Yes, we do. Largely, it is (esp. for lower level classes). The professors largely do not care about teaching -- they have research to do. The idea is that they typically point you to some materials, and they assume that smart people will figure it out. Don't get me wrong. The learning resources are phenomenal, and folks can and do learn a ton from their peers. That said, most of the teaching is awful. If someone wants to be taught well, don't go to an Ivy -- go to small liberal arts college (lots of good teachers at these schools).
