I see bloggers falling into three categories.
Pro-bloggers are like professors in that they are they bearers of the current culture. In particular they carry the knowledge that does not get written down in books and they try to impart both book knowledge and their experience on their students (here readers). Pro-bloggers often repeat themselves just [...]

Two Arizona State University professors are trying to dig up new medical cures, studying the use of clay to combat some of the planet's deadliest bacterial infections. The researchers, geochemist Lynda Williams and microbiologist Shelley Haydel, already have demonstrated that certain clays are able to wipe out microbes responsible for MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus), as well as intestinal bugs such as E. coli and salmonella. But they remain stumped as to how it works. "We know they kill bacteria, but we don't know why," Williams said. "The 'eureka' moment - we haven't had that yet." ~ more... ~
A study to be published later this year in the journal PS: Political Science and Politics has shown that, although most campuses across America are decidedly liberal, the effect this has on the political leanings of students over four-year periods is no greater than that exhibited by the larger 18-24 year old population over that [...]
David Horowitz's latest book, The Professors: The 101 Most Dangerous Academics in America, reveals the radicalism that professors are imposing on college students today. He estimates there are 30,000 radical academics who look upon the 3 million students now attending college as targets for brainwashing.

The University professors in Egypt are planning for a strike on the next 23rd of March 2008. This strike is planned by the 9th of March group.Most of the University professors in Egypt are with the strike , of course the minority is from the professors that follow the regime and its orders in order to get positions. Here is the official blog of the Strike, unfortunately it is only in Arabic. The strike includes all the state owned universities in the Republic. The medical services in the Universities hospitals across the country will be continued. The demands of the University professors are asking for are : Better Pensions. 100% immediate increase in the salaries of the professors and their assistants. Cancelling the law No.82 for year 2000.

Two ASU professors hope to change the perception of one Southeast Asian country by integrating it into their classrooms.Mark Woodward, a religious studies professor, and Peter Suwarno, an international letters and cultures professor, were guest speakers at the Seventh Annual Conference on Islamic Studies in Jakarta, Indonesia, last Wednesday, Nov. 21.The two were among a handful of scholars from the Western world at the conference to discuss the future developments of Islamic studies around the world and the key role Indonesia plays internationally."Students don't even realize how much the country of Indonesia affects them," Woodward said. "From the clothes they wear, to the clove cigarettes they smoke and the Java coffee they drink — the influence is everywhere."But for such a highly religious country with more than 200 million of its people identifying as Muslim, Woodward said Indonesia has played a unique international role.Since around 1998, the country has been an example of ho
I do not know what technological and scientific advance this regime is speaking about when it jails some of the best university professors in Egypt and send them to stand in front of the a military court !! I am speaking of those honourable men standing currently in front of a military court ,whose only guilt is their belonging to the Muslim brotherhood By the way I heard that these men are separating between their academic life and their political life I found this in Hatshepsut's blog and I thought it is worth to be spread online "Click on them please for a better view" You may agree or disagree with what the MB believe in and think but if you believe in democracy and freedom than you must agree those men ,especially those men should not stay for another second in jail , their place is not in jail , it is not in military court ,it is the in university class rooms
In his article YouTube U. Andy Kessler suggests it’s the professors. Some highlights:
Without much fanfare, college lectures are being put online, for free. MIT lectures can be downloaded from iTunes University, and you can watch Cal professors pontificate on your computer via YouTube. Is this some new trend? Do colleges feel threatened by Wikipedia? Something funny is going on. No one gives anything away for free without some ulterior motive.
I mean, don’t they know college is big business? Right now, 17 million students are involved in higher education, some higher than others. As a business, college is growing faster than sales of multicolored Crocs. Since 1980, the population of students under 25 has grown 40 percent–and for those over 25, it’s up even more at 52 percent. Is this what your neighbors are doing during the day? Could be. Even better (for colleges, anyway), since 2002 tuition has jumped 35 percent in real terms (that’s adjusted for in
So we all know that professors say some interesting things. Well, I have two this semester who say stuff that make me laugh all the time. One is Professor Curtis. He was talking about the slogan “Be Like Mike” and he turned to me and says “Let’s change it to ‘Be Like Gene.’” Its a great idea, becuase of course everybody wants to be like me, well except for most people. Haha! Professor Curtis is a teacher who never loses your attention. He keeps class so interesting, even though the class is at 8 in the morning. The other professor is Professor Zudeck, or Mr. Zoo. He says that he is believes in hair transplant and is even a donor.” This is because he doesn’t have a lot of hair. He will also repeatedly ask if anybody wants to drop the class after he explains an assignment.
Professor like these are the greatest becuase they always keep your attention and they make you want to show up to class becuase you want to hear what they have t
Do you remember the first part of the movie “Men in Black”, where Will Smith looked at the monitor displaying aliens on Earth, showed at the woman and said:
- Unbelievable! I was sure that this woman, my teacher, was from Mars!
- Jupiter, actually, - his supervisor corrected him.
Didn’t you think about something like this when looking at your professor? I bet you even tried to give him typical characteristics. Most probably, they looked like this: (more…)
Professors all wear glasses. The lenses are usually thick, scratched and dirty (as are the professors).
Men who are professors have a big bald patch at the front. At the back they have either long, frizzy hair or an even bigger bald patch.
Women who are professors have grey hair that looks like cloth. It hasn't been combed since they were 12.
All professors have strange-sounding names. No-one

By Mary Beth Marklein of USA TODAY reports:State learning standards may help high school teachers focus their coursework, but college faculty say they're focusing on the wrong things, says a report that finds a "significant gap" between what high school instructors teach and what college faculty think entering freshmen ought to know.
Brush your teeth during class. While doing so, raise your hand as if you have a question, and mumble your question incoherently while brushing, spewing toothpaste all over the place. If your professor objects to your actions, go on a tirade about proper oral hygiene.
Sit way at the back of the room, up against the wall, to get as far away from your professor as possible. While he/she is lecturing, shout out things like, “What!?” and “Speak up! You’re mumbling!” If your professor advises you to sit closer to the front, tell him/her you can’t because you’re scouting the room for “assassins.”
If you have an early morning class, get there before anyone else, and bring a pillow, some blankets, an air mattress, and an alarm clock. Wear your pajamas. Lie down on the air mattress with the pillow and the blankets and act like you’re asleep. Have the alarm set for about two minutes into class. When it goes off, preferably very loudly,
