Not only is Chetta unbelievably sleep-inducing, but he also had a nervous breakdown (tears and all) while reading a Dickinson poem in class. “I’m sorry, but it reminds me of my past.” Easily the most awkward moment I experienced in a classroom.

Not sure how to say this, because there really aren't words to describe a teacher like this. At the end of this semester, I'll really be lucky if I learn anything even remotely useful. Reads in class, doesn't stop to answer questions, doesn't write on board, doesn't seem interested in teaching.
