Well played...I was only a Sith Lord in my office hours.

[ToJesusMyHeart]

Novice! Catch up.  ;)

[Nihil Obstat]

I skipped today, but gut instinct tells me my professor went as an extremely dry and boring British guy. :|
No offense to him, but he is really boring.

[ChristinaTherese]

I came on here wondering if I could say how I actually have more amesome profs.... Nope. You win.

 

ETA: Well, my prof in the only class I really had today didn't shave and took a tricorn hat that he didn't wear... not more awesome than yours.

I had a professor Snape. Well, he was a lecturer, but he was named Snape and even gave a lecture entitled "Defense against the dark arts"

[WillT]

That looks painful.

It would be cool if botany professors dressed up as Professor Sprout and taught "herbology" today.

Too many college students already major in "herbology."

My prof is a B.A, (Saskatchewan), S.T.B., (Regis), M.Div.,(Toronto School of Theology), S.T.L., (Gregorian), M.A., M.Phil., Ph.D. (Candidate), (Yale)

He gives really hard assignments.

i thought professors were only qualified if they had doctoral degrees, and people with only masters degrees were called teaching assistants.

Maybe Canada does it different

Lilllabettt,

 

in Canada, it seems to be highly dependent on the university and the program one is in. Just about all MA students here work as TAs; their duties differ between departments, but they are never the sole teacher of a class.  PhD students are typically a sessional instructor at least once, and some do get hired at universities when they're ABD. PhD students also act as TAs - in many cases, it pays way better to be a TA than to be an instructor. I saw one university recently hiring for a tenure-track assistant prof where if you got your PhD in hand by the end of the employment, you'd be on to tenure track and if you didn't, you still retained the assistant-prof title for your resume.
