The professor and the student


RECENTLY, I was interviewed by a radio station about the incident captured in a viral video in which a professor berates a student in an online class because he does not have a computer. One of the questions I was asked was what is the best relationship a professor and a student should have.

I would like to share the opinion about this that I have come to hold after 17 years as a professor and 35 years as an academician. And I hope this week’s column will not only interest readers but also provoke thought among the young generation of academicians and professors and those thinking of pursuing this vocation.
