In C++ we'd have to decide if lecturer needs to support move semantics.
- offbyone 6y agoProbably just delete.
- kbenson 6y agoNot if they're tenured. Then you can assume they'll never move.
- swagonomixxx 6y agoProfessor(Professor&&) = delete;
- MikeTheGreat 6y agoMinor detail: lecturers don't get tenure. The job role of 'professor' may be able to get tenure (I think these roles usually do) but 'lecturer' really means 'full time temporary teacher, with a contract for a specified amount of time.
- ineedasername 6y agoI occasionally adjunct. What students call me at the beginning of the semester is always awkward: Them: "Hello Professor" Me: "Technically I'm not a professor." Them: "Okay, we'll just call you Doctor." Me: "Yeah, about that... not a doctor either." Them: "So why are we paying you?" Me: "Technically, you're paying the school. And the school is paying me... very little" Them: "Answer the question" Me: "Because I know stuff that you don't." Mostly they still just call me professor and I feel awkward every time.

- A4ET8a8uTh0 6y agoI don't think you should feel awkward. I refer to all my teachers in emails as professor ( unless I want to list more detailed honorifics ). My current analytics guy is clearly very smart, seems to be in that adjunct zone, but I address him as professor out of sheer respect.

- mcguire 6y agoIf they ever ask "What do we call you?" you should answer, "God-Boss." (Pace Steven Brust.)
- MikeTheGreat 6y agoI knew someone who was TA'ing a class back when they were in grad school. I heard a story about him - to get ahead of this uncertainty he gave the class three options for what to call him: 1) 'Steve' (his first name) 2) 'Mr. Wolfman' (his last name) 3) 'Darth Wolfman' (funny, obvious not meant to be taken seriously, option) Guess what the class overwhelmingly voted for? :)
- anonymousDan 6y agoNot the case in the UK at least.
