As an instructor, I take constructive criticism positive and negative well.
You have a job to do and you strive to do it well.   Anonymous teacher
evaluation forms identity is not revealed to the instructor.  But if you hand
write it, an instructor can figure out by comparing it with written exams,
home works etc.  But there is no excuse for an instructor in refusing to help
a student no matter the negative.  On the other hand, there is nothing wrong
with being nice to the instructor either.  Anger never solves a problem but
compounds it.  Most part time instructors are paid poorly and have very
little office space & time available outside of class.   Since you and the
instructor have gotten on the wrong foot here, it would seem your best bet on
this course is to hit the books hard.  Our list mates here have tremendous
experience in dealing with dp people.  Please take their advice and follow
them.
