Myths About Student-Faculty Relationships: What Do Students Really Want?
Garko, Michael G.; And Others
Journal on Excellence in College Teaching, v5 n2 p51-65 1994
Undergraduate students (n=64) were asked to describe the ideal student-professor relationship. Results indicate that students want to connect with professors. The desired relationship included equality, mutuality, and respect. Results did not support the commonly-held faculty belief that students want to be anonymous or want professors to be in control, entertain them, be paragons of virtue, or be buddies. (Author/MSE)
