I think certain people here are missing an important point, it's absurd to pay 1k-2k$ for a class which an instructor half-asses and does not at least attempt to have students comprehend the material.

The argument that instructors don't owe students anything is bizarre considering students pay university's to teach them the material.

It would be one thing if universities were purely funded by research grants, but they are not and a significant portion of their funding comes from students attending their university to be taught a subject.

Excellent point!

For the record I'm not trying to get him fired. That's too far for me or any student to go. Besides, he knows the material, he just needs to make a small leap to make it more accessible to students.
