Our first assignment comes and we're absolutely blindsided; no one knows how to do it. His notes, tips, nothing help. So we all turn to the internet and it turns out he copied, word for word, every question of the assignment from previous assignments belonging to profs at other universities (Michigan, Alberta, Connecticut etc..). Along with the questions of course come the answers which help the students but that's beside the point. This continues for all the assignments released during the course. Of course, everyone is a little frustrated with this and we ask him how much of his own work has he done on the course. He says "50/50" lying through his teeth and claims he had too little time. Well nevertheless students have to prepare for the final exam which is open book and open notes. What everyone does is simply go to the sites he previously stole questions from and print off all the solutions to the other questions. Sure enough almost all of the questions we had printed off in preperation appeared on the final. The worst part is that he puts copyright at the bottom of all of 'his work' stating that no one can reproduce it.
I mean, how can someone be so lazy to not even write his own question for HIS course? I know teaching may not be your number one priority at the university but at least put some effort into the course. I have notified the Director of my program who has failed to do much. I'm considering informing the Dean or perhaps even notifying the professors that had their work stolen from. I'm not for giving my university a bad name but something has to be done. Professors should be held to the same standard students are. What do you guys think I should do?

You gotta run this through the school's administration, I'd love to see lazy buttholes like that get hammered. There has always been a double standard that profs can not take their courses seriously, so the the student has to over compensate for a lazy prof.
