@boomzilla sometimes (often?) the best experts are also the worst teachers.
I had a physics teacher like that. He clearly knew his stuff, but spent most of his time talking in a semi-nasal voice and at a sing-song tone and fairly high speed, while filling the blackboard from top left to bottom right, then erasing it all and doing it again. I didn’t learn much there
This sounds exactly like most of my undergrad professors, at least in math and the natural sciences. I finally stopped going to class, and it didn't seem to matter, as I hadn't learned anything from the lectures. By the time I went to grad school a couple of decades later (in CS), the professors would put their lectures in PowerPoint. This was a tremendous improvement, as it forced them to organize their thoughts better.
This both helped and hurt me in college. I needed medical forgiveness (or whatever it's called) for my grades one year, but a few classes I had taken were so easy I passed them despite only attending a few exams (reading the powerpoints the morning of) and almost no classes. So they denied it because I didn't fail everything and I consequently lost my scholarship and couldn't afford to go anymore.

@pie_flavor Shouldn’t you have used Comic Sans?
-
@greybeard "Used"?

@pie_flavor Comic Sans is a shade more obvious than Papyrus.

. It is a well-known meme and I created no part of this image.

@pie_flavor No, I did not believe you actually created that image. It is a good graphic designer making fun of bad graphic design. You do not seem the type to have the requisite skill.

@thegoryone Yes.
Comic Papyrus, A Complete Font Designed as a Mashup of Papyrus and Comic Sans
Graphic designer Ben Harman combined the two generally loathed typefaces Papyrus and Comic Sans into the font Comic Papyrus. We previously featured the
