It depends how its taught those exercises.
Some still teach people by getting them to stall and then do a dance on the rudder pedals lifting wings and such nonsense.
Its no wonder some don't like them, and if the instructor is clueless and pass on all the old wifes tales to do with stalling etc it makes it worse.
Hell some instructors are adding on 20knts to book approach speeds because they are clueless and **** scared themselves of stalling.
