This method of teaching, they suggested, was boring and did not help them grasp the course he teaches.

In a video sighted by YEN.com.gh, one of the students, identified as Abena, said it was unfair for them to pay close to GH¢4,000 per semester for a lecturer to come to class and ask them to watch YouTube videos.
