[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just because you have a Ph.D. doesn't make you a good teacher, especially at research institutions. [b]The focus is on research and research dollars, teaching is just a requirement.[/b] They have zero training in developing or delivery curriculum - they have zero incentive to do it well. Some will but many have to ensure they are bringing in the funds for the department. For my kids I want to make sure they being taught the topic by someone who is knowledgeable and committed to education. That is easier said than done. [/quote] This has been changing--there is more emphasis on evidence that you are a decent teacher in hiring now, even at research institutions, and even at research institutions about 30-40% of your evaluation is based on your teaching.[/quote]
