- W3041820912 abstract "P ERHAPS no teachers in this country give less consideration to or take less stock in pedagogical theory and practice than do college professors. Few teachers in college or university, in the biological sciences at least, have ever had special training in the theory and practice of teaching. Whether this is necessary or even desirable I am not saying. It is my opinion, however, that much of the criticism now leveled at the college student because of his disinterest in his scholastic work ought rather to be directed against the professors who teach him. My own experience as a student and as a university professor, for now some thirty years, satisfies me that the average professor teaching college students has little method in his madness. I myself do not pose as an expert in pedagogy, nor would I claim complete immunity from the above indictments. I only marvel that we scientists practice so little science in our teaching. The procedure in presenting laboratory courses in biological subjects today is, with rare exceptions, that introduced half a century ago: one or more laboratory exercises per week in which all of the students study the same subject and the same material under the solicitous guidance of immature instructors, a lecture or two by the professor, a mass recitation conducted by one of these same instructors or, rarely, by the professor himself, and a voluminous weekly report which is usually only a slovenly and inaccurate misalliance of poorly digested laboratory pickings. In addition, the student frequently has to hand in, for correction (sic) by the overburdened instructors, notes he has taken during the professor's lecture. This is rarely complimentary to the professor, of no interest to the instructor, and of questionable value to the student. This, in brief, is the system in vogue, at least in most American colleges and universities. During the first twenty years of my career as a teacher in Cornell University, I followed this general system with a degree of faith and devotion" @default.
