The sad truth is that we keep paying them to teach us. The value of a uni degree is the value we give it.

No-one seems to realise that professors are almost never hired on their ability to teach. They're hired on their ability to bring in research income, and teaching is almost always seen as an annoying distraction to that.
It's insane, it's (imho) unethical, but it just seems to be common practice. -
qwwerty11454y@AlmondSauce Have to agree. The best professors I had were those, who were doing maintenance and ops for the university instead of research.
a) They have a daily working experience and keeping eye on a new trends.
b) They know their/uni stuff and can build on top of it. Example: sysadmin was teachnig computer basics, networks and shell scripting. Had an awesome ecosystem of teaching tools built into the university server, which enabled him to create workshops/live exercises with automatic grading.

Why are some professors in uni so god damn incapable of teaching?
I am in the midst of one of the most important classes of my uni career, algorithms, and I've been paired with the most incompetent, uncaring piece of shit professor on gods green earth.
First off, his mic sounds like an absolute ass-blasted bic mac. Shit is awful. Sounds like a bass boosted ear-r*pe meme from youtube.
On top of this, his way of "teaching" is showing us pictures he took of his whiteboard from when classes weren't virtual. He then opens these pictures in MS paint so he can circle what hes currently looking at and draw lines and stupid shit across the screen.
WHY IS THIS ALLOWED. WHY ARE THESE INCAPABLE OLD FUCKS ALLOWED TO TEACH STILL.
