academic terrorist

One who runs academic courses and takes pleasure in the failings of their student cohort. An academic terrorist assigns material they know the students cannot pass without significant stress. Attempts to reason with an academic terrorist results in them refusing to change material and even doubling down on their stance.
The professor is writing the exam with material we haven't learned yet. They're such an academic terrorist.
