Not a good teacher

This shows that being a professor doesn't make a good teacher. Most topics are covered superficially and he often speaks dismissively about all the things his students have done wrong. This doesn't equip you with what to do or even start to understand the subject matter. And this is coming from someone who understands what he is talking about. This is delivered in form of lectures, which I don't mind, but he often seems to speak off the cuff and comes across as unprepared.
