Did you really never have a terrible prof?

I had a calc prof in uni that literally just read his slides in a monotone voice. I had already taken a calc course that I could have used at a college so didn't even need the credit, but wanted to understand better. At the end of the course, my understanding was way down.

I'd say arguing that people are lazy for not using their textbooks and example questions is missing the mark entirely. The complaint is that profs do nothing.. you can buy a textbook and practice questions for a lot less than $27,000.

i had one that read them into a video and then charged us for the videos. and then canceled every class so he wouldn't have to deal with students.

So you took at course in calculus with bad lectures, read and worked through all the pages in the book/notes, did all the exercises but afterwards your understanding of calculus was worse. This is why I don't believe these stories.

I got one better. I had a marketing professor who just told stories about how Norway was different from the US.

I took detailed notes because we couldn't have laptops out and I had nothing better to do.

Exactly two sentences from all of her lectures applied to the exams. If she didn't take attendance there would have been no point in going to class.
