reactionary to the bone. Avoid her.
Superlatives, such as 'Worst Professor at Dartmouth,' should be used as seldom as possible. However, in Lynda Boose's case, it works fairly well. Nothing good could possibly be said about this lady. She once had her English 5 class sits through more than four weeks of soap operas in place of class lectures. She frequently cancels class with little warning. She once missed class for a whole week because of a toothache. If you can, avoid the nutty professor if at all possible.
Nelson teaches American Political history, but it would be more honest to say that he teaches the history of American race relations, since he sees all politics through the lens of racial tension. According to one black student, Nelson epitomizes the 'guilty white man syndrome.'
Professor King's class, 'Deviance and Social Control,' is famous on campus because students are required to perform deviant actions for credit. King imposes her own 'social control' over students by imposing a rather arbitrary grading system. She also heads up the academically rigorous seminar entitled, 'The Sociology of Star Trek.' Anyone desiring something approaching an education should avoid this class. |
