Worried about Rice professors

Rice has a lot of bad professors because they got their jobs for the money their research pulls in and not their teaching ability. Rice also has many engaging professors. Maybe I’m just jaded, but I don’t feel like teaching ability matters. The professors are there to assign a grade and upload course documents. It’s the student’s responsibility to learn the material no matter who the professor is. If for some reason you don’t understand some concept, you can go to a help session or ask the professor. You’ll get your answer regardless of that professor’s teaching ability.
