Professors: the Good, Bad and the Ugly

Beauty Is In The Eye Of The Beholder

Whether they know it or not, all professors play a part in students' development. Class clown, class loudmouth or class president, seeking respect from teachers sets the tone for a successful career. After all, in an ideal world, a professor only needs 20% of the class time to spur 80% of class discussions from students. This is an extension of the Pareto principle, a widely used metric that states that 20% of causes will create 80% of the results.
