This would not work, often students perceive strict professors has being bad because they give too much work load or are too strict. It also goes against excellent researchers who are contributing a lot to science but are not great teachers. Often these are "forced" to teach by their university because otherwise they don't get grants.
I am not in academia, but in retrospective some of my greatest professors where very hard to deal teachers with huge fail rates. Most students hated them.
- debacle 11y agoI've never had a bad STEM professor who was proficient in English. I don't know if I've just been lucky or if this is a common misconception about the role of a teacher versus a professor.
- maw 11y agoI think you were lucky. I definitely had some miserable professors and TAs who were native English speakers. And some professors and TAs with comically bad English but who were good at what they did anyway.
- debacle 11y agoYeah I had plenty of good ESL professors but I also had a few that, try as I might, I could not learn from.
- ohfunkyeah 11y agoResearchers who are forced to teach, and are bad teachers because of this, SHOULD be fired from teaching. If the university doesn't value their research alone enough to justify their employment they probably should also be fired altogether.
