I don't understand a word my professor is saying

Well played.

Indeed sir, well played. You earned my respect!

I shall if I'm failing the class so I can get my grade bumped. its the perfect plan. but I shall probably sail through this with straight B+'s like a true average student.

I was thinking about speaking chopneeze :D

If you can't understand the teacher, it's not "dropping out like a wuss" it's paying somebody who can't do their job. The more students who drop a teacher's class, the worse the teacher looks. And if it's before the drop deadline, dropping a class doesn't effect your GPA and you can add into another Math class by a different teacher.

Continuing to attend his class is like paying somebody to clean your bathroom when all they do is piss all over everything, your bathroom might be clean, but it smells like piss and you never want to go in there.

Edit: and before you give me that whole "well all the other classes are full" line, crash classes. You said the semester started last tuesday, people will drop from classes and spots will open. If you can show the teacher that you are willing to put in the work, they'll add you (if they don't already have a wait-list a mile long)

Nevermind

Yea, truck through it if you can, but talk to other students and see if you can get a study group going. As I mentioned in my edit, can pretty much guarantee other students are having trouble.

thought the same lol

a professor is being invited to a university mostly because he is well known for its knowledge and not fluent english. Students have to live with it. Professors that don't speak English well often offer printed lectures to read. Generally, a student should learn more than he/she gets in class by self-studying. Every professor says something about the literature that is relevant of the course - go to the library and read a little.

Also, did you mention the key phrase in the OP? "It's not like I'm paying attention anyways". That's all I needed to see. I also see a lot of students that do not pay attention at all, reading magazines, playing their cellphones or even listening music and then complaining at the end of the course that the lecturer was talking too quiet. Or coming up with some similar shit.

read my posts above. The professor does not owe you a shit. I also had a lot of professors as a student that did not speak German well, and still took from them a lot of useful knowledge. Ask your prof for a printed version of his lecture material if he didn't offer any yet and read them while he's speaking, or wait for the same course in the next semester. If you WANT to pass the course, you will make it.

I still remember the professor from Harvard that teached several courses when I was studying. He barely spoke German, often mixed up german words with english or even switched to english when he didn't find a word in german and pronounced german words with terrific english accent which was horrible because some german words are written similar in english but have different meaning (like "mass" - measure in german), so this was awful. Still, he's the only one person in my life that made me understand the most important topics in topology and differential geometry, so I'm happy I attended that class after all.
