Pushing back on mediocre professors
- jonafato 16y agoI can't agree with this more. The best courses I have taken didn't have a textbook. If I don't struggle at least through some of a course, I'm probably not learning anything. Part of this seems to be that (in my experience) few people are allowed to fail a course. People who both don't understand the material and slack off are just pushed through with the minimum passing grade, dumbing down more advanced courses down the road.
