I don't know the solution either. My stats professor religiously attended and espoused these "teaching stats" conventions. But the end result was him always deferring to how the committee did things. The entire pedagogy including how he answered questions. I really didn't like this solution and it made me hate stats until some reacquaintance with it in discrete math.
But then if you're at the mercy of a professor who does things their own way, you can have cases like you give.
One thing that helped was getting syllabi from future potential classes and comparing which textbooks they used. My advisor helped me do this and I credit it with making my senior year more tolerable.
