Is this a typical physics curriculum?

Always work independently through your text in conjunction with an alternate text, preferably one recommended to you from PFers. Never trust the professor's workload. That's retarded as hell though that you were given zero proofs and then a proof-based exam.

Surely you worked through the proofs in your text regardless of what the professor said, or were there no proofs?

The text was mostly just telling you how to solve problems. For instance, if you want to find the eigenvalues of a matrix, do the following. The professor wanted bonified proofs. I complained to his superior directly, and I basically got the response that he was very difficult to work with.

Damn dude, that's just retarded. I thought my CC was bad...
