Smith, Sandi W.; And Others
Journal on Excellence in College Teaching, v5 n2 p5-22 1994
A survey of 108 undergraduate students (32 males, 76 females) revealed 24 features of an ideal college professor, in three general categories: personal; interpersonal; and related. The prototype included 11 verbal and nonverbal communication behaviors. Female and male students differed in the ranks they assigned to both the general categories and the specific prototypical features of the ideal professor. (Author/MSE)
