What do you mean by "all my tenure professors"? In my whole degree I was never taught by one full professor, they're too busy running their departments to be giving classes to undergrads. I had plenty of senior lecturers or associate professors but not *the* professor, let alone more than one (were they from different departments?)
@forkevbot5 жыл бұрын
@@QuasiELVIS Perhaps where you live it is somewhat different? I had a number of tenured professors who ran courses. I had one in sociology, one in math, one in a critical reading course, and one in physics at least. So quite a wide range of disciplines. It was in the US. It was at a very large university that has a lot of research, and was somewhere between average and ivy league as far as ranking/reputation in most areas. In all of these cases, the professors enjoyed teaching. Also I think maybe I actually had 3-4 tenured professors run my courses in physics (my major) because the department was somewhat small and a large portion of the upper level electives are taught by tenured professors.

Replacing them with a clean, harmless energy source isn't a bad thing, and any sane person would be wise to encourage governments to address the issue of "global warming" even if they do not believe in it, for the sole purpose of creating a cleaner, healthier environment for everybody.

A pretty shocking way to run an industry, and curiously relatively recent. I have met many retired professors who got their first 'grown up job' after their masters degree at age 23-24.

Some people think you must have a phd to be a professor and some are asking do you need a phd to be a professor. First of all, between these two, getting a phd is the easy part. Secondly, no, actually you don't need a phd to become a professor even at a prestigious university, but those appointments are quite rare. You need to have a very distinguished career. To get a famous director to teach film studies, a former president to teach politics, a former Fortune 500 CEO to teach business, etc, a university would appoint them as full professors. For eg, Tim Berners-Lee is apparent a professor of computer science at both Oxford and MIT and as far as I can find he doesn't have an earned phd.

the formal time is 3 years. but it depends on your subject and research. if you doing researching in chemistry and stuff you might need more time because of the experiments. it also depends on if you have funding. if you do and it is for 3 years usually people stick to that period of 3 years because they do not have the money to fund themselves for more years. so an average time i would say is 3 to 5 years (there are exceptions to this however)

The world we live in is a horrible mess, so the purpose of life is obviously to do everything you can to make it a better place. Ofcourse you should take care of yourself so you don't go mad and won't be ablt to do anything, but that's not the main purpose. Politics is the ilusion of making the world a better place, what it actually is, is just glorified budget planning of expenses. The only way to increase our incomes is science. So a life spent just to research, is the most valuable thing you can ever do.

I just meant that you can teach without a ph d, but for the title of professor, you do need a ph d.

If I'm right here, none of that should matter in the slightest. What would matter is the work you've done in your field and your knowledge of the subject. I should think everything else would be negligible.

I also disagree, in high school and primary school my teachers were morons. University lecturers actually know what they are talking about and whether they are good at teaching or not doesn't really matter because in the end you'll always be teaching it to yourself, you just want to know the information you are receiving is correct and that you are being marked by people who are capable.

Does anyone know the analogous process in the US? As I recall, the titles were bachelor's degree, master's, PhD, then post-doc, associate prof, assistant prof, full prof. I don't recall the lecturer steps.
