I had an organic chemistry class in college where the average grade was a C. I was a chemistry major and I passed with a D. A couple of other would-be chemistry majors dropped the class. The professor actually told us that we were the worst group of students he had ever taught (and it was his last class before retirement).
I don't think he was a bad teacher, because I certainly was a bad student.
Also he talked about the need to cut down on burning fossil fuels, but less due to environmental concerns and more due to the lost opportunity to make plastics and other interesting substances out of them.

My organic chemistry prof was equally weird about synthesis. But his ego rested on everyone passing, in contrast to the biology prof who failed half the students in her classes. She was the better teacher. I don't remember much from my second semester of o chem because I didn't really need to learn anything to get an A, but I have retained quite a lot from her classes

After ORC1-6 bind the origin of replication, Cdc6 is recruited. Cdc6 recruits the licensing factor Cdt1 and MCM2-7. Cdt1 binding and ATP hydrolysis by the ORC and Cdc6 load MCM2-7 onto DNA.
Note that they're numbered but the numbers aren't related to the order in which they act. I don't need to know that. No one who doesn't do research specifically on the pre-replication complex needs to know that.
(Excuses, excuses...)

Is that the explanation for how Trump could be elected not just once, but twice?

Then you all get to hate that one person who already read a 15 year old textbook they found in the trash instead of me, who can't teach as well as literal garbage!

Yes, but apparently they expect someone to teach them even the most basic things - they seem to be getting this "education" from Truth Social & Co. now because there is apparently no longer a halfway decent education system in the US.
I can't think of any other explanation for why someone would vote twice for a presidential candidate who is so obviously unsuitable.

love the completely unhinged take of "we need to reduce fossil fuel use so I can use all the crude oil to make weird stuff"

I heard that blame can be laid on journalists as well. The Guardian is the only left leaning source I can think of that doesn't have paywalls. While the right leaning sources at worse have loads of slop ads.

I hope he just continues like that everyday for the rest of his career, even once he gains confidence to know what he's doing.
Like every class his students have to talk him off a ledge, and then when he nears retirement after 50 years he's just known as "that crazy professor" every campus seems to have.

Yes, it's sad, especially since the Guardian is a UK news outlet.

Fuck organic chemistry in particular. That is the only class I've ever taken where it felt like I was arguing my grade before a judge who had already decided I was guilty. Like even if you're right, you're still wrong. You know it and the judge knows it, but what are you going to do about it? It's his courtroom.

Yes, this pattern is also prevalent in Europe. That is precisely why the US should serve as a cautionary example. We still have a reasonably functioning media landscape, but that can change quickly here too.

He teaches math but does "convince me through appeals to emotion" type of proofs

I rolled the worst possible teacher for most of my classes in IT school. I think 3/4 of the class failed the networking 1 course.

Maybe it’s just chemistry professors. I had one try to expel me for plagiarism because my lab partner and I had the same measurements on our lab reports (no overlap other than the numbers, which weren’t open to a lot of interpretation). You know, because we had the same experiment.
Luckily, part of the process was sitting down with the professor and the head of the department, and as soon as the professor explained what the problem was, the dean rolled his eyes, asked why my professor didn’t even report both of us, and told me someone else in the department would grade my exam, then let me leave.
