I had an organic chemistry class in college where the average grade was a C. I was a chemistry major and I passed with a D. A couple of other would-be chemistry majors dropped the class. The professor actually told us that we were the worst group of students he had ever taught (and it was his last class before retirement).

I don't think he was a bad teacher, because I certainly was a bad student.

Also he talked about the need to cut down on burning fossil fuels, but less due to environmental concerns and more due to the lost opportunity to make plastics and other interesting substances out of them.

Yes, often the course is just hard or the students are lazy, but not always. I've had several teachers who were strangely proud of the low succes rates.
