Math101 was the only paper I ever withdrew from. One lecturer was an Indian who barely spoke English, the other with a stutter who was constantly asked by fellow students to speak up. I later took a more complicated Mathematics paper, Math170, which I blazed through. It was simply because the lecturers were more engaged. They were far less 'experienced', but simply had more people skills.

Mathematicians are social butterflies in comparison. They mostly write proofs for other people, not machines.
