Too
many full time faculty members confuse their profession with
their field of expertise. If they are tenure track or tenured,
their profession is teaching.
You
can say almost anything by way of criticism to a student as
long as you do not show anger or ridicule.
The
educational process consists of teachers asking and students
responding. The quality of education is determined to a greater
extent by questions than by responses.
The
quality of education is measured by what students can do rather
than by what the teacher has done.
Learning
can be spontaneous but education is planned and structured.
Respect
between teacher and student is more important in education
than liking or disliking one another.
“Cutting
edge” is a buzz word and not the cornerstone for an educational
philosophy.
Educational
theories that sound bizarre and unrealistic probably are bizarre
and unrealistic.
Faculty
members devoted to research might not make the best teachers—they
normally have neither the interest nor time to be seriously
involved with teaching.
