My mid tier university has a fundamental problem where the lecturers aren't even hired to teach, they're hired for research. And since the university can't get enough American grad students to stay and be research slaves they bring in grad students from the third world. Then these grad students are required by law to teach a certain number of credit hours to conduct research and there you go. The result is every general class is poorly taught by people who can barely speak English and don't care about teaching so you end up teaching yourself or failing.
CS courses generally don't have this issue but they do have a large amount of mediocre professors. Reason being anyone talented in CS can make 2-3x the salary out in the real world and so CS grads rarely stick around to teach.
The saying "those who can't do, teach." is as relevant as ever.
