By saying students are stupid and don’t answer questions properly, he lost his case. Up until that point, I was in agreement.

If he hates engaging with students so much, I have to wonder why he became a professor in the first place.

How can Rutgers retain this person? Maybe his undergraduates are not as illiterate as he professes. I offer rather, they are stunned by such an abrasive, hostile attitude. His retention besmirches the profession as a whole. It is truly unbelievable that Rutgers does not fire him, or that the AAUP does not revoke his membership. Regardless of the fact this may have been said in jest (I wish to give Prof. Popper the benefit of the doubt) it is offensive on so many levels. Prof. Popper states there are students that should not be attending universities, his comments prove that there are also professors that should rethink their career paths.

Most likely has tenure.

Love the Professor Strikes Back addition to the site. And Prof Popper seems like a blast!

Lol. This guy’s freaking hillarious. How can you not get a kick out of grumpy professors? I suspect that 15 minutes into his class I’d be in tears after listening to him lambaste some ignorant kid. To other students I say, if you’re not ready to be verbally abused by a professor, then you’re not ready to be out in the real world where life treats you like crap. So suck it up and don’t be such wimps.

Could you be more specific? Comment is too general to be of any help.

Hey, lighten up guys. You need a sense of humour. The man is funny as hell.

Students: It’s fine for you to comment on his teaching in a derogatory way, but it’s not fine for the professor to respond in kind? This is a fun site. You can say what you want about his teaching, and he can say what he wants about you smelling and about your paltry education. This guy is obviously a great teacher, because he can put on a very cogent, entertaining show at the drop of a hat (45 minutes with MTVu). If you can’t follow it and can’t see his humor, then maybe some of his criticisms about you are more accurate than you care to admit.
Rutgers students should be grateful to have the opportunity to study at your feet, sir. You go, Prof. Popper!

I understand some points he made. I also understand that a lot of what he said was in jest. (Too funny: who is responsible for Croc shoes!) However, he is exactly the kind of professor I try and avoid. There is a reason why I chose NOT to go to Rutgers. I chose a school where the professors actually give a f*** about the students, their learning, and do not automatically assume that we are idiots w/ a 5th grade education.

Rate your professors dot com responsible for Croc shoes? Dear sir, that goes too far!
Overall, this guy is funny, but his insults are a bit severe if he is indeed making them not out of jest. If you don’t like working with students that much, then you honestly don’t have to do it. You have the PhD, go find another job. We do not yet have a degree so we have to put up with you guys in order to get one… The same is not true in reverse.
Maybe find a job in comedy? “They are, in the war for knowledge, confirmed conscientious objectors.” Adorable.

Quite ironic that a public policy professor would fill his rebuttals with ad-homonym remarks. Goes to show the trivial nature of this man’s status at Rutgers among the student population.
