Two Types Of College Professors

Within the four books we found that between the interactions of three different teachers Junie B. was exposed to PEP styes of teaching, authoritative styles of teaching, authoritarian styles of teaching, and permissive styles of teaching.

As a student you’re not the only that is frustrated. Rose explains how even dealing with the issues and difficulty of a highly respected professor you can still somehow find comfort as a student and learn to deal with the issues of the professor in your own way. Rose also points out that the impact a teacher has on his or her students is very powerful. I know from experience that when you as a student can respect and relate to a teacher your more willing to put as much effort as you can into your own work. Rose

In “To Teach the journey of a teacher” by William Ayers different teaching styles are introduced. The book teaches us that nobody is a perfect teacher. A couple myths from the book include time management is essential to teaching and you learn everything you need to know about teaching in college. Everyone will have off days when they are teaching and it is not going to go perfectly. Also, you cannot really understand teaching until you are actually in a classroom experiencing it for yourself. School may teach you basic skills and situations that you may encounter, but it is not real until you actually experience a crisis for yourself. Some other myths in the book are all teachers treat their students the same and all students will perform above average. Children come from all different backgrounds and start school in different places. There is no way that teachers can treat every single student the same and ensure that they will all be above average. Overall the book was full of myths that show what other people think of teachers.

Even though Professor X comes across as very negative and down on the type of students he teaches, he does think higher education is important. Nevertheless, he seems to contradict himself when he says, “My students and I are of a piece. I could not be aloof, even if I wanted to be” (X). On a grander scale, he believes in higher education, but on a day to day basis, not everyone is up to the task. As stated previously, sighing in

We all have professors, the one that gives us a C average after busting our brain to write a five- page essay; one that gives challenging projects to complete or the one that gives you challenging math problems. On the other hand, we got the one that gives easy tests. Some teachers a lenient with grading, for instance, I had an English teacher that would give us only good grades when we write longer papers. At its best to stay away from the easy professors because knowing the material and understanding it is important. A world-renowned professor at my college offers a class that all other students say is the most insightful and brilliant on campus. However, the professor is a notoriously hard grader. Even though the professor is a hard grader, understanding what I've learnt would be more beneficial regarding to my studies.

I believe that any graduating teacher that attempt to go into a classroom as a teacher must have a management strategy in place and completely organized before attempting any learning. Students will push our buttons and I feel it is important for the students to respect and fear the teacher because otherwise the students will gain complete control of the classroom. I cannot tell you how many times my CT had to hush the students and two minutes later she was hushing them again. Without classroom management all teachers will eventually

In high school many teachers would nag about how college professors wouldn’t care and be helpful but boy where they wrong. Sometimes I wonder if they even went to college. Coming into college, I was quiet afraid that I would not have professors that cared for their students to succeed. I imagined them being mean, strict and stuck-up. To my surprise, all of my professors so far have been more than willing to assist me. They are a fountain of knowledge. Many have given me different types of contact information so if I’m ever struggling with an assignment I can get ahold of them one way or another. One professor even gave us his skype information. Talking to other students, I’ve learned that I’m not the only one who feels like this. They’ve shared with me their wonderful learning experiences that the professors have given them. Where they have great environments and professors who been really supportive. I feel like when professors and students have a good relationship, learning goes

Most people see teachers and professors in the same light. They perform similar tasks. They teach. However, they are separated by a fine line of distinction. High school teachers help a student build a foundation of knowledge, and train the student to focus on learning. College professors help to shape and define a student’s foundation of knowledge, and challenge the student to cultivate the mind. High school teachers and college professors have similar goals and guidelines, but they take a differing approach to achieving the end result. The way the class is conducted, academic expectations, and view of student responsibility are a few of the contrasts between high school teachers and college professors.

High school teachers and College Professors are alike in many ways but in some cases they differ. Most High school teachers will always check your assignments, they will take the lead, and they usually have a quick response time. On the other hand, College Professors don’t always check the assignments, they expect the students to take the lead, and usually have a slower response time. High school teachers and College Professors differ in many ways such as checking your work, how they lead, and their response time. All of these aspects attribute to the learning environment and how they interact with their students.

                Another theory that clarifies my perspective is Canter’s Assertive Discipline. The focus of this theory is to show teachers how to establish a classroom climate in which needs are met by maintaining a calm, productive classroom environment. To achieve this goal the teacher must attend to students’ needs, establish understandable class rules for behavior, and establishing a climate of understanding and trust. I believe that when students and teachers respect one another the climate of the classroom is more pleasant than in classrooms where there is no respect from both the students and the teacher. Canter says that this type of relationship is developed through speaking respectfully to students, a true sense of fairness, and giving

College can be very overwhelming and stressful at times. Many students struggle to keep up with all their assignments and due dates. There are many resources on college campuses that can aid students in time management; paper writing and studying habits, but the main resource that students tend to neglect are their professors. Professors are the ones that are teaching the material, assigning the homework and making the test. Student faculty interactions can be crucial to a student’s success in college. Whether it is for internship opportunities or recommendations, teacher’s jobs are to help students learn and succeed. Teachers are a great, free resource in college that seems to go unnoticed. Student-faculty interactions have major effects on a student’s self-efficacy and academic integrity. These are just a handful of the countless effects of student-faculty involvement.

The paper titled “The Truth about College Teachers” is a former student’s analysis of her past professors. She categorizes them into three categories, the Knowledgeable One, The Leader of Intellectual Discussion, and The Buddy. Overall, this paper was interesting to read but came across as whiny.

The second type of teacher is and ineffective teacher. This type of teacher does not motivate or enthuse their students to learn. My seventh grade teacher was this type of teacher. She was a cake decorating teacher at the vocational center then became a math teacher overnight. At the begging of class, every day she would stand at the board and say class be quiet class shut up. That's all she would say the whole class and we never got anything done. Then if she would try to teach she would read out of the book and never give examples. If a student would ask a question she would say you?re not dumb you know the answer. The teacher always put the students down. According to

     One type of professor in the college system is the helpful professor. This professor can be recognized right away by their smile and joyfulness in the classroom. These professors give upbeat and
