Grades are usually a good pick on how a professor teaches, but also how a student responds in learning. It is a 2 way street, and with technology and power, you have the choice to take professors. There are many great professors at SCC, but also some that are horrible, and take the job as a pay check, and since after 4 years, they become tenured, then can coast and not care. But there are professors that even after 20 years pour their heart and soul into their teaching just like their first day of teaching. So the moral of the story is that even after tenture, professors are held accountable by the free market. If you teach well, and students get good grades, then your classes are full, if not, then students won't take the class and it gets cancels, and they may coud out non-tenture or part time professors, but after a while, the administration would have to step in, b/c the more classes that are cancelled, them or money the school looses, and that my friends is where the business of education comes in and take effect.
