It's not just med school. I had this issue with a Computer Science professor for my operating systems class. Some Chinese man who did a bunch of research for the university but he had an impenetrable accent and couldn't teach for shit. He just put slides up on the projector and more or less read them off. He also failed to actually check any of the assignments we submitted and graded purely on whether or not a file was submitted. I know because towards the end of the year I submitted a text document that read something to the effect of "Let me know if you read this and I'll supply you with the actual assignment." Never heard back from him and got full marks. It was only years later that I heard from a friend that that actually got him in trouble with the department, but I'm pretty sure he had tenure and did not get canned.
Omg, the school I went to pulled that shit too! It was a math class. The school went to their IT department, and told the woman she either taught the class or got fired. When did this become SOP?!
Luckily it was a very kind, and smart woman. Understanding her wasn't the issue. She just wasn't a teacher, and ain't have any patience for the idiot teeny boppers. I felt so bad for that woman. She fucking hated Bb just as much as we did. But, the teeny boppers lost their minds about taking paper tests, or paper homework assignments.
I understand completely why yours gave no fucks.
CompSci 2000-2006 (I got mono one fall and missed some prereqs only offered in fall for classes only offered in spring). At least 2 teachers no one could understand what they said. Turns out one was on tenure track and - having a grad school TA gf and her best friend, our row house mate, was also a double grad - we had a lot of inside rumor mill knowledge with the professors who we would socialize, even sailing on the catamaran of one and going to parties at their places, and my gf worked with the daughter of the owner of the local radio station so we had those connections, too, so we came to know that it seemed he was having an affair with the new department head. The previous department head was perhaps my favorite teacher and he was so disillusioned with the department that he transfered to the mathematics department to teach mathematical computing. Of course I took his classes as my elective.
Anyway, this has been happeneing in compsci for at least 25 years.
Oh, and my school no longer exists: it was absorbed into a group of 6 other colleges in the area so all of the campuses for all 6 are now part of the same system.
