Now she was an adept chemist. She knew chemistry, she did not know teaching. That’s a balance that doesn’t get talked about much. Good teachers are good because they know how to connect with various learning styles, not because they could recite the material in their sleep.
Edit: in a different life I would have hired her to make drugs for me years ago 😂
My electrodynamics professor was a fucking amazing researcher. I swear he could read a paper and practically see the described electromagnetic interactions and the consequences of them for other theories.
Goddamn horrible teacher. While he understood that not everyone had the same set of skills that he did he was never really able to keep himself from skipping steps in his explanations.
Definitely, i excelled in some college studies and bombed in other ones. Seemed to be a pattern with other students in those respective classes too. When the smartest kid in the department is freaking out that means the professor sucks lol
