As for your first point. Its frustrating I appreciate, but we are the factory farmed degree fodder, churned out for whatever the fad industry of our decade will be, and all the lecturer's are paid for at the the end of the day, is training the recruits. Long gone are the days when a degree was a privilige and could be lived as one, and the failing support from teaching staff reflects this sorry state. You are supposed to love your degree really, love the opportunity it affords, the insights it brings you, the way it changes your patterns of thinking, and for the first time in your lifelong career as student, draws you apart from your siblings and peers and gives you the tools to do something for you.
Your lecturer probably isn't lying to you about the revision thing, but when the time comes, be his new best friend, sit on the man's doorstep until you know it all backwards. At first he will be bemused and slightly bored, a few weeks in he'll start to get sick of the sight of you, but when you finally crack it, you might actually remind him why he went into teaching in the first place.
