    Y’all went to shitty schools and or think far you highly of your skills.

    My professors were hands on and extremely helpful. There is not a chance in hell I’d have figured out algorithms efficiency or some of the absolute dumbest parts of bash without their help.

      name the school and lets see what they rate online

      I’ll start Reed College

      1/3 the profs couldn’t teach for shit but it was still 60k USD

      multiple examples

      one prof kept forgetting how to finish his equations and broke down in tears (feel bad for the guy but still)

      another had a middle eastern accent so thick the 80+ class auditorium couldn’t hear or understand the man

      multiple cases of classes being ran by green post grads

      and finally the prof that slept with multiple students, had a massive ego, only taught one lab but each physics major had to take, never actually taught a damn thing but ‘would leave the conclusion as an exercise’

      fuck this ‘school’

      Agreed. Sure there were some freshman level courses that were pretty basic and lectures that were skippable. But all of the Junior and Senior level courses were much more challenging and I really needed to understand everything for science lab work to not just be a pile of burnt crap. There were also the exams that were so hard they let us have open textbooks, just studying alone at home wouldn’t have gotten through those exams.
