I know that I learned close to nothing in classes where teachers just read off of a powerpoint presentation. I’d be foolish if I took the time to listen, right? I either a) skipped the class entirely or b) played on my computer all class. Right before a test, I memorize the slides and boom I could ace it! But, I definitely didn’t retain much info for more than a few hours.

As far as poorly worded tests go, I hated when teachers wouldn’t admit to ambiguous questions and/or grading. I can think of multiple times when I compared my short answer responses to that of a classmates and our grades definitely didn’t correspond with the actual difference in our work. Naturally, this sometimes worked for me and sometimes against me.
