Can we just talk about horrible professors?

This is more or less a rant.

I have a professor. He is the living embodiment of what a horrible professors is.

He provides a rubric. He then grades outside the rubric. His instruction will say do X. He will then take points off for... doing X. Also if you do anything outside what is included in his rubric. He will take points off. So there is no way to realistically to justify "it should have been assumed"

He is rude and passive aggressive in response. Despite encouraging you to message him with concerns. He has changed the template for an assignment due three times(less than a week). When I asked if he was done. His response was "Just do the work" if you do not use his required template. You are subject to a 50% penalty.

He took points off a groupmates because he felt her part was not a fair division of labor. To ask him if we needed help in the future diving the projects. Asked him how he proposed splitting the final assignment to ensure no issues. Got a response of "It doesn't matter how to workload is divided. As it shows when someone doesn't pull their weight." He.. is not in our group chat...

Per his previous instructions. We where not allowed to divided up sections. Sections had to be singled authored. The group has 5 people. 5 sections in the project. Then he claims it wasn't a fair division of labor.

This list could go own.

I understand there isnt likely much I can do. Ive reached out to my insurance directly but they haven't responded.

My insurance limits PT appointment to 20 in a year.

There is nothing that states there is process or ability to petition for more.

We've been trying PT for something that was meant to be short term. Ive seen improvement with the range of motion. However the pain is still there. After MRI where completed. The things I have wrong with me have two solutions. Long-term PT to work on regaining the strength. With specialist exam every 6 weeks to ensure progress. Other option is multiple surgeries. Ideally, I would like to avoid surgery.

I'm not in a financial spot to pay $100+ a visit. So continuing care without insurance isn't optional.

So Im at a rock and hard place.

I understand their is very little likelihood anyone here knows of a solution.
