Do Teachers/Professors have an obligation to be interesting?
I found this question on one of McLeod's blog postings and thought that this was almost a "dumb" question to ask. Yet at the same time, how often have we all had teachers that just bore you to death causing your head to nod. Though this question seems to be easy to answer, I feel as if many of these professors and teachers really have this as a top priority. Personally I have a hard time engaging myself into something that I do not find intrest in. I know that there are things that certain people may just not have any desire to learn about, however, if it is not presenting in such a way many students may not even give it a chance.

I agree with you here. Sometimes I don't understand how we can pay so much money and often times get teachers that seem like they don't even want to be there themselves. I have had this be the case much too often here at MSU.
ReplyDeleteIt does happen often however I think that it is unfortunatly a trend just about anywhere.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Ryan. But this question brings up the issue of even paying to take courses that don't intrest the student but are needed for the major. I also agree with Hayley that this could happen anywhere, but I think that at smaller colleges instructors may be held more accountable becasue the community itself is smaller.
ReplyDeleteEither way it is frusterating.
