If I were you I would definitely post some feedback on ratemyprofessor, so others know to avoid his course. And perhaps send a letter to someone higher up at TESC expressing your displeasure with this professor.I definitely posted on ratemyprofessor! Who do you think I should contact at TESC?

Not to beat a dead horse but... TESC mentors are the professor world equivalent of flipping burgers on the weekend for some extra cash. Most of them don't even list TESC as an employer on facebook or linkedin.
I hope the January term is different because I have a course with an amazing professor and in another course the mentor is already very active on the Introduction forum so that bodes well. We'll see. :/

I took 9 classes with TESC and I only ended up with 1 "burger flipper" who should have been on "fries" instead, because it seemed like he couldn't even handle burger duty. This was a horrible experience and it was my Capstone of all classes...Yes, apparently most TESC professors also have jobs at other schools. So I guess their TESC job isn't their main priority.
