I find the professor's attitude quite puzzling. You often learn best when you have made a mistake, and then figure it out ("expectation failure"). Why not take advantage of that? I think bugs are quite useful as "teachers", as I discussed in "4 Reasons Why Bugs Are Good For You" http://henrikwarne.com/2012/10/21/4-reasons-why-bugs-are-good-for-you/ http://henrikwarne.com/2012/10/21/4-reasons-why-bugs-are-goo...

- ZenoArrow 13y agohenrik_w, the professor's attitude is not puzzling once you consider this... the teacher in question intentionally wants to make the students struggle, because it validates their own achievements. Then you will see that it's not about the teacher doing the most to help the student succeed, it's all about the teacher's ego. Of course such an attitude is not one worth promoting, but everything in the article suggests this is what we're seeing.
