So I had this arguement with my community college proffesor?

More like the whole class. There was a certain fact I brought up that people don't know about and usually deny.The entier class and teacher accused me of being a liar. I found an article written by a proffesonel in the field proving my point and left it in the teacher's office. I discussed the topic with the teacher the next day in private. The teacher still denied it and obviously hadn't read the article, when i started proving him wrong he could this nervious look on his face and said he 'had to go'. I will not mention what I was talking about because statisically speaking if an entire class and a teacher won't accept it a random person online won't either. What do you think I should do? Show him directly in the article why it was wrong? Rent a book at the library to show him proof? I feel like he isn't qualified to teach even the subject he denies is only slightly related to his class.

your paper is your proof make copies for him and the whole class.
Reply:If you know you are correct, any victory of sorts would only be symbolic. I hope you presented your case more eloquently than this question. Someone who professes to be accurate diminishes his opinion with poor spelling. I doubt you want to hear this because you seem pretty indignant.





My advice is to drop it. You've done what you can. Keep the article on your person so that if anyone in class brings the topic up again, you can show them your proof.





Some people are just close-minded and arrogant. You can't change them. You'll upset yourself more than it's worth.
Reply:You showed up the professor! Good luck in the real world if you do that in and on a job. Protocol says...should have made your point, within the argument; keep quiet. Later 'share' the article with the professor.





Which is more important...being right on the spot...or proving your point quietly and allowing everyone to save face.





Showing people that have a stake in your future is not the wisest move on your part. Now damage control.





Logic never fails....good luck.
Reply:I am so very intrigued- please tell me what fact you pointed out! E-mail me, if you want. I would like to hear this information. I am curious!





Okay- have you done a great deal of research on this particular subject? Are you sure that your resources are reliable? Have you done your 'homework'- I mean, have you read extensively on this matter, and made sure that your 'findings' are correct?





Honestly, I wouldn't push the truth on anyone. It sounds like your classmates and your professor are in denial. But you know the truth, and so hold on to it. Knowledge is power!!!!





I wouldn't present any further information to support your own conclusions. You have the advantage, if your findings are, in fact, correct. Everyone else will be left in the dark. You'll leave them in the dust.





You could even use that info and write a book about it. This finding has potential value.





I would just keep it to myself. I know that it may be important to you- become an expert on the subject, so that you will win any future debates with people.





Good luck!!!!
Reply:Drop it.You have spent to much energy on this already. For your own knowledge you should verify the article with supporting evidence.
Reply:Stick to your point of you. Document your argument by showing him the book. It doesn't matter if he accepts or rejects it. You need not be shaken. That is how scholars worked. Stand with your principle. Sir Francis Bacon, Alexander Pope and other known scholars did just the same thing you did. They didn't get immediate response but years after. Think of how your professor will save his face if he tries to admit his mistake in front of you and the whole class. He is still your mentor and you are his protegee. Learning doesn't always come from other people's approval but from research and self evaluation. Do more than just one research and you will be amazed how far you have gone with your learning. Congratulations to your love for learning.
Reply:I don't like it when my students show me up BUT I always admit that I am wrong to the entrie class when someone proves me wrong. However you can't go by be as all my students have college diplomas and I teach highly technical subjects. So I'm a special case
Reply:Post the paper on the classroom door and highlight the fact....providing the resource is valid and unbiased.





But you need to make sure you are respectful or not. This guy has your grade in his hands and unlike high school, you can't just go whine about your grade. The professor has a lot more power over it.





But I would be interested in the fact and a resource.
