This was my economics course. The professor would come in, play the textbook manufacturer provided PowerPoint on the screen, and read the slides word for word with little to no elaboration. It was the most boring course I had ever taken.
Had perfect attendance and got 55% on my midterm.
Gave up, skipped almost all of my classes to instead just sit in the library and study on my own.
Got about 87% on my final exam.
Mandatory attendance is stupid, if you can pass the course you can pass the course.
a bunch of my uni courses were taught by TAs doing that same regurgitation.
my first semester transferred into a UNIVERSITY a animal physio course, was just the professor barely lecturing while most of the semester hes researching in a tropical place, and the TA barely did anything because she had her own MS research to do, so everyone was like confused the whole time he was in the class, what he wants to teach us, because he was 90% more concerned about his own research.
yep. I kept thinking in my first two years that things would change enormously when I reached the more rarefied advanced courses... nope. memorize the slides. see the prof once or twice from across an auditorium of 300+ people. :|
I'm a flight instructor. We get prosecuted if we're that bad at our jobs.
I feel like attendance is one of the most important traits for a pilot. These guys showing up and just sitting there doing not much for a class seems to resemble what pilots seem to do now mostly unless I'm mistaken. Chemist doesn't show up on time and leaves late, doesn't matter job done, no one should care. Pilot, people would probably be pissed if the pilot was late
