    If nothing is laid out for me and I just have to read a bunch of textbooks, what exactly am I paying tuition for?

    All of my courses did the bulk of instructing and learning during class or lab time, and it was a fulfilling, educational, and enjoyable experience.

    College is expensive, it’s not unreasonable to expect the instructors to be willing to and capable of instructing.

      That’s a false dichotomy. It is not the difference between the teacher doing everything and the teacher doing literally nothing (“if nothing is laid out for me”). The expectation is that, in *your * education, the teacher should do their job to teach and you do your due diligence as a student to learn.

      The latter point is what the post is about. Students who put in no effort at all. If that doesn’t apply to you, then you shouldn’t feel annoyed.
