As with any job, there are conflicting pressures…

And different constituencies view professors differently…
![Page 21: Thurgood Marshall College 1. Mechanics of this course: Show up twice each week: 1.Lecture: 1 time/week 2.Discussion section: 1 time/week Grading: 1.FYE](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070401/56649f1c5503460f94c31b68/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

How students see professors:
How the administration sees professors:
How professors see themselves:
I am a teaching machine.
I bring in research $$$.
I am the Einstein of our time.
There is some truth in all of this: Professors play many different roles on campus.
teacher researcher expert + great thinker
![Page 22: Thurgood Marshall College 1. Mechanics of this course: Show up twice each week: 1.Lecture: 1 time/week 2.Discussion section: 1 time/week Grading: 1.FYE](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070401/56649f1c5503460f94c31b68/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

So what is a “Lecturer”?
• Lecturers usually have similar credentials to professors• Ph.D. or other degree, depending on field
• Some lecturers hold permanent positions:• Like a professor, but focused on teaching• Often involved in research related to teaching
• Some lecturers are external people brought in to teach 1 course• Usually not involved in research• Expert on subject matter• May not know much about UC San Diego
![Page 23: Thurgood Marshall College 1. Mechanics of this course: Show up twice each week: 1.Lecture: 1 time/week 2.Discussion section: 1 time/week Grading: 1.FYE](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070401/56649f1c5503460f94c31b68/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23
Why do I care about: Different levels and types of instructors?
![Page 24: Thurgood Marshall College 1. Mechanics of this course: Show up twice each week: 1.Lecture: 1 time/week 2.Discussion section: 1 time/week Grading: 1.FYE](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070401/56649f1c5503460f94c31b68/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

(3) Different levels of teaching quality • Some faculty are excellent teachers• Others, not so much
• Not really related to Assistant/Associate/Full distinction• LSOEs often good teachers, up-to-date on pedagogical techniques• Find out who the good ones are• Course and Professor Evaluations (CAPE)• Ask people who have had that instructor before
• For courses which are optional, you can choose based on who’s a good teacher

I’m here for an education.
Why do I care about the rest of the mission?
![Page 33: Thurgood Marshall College 1. Mechanics of this course: Show up twice each week: 1.Lecture: 1 time/week 2.Discussion section: 1 time/week Grading: 1.FYE](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070401/56649f1c5503460f94c31b68/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
33
Why do I care about: Research Mission• Research Mission• About 4400 institutions of higher learning in the U.S.• About 5% are research universities• You are at one of them
• Possible disadvantage:• For most professors, teaching is not #1 priority
• Possible big advantages:• Learning from someone who is creating new knowledge in the field• Some undergrads do research
Find out from CAPE or from senior students who’s a good teacher
