Student's or Professor's Fault?

in college, the professors are not responsible for the content of the course, YOU ARE. So quit your whining and go read your textbook. We’ve all had classes where a professors lectures did not cover everything on the test – they shouldn’t have to! Professors give you assignments in the textbook and other recommended readings and handouts for a reason. I doubt that the information on the test was not in your textbook.
Just wait until you get to upper-division classes, where you often don’t even have lectures and instead have primarily discussion and practical learning but get tested on both details (from the text) and practical application and discussion (from class).
As they say in med school: “Teach the concepts. Test the details.”
