Which of the professors you had in college was a model for your career? Why?
This is something that has been on my mind for a couple of years now. I have given this a lot of thoughts and have sort of figured out what specific people in my degree years and even high school and even later stages were more influential.
I try and remain to the point. One of the most important one of them was my sociology lecturer when I was doing my bachelor. He was young but very active and knowledgeable and updated with recent research. In addition, he engaged with his students in a professional but yet very friendly manner. He used to use the students' cafeteria and didn't spend much time in the lecturers dedicated area.
He dressed casually. He had long hair and facial hair (I like from before him). These were all somewhat aligned with my image of the one "who knows" but yet remains cool with it. The positions of "knowing" and yet knowing that "I might not know" ... he seemed settled in his uncertainty; a quality that I tried to adopt in my career.
I hope these are useful to you.

My teacher late Emdadul Islam for whom I am here . May Allah grant Jannah for my beloved teacher . Ameen.
Luckily many such type of teachers and professors.Always difficult to chose.After joining RG ,I have found many wonderful professors and researchers who are tremendous source of information and inspired me a lot.
In fact I am glad to have had the opportunity to work with several professors throughout my undergraduate and graduate career. I admire the life style of all the professors I have met because they are very responsible and have the goodwill to mentor and trained students to become better leaders in our society. For this reason, my long term career goal is to become a professor and contribute my quota to the development of the scientific community and also help the young generation for a better future.

My another teacher, Sardar Abdur Rashid , who taught me tirelessly without any benefit.
Some professors were model of genuine knowedge , while others were symbol of disciplined and organized life.
Dear Laura Bulgariu
Can you share with us your reason? High school teachers are often role models. Since the question was about professors, was there any model for your career at university?
It is interesting that all career models are necessarily “positive” models for a student. For example is a professor is busy in clinic caring for parents, he or she—if scheduled to see a student “to see a doctor in action“—May be taken aback as the physician “cares for—a difficult patient. The mis-timing of this “difficult patient-physician” encounter observed by the student may be a “negative weight” the student carries with him or her the rest of his or her life.
A humble genius professor who gives his students his experience and knowledge without limits and inspires new scientific ideas.
Laura Bulgariu Do you know a university professor that is your career model? Since you are a professor, do you think you are or will be a career model of your students?
Thank you Quan Hoang Nguyen
Yes I know. Not many, some special persons. I do not know if I am a model for my students, but I try to be.
Dear Laura Bulgariu ,
Can you share with the readers know in what perspectives that the special persons are your career model?
Only one was tackling my favourite subject in a practical way. All the others were boring.

I had some wonderful teachers. They had a perfect way of teaching or transferring knowledge, always available for conversation and communication, full of knowledge, regularly giving lectures and being realistic in assessment.
Is it advisable to write the teachers names here publicly? I think its not.
A teacher is a teacher, good or bad. I respect all of them, irrespective of their quotients, capacities and capabilities. Respectful regards to every Professor who taught us.
