Correct again.
Profiles, callouts, and flows are a personal responsibility. Your instructor, no matter who he works for, can't teach something that is supposed to be memorized. He can only teach how to implement those procedures.
Same for emergency procedure knowledge...the instructor can teach how to do the procedure but he can't do the memorizing for the student.
Folks who come in with an "I want to be spoon fed" attitude have a difficult time. Others who have an "I'll do my part by preparing" do much better.
