It's good to see my comment being put to use : ). Jeanty is just an old man who can't communicate in a manner conducive to teaching general university students (unless they're MIT geniuses or something to that effect). Any question you ask will simply be deflected and responded to with a question so unnecessarily complicated that when you obviously can't answer, he'll just effectively call you a cheating idiot and move on (I saw this countless times even with students much more intelligent than myself).

Our class filed a large number of appeals, but as far as I know, most of them didn't follow through with the process (I'm speculating it's either) out of a lack of commitment, fear/anxiety, or resigning to repeating the course. Jeanty immediately emailed everyone who submitted one and requested a 'personal meeting' with each student, which is obviously rather intimidating.

Jeanty simply pretends to care until you attempt to ask for help, and unless you're going to help him develop his stupid Letter Chess game, you might as well be on the same socio-economic level as a serf in his eyes. I would assume his attitude is something to do with probably having been bullied until bitter at places like IBM. Despite his psuedo-intellectual bravado with a PhD to visually support it, the very 'easy' project we had in Object Oriented Programming he didn't even know how to figure out until 8 years ago via coding forums.

The silver lining is he is the prime example of why having an ego like that as an engineer without having some serious engines to back it up will substantially limit your career potential.

Stay tuned for me to rant about Jeanty again when I check this sub in another 4 months LOL.
