Behind the grade book: Confessions of a university professor

by Liudmila

Created on: February 04, 2009   Last Updated: June 04, 2010

University is a special world that signs everybody who was so fortunate to become a part of it. Ordinary persons - young and sometimes not very young - enter it's rooms on their first day of study. You assist their growth, changes in their way to see the world around them, in their way of thinking. Slowly, they assume the likeness of an expert, become more and more sure in the speciality they chose. And than, finally, comes the day when you open the hands and let them fly away. Ugly ducklings are magnificent swans now. Young and fresh, they are progress and future. And you are proud to be a creator of them. That is why I love my profession.

To the persons that are able to study and like it, I always advise them to enter the university. It is a good decision in any age. Make your brain work if you are not so young. All the researches tell us it's the best prevention of terrible degenerating illnesses like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. If you are a believer, remember what was said about it: if you know that you have to die this evening, you have to study all this day. We speak not about the death, no, but we want to remain with healthy mind as long as possible.

Somebody said me once: imagine me among all that teens! Believe me, you will feel as young as they are. And they will accept you if they know you are a part of their group.

University education is very different from any other. We share high levels of knowledge that mankind possesses in our specialization. Educated and trained as an expert of high level, a person acquires particular value in our society that allows him/her to take up good positions in business and to have better life conditions. That is why every student has to learn as much useful information and skills as possible when study. The role of the professor is to transmit this understanding. The dedication of the student and time spent following the requests of the professor will facilitate his/her job in future. These aims are a very powerful motivation if you think about it.
