"She Didn't Teach. We Had to Learn it Ourselves" A faculty member had received on her student ratings this comment: "This teacher should not be paid. We had to teach ourselves in this course."

Two possible reasons for these comments are students being overly dependent on the instructor for their learning and no rationale is provided for a specific assignment or action. This article shares ways in which to reach a balance between student and faculty goals.
