> University professors are among the first to say "do as I say" without any motivation (and no, they do not "want you to challenge them"; they just tend to be very narcissistic). The first thing I had to unlearn from college is repeating prefabricated opinions (which I had to do to get acceptable grades). This is so vague. What kinds of "opinions" are we talking about? Your opinion on what topics the professor should teach or whether he should assign homework? Yeah, no, just sit down and learn the curriculum the way they've designed it. When you graduate and start teaching, then you can be a rebel and do everything your own way and prove to everyone they're doing it wrong and you're doing it right. Your opinion on whether you should use method 1 or method 2 on your homework? Well if they're telling you to use method 1, it's because they're teaching it and want to make sure you learn it. Even if it's painful. Don't forget the reason you're there is for the faculty to challenge you, not the other way around. Their job is still to teach you the way they know best. If you don't care for that and want to teach yourself, then indeed, don't go to college.
