Essentially my entire computer science bachelor’s degree was professors sending us the slides and expecting us to read it on our own. Then also mandatory attendance to lectures where they simply read the slides aloud with no additional context. And 90%+ of questions asked would be answered with “the test will only be on stuff in the slides”
Every class I gave at least a few weeks to see if the lectures would help at all but they never did. The only useful thing about them was being able to talk to the professor after class ended about homework clarifications.
You’re giving me flashbacks to this Unix class I had in junior year. The professor had (either prepared or stolen) a 100 slide deck, and as you said the final was based solely on the slides.
Well I did attend just to have him read the slides in broken English. (No shade on non-native English speakers btw, but if you’re teaching native English speakers you kind of have to put in the effort, and this guy was coasting on straight phonics as he read these slides and couldn’t answer any questions not covered by his slides.)
Then I converted the slides into a TTS audio file, snaked an earbud up my sleeve, took and passed the test.
