That's an absolutely terrible goal!

How can you expect someone to learn exactly what you present? No motivation for extension. No context for understanding.

It's supposed to be a textbook, not an exam crib sheet.

The book was meh, but seeing that stated goal frastically lowers my respect for the GA Tech math department. It shows the clear disdain that the professor has for the students and the material they are teaching.



I went there for undergrad and trust me it’s the hunger games. I remember for one class, DSP we would have labs before they would actually teach the material and as a student you were how the Fck can I achieve whatever the lab is asking with the knowledge we learned so far… you couldn’t and it would take a couple of labs to realize that material req was from next class.
