I did nearly a decade of college and without fail the more fancy effort a professor put in the less I learned about anything. As miserable as it was, forcing literal pen to paper with pages of notes and problems was the only truly effective measure to remember anything after the exam on it. And most of the (older, white) smarter ones knew it, which is why they deliberately did it, compared to the (younger, female) lazier ones who were big fans of "here is how you plug it into a calculator, and its done!"
Point of this is that as hilarious retarded as this is, its only going to make their goal less achieved. Both from people hating the thing enough to resist it, but also by them just learning less in general.
I still remember watching the absolute horror on a lot of girl's faces when at the beginning of one semester a (very old) professor said she would not be providing the slides for printing, and you'd be expected to not only copy what was on them but also take notes from the lecture itself.
Like they couldn't imagine that going to class had an actual purpose beyond getting homework back.

I'll always remember returning to college as an adult, and riding the bus home one day while I overheard two younger women talking. One says:
