That is such a cop out, a total refusal to take responsibility for one's own actions.
So you're saying there's no such thing as a bad teacher?
Either way, it's the students' fault that they failed. Over the course of a semester, you figure out, rather quickly actually, what to anticipate from the teacher. OP is pissed because he didn't fulfill the teacher's expectations that students would know all of the material they covered in class and not just the stuff they thought they'd need to know/need to know in the real world.
Most students are retarded; I'm a college student and other peoples' stupidity and expectation that classes should be easier pisses me off. Tools like the OP have really curbed my thirst for knowledge by causing all of my classes to be dumbed down for morons.
The only reason that people should fail their classes (if they aren't stupid/lazy) is if a professor grades by the bell curve, wherein only x amount of people CAN get an 'A,' y amount of people get a 'B,' etc. I can understand failing in that circumstance because everybody in the class could get 90% or above on a test and half of the class would still fail. However, the OP's class isn't like that, is it?
OP: You fail. Try harder.
