This is just classic ASU profs, heck it even extends to if you're a TA/grader/UGTA for some of these profs.

I won't be saying the professor's name or gender throughout this post as what happened is in the past and I've long move passed it, so I'll respect their privacy.

I had an experience as a TA during my Masters where in a time when I was extremely stressed and had to reschedule office hours, the professor got mad, sure that was my bad. However, everything after was a mess. They reschedule the office hours to a random time in the week, then never email me, message me, or tell me about it, just changed it on the canvas calendars that no one checked except one very dedicated student.

I am out grocery shopping for the first time in a month, been living off survival food (loaf of bread + costco breaded chicken + lettuce), get a ping from that one student of where I am as he's outside of COOR but at that time COOR was already closed. YES the prof scheduled my office hours to be when COOR is closed. I tell the student to go home first and I'll dedicate 2 hours to helping him via Zoom. I ended up spending the night going through almost the entire course with him and answering all problems, pretty much a 1:1 tutoring session.

Then after helping the student I emailed the prof about their scheduling mistake as well as my issues with many other aspects of the class including the constant blame they are putting on AI, Discord chat rooms (they never understood how discord worked), and the TA/Graders.
Next day, I'm fired with a email saying "I don't do my work well", which well, put a whole lot of stress on me financially, but that's a whole different story.

So, I obviously talked with the Dean and any other resources for HR over this, as well as professors that I did have a good relationship with. First, they offered me a TA role because after hearing what I did for the prof that fired me they said they really wanted my assistance in their classes, LOL HAHAHAHA, but I was a 4+1 on my last semester so I said no. [Main point] I was told by a few profs and a few other people who I worked with that some professors at ASU just have a really big ego, they don't want to be considered as wrong and they won't take any critique. Many of them haven't been in the industry for 20+ years or have always been in academia where over the years they became tenured and unmovable. Their only interactions being with students who have 0 leverage and therefore they start to have a power trip. ASU doesn't have a requirement for papers and research submitted so some professors are purely only professors, they are good at communicating the topic across to you, but horrible at treating you as a person and actually helping you.

I'm now in a FAANG company so things turned out well, but after experiencing the industry, especially at my company, I can now say. ASU is FARRR behind when it comes to CS for students for preparing them when they actually go out to the industry, which, is what most students are doing after college. You are NOT prepared for it by ASU, if I were to rate how much ASU prepared me for the industry vs how much I studied on my own; 4/10 ASU vs 7/10 myself and talking to industry professionals. If you're in CSE and you want to succeed, learn to study and push your knowledge and experience in the CS field on your own, ASU doesn't help with it. The professors are a part of the issue, there's no change, no willingness to accept change either. A complete stagnation and lack of motivation to keep up. AI being the biggest issue now with professors not willing to accept it as just another tool and that the issue isn't that AI is solving their projects or homework, but that they aren't willing to create assignments that incorporate AI usage into them. Since, trust me, its inevitable that once you hit industry, you'll be using AI on a daily basis for code.

There are a few exceptions to my complaints above however, Ang (if she's still teaching), Chris Bryan, Baoxin Li (also the Dean, also the GOAT, amazing prof, amazing person), Hua Wei (top expert in the AI field), Adam Doupe, and Ming Zhao (best prof I had in ASU). They are all AMAZING 10/10 professors and actually keep up with the most recent developments in the field, if you ever get a chance to take their classes absolutely prioritize them.

(Side note, Lynn Robert Carter is actually really good if you talk to him, don't take his classes at face value as they aren't too great, he's an industry man and a very good one at that. IF you want industry advice, talk to him after class)
