Comment on Anon studies Organic Chemistry
Eq0@literature.cafe 1 year agoIn my uni, professors are expected to teach almost 220h/years of in person teaching (correcting doesn’t count, nor preparing), on top of “being a team playing” and doing quite some extra bureaucratic work. Obviously on top of doing their own research. Good teachers (professors that care about teaching quality) look like ghosts by the end of the academic year…

Each college does it differently. Some allow professors to choose research vs teaching, some require a fixed balance.

Never heard of being able to choose

Yup. Some have research-only professors, and some expect all professors to teach classes. It really depends on the university.

Ah, I misunderstood. Yeah, that’s common, but not a choice, they are different types of positions, with different fundings usually. You can’t switch between them
