You mean he learnt that he should avoid this prof at all costs? The student is paying the prof, not the other way around.


You could not possibly be more wrong.

The student pays the university. The university pays the professor. This is not a small detail. Professors (and other teachers more generally) are not personal employees of their students.

Beyond that, the student is paying for an education and - in the case of an MBA - an entrance into a professional world. He or she just got both. I would say this semester, he or she already got value for the investment.
