WATERLOO, ONT. — A university professor turned the tables on one of his students recently when faced with harsh criticism online.
The exchange happened on Reddit after the University of Waterloo student said his teacher was overrated.
He said computer science prof Dave Tompkins over-explained obvious things, made bad or inappropriate jokes, and was “legit addicted” to soft drinks.
Tompkins responded, saying he also thought he was overrated, admitting some of his lectures “suck,” and that he drinks too much Coke Zero, though he defended his jokes and teaching methods.
“All I can do is try to get better,” he said. “Constructive criticism helps, and there was some of that in your post, so thanks.”
