Review of UMKC

I had a horrible experience. One professor in part...

I had a horrible experience. One professor in particular, which for their sake will remain nameless, represented the University terribly. With the amount of tuition per semester students pay, you would expect the professors to care about the subject in which they teach. This particular professor however, would narrate the slides from a Powerpoint presentation that the publishers of the included text book compiled; not the professor themself. Similarly, all handouts were from the publishers of the same text book. Everything narrated would then be posted online for our review. Although the particular professor had a PhD, no unique knowledge was ever passed along in the least. Being as passionate as I was about the subject matter of the class, I was upset that I didn't get the opportunity to truly learn from someone that had earned their PhD but instead, I paid a small fortune to achieve something I could've achieved by simply paying for the text book and reading it myself.
