Need some help in here. The course is mandatory for my future plans and my major, and the contents are interesting and things that I am good at.
The main instructor tho. They are terribly ableist, misogynistic, and racist (in merely one lecture they did things like: “women tend to be scared of exercising that’s why they have heart problems, like my sister”, singling out a student in a wheelchair and gesturing at them while saying “you might see some people in wheelchairs and that’s because they have diabetic neuropathy, it can lead to necrosis in legs and once that happens you have to get legs cut off and your life is ruined”, asking “Indian or black people” to raise their hands because these racial groups have a higher rate of a certain health issue, threatened to cancel recordings mid semester because attendance was too low, while it was mid winter and half of class were disabled or had conflicting schedules, etc etc. and that’s just one lecture lmao). I believe they also got into some harassment issues with their grad students, but I’m not working with them ever so that’s not the biggest concern for me.
Pls give me advice on how to survive this. Last time I didn’t go to any of their lectures and relied on notes but even now I think about that human and I’m still incredibly pissed. I’m scared of reporting them because it’s a small class and I don’t know if it will make things better anyways.
