As some know, I am in a 20th Century Japan class with an old man for a teacher. I don't mind old people if they know what they're doing. For the past five classes he has been humiliating me in class. A few times it was because I didn't know the answer and flat out said I couldn't remember a thing of the book. He'd ask "Did you even bother to read?" and I answered truthfully that I had read it. The one day he asked if I tried taking notes; I have it doesn't work.

The class today was just overly upsetting. He humiliated me twice in one class. First was over emails. He had saved the files as a "27-file" which didn't open with anything. I told him and he belittled me in the email telling me "Go to DOCUMENTS and open it." I told him in the first email that it wouldn't open, save, or do a thing. The second email I told him I had. So he sent me the assignment page even though I told him I needed the paper on the midterm he said had the questions and how he wants the footnotes. I logged off the email by 9. Today he asked "Why didn't you respond promptly to my email? I responded promptly to you." Then about a half hour later, he was telling people to go to some page in the book. I didn't have the book with me, or really anything as I had worked 8-12, scarfed down a lunch and went to class; it had been left at home. When he saw I wasn't flipping through the book looking he called me specifically asking "Where is your book?" I told him I had left it home in the rush of trying to get to work. He just sighed and didn't call on me again but it felt like he was staring at me in a belittling glare.

What should I do? I thought of going to the dept head to file a complaint. We ended up talking about America. . . for over a half hour in the class.
