<p>Professors are under no obligation to help students who won’t help themselves. You teach an hour-long lecture to 100 students, and have 50 who basically want to reschedule? No. The students signed up for the course at a certain time. The professor should teach the course, and should provide additional aid, but should not cater to students who won’t make the time to do the most basic component of the class. That would be a waste to the 50 students who want to use office hours to go beyond the lecture material.</p>
