The sink of all knowledge
As part of a course I had to do, there was one module which happened to be in a subject I already knew a fair bit about. So, I was resigned for a boring couple of hours. But actually it was fascinating, though for all the wrong reasons.

The guy giving the presentation was not just a bad teacher, he was in fact an anti-teacher. That is, his explanations left the audience with less information than when they started. It really was incredible, this talent he had: he could take a simple topic that everyone was happy with, speak for ten minutes, and have a room full of people starting to question if they actually understood it after all.

I bet he had tenure...
