faculty schmaculty.....

since when is it an acceptable practice for a professor to teach a lecture, post objectives for the lecture, provide practice multiple-choice questions on said lecture material and then send out an email four days later telling us that none of the material will be on the exam?

moreover....

since when is it acceptable for a professor to simply cut the top ten most recent research abstracts about topic X off scifinder, paste them into a powerpoint file and call it a lecture?

whatever happened to actual learning and not just rote memorization of straight-up crap?

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
