Professor Loses It and Yells at Student During Class Will He Face Consequences?

Imagine being a university student, trying your best to adapt to online classes, and then having to deal with a professor who’s not just difficult, but downright terrifying. That’s the situation one 19-year-old German student found herself in when her professor went ballistic during a class presentation. The professor’s behavior was so erratic and frightening that it left the entire class shaken. Now, the student who witnessed the ordeal is torn between reporting the professor to his superiors or staying silent.
