: I know that in the few scenes where we actually see Indy in the classroom he seems competent and the students pay rapt attention. Although I think they only pay attention because they all seem to be hot for him. Anyway, how good a teacher do you think Indy was really?
: He seems to treat teaching almost as a sideline and is always ready to drop everything and go traipsing off.
: I personally would not want to take a class from a teacher who couldn't be trusted to show up for class for more than a week at a time.

: What do you think?

Hey. I think "rotten" is too strong a word. I've always thought he was a lousy teacher. Seriously, though, any teacher who jumps out a window to escape students who have genuine gripes probably shouldn't be considered for tenure. I think Lucas should've stuck with his original idea tomake Indy a globe-trotting playboy. Just my two cents.
