Man, I've been in large lectures where there 200 students in a classroom and the professor tolerated completely inane arguments to try and teach just one student the material.
If you're in a class and you don't think what the professor is saying is right, either ask a question or write a note so you can follow up on it later.
Not once in my undergraduate career was I expected to turn off my brain and go on cruise control just because the guy down in front was an expert.
Honesstly, I feel like my whole benefit of my academic career was taken from sitting in a class, not understanding what the fuck was going on and then struggling to understand or contradict what I was being taught.
