There is a "neither ... nor" construction in English, it can be used in such sentence:
"They have neither time nor money for doing it"
In your case it is quite difficult to understand without the context whether the author made it on purpose or it's a kind of mistake.
to do so=to behave that way=to act like that

Nor is a negative that comes after another thing that is negative.
She won't get up, nor has she said a word all night.
Your teacher said something before that sentence that was negative. She then was adding another negative.
