Dr. Rajendra K. Gupta Thanks for your insightful response. Well appreciated!!!
Interesting question and reply.
Certainly, it is not easy to answer.
I assume that it needs various qualities and virtues, such as motivation, in-depth study, knowledge, communication skills, critical thinking.
Dr. Konstantinos Karampelas Thanks for your apt contribution. My best regards!!!
I am usually rated very highly by my students, and I asked myself "why" for a long time. I do not want to sound narcissistic or display false modesty in any way. But, I think what has made me excellent and impactful by my students is in part what I teach (business) aligns with my doctorate (that is not always the case) and that I have substantial experience in the field (I was in Fortune 500 and then I started my own corporation). Still, most importantly, I genuinely love teaching and I love my students (storge and agape, not eros). My love of students means I will tutor after hours, I visit students in the hospital, I listen to their fears and concerns, and I wrote a eulogy & nurtured an entire grieving family when they lost their daughter (my student) ... I am more like an older Uncle than a stiff-shirted stranger.
@ Prof. Biff Baker Thanks for your insightful contribution and shared personal experience. Well appreciated Sir.
Yo creo que, el maestro universitario debe poseer, en primer lugar, interés por lo que enseña e interés por los estudiantes, ya que éste es el último nivel académico para muchos y el definitivo, para desarrollarse en la vida laboral y de donde depende su nivel de vida. ¿por qué hay docentes que llegan tarde o definitivamente no asisten a su clase porque tienen otras ocupaciones o eventos?
No vasta con ser profesionista e impartir clases porque se domina un área de conocimiento. En el maestro universitario también se necesitan; competencias, habilidades, virtudes y responsabilidad, para complementar a un ente con conocimientos y valores. Que considere las características cognitivas, contextuales y culturales del alumno, pues, muchos de ellos son estudiantes, padres, madres y trabajadores independientemente de ser estudiantes. Todos ellos con problemáticas y características a considerar, para la buena función y rendimiento académico.
Be careful with "influential"; as misinterpreted, it is disastrous. e.g., influential politically, power plays, personified self-interest. If one wants to be influential and a role model, put your students/people first; understand them and then create and deliver on VALUE-ADDED knowledge, skills, or competencies. Basically it is others before the self, but the self must stand out as a person who delivers what is best and in the interest of others. What you teach must be substantially different and inter-disciplinary, be able to extract the golden nuggets of integrated knowledge.,
Dr. Lucina Martínez Villeda Thanks for your apt contribution. Best regards!!!
Dr. Teay Shawyun Your insightful contribution is highly appreciated. My best regards!!!
It is a whole character. It is about dissemenating ethics,morals, and positive energy by every action in your daily life rather than by words.
It is about being diligent and hard-working in order to frequently update yourself.
It is about being innovative and creating new ways to communicate with your students.
Hajar Alhosseiny Your comment is highly insightful. Thanks and best regards!!!
