I had a professor for a class. He is 40 years older than me and told me he loved me in an e-mail.

On the very first day, he told everyone in the class, "I am against professors dating students. It is not right and should not be tolerated."

Even while I was his student, I already felt that something was not right. He cursed a lot. Every other word he said was a curse word. He never really taught us anything. He showed movies and shows in class, like South Park. He told offensive racist and sexual jokes. He would e-mail us every week from his personal e-mail. He never used his university e-mail. He gave students his home phone number and home address so that they could "drop by and turn in papers."

His class was so easy. We didn't have to read any English literature books, except a fiction book that was written by him, which was easy. We didn't have to present or memorize anything, or had any tests. We just wrote essays that were memoirs about our personal lives. We didn't have to cite anything or include quotes.

The essays he had us write were about our personal lives. Like, "Write about your first time. It could be any first time for anything. First sex. First kiss." Or "Write about your first love or any hardship you faced in romance or friendships."

That makes me wonder. On the first day, he said he was against "professors dating students"? Did he actually mean current students, not former students? Did he go after students after they graduate so he wouldn't get in trouble? Did he tell us this so that we could all trust him?

He told me, "You are one of the most beautiful, smartest persons I have ever met. I like the way you write and we have an intense connection compared to my other students because of your deep intelligence. Nobody writes as good as you."

How can he say that I am intelligent when his class was so easy? Is he trying to make me feel special and the only one? Is this something that he told every female student?

Why was he nosy and wanted to dig into our personal lives? What is he teaching, anyway? Nut job studies?
