Bachelor’s degree in Business administration.

Back when we paid our own way through school, and still learned something (mostly) useful.

Economics 101 and 102 were prerequisites for most any degree back then.

Anyway, how much classroom time did YOUR professors spend? I was being generous with 4 hours a day - many spend less, I’m sure.

It was a long time ago (perhaps in a galaxy far far away) ...

But my BS is in Physics. I think they spent about 5hs/day teaching. That might amount to "rattl[ing] off factiods" in some programs of study, but is certainly NOT the case in Physics or Math. They also kept office hours, did lesson preparation, and had research projects going on. The research projects included students as laboratory assistants.

Come to think of it, even in my off-major courses, I would not accuse the professors of simply "rattl[ing] off factoids".

I've heard of courses held in enormous lecture halls, in which the professor has no interaction with the students. I've never experienced one.
