Of course it can also depend on the school. The GF went to Emerson College in Boston. Small private school. She said that she had great teachers there. I went to california state/public schools.

The sad thing is that with many of these tenured profs, all you can really do is drop the class. No amount of complaints from the students is going to have any effect on them. Thankfully most classes are only 3 - 5 months long.

ditto x 2. it depends greatly on the school and even the particular class. what makes a school a world class research institution (or even, er, a leader in the eastern half of tennessee perhaps ) does not make for a great undergraduate experience. "powerpoint teachers" just suck. drop the class, take something better.

They get paid to do research and write articles and papers. Teaching is just a side job.

aka publish or perish????
