I could understand chemistry when it was presented well. I didn't have any problems with it in biology, physiological psychology or psychopharmacology. It's just that I had a professor who taught with the assumption that his students already knew most of this stuff and if you asked him to explain something, he would just repeat it the way you didn't understand it the first time. The only wauy I maintained a B average was by spending way more time studying than I should've had to so that I could figure it out for myself.
My college biology teacher was a joke. It was his first semester EVER teaching. He looked like a hippy, and smelled like one, too. He was the worst teacher I ever had at college. He'd forget his notes, he'd be difficult to understand any complete thought he attempted to "teach." The only way I passed the tests was to study only from the book for hours, as the notes taken during class were useless....it was almost as if the material covered in class and the tests were from different subjects. I only ended up with an A in the class because I stopped studying at all from my notes, bought an additional biology book and taught myself the subject matter.
You know some parents are like that with their tots when they reprimand...
They think the level of understand already meet theirs!
