I had so many professors that just read me the powerpoints. I would literally miss nothing from the lecture if I just downloaded the slides after every class, but no, attendance was mandatory. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy to know that I'm still paying off an education I could've gotten most of by reading a few pages of bullet points every week.

Had to upvote you for the being in the same boat. Even worse though when the slide is two lines and contains the following only:

                       [Title]
    
    * [Title]
I'm not kidding, I've seen this a couple of times. And worse yet is that there is literally no extra content to listen to in the class.

(Not all courses of mine are like this one, though.)
