Based on the classes the Math Department gave me (very satisfying) and the student evaluations this seemed to work more or less fine. I was a brutal grader though, some of those entry level classes had bimodal distributions with 'F' being the low mode.
I also showed up for office hours and did my best to help people learn by digging through their questions.
I don't see why this methodology wouldn't work fine today. I wouldn't care now how a student learned. Show competency on the human only test and we're good.
I had one student who achieved a solid 'F' come by office hours after the course to tell me how much he enjoyed my teaching. Whatever!
Anyway, teaching that way, with the positive interactions with students interested in learning, was one of the greatest experiences of my life.
