If it makes you feel better, back in ancient times, a prof I took a math class from in graduate school was taunted by students from a different school who needed his class as a prerequisite. They mocked his name. He was not one to be mocked.
One day, when those students skipped class, he handed out a special paper and instructed the in-class students that if they told anyone about it, he would haunt them in the afterlife.
When the final exam came around, he announced that whatever grade you got on the final would heavily impact your final grade.
One of the five questions was about that paper.
People don't usually get grades that low. There was an A+. Then there was a B- (me, who also missed that class). Then it got ugly.
Do not mock, taunt, or call the prof he's a shill for big trig. 🤣
