Is it rude for a tutor to call a student gullible and eccentric? (1 Viewer)

Is that rude or not? My tutor said I was gullible and eccentric.

i dont think so. take gullible as innocent and eccentric as 'has unique personality' and those are compliments really.

plus i always call my lecturers all sorts of things anyway so dont take it too seriously if i were you.

Eccentric people are interesting people.

Eccentric i'd take a compliment, gullible as a slight insult because they're suggesting that i'm easy to fool but meh don't take it seriously

Depends on situation and the way he said. But if you don't like that, just revenge in the evaluation form by the end of the semester, easy

Not 4 all subjects m8.
To fully understand/assess anything one said, we must regard the context.

some tutors are a-holes, just ignore them, theres a high chance you wont have them next semester anyway

Doesn't that depend on if you're gullible and eccentric?

I'm not offended, and not surprised, because other people have said it too. No one has ever said it in an insulting way though, including the tutor. I just wanted to see what you thought.

I guess I am slightly eccentric, and pretty gullible.

what an odd thing to say, so what was the context ?

to me gullible and eccentric would mean someone was saying i was dumb and weird :|
