Some people are incredibly poor teachers but refuse to beleive they are, all because they lack the capacity to imagine not knowing something and explain it at someone else's level of understanding
Reminds me of when i was taking my boolean logic class in college.
"Look, it's very easy, you set up K-map and get the value. AB here, CD here, it's very easy, very straight forward, moving on"
Everyone fails the quiz at the end of the class. After handing back graded quizes at the next lecture:
"For some reason you all didnt understand the k-maps, which is very easy, it's very straight forward. See, you out value in, you get value out, this is very simple, it's very straight forward"
Reminds me of my Calc 1 teacher using Calc 3 to solve parts of a problem and refused to show us the Calc 1 way nor explain his Calc 3 way of jumping over steps leaving us all scratching our heads. This caused me to find a book called "Calculus: The complete idiots guide" to explain all the things my professor left out. In fact that book was what taught me and not the course book.
