Out teaching the teacher

When the student becomes the teacher, is it always good?

I’ve been enrolled in a class that is learning programming concepts.Visual Basic is the tool we are using  on the Visual Studio enterprise system that we are provided via University of San Francisco. What is happening though is that the professor seems to be on and off. I cannot quite put my finger on it.

One day he seems to be on his game telling us exactly what he needs to such as what an array is and how bubble sorts are working but then when we have questions outside of class, he is absent unlike what he promised us. i find that myself and one, maybe two others have more experience in the field of programming so I am helping a good portion of the students, hopefully, learn. While I feel good about this, I also feel that they should be getting this instruction from the professor.

In the end, I all I can ask for is that my classmates will find that the instruction that I give them is a helpful free supplementary to the mishmash that they are paying for. while frustrating, it’s also gratifying at the same time. Perhaps there is a future in this for me after all.
