You can get a tutor? TAs are pretty money hungry so almost any of them will do it for 25 an hour.

I had a Prof say "no matter how I clown around up here, you're going to have to teach yourself these things".

My perspective is that classes provide the motivation, then each student does what they do with it.

I don't think departments are financially incentivized to create happy customers, and I do still think this is a good thing after my own multi-year "sufferings."
