Have anyone else noticed a growing trend of students saying this? I see it all over the college and college rant subs, but it’s also pretty pervasive at my own university.

Is it just a way for students to try to justify their own poor performance by placing the blame on the professor?

Is it because they have professors who teach in a different way than they’re accustomed?

Is it because they don’t know what teaching means?

Is there actually merit to the claim? Are some professors just not teaching?

I’m sure it’s a combination of all the above and more, but I’m curious if others have noticed this as well.
