Texas A&M Professor Fails Entire Class

[TheGreatShowtime]

One college professor found his students so hopeless that he flunked them all and quit the course. In an email to his management class at Texas A&M Galveston, professor Irwin Horwitz came down hard.

"I am frankly and completely disgusted. You all lack the honor and maturity to live up to the standards that Texas A&M holds, and the competence and/or desire to do the quality work necessary to pass the course just on a grade level," he wrote, according to Inside Higher Ed. "I will no longer be teaching the course, and [you] all are being awarded a failing grade."

In the message, Horwitz said students had cheated, told him to "chill out," called him a "[expletive] moron" and spread false rumors about him online. He told KPRC news he even felt unsafe in the classroom at times, and had never thought so low of a class in his 20 years as a college professor.

"None of you, in my opinion, given the behavior in this class, deserve to pass, or graduate to become an Aggie, as you do not in any way embody the honor that the university holds graduates should have within their personal character," he wrote to the students.

Horwitz's online profile with Texas A&M shows he's taught dozens of courses for at least five universities since 1994 and has won recognition for both research and teaching. But scant student-published reviews of Horwitz are harsh.

"Nah bruh this guy is a straight clown," said one supposed student rating Horwitz's work with the University of Texas Health Science Center on the website RateMyTeachers.com. Another user of the webside Hallway.com called Horwitz "one of the least empathetic people I have ever had teach a class."

Horwitz told Inside Higher Ed that he had rarely failed students throughout his teaching career, but had never encountered a group as incompetent as his spring 2015 management course.

Univeristy officials told KPRC that the blanket failing grades will be reassessed and the department head will take over Horwitz's class for the remainder of the semester. Some students needed the required course to graduate with business degrees in May. But Horwitz alleged that his students remained too incompetent to deserve college degrees.

Dude could not sanction their buffoonery

Real world shyt. Prepping them for their impending demise if/once they enter the workforce.

I respect it

He's been teaching almost as long as most of them have been alive. I the man for sticking to his principles. Too many teachers let kids scrape by. I remember peer reviewing some work (even currently in my MBA actually ) and people get their tenses all wrong... they're their and there and too and to all messed up. If he saw that they were incompetent I'll let him cook

Epic Fail.

Two sides to every story. Dude was probably a dikkhead.

And i don't see how you flunk an ENTIRE CLASS. How big was this class? I understand if a few people aren't taking shyt seriously. i understand if the majority of people aren't taking shyt seriously. But i can't believe that he had a whole class of college students who refused to work.

It was more likely on principle than anything judging by overall lack of effort. It's a moral thing more than anything considering the grades still get reviewed by the officials in the school and the class will still finish with a different professor.

This makes more sense. So basically dude threw a hissy fit and took his ball and went home.

Lol. He should be more mature than that.

Sounds like he's on some beautiful mind. I think this will end worse for him than the students. At least a few kids in there will have rich alumni parents who not going to play that.
