Came 30 mins late every class. Never lectured, no powerpoint slides, no blackboard. Made us go into groups and try to teach ourselves by doing textbook questions, then had none of that info on any exams. 90% of class failed midterm and I assume final. He also would say "this stuff is easy guys" when someone asked a question then not explain.
