Welcome to my Brand New Blog.
This stuff is serious.
I have been doing Research Project lately.
And this is inspired by a great book "Professors Behaving Badly" by John Baxton. John is a real hero of mine: Exposing behaviors of bad professors.
A faculty member publishes an article without offering coauthorship
to a graduate assistant who has made a substantial conceptual or
methodological contribution to the article. • A professor does not
permit graduate students to express viewpoints different from her own. •
A graduate student close to finishing his dissertation cannot reach his
traveling advisor, a circumstance that jeopardizes his degree. This
book discusses these and other examples of faculty misconduct—and how to
avoid them.
Using data collected through faculty surveys, the
authors describe behaviors associated with graduate teaching which are
considered inappropriate and in violation of good teaching practices.
They derive a normative structure that consists of five inviolable and
eight admonitory proscriptive criteria to help graduate faculty make
informed and acceptable professional choices.
The authors discuss
the various ways in which faculty members acquire the norms of teaching
and mentoring, including the graduate school socialization process,
role models, disciplinary codes of ethics, and scholarship about the
professoriate and professional performance. Analyzing the rich data
gleaned from the faculty surveys, they track how these norms are
understood and interpreted across academic disciplines and are
influenced by such factors as gender, citizenship, age, academic rank,
tenure, research activity, and administrative experience.
