No need to get upset. Even though their professor is shitty, you should still read and study the material so you understand the material in any classroom setting whether you are giving a presentation on it or not.
The exam questions will all be based on questions from the textbook

That literally isn't the point though. Yeah, obviously you should try to make the best of a bad situation. You should always try your best.
But that's not an excuse for you to be put in that shitty situation to begin with. That's the point. That's the point of the entire thread. "Why is x shitty educational practice allowed?".

>That literally isn't the point though.
That is literally my point. I'm not responding to the OP, I'm inquiring on why a group of students aren't reading the material and why a responder is failing a course.
>Ironically, I am failing that course since I never attended to a single exam because I either didn't study or didn't feel like memorizing the problems.
This is what I'm responding to. My conversation was a tangent that you did not have to be a part of and could have just ignored.

It's a fucken disgrace here. Even in high level physics courses they give you simple tests so that mexicans can compete. In the USSR they used to call you up to the teacher and he would ask you questions and ask you to solve various problems and such. This was a much better method for testing knowledge.

Clearly you are the one that's retarded if you couldn't comprehend the message of that post.

The professor with the horrible exams in did this as well. In a school with motivated students and a course required for a specific major, I could see it working. It sure as hell did not work in my class.

What should the exams be based on if not the material from the readings, lectures and tutorials?
Doesn't mean it has to be identical, but I would have thought the point of taking an exam in a unit is to assess the information taught within that unit.

Because girls do better when you base everything on rote learning.

If your comprehension is good, you should be able to solve it without recognizing it.
