so she doesn’t like students too much. so what? it’s not her job to kiss your *** and attend to your needs, it’s her job to a) work on her own research and projects and b) teach students effectively, which need not mean nicely. she’s not a high school teacher: in general, college professors at big schools like nyu are hired to conduct their own research AS WELL as teach. she’s not just a teacher.
As a fellow college professor, we’re *also* there to care for students. If you don’t give a rip about the lives and concerns of your students to where you’re creating a facade to avoid dealing with the unwashed masses with all of their problems, go to All Souls or the Institute for Advanced Studies where it’s not part of the job to care.
What a heartless thing to say about real people with real problems; that you fake being busy so that you won’t have to sully yourself with their issues. Horrible, horrible.
In one breath, she says that she “erects a shield” to keep students from thinking that she has the time or interest to spend any great amount of time carrying on with them about their issues, and in another, she says to go to your professor if you’re having a problem. Personally, after watching those two middle responses she gave on the allegations of her being preoccupied and scatter-brained, I would be afraid to go to her if I ever were having trouble in her class.
what arrogance, the person who hired her should be fired. i don’t care what credentials she has, to undermine students by pretending to be busy is a pathetic excuse. all she is dong is hiding in the ivory ower because her people skills would not last five minutes in the business world.
Oh Craigy-boy and the other whining students around here, come on, stop fooling around - the REAL BUSINESS WORLD…
Do you know what you’re talking about?
True scientific work only WORKS without too much pressure from stupid shareholders or fat selfish salesmen!
And btw what is your real world worth? Your business world heroes are right now producing a recession that will affect the western world, just because they wanted to see more and more bucks in THEIR own egoistic money bags.
Grow up and do your part and don’t criticise people that have already earned their status!
It’s very sad that someone needs to “erect a shield of business” to make themselves unavailable and make themselves feel important by avoiding their students. The fact also that she put this on camera means that she really doesn’t care about the repercussions of her actions and how her actions may effect her students. She seems to have a complete and total loss of pedagogy.
I agree with Matt. I would also like to say that any REAL professor wouldn’t worry about RESPONDING to someone talking **** about them online, but would rather use the feedback to better themselves as a teacher or disregard it as eggs thrown by some bitter student who couldn’t pull a D.
“I’m not that interested. That’s not good use of my time.” What, teaching? Coddling students isn’t, but making sure they know how to do what you’re asking of them is part of teaching.
Hey, studentstopsobbing! Let me get this straight? It’s not ok for a business person to abuse his status to make more money, but it is ok for a professor to abuse her status to not even bother with her students? I agree with her that there are plenty of students who a professor just doesnt have time to deal with, but her way seems unfair to the students who work hard and genuinely want and need a little help once in a while.
And what gives you the right to make these assumptions about Craig? “Your business world heroes”? That is completely inappropriate in this conversation. We aren’t arguing the economy here. The point Craig was making, which may or not be valid, is his belief that those who can, do, those who can’t, teach. Obviously you have some issues about the economy, but please don’t waste all of our time by ranting about in a forum about professors’ conducts!
I don’t know how you guys are thinking this all through, but there are two ways of looking at this. 1) Yes she’s built up a shield just so she could run away from students and not talk about their problems. If she’s doing it simply because she doesn’t give a **** about the students and wholeheartedly wanting to teach because she loves teaching and helping others out, then yes that does make her a complete a**h***. BUT 2) If she’s putting up a shield because she doesn’t want to talk to the students who are really f***ed up in the head, then yes of course she isn’t required to talk to them. She isn’t your mama, she isn’t here to teach you how to deal with all the mean and cruel people in the world, and she isn’t here to hold your hand when you’ve made a booboo. If this is why she puts up her shield then KUDOS to her. I’m a 23 year old college student, and I have no respect for students who just don’t give a f*** about doing the actual work and study, and yes they deserve to fail in her class. In the BUSINESS WORLD, why should you be given money if you don’t do the work simply because you think it’s “too hard”? However, if she does it because she’s being a stuck-up b****, then yes she is a pathetic excuse of a teacher who ruins the integrity of what a professor should be, and she should be fired.
