<p>It’s funny because what you describe as teaching some HS teachers I’ve had harshly denounced as “spoon-feeding” that we should learn to leave behind not only in their classes, but moreso for college. This included one jerky HS teacher I had as a 13 year old who declared students who need to be spoonfed into the college years “Won’t last beyond their first semester there”*. ROTFLOL…what BS. </p>
<p>Personally, while I favor the non-lecture type teaching style, lecturing has its place for certain types of fields/subjects for novice students with little/no previous exposure. </p>
<p>However, there was the expectation in intermediate/advanced courses that Profs discuss/expand on the readings…but not cover them so the onus was on us students to complete them beforehand, digest them, and if needed…go to the Prof’s office hours to clarify points. </p>

<li>IME, he wildly overstated the rigor/difficulties of undergrad academics for me and the majority of my HS classmates…including those who attended most elite/Ivy universities.</li>
