She was a professor at my university and taught a half course every other semester. Every student I knew who took her class held a negative opinion of her afterwards. They would often describe her as arrogant, self-centered, and lacking any interest in actually teaching. She was often described as the worst professor they had by a mile.

I went to one of her speeches and she was by far the best orator I've ever seen. She could captivate a crowd before the second word had escaped her mouth. I'm convinced she was able to command her own reality distortion field.


I observed her delivery of a college graduation speech. It was underwhelming.
