The fancy word is pedagogy. No, the brochures all say the school is student-centered and that it employs only the best teachers. That's not true, though if you define teaching very carefully, it is somewhat true. The teaching process is also well-established.
Most teachers teach up a storm regardless of learning.
They tell rather than show. They're responsible for the tidy process of didactic, top-down instruction and the students are responsible for the messy process of learning. The higher education industry is consciously modeled after an effective machine. It is a teaching machine. It uses scientific methods to measure, test, and sort students.
