Remembering Professor X

Whether it may be true that colleges are not the place for everyone, I still do not think the professor is a good teacher based on what I read here. 

Good teachers bring sensitivity and a spirit of reflective inquiry to their teaching. They care about what students do and how they do. As Eliot Eisner aptly put it:

       Teaching can be done as badly as anything else. It can be wooden, mechanical, mindless, and wholly unimaginative. But when it is sensitive, intelligent, and creative- those qualities that confer upon it the status of an art- it should, in my view, not be regarded, as it so often is by some, as an expression of unfathomable talent or luck but as an example of humans exercising the highest levels of their intelligence.

Isn't it the case for some teachers that the burden of learning should be always on the learner?
