I have been reading through the comments from students who dropped out of their programs because they felt invisible in the lecture hall. These stories confirm that we are fighting for a change that is long overdue in our classrooms. My next step is compiling these experiences into a formal report to present to the department heads.

Seeing this grow so quickly reminds me of every time I sat in a lecture hall feeling completely lost while my professor ignored the obvious confusion in the room. This momentum proves that I am not the only one who believes our education system needs a fundamental change.

PLEASE!! my chem professor is a nightmare. super smart but zero patience and no teaching skills.
Long overdue. The way some of these profs talk down to students who are just trying to learn is unacceptable.
My calc professor has no idea how to explain anything. He just reads off slides and expects us to know it all.
YES. Being smart doesnt mean you know how to teach. Some of these guys are brilliant researchers but hopeless in a classroom.
finally someone said it. i feel like i pay way to much money to teach myself everything from a textbook.

Need this change so badly. maybe fewer people would drop stem majors if the instructors actually cared about pedagogy.
