ignorant students dictate?

If you argue with a fool, take care you don't become one.  I think the right of a debate at any venue may have to be a majority decision or in this case the decision of the University Board of Governors who may have to stand aside from mob rule and decide what is best for a place of learning not conflict and that might mean giving a platform to a controversial group in the spirit of free exchange of views.  Being pragmatic though they would probobly take the view that there would be rabble rousers there hell bent on causing a riot to make some misguided point

Well I'm glad I'm not the only one to notice these things. No, it is not justifiable. It is annoying. These people probably raised their hands in class saying "pick me...pick me". Ugh.

Students want to know "what's in it for them" if they vote for you.  Whether people acknowledge it or not, people want to know whats in it for them.\n\nBut, don't make empty promises.  Instead tell them you will always present the students needs and be a voice for them back to the school adminitrators.\n\nBe "the voice of the students!"\n\n.

I love teaching smart students and wish I had more of them.  Teaching those types of students is more of a discovery session than a typical lecture/response type of situation.\n\nI tell my students early on in each semester that no one person is smarter than anyone else... it's just that some people are smarter in other areas than others.  I use as an example that I know more about mathematics than any of them (they're all high school kids), but that each of them are better than me at something else.  It makes for a lighter, more friendly teaching atmosphere, without all the intimidation of dealing with a so-called know-it-all.

Yes.  As a matter of fact, I am inclined to believe that the problem at hand is due to a lack of connectivity between college teachers and students.  Many college teachers are haughty and completely forget about how it feels to be in a classroom full of their arrogance.

"... discussed in chapter". I love questions like this, where the student if forced to divine not a correct answer, but one relevant to the the course material just taught.

Galin, you are so right!! I am a stickler for correct spelling,punctuation,etc. Makes you wonder sometimes how much these people actually listen and retain what they hear in school. I am proud that you {a smart person} are on answers. Keep the comments coming!!

I'm a mature student and I agree with you. Many of the students I know are incredibly inteligent, but simply have no common sense, at all.
