Many instructors believe that an informal, relaxed classroom environment is $;uWj|
good for learning and innovation. It is not uncommon for students to have easygoing 2~WFLD
and friendly relationships with their professors. The casual professor is not necessarily ClMtl59
a poor one and is still respected by students. Although students may be in a R P:F<`DB|
subordinate position, some professors treat them as equals. However, no matter how =j+oKGkoCa
equal professors would like to be, they still are in a position of authority. 6~h1iY_~
Professors may establish social relationships with students outside of the `3y!XET
classroom, but in the classroom they maintain the instructor's role. A professor may >9<8G]vcH
have coffee one day with students but the next day expect them to meet a deadline for @=NVOJy}c
the submission of a paper or to be prepared for a discussion or an exam. The professor _lPl)8k
may give extra attention outside of class to a student in need of help but probably will jUJTcL
not treat him or her differently when it comes to evaluating school work. Professors 8jjk?PUD8
have several roles in relation to students; they may be friends as well as teachers. '+!S|U,{
Students must realize that when a teacher's role changes, they must appropriately W]D`
