In uni I never met a single prof in math/compsci that was passionate about teaching the beauty of the field. Neither had they had training in didactics or something else. They are too removed from the student to even understand their problems.
- jimhefferon 4y agoMany universities set up the rewards to greatly discourage teaching efforts, so even a person with an inclination that way is pushed in the other direction. (I'm at a SLAC and the great majority here are passionate about teaching.)
- bell-cot 4y agoI took a fair number of uni math courses, and experienced a wide range - with many clearly passionate about (& very good at) teaching. OTOH, that was [mumble] decades ago, and I've not heard much good about trends in university teaching since then.
- RamblingCTO 4y agoSure, YMMV, I had very little passionate courses I'm afraid :(
