[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The thing I wonder in all of this is whether profs at SLACs are generally better teachers. I guess the theory would either have to be that you learn on the job (but if and only if the administration cares about teaching). PhDs who end up at SLACs aren't trained any differently from those who end up in research universities and I didn't see that much self-selection at least at the first job stage. Basically, when the market is tight and especially when you're coordinating location with a significant other, you take your best offer. [/quote] Well but at SLACs the focus is on the undergraduates which is not the case at university. I went to an Ivy but I think education my DC is getting at a SLAC is superior -- more faculty attention, more classroom discussion.[/quote]
