Are college professors allowed to do this?
Which brings me to my question. He told us that anyone who made a D or F on the test would have to come to him to talk about the first test before we’d be able to take the second one. If we haven’t talked to him, we aren’t allowed to take the second test. Is he even allowed to do this?

Now I’m the kind of student that believes that in a class it should always be 50/50. The professor has an obligation to make sure that the students learn the class subject, but by the same token the student also has their own responsibility to study it too. But I never felt it was this way in her class, and it was instead like you mentioned above.
Well apparently a lot of the students who failed that class (and no doubt some students from her previous classes) had had enough and visited the Dean of Accounting there together. Her teaching matter was subsequently reviewed, and after everything was finalized she was “encouraged” to seek employment elsewhere. I heard she went to UT the next semester but lasted there only about a year. Last I checked she’s now teaching in Georgia.
Anyways the point is that yes, unfortunately professors are allowed to practically teach how they want (including yours) in their classrooms because teaching skills are practically non-regulated. But you as students have a right to ensure that their teaching skills are in conjunction with the students learning. And if you feel that is not happening, as in this case, you also have the right to let their superiors know about it because it will then hold them accountable for their actions (in my case to the point that the professor was encouraged to work elsewhere). Good luck with your schooling.
We told the Principal of the school and I think she told him something about it. So, I suggest you tell someone in a higher rank than he is that you have a feeling that he’s abusing his authority, and they’ll probably investigate it.
Good Luck!!
