This is my first semester at UNLV and this review is mainly based on my experience with Bob Ain, a math professor at UNLV.
I originally had Professor Choi as my math teacher but thought it was in my best interest to switch classes because there was a slight language barrier. I ended up switching into Bob Ain's college algebra class. During the second week of class he handed back an assignment and gave me an 8/10. After class I asked for an explanation and he said I should have written it in essay format. I then said you never specified the format and he said do your English teachers tell you the format they want it in. I said yes and he said that's bullshit and he told me to get out of his class multiple times. I could not believe the way he reacted to me and decided to speak with the associate math chair Malwane Ananda. He put blame on me for the altercation because I threw out the assignment on the way out of the classroom. This was completely irrelevant because this happened after he spoke to me in an unprofessional manner. After speaking with Malwane I felt like no one was on my side so I decided to let it go.
Weeks later he disrespected me again in front of the entire class. He was writing a problem on the overhead projector and no one could see it so I told him and then he called me a "smart ass". After this incident I could not let it go. I set up a meeting with the Associate Dean of Life Sciences Javier Rodriguez. I discussed my concerns with him at length and he seemed to take my experiences seriously but then never reached out to me weeks after we had spoken. He had told me he would call me or email me to confirm he had taken action even though he could not tell me exactly what type of action was taken. I decided to reach out to him and when he answered the phone he acted like he almost didn't remember me. I told him I was calling to see if action was taken and he said I told you I couldn't tell you. Then I told him what he said and he said he didn't say any of that. The fact that he couldn't even reach out to me showed his real lack of concern for the treatment I experienced. I will continue to fight this until I feel adequate action is taken. Bob is not only disrespectful and a terrible role model for students but his teaching methods are ineffective.
It is very unfortunate that the faculty that is supposed to stick up for students is doing the exact opposite.
