    There's an instructional system in place that is opposite any other college I've heard of so far. It's called the Thayer Method, and basically, we learn everything on our own before the class for which it's due, and the class time is solely to bounce questions and get further insight on the subject matter that we're already expected to know. Sounds pretty stupid in my opinion but I don't know anything yet so my opinion is invalid.

good professors try to teach this way, and it usually lasts up until they meet their not-so-good students
