[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, visiting professors are a good thing. Are you just upset cause you’re paying $90k?[/quote]
I’m frustrated, because a college that gets 90k per full pay parent and has billions should be able to staff 6-10 faculty per department. My DC having 3 out of her 5 classes with visiting professors is an issue. She wanted to do a fellowship opportunity conducting research with an amazing professor but whoops- they’re visiting and leaving next year. She also needs rec letters from her department but the intro is left to the visiting staff so she has to wait for the appropriate faculty member to start opportunities. That is an issue.[/quote]

I went to two state flagships that are acceptable to DCUM.

As far as I can recall, I did have two 3 credit classes taught by TAs in undergrad.  One just as good as any other professor (Accounting 101) and the other only ok but friendly (Business Statistics 101).  Those two classes aren't the kind where it matters whether the teacher does cool independent research, is a celebrity, or anything.  The Accounting 101 TA was one of the only teachers I had in college who talked about anything related to working/career advice/getting a job. So I appreciated her.

I had only two visiting professors across undergrad and MBA.  Both were experienced senior professors on sabbatical from their home institutions.  Their classes were kind of meh, actually.

All my other profs were some literal type of professor.  There was no correlation between teaching quality and title. [/quote]
