You suffer from survivor bias. There are better ways to make courses harder than not having any notes.
80% of students failing the exam is the fault of the teacher or fault of university for having admitted unprepared students.
Unfortunately, my uni was free admission, so the first year helps filter out unprepared students.
I might suffer from a bias, but what I did was study to pass the test. I don't expect everyone to pass every exam as I don't expect everyone to get a degree. Universities need to be hard if they want to keep their reputation and not be outlived by online courses on YouTube. A degree, more than a certificate that the student attended some classes, should prove that a person is capable of thinking, studying and doing hard work.
