Memes

I work in the humanities. It requires discussion-based classes. Which are difficult to have if no one does the reading.

Are you saying your field is something that takes a lifetime to master and you have to spend every waking hour working on it?

I'm really trying to be charitable and assume you're arguing in good faith but when you say things like this, it's difficult.

And yes the classes that I learned the most in were the ones where we would read the textbook together and do exercises during class. The worst were the ones that would just assign the chapter for you to read at home without them there as a resource if you had any questions.

Okay, I agree with part of this. Good teachers will explain the material, bad teacher expect the students to do all the work. Now read the meme again. What you said is not the scenario I'm trying to describe.
