The professor who used words like ‘Rubbish’ and ‘Bullshit’ in the presence of kids and adults showed crude manners and shared discouraging remarks throughout the lecture. While the majority might have been able to shrug off the nonsense criticism. One student shared what it feels like to attend lectures from such big names in hopes of learning something from them.
Here are some of the responses from the public regarding the student’s reaction to the lecture.
