The
Business Minded Academic
This
individual is also an academic at heart
but they view school as a business. They
love school and cherish the purity of the
classroom. They like the idea of playing
a part in your development. They may have
done their thing in business and now wish
to give back. Whether they failed or succeeded
is not the issue. What is important is that
they drill you the way a senior manager
would. They view teaching as a job, and
your education as a form of military training.
Teaching is not so much of a calling for
them as it is a mandate. They view the classroom
as a department, the class as a project
and themself as the division manager. This
type is smart enough to know that some of
you will either go on to become a prized
commodity in their company or excel at another
firm. They do not believe in suffocation
but emphasize discipline and responsibility.
This professor will never make your life
easy, because ''business and life is not
easy.'' Their tough grading is a reflection
of this mantra. The business minded academic
makes for the best business teachers of
all.
