ahaha probably because my column stirred things up too much

7/31/2008 9:14:31 PM

i still don't know how you justified teachers making less

7/31/2008 9:17:18 PM

link to the column?

"I wanted to show that although professors are hired to do research and teach, the research they do is often part of their teaching (helping graduate students). Many students have a misconception that professors put research as their number one priority and therefore can afford to be rude/unfair in the classroom. The students who introduced me to the website were looking up the professors they'd had like this and were amazed that their salaries were so high for doing a job that they obviously did not show any joy for anymore -- whether it be a classroom of students or just one-on-one, portraying a negative attitude has a lasting effect. If I had more than 500 words, I would have posed a question that has always baffled me: How much do classevals really matter? The likability of a professor has a great impact on how students respond to course evaluations. The unfavorable professors obviously have low scores, yet the university allows them to continue to teach. Their attitudes skew the real purpose of course evaluations. Even though a student learned the course material well, the bad vibe they got from a "mean" professor would result in a poor evaluation overall. I cannot count the number of times I've heard a student say "I can't wait to do MY classevals", frustrated by a professor's lack of explanation for something or refusal to answer an apparently idiotic question. If professors displayed a neutral attitude in the classroom, course evaluations would be more valid and valuable tools. As an E115 instructor I had problem students, I had to answer questions I've gone over a million times, I had to deal with cheating cases, and I had bad days, too. But I never refused to answer a question because it was "beneath" me, or acted short with students -- my attitude remained constant in class and as such, I was evaluated as an instructor who was "enthusiastic and passionate about teaching", qualities that I learned from my favorite professors and wished to portray to others. The only way the salary issue really plays in here is because $X a year (or even 9 months!) should be compensation enough to fake a smile and feign respect for a few hours every week."

things are different in the classroom. TWW isn't exactly a professional/formal/educational setting...

7/31/2008 9:22:59 PM

ok i give you that...but i'm just saying you probably dont realize it but you may actually come off that way

7/31/2008 9:23:34 PM

haha how can you decipher internet mannerisms?

7/31/2008 9:24:53 PM

lol come on...

7/31/2008 9:25:42 PM

professors work more than 9 months

7/31/2008 9:27:36 PM

this isn't grade school. it's not the professor's job to make it interesting. it's the professor's job to teach the material. it's your job as a student to be interested.

True, but wouldn't you say a professor that is enthusiastic and seems a little happy to be there is a more effective teacher than one who acts like they would rather watch paint dry?

7/31/2008 10:00:31 PM

I think a high school teacher's job is to teach the material. In college, there is a level of responsibility that shifts, as college is the pursuit of higher learning, and can't be that way if a professor has to continually catch students up.

7/31/2008 10:16:33 PM

^^ no. i want a professor who comes in and knows exactly what they're talking about, and lectures. not one that wastes time being excited or trying to make it fun. i'm not here to have fun, i'm here to hear a lecture. lectures are, by definition, not fun.

if you want teachers who teach b/c they're excited, go take a philosophy class at a community college or something.

You can be enthused about how interesting the material is & give an effective lecture without wasting time or doing silly things to "make it fun"

7/31/2008 10:40:50 PM

the point is i'm absolutely sick of people crying about having uninteresting teachers. if you're not interested, get out.

7/31/2008 10:47:43 PM

Fortunately, being in a small department has left me with pretty good professors over the years. Even the uninteresting (poor engrish) professors are willing to meet one-on-one whenever someone needs it.

8/2/2008 12:50:46 PM

the simple fact is people will learn the material better when they are interested in it. a boring lecture becomes ineffective compared to a lecture presenting the same material in an 'interesting' way.

8/2/2008 1:19:48 PM

^haha, I still remember being proud of myself on the days I was able to stay awake following Herold's Eng 101 lectures...most boring class I've ever had by a long shot

8/2/2008 1:32:26 PM

I think it's funny that they just changed the URL, but jessiejepp's immediate reaction is that she thinks she's important enough to have "stirred things up too much."

i think those numbers are outdated. My professor makes more than that now. He just got tenure.

I'd be pissed if I was Moeser and a Vice Chancellor made more than me. Especially if it was some fucking Information Technology Service douchebag.
