my Chem teacher quit, and now I have 3 teachers, is this normal

[jdthomas 0]

So today i go back to school, my Chem teacher quit in the 2nd week of school with last friday being his last day. The school does not have a replacement for him so the other 3 teachers are filling in.
Is this normal for schools to do? am I going to get a losuy education from having 3 teachers trying to teach the same material?
I go to this class 5 days per week, this means I will have teacher 1 on m/t, teacher 2 on w/thur and teacher 3 on friday is what i am being told.
I am open minded to the idea that having 3 teachers could be a good thing in that I may click with ones teaching style if I need any help, but am a bit leary of this 3 teachers thing.. thoughts?

Joe, it seems that the damage has already taken affect.
If I were your attorney, I would advise you to invest in a home study course. If need be, I can hook you in with a reputable, although somewhat shady, aftermarket chemical supplier.

Get used to it. Once you go to college you'll have professors who would rather publish than teach so they aren't very good at it, ones who are insulted by the university forcing them to teach under graduate classes, and ones who don't speak English with a comprehensible accent.

You have to learn in spite of it.

So I went to my Chem class, the first of our three new teachers is french and in the words of the flying circus, he has an "outrageous accent".
I think I am going to drop the class and just retake it this summer.

I had Dr. Chakavarty for calc 3 with a heavier accent than Apu from the Simpsons. I think he secretly yearned to be an English professor, because he spent a disproportionate amount of time on analogies for basic things

You take de imaginary line around de mountain between two mountain climbers at de same altitude und dis is de level curve. You have a wetter map of de united states und ze pressure regions are level curves.

with not much actually on multi-variable calculus. Our first teaching assitant quit because he couldn't handle covering everything the professor should have. The second one just resigned himself to it.

The few hundred people in our section were not happy with the professor (every engineering student got three semesters of calculus).
