If he did not have homework due every day I think the class would be nearly empty.
Thing was that the stuff in lecture was not always in the book, especially the lab lectures, and that stuff was on the final. And sometimes he would say stuff that was not in notes that would be useful for the tests.
Still, a lot of people would turn in the homework and leave before class began.
I don't see people walk out unless a prof goes over the class end time. It's either sit there for the whole thing or else don't come to class.
I will admit I did not come to the last couple weeks of heat transfer because the subject (radiation) was so easy and I had done the homeworks way early. I realized midway through the quarter that her lectures had zero value whatsoever for tests and solving problems. Just struggling through the homeworks with the book and the solution manual answers (which she provided) was much more helpful.
The most frustrating thing was that many of the convection problems involved iteration since the "constant" properties change with temperature, so the answers could vary by like 20% and still be right. The soln maual did not usually bother to be very accurate.
