>professor starts lecture
>talks about how much he loves teaching the course and thanks everyone for showing up
>attendance is 10% of your grade
>kid asks for professor to do series solution problem at start of class
>professor says okay
>professor clearly struggling to do the problem
>doesn't complete problem, just stops after making a whole bunch of pen scribbles
>unironically transitions to a lecture on series solutions, continuation from last lecture
>another lecture, euler formulas
>reviews synthetic division almost the whole lecture
>reviews logarithmic rules the remainder of the lecture
>never does proofs or interesting problems
>kid asks about using long division
>professor says "that's a little too involved"
>>>remind you this is an upper division differential equations course
>another lecture, introduction to solutions in vector form
>assigns homework
>"multiply the two 3x3 matrices"
>"solve for the non-singular 3x3 matrix"
>majority of lecture time is dedicated to calculations
>always ends lecture with "it's a privilege teaching you and thank you for your attention"
why are some profs like this?
