More accurately, it's usually a corporate CEO who knows they'll only be with the company for one and a half fiscal years at most, and is solely focused on increasing the company's net profits during that time. I swear, from what I’ve seen and heard, especially through COVID and virtual learning: some professors have an ego and almost literally live for having a bunch of captive students forced to follow their wishes for the entire class (including sitting through ridiculous insults and stereotyping and being berated for not knowing things that haven’t been relevant since before our parents were born) or be flunked. Like… meet me halfway here and at least tell me what I need to do and when. Moreover, if someone is handling the material just fine without attending class, why screw over the students that don’t even -need- extra help to pass, by intentionally misleading them? Hell, this is also the sort of crap that turned one or two absences due to depression setting in, into losing entire classes or being so stressed out I couldn’t work up the nerve to come back to class anyway. I highly doubt any of those practices would work well in the corporate world, so I’m rather skeptical of them being masters of anything resembling efficiency. You’d be dismayed how many college engineering professors in their 70s or 80s trumpet six sigma style qualifications to undergrads like me that don’t even have the background to know what exactly it entails, or act like it’s some perfect ideal to always strive for.Ĭuriously, those professors’ classes are usually logistical nightmares, with constantly changing exam dates, policies on homework in flux (one of them had a policy to take a random selection of the problems from the week out of a binder we’d keep and grade them over the weekend he didn’t take a single one until late April, so we had zero homework grades to assess our skill until nearly the final, in a dynamics class where drawing diagrams and deriving equations was vital), unannounced cancelled classes, vital info only given out by verbal announcement without a recording or a written account for anyone who wasn’t present/didn’t get a chance to note it down, and so on.
