We have seen and will continue to see lecturers who act as though they’ve been sent to the classrooms to make life more difficult for students.

Amongst such group of lecturers is the sadist lecturer. By ‘sadist’ I am referring to someone who never looks happy and enjoys being cruel to students. They seem to take pleasure in seeing students fail. They’ll usually set their exam questions as though to fail students. They seem to hate it when a student performs well in their class.

Recently, a friend asked for my advice on how to survive the tyranny of such a lecturer since he had one. I thought for a while and cranked up these few lines:

A. As much as it depends on you, avoid them totally:
The best thing to do as it concerns lecturers who act as though to frustrate students will be to avoid them by not registering their courses; but that isn’t possible if the courses aren’t elective courses in which case the only solution you should seek for is how to successfully survive their reign.

B. Be humble and shelve your 'guruness':
If you must register their course, then I advise you stay humble in class and never show yourself. Such lecturers are not impressed by gurus who love to show themselves by asking questions in every class.

C. Make up your mind to never miss their class:
They love to give unannounced CA Tests especially when they notice a drop in attendance. After all they’ll love to see massive failure.

D. Give their courses more study time:
Their exam questions are usually very difficult and will require intense understanding of every topic to be able to even score a ‘B’, plus they know how to sadistically set difficult questions.


Those were the advice I came up with but I wish to have more so, kindly share your advice or tip. How should students cope successfully with sadist lecturers?
