College core: you sit in the class for attendance then go home and teach yourself

At some level, college is supposed to be about teaching yourself.

That said, professors are supposed to help.

Professor here, maybe 1% of my students ask for help. About 15 % don’t show up to class to a course run around manuscript discussion, do poorly. Why bother? Save tuition and stay home, because even if they do get a piece of paper after 4 years they will fail in any professional environment with those habits.
