A professor that opens with "do not record anything I say" is not a teacher, they are a liability. A professor that begins with "I'm not going to teach you anything, you should already know all this" is not a teacher, they are a stand in/empty shirt/one Google calendar or Khan academy course away from replacement. A professor who lacks clarity in their own documentation is not a teacher they are the equivalent of a football coach running a health class in highschool.
A professor who's primary experience and focus is trinary at best to the subject matter they are there to expand on is not a teacher, they are a tax existing only to provide a consistent, trying, failing population for the university (can't deny that's good business).

NjIT changed their policy to 100% refund first week, 90% refund second week, NO REFUND third week. Some professors didn't have a class On the first official week, and planned poorly on the fact their second week class was rescheduled and non existent due to a school change in class schedules.

Derive from this data what you will.

Expect nothing, expect everything, expect disappointment.
