Times have changed haven’t they?
I had some teachers in college I really did not like. Some were hard on us, and all of us in college at the time spent a lot of time commiserating with each other about how tough some of the teachers were.
But we did the best we could.
None of us decades ago ever felt entitled to get an A.
I guess I just don’t understand the entitlement mentality.
It could be that an F is from lack of trying or intellect. And a real F is probably always that. But a bad grade from D to B- may be because the professor is a bad teacher. I had many of those. You can be boring or hard to understand in that you use jargon or a thick accent. You can have an illogical teaching method. And you can teach to a portion of your class and not the rest. I had many bad professors that forced me to learn the subject another way, like poring over the text books or reading outside books Or talking to classmates and once I went to a good teachers class because he made sense. Being tough is one thing. And thats ok. But being tough to understand is totally the professors fault.
