watching college freshmen realize you’re supposed to teach yourself is so good

Orrrrrrr, high school teachers’ jobs are generally dependent on their students learning and college professors aren’t.

Isn't it fair to say that generally, college professors are not required to have teaching training? In my experience, colleges hire based on content knowledge and not training in educational practice.

Ok, long comment incoming. I teach college composition and ALSO love telling my students about how qualifications and concessions are rhetorical assets for them, when it comes to making complex claims for our research projects. But as a fellow rhetorician, I think we could read OP’s post a little bit more rhetorically, with an eye to genre and audience. Instead of telling this young woman to qualify or hedge every part of her post’s statement for rhetorical effect (for what audience?), i would first consider the rhetorical strategy underlying why the intentional choice to boost her statements, the opposite of hedging. If you study rhetoric, i assume you also understand how being hyperbolic can be its own rhetorical strategy, especially on algorithm-driven social media. You pointed out unqualified statements are more bold and sensational, but fail to consider why that would be advantageous for her as a writer/composer. My guess is she is likely looking for commiseration from fellow college students (maybe older ones with more of an explanation for this educational culture shock) and needs to get on people’s FYP’s in order to do that. An ultra-hedged statement is more defensible argumentatively, sure, but almost certainly less funny, and less likely to resonate with her intended audience so strongly. If she posts with hedged hyper-specificity to her own school, her own 3-5 professors, it’s not clear she’s trying to call in other college students at other schools, who have different professors. Specificity would make sense if she was filing a complaint to the administration, or complaining in a class/roommate/sorority group chat, but she’s posting on public social media for an audience that presumably extends far outside of her own classes and own school. Hence: generalization.

college professors are not taught teaching skills nor are they required to have teaching experience and college would be improved if professors were coached in teaching skills by the college

Just going to throw this out there, by college you are expected to know how to teach yourself. When you go to class and listen to lecture they are telling you the pertinent information you should know in addition to what is in the text book. It’s how you discern what will be on exams.

In my city's university, you're assumed capable of teaching if you have a Phd, no teaching certification required!

I TA as a part of my graduate program it’s a generalization but the content gets dumbed down and waste so much of my free time to make it easier for students who won’t read the instructions and then complain about how hard or little the prof teaches the material

Haha love that your comments are basically exactly what your video is about. Tbf to the young lady, I think her statement might also be an issue of age and lack of knowledge of how there are different classifications of colleges.

Love this video and the debate it’s generating is important! I get to work with a lot of faculty who work very hard doing extra unpaid workshops and trainings and reading groups to become better teachers and I wish more students could see how hard some of their instructors work. It understandable that their experience in the class is their only one, but it feels like ships passing each other in the night sometimes to me

I cant stand when people dont even provide context for what they're talking about -_- Especially when there are so many conflicting opinions on the same subject

Do they not know how to teach or do you not know how you need to amplify your learning? 👀

In college you are supposed to be a good student. You are supposed to know how to study and review on your own. I’m also an AP teacher and my kids always ask for a review day

A friend of mine always trys to justify her use of harmful generalizations by saying its commonplace and that everyone speaks in generalizations so that makes it ok for her to do as well 💀😭

I had very good college professors, aaaand I had one that openly admitted he "doesn't know how to grow young people's minds" while talking about how professors don't need education degrees. So I can see both sides of this argument. 😁

I’ve seen a couple of those kinds of videos, and I also can’t help but to wonder if it’s a knee-jerk reaction to flipped classrooms or other class structures that are ~definitely not~ like K12

Low key depends, college usually has theorist-based professors (research and PhD) and practical application professors (job/world experience)

J.P.H :
I gotta push back on the whole "make the statement qualified to you" because at the end of the day you'll have comments like the ones in this section basically calling people either dumb or ignorant because they can't "teach themselves". And in terms of this woman's generation, all saying "most of my college teachers suck in teaching me" will do is make people make fun of her and call her stupid.

I had the worst learning experience with a nutrition class. there was zero continuity between classwork/quizzes/tests. each work assignment for the same chapter had a different focus. it was like it was pieced together like Frankenstein

as a research I often suggest that "if you are going to make that bold a statement you better bring the receipts (aka citations)"

i had ONE professor that was so bad at teaching that we the students realised he took slides from google because its the same slide we used to self study. i was so so pissed not only at him, but also at the rest of the students because they liked him so much for being "chill".
