Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Those who teach.......
I have the greatest respect for teachers. Many of y'all know that I have returned to school this past year, after finishing raising my family; I have found incredibly awesome, thoughtful professors.
There is an academic debate having to do with the role of the professor at the university level.
Colleges and universities are in some ways the repositories of learning for humanity, and professors are expected to research and further the store of human knowledge, as well as teach. Many universities make this a matter of overwhelming importance (and it is).
There are those, however, who may not yet have made their mark on the world of academic knowledge by publishing articles and so on; however they are outstanding teachers. They win the respect of their students by their time, skill and effort in teaching, but may have their career suffer or have tenure denied because of lack of research.
What do you think? Here is a poll to see how YOU judge the role of professors in higher education.
