> i really don't think your prof should have yelled at you. if he's upset that you're late, that's one thing, but i think his responsibility is only to tell you how it's going to affect your grade: nothing else.**Exactly. He has every right to be angry that I was late, but he should have left it at that. Like last semester, he sent me an email about being late to class. Among other things, it mentioned that coming in late is disruptive to the class, and not productive to my learning. It was a pretty mean email, but it was fair.

> i'm learning as i teach more (as a grad student) how subjective professors can be about their expectations. i try to be really clear with students about what the need to do to perform well and not to treat it (or take it) personally when they don't perform in some way.**It sounds like you're a really good teacher. I find that the better professors are the ones who have a masters in education, or some other formal training in education.
