... so this is a contrarian view against a USNA English Literature professor. Just like anywhere else in groups/organizations, there's always that one: toxic, lord of chaos, hostile, dominant, authoritarian, immoral, unethical, and borderline conduct unbecoming. During Plebe year, DS started with 3.21 GPA, then it decreased to 2.7 GPA. I asked him about the drop. Before he could answer, I noticed that determined Mid stare and his voice was cold and resolute. Got it. I backed off. This professor gave DS a "D-" while he was making "As" in Calculus and Physics. He did not see eye to eye with this individual. A similar post from a class of 2025 mentioned this professor. I think this professor was fired eventually. Moving forward, lesson learned for DS is he has to adjust about how to deal effectively with different leadership styles however TOXIC and borderline conduct unbecoming.
