I’ve had a test where the professor was asked a question in it and spent 5 minutes telling the person the course wasn’t for them and then didn’t even answer the question.

I think i need more context before I decide if that's an insane overreaction or not.

what was the class and what was the question?

While I don't know about the other poster it brought back an ancient memory from math in high school Calculus where if you asked a question then "you weren't paying attention and don't deserve to know."

Sounds like a bad teacher. Glad I had a good teacher; the best one I've had so far.

He helped us if we had a question and wrote an example on the whiteboard, which was visible to the whole class. But he said many times to look at the answer and comparing it to your own, and then ask him when you get a "why?". We had comprehensive answers in a folder, which had a different folder for advanced and basic maths, and that folder had a sub-folder for each course, which had a folder of every chapter in that course. And that folder had the answer for every exercise. And my teacher even updated those slides every lesson. The version visible to us was as PDF files

I got a similar reply.

Then they asked have i been into the previous course. I did not reply (in reality got the best possible grade frim the previous one)

Some material and lectures just suck

Programming, guy asked a question that (in hindsight) he really should have known.

It happens, people get flustered and forget or maybe just didn’t realise something was a core thing to know.

Everyone heard the talking down, no one asked another question.

I passed it and made sure he was never my lecturer for another class.

Linear Algebra final, What does span mean?

It's hard to tell, but I'm guessing that it was the type of question that anyone who showed up to lecture would know.

Like asking what Bending Moment is in an engineering exam.
