▶ Your Answer :
A good educator does not necessarily have to be a famous or brilliant person, but it is more important that how they are evaluated by the students who are actually receiving the education. Although everyone has a different learning styles, if the professor consistently receives
positive feedback from students then it indicates that the professor try their best to be the one who possesses the common features at least what most students prefer with students feedback. This leads me to choose the professor who is popular among students because famous professors among students they are usually recognized as being skilled at teaching and devoting extra time on students’ successful learning experiences.
To begin with, the professor who is popular among students knows how to “teach” the material. One of the biggest struggles the students experience is that although professor is a prestigious and smart, they cannot convey the information properly to the students. The approach and use of language may not be appropriate for students who need to learn new materials. (Why's that?) Most students are satisfied with the lecture when it helps students to understand the concept rather than walking away without anything learnt. (Unessential sentence)For instance, when I was a committee member of the Teaching Award committee for 3 years, more than 90% of students commented on the awarded professor that the professor can teach the material very easily. They also shared that the professor’s learning approach and method are also very suitable for university students, helping them to understand the concept thoroughly. They also said that they never felt falling behind in the classes. It was very interesting that students always value the quality of the lecture over than the fame of how famous the professors is publicly. They also shared that they would definitely recommend this professor for their friends in the future. Hence, considering the professor who is popular among students may help upgrade to know the professorwho can teach the material well to students at students’ academic level.
Moreover, I would choose popular professors among students because students usually recommend the professors who provide extra support and help outside of the class which is a critical factor for teaching me. Usually the lecture is never long enough to ask questions or receive some extra helps on the assignments. (Meaning?) However, it is crucial to have time to receive feedbacks, have discussion with professor and ask questions about unclear concepts for students’ learning. The caring professors usually welcome students with asking for questions and spend extra time with them. As students know this is a very effective learning method, they always express positive feedback about professors. For example, this was reflected on the survey conducted by the MaClean’s magazine which publishes annual report about the university based on students’ opinions. Many students agreed that they recommend the class where suggest their friends the professors who have regular office hours and express willing to support students. They also added that they usually vote the professors for the teaching excellence awards who spent an extra time outside of classes. This clearly shows that it becomes natural the professor becomes popular when they commit their time for students. Hence, famous professor among students can tell me which professor does care about students rather than just being present as a professor only during their lecture.
To summarize, it is never easy to choose professors before actually auditing or experiencing the professor, so students’ opinions or comments about their previous experiences are extremely helpful. Their feedback is reliable as they would have evaluated the professor based upon their teaching experience in class at my level of eyes because they are in the same shoes with me. I always prefer the professor who can teach the materials rather than presenting them and give hands when extra help needed. I believe these factors will all be collected in the students’ feedback so their opinions will be the first marker for me to make a decision. Again, learning from a skilled educator with devoting attitude would be a better asset than learning from someone is just famous in public.
