I fucking hate it when my professors use homework to get me to "think". Homework is for bumping my grade and doing practice problems for the exams.

Yeah how about you get your students to think in fucking SCHOOL you boring, lazy, impassionate, busybodies.

I can just imagine the soulless bug behind that post.

Lol Calculus is challenging enough without the professor trying to fucking trick you by using obscure notation and odd phrasing. Lectures should inspire out of the box thinking, as the other anon said. Challenge is about setting people up to win but just barely.

There’s a difference between having to think because your kike professor is playing tricks on you and having to think because it’s a math problem, you know.

>Lectures should inspire out of the box thinking
So professors should either
>leave long pauses in their lectures for students to do some serious thinking, during which they will certainly not be fucking around on phones or working on other stuff
or
>trust that they will reserve time to think after class without homework

It's called being engaging. Just like parenting there can be no perfect schooling. Ideally lectures, reading and coursework should be done before after and during each other
>long pauses
Please don't.
If you want to inspire thought you can add some tricky stuff to the homework but it should additional sentences to explain the added complexity and guide towards understanding. Why would you trust a student to suddenly gain genius insight when confronted with an obscure problem? Normal people learn through hard work AND guidance

then “normal” people don’t belong in college. Pick up a trade.

Professors don't expect all of their students to get all the homework questions right.

I literally have 3 100's in this one class where the teacher doesn't pay attention during tests

Not OP but using your phone during an exam is really risky.
In my exams the TAs and professor both go walk around the room while we take the exam. It would be really hard to conceal it.

You're cheating yourself out of actually learning anything, and it's going to fuck you long term if your job actually requires any degree of technical competence.

College makes learning insufferable by the dependency of grades instead of projects.

The only chance you’ll see me in a state of peacefulness and curiosity is when I’m unsupervised and unscheduled, with my textbooks and I alone.
