[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like some college professors do not know how to teach.
[b]Unclear instructions, professor who does not explain clearly, unorganized and sloppy[/b][/quote]

Yes, for the price we are paying we should expect more from them.[/quote]
You should absolutely expect a Professor who explains material clearly and who is organized.  What you are not entitled to however is a Professor who spoon feeds your child and teaches to the test.  The goal should be to teach and train your child to work independently, to understand material and make connections to other disciplines and to the real world.  The class is not a recipe with step by step instructions on how to do well on the examination.  The exam is testing whether you have understood the material and can apply that knowledge in different and sometimes new ways.  A student who can rise to this challenge will be better prepared for life after college because their employers will not provide them with grading rubrics that are as long as the assignments![/quote]
