Many instructors believe that an informal, relaxed classroom environment is /=6_2t#vA
good for learning and innovation. It is not uncommon for students to have easygoing [l5jPL}6
and friendly relationships with their professors. The casual professor is not necessarily 9/0H,qZc
a poor one and is still respected by students. Although students may be in a @9 S ::
subordinate position, some professors treat them as equals. However, no matter how -1Li&K7
equal professors would like to be, they still are in a position of authority. Sr6'$8#>Y
Professors may establish social relationships with students outside of the JE9v+a{7
classroom, but in the classroom they maintain the instructor's role. A professor may fW2NYQP$:
have coffee one day with students but the next day expect them to meet a deadline for ]gPx%c
the submission of a paper or to be prepared for a discussion or an exam. The professor PM84Z@Y
may give extra attention outside of class to a student in need of help but probably will j_90iP^5:
not treat him or her differently when it comes to evaluating school work. Professors fs#9~b3
have several roles in relation to students; they may be friends as well as teachers. 8` +=~S
Students must realize that when a teacher's role changes, they must appropriately F!#)l*OX;
adapt their behavior and attitudes. A_@..hX(
