Famous Professor Syndrome

When a lecturer in a college or university is either so famous or such a genius that he or she has lost the ability to connect with students. This makes their teaching style extremely confusing and careless and they may not even make it to every lesson.

"Its probably all taught by TA's with occasional cameos by Franco. Its typical Famous Professor Syndrome"

absent-minded professor

The very intelligent are sometimes preoccupied with weighty matters (as they suppose) insomuch that they forget about more prosaic matters -- such as remembering keys, wallet, phone, appointments, etc.
The teacher showed up in class, on time -- but forgot it was Tuesday, not Wednesday -- and was halfway through the lecture before the absent-minded professor realized he was teaching the wrong subject matter. On the plus side, I understand Einstein's Theory of Relativity a lot better than I did. I hope it shows up on our Physical Science 101 exams...
