Wow! I have never had this experince with any of my professors. I think that lady has to bring her ego down a little and appreciate that she has a job!

hope you have a good semester!

Congrats on sticking up for yourself! Not that many students have the courage to do so and would rather "ride it out", so to speak. I had a professor who would belittle students on their essays. She had the nerve to write on someone's essay: "You shouldn't be an English major" or "Why are you studying English?" It was horrifying to see her address students that way. Luckily, she never said anything remotely close to that to me, but it was disheartening to see students who had seemingly decent papers be addressed that way. Too many professors have that self-entitled attitude, but I see it as a learning experience for how to NEVER address or act that way around people, let alone students.

I am glad to not be the only one that has noticed the condescending nature of some professors. I know personally that it is disheartening to have someone that is supposed to be incredible abuse her power and try to put one down. It is definitely something I will never forget but am proud to have overcome. It is great that you will not let her bully you! The worst that you can do is not stand up for yourself if things get out of hand. My advice is don't let her have any more power than she already has by ever feeling that as a student no one will be there for you. You have more power than you think. You can always report her bad behavior and make sure that no other students go through the same "rudeness."

I am not sure what else we can do to get better professors out there but I would like to keep faith and believe that there are many more out there that will really care about their work.

I completely understand what you are saying...some professors are like that, I have had my share of them...but then again, there are just some people who are plain rude.
What I did when I took a class with a really rude professor was just ignore him. I felt like I did not have the possition to do something about it (especiallyif they are tenured). But In my case by showing indifferance I feel the professor stopped at least being rude to me.

Hang in there girl...and don't let anyone bully or be rude to you. I hope she won't be with you.
Best of luck!!!
