lol academia has a bad rep ...there are so many PhDs ppl entering the industry rather than being professors...the post doc that i researched with said he never wanted to enter the academia because of the political shit that goes w/in the system...academia lost its quality for the sake of money and achieving status esp after getting tenured as an Associate professor or just professor...then forget about it..

The industry also has a fair share of politics but not as bad as academia...........it starts mostly at upper level....in academia, it's an inf. dis.

You'll see how the flooding of entrepreneurship happening because you become smart over the time and don't like to waste your training and energy.............

All my bad profs were clinical faculty 😆 you could tell they didn't have an interest in teaching because that's not what they signed up for and the university was forcing them. The academic faculty was awesome though...they were the profs I mentioned earlier who actually cared and were available.

I knew.......that's why explained...........clinical guys and undergrad combo may not be a good option........

usually universities send out surveys about reviewing the professors' teachings but i particularly feel that they are useless otherwise i wouldn't be seeing so many students criticize the professor...again it depends on how the university handles it but in my case, I've seen them as particularly useless...either you like the professor or don't ...students developed their own methods of learning and the professor takes credit despite teaching like an idiot..

@Bold this is very true...tbh college is more about if you can teach yourself a whole class by using a textbook and some slides that have copy&pasted information from that same textbook that you had to buy. I hate those profs who just read off their slides or teach as if we were born knowing Orgo...I had a bunch of self-confidence issues after taking that class

I did amazing in Orgo 1 but when I took Orgo 2 (adv)...I just couldn't wrap my head around it. My sister took this class taught by a different professor and she did really well. Now I shouldn't be fully blaming my prof because when I got stressed and didn't understand anything, my brain shut off and I started self-pitying myself a lot which is never the best solution. If there is a will, there is a way

@bold..........that's what is the ultimate

hmm, there are electives that students can choose on their own will but my university also required every student irrespective of the major to take religion/theology courses which is what i didn't like ...the professors were amazing but it wasn't something that i wasn't into...i ensured to get rid of those cores in my first three semesters...i didn't want to take summer courses because they were expensive/no scholarship offered...

@bold - I went to a public university so I didn't have to deal with that. We have a religion/theology department and you can take classes with them if you want but it wasn't a requirement. My friend took a class on hinduism and she would ask me bunch of questions and I never knew how to answer anything 😆 because they teach so in depth in a very scholarly manner.
