| Such derision is warranted to anyone without a Phd. who boasts about being a 'professor'. Since no one in this thread (other than our professor of engineering) has even brought up the issue, there is no call for it. All but a few of those with uni jobs that I've ever met recognize they are simply language instructors. Now can we get back to discussing integrity? |
I can't believe that people get their panties in such a bunch about this "professor, not a professor" nonsense....who cares either way? A professor and a teacher are essentially the same thing.
Definition #3 from Dictionary.com:
pro�fes�sor
[pruh-fes-er] Show IPA
�noun
3. a teacher. |

I've been teaching in a Korean university for seven years now. I actually am a real professor. I teach Engineering courses, have a Ph.D. and publish. I'll tell you what I have told all the other similar "English professors" (I'm sure you have published in Internationally Peer-Reviewed Journals and have a Ph.D.  ) |
I have genuine respect for your accomplishments as a PhD holder and author of peer-reviewed articles, but not for your elitist attitude.
I've met people like you in real life, and I didn't like them. |

If the students were upfront at the beginning of the term about their situation, then it would solve a lot of the problems. The problem is the university and the department ASSUMES we know what's going on and yet don't bother to tell us. |
I fully agree with you. thank you for your ideas - I never thought about talking to seniors at the beginning of the semester, but will next year. right now, I've got 1 that hasn't come to class yet, apart from one time to take a quiz (no show/no call for midterm as well, which is automatically a fail with my grading system). Having my dept. TA call his dept. to see what's up with him. I shouldn't have to do this, but I know if I fail him, I'll probably waste more time on him. |

| Integrity in Korea?!? In the hakwan or university system?!?!? You might as well ask a cat to become a vegetarian! |
