How to avoid a an instructor I had previously in college?

How to avoid an instructor I had previously in college? Here is the problem, I took a class I barely passed during the Winter semester in college, the instructor I thought was going to be alright. In the middle towards the end, I started noticing things I hadn’t noticed before which was the fact that I was a procrastinator, and didn’t turn in a few assignments. I knew that was my mistake since I knew there was something I didn’t like about her. I don’t know why I don’t like her too well, but, I know it isn’t because of the work, I could sense something about her that didn’t set well with me. There was one day where I asked her if I could turn some assignments in towards the end since it took me a bit longer to understand them. She said, “You should’ve prepared when they were due!” Then she said some other nasty things I didn’t like. I totally despise this lady since she works in the Accademic Support Center at the college in the writing part. Today, I was working with someone on an assignment and we asked the instructor where to find another instructor for one of my online classes. The instructor I despise said, “You need to go into your Midweb!” “I Can’t do it!” “You have too!” Then the instructor I was working with today, was just asking the former one I had a simple question. Then the other person also told me “Do you have your sylibuss?” I said yeah. She said, “Then you need to look at that since it has the office hours” I wasn’t happy to face her today. Luckily, I don’t have her for any classes. Anyway, I went long. My point to the question, should I just tell my new instructor about her? or not. I really don’t feel right when I run into my previous instructor. I did tell a couple people which were my counselor, and another instructor I had for another class. Oh, to make my previous statement clear, the former instructor in today, was refering to the Mid Michigan Community college online system where I have my courses. I was never open with this person. I couldn’t tell her my problems since I save those for my closest friends. Sorry I went long but, I can’t seem to avoid her. I’ll be in the Accademic Support Center on Monday working with the new person on my assignments. I wish this former instructor could work at a different college. I wrote all this out since I don’t feel right telling anyone I’m working with about her. But, should I tell anyway?

Answer #1

I don’t think anything positive can be gained by telling / keeping this alive - be thankful she’s not your instructor anymore - move on, avoid same…Take care !!

Answer #2

go up to this teacher you dispise, tell her you think she treated you in a horrible manner, why, and tell her you hope that your paths do not cross again.

she’ll know you have a backbone, and she’ll probably try to stay away from you.

problem solved.
