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.
Expect
The Unexpected
You
may have had a wild range of different professors
in your past but expect it to get wilder
in business school. While a Master's and
or Ph.D. are still required for most teaching
posts, some business professors are younger,
more energetic and at times do not fit in
the traditional ''profile'' of a teacher.
