Sick of biased professors

Members do not see this ad.

Does it seem that science profs, both male AND female, are biased for girls in class, especially in labs? My experience in college has shown me that only the professors that are famously known as great professors and the professors that are known as "from hell" tend to be unbiased. Strange, huh? But the other sect of professors comprise 90% of the faculty. Needless to say, I'm getting tired of it.

You are full of hate and resentment I see. You need to relax dude, go get laid or something and release that premed tension/angst you little gunner.

And actually, while profs/TAs might be nicer to girls they take the guys more seriously.. especially the older professors. If you actually earn their respect, it doesn't matter who they smile at more. Hell, the girls in my research we have half the time just putting things up on high places because we like to watch.

Funny. We do the same thing with the guys in my lab.

Are you kidding ( i sure hope so). Profs arent biased towards either sex. Its the BRAIN that they are impressed with, or in some cases wholly unimpressed.

i guess the original message was edited cause i dont understand it. anyway, proffs are biased in many more ways than one. why else would they keep pounding into our heads that the theory of evolution is actually a fact?

I think they do this because evolution has been observed (and therefore proven)

 

[Medikit]

your life must be so unfair

 

[WelchAg04]

Come now my young-scientist friend...NOTHING is proven, only disproved.





I take that back. In my experience the ONLY absolute is that applying to medical school is a ginormous pain in the a$$!!!!

 

[kash_711]

The Profs at my school are definitly fair but I have to say that those lab TA's go out of their way to help the girls

If you want to get into metaphysics then yes, nothing is proven. If you want to talk reality then yes evolution is a fact. The only part still considered theory is the exact mechanism by which it occures.

 

[Lion-O]

In all the classes where I got an A, the professor was unbiased. If I got lower, they definitely were biased toward females.

 

[SanDiegoSOD]

Biased or not, you still have the chance to get an A in every class that you take, if you work hard enough for it. Id worry less about the "fairness" of a prof and more about how to get ahead in the game.

 

[no-see-um]

Women are preferred for lab work. That's a given.

 

[kinetic]

I prefer that women do my laundry.

BWAH HA HA HA!!!!!

Damn Kinetic, if you were a woman, I'd lick your eyeball.

lol you mean its the BREAST

1) Architech you are an angry, angry little man aren't you?

2) Bewitched, a premed who doesn't recognize evolution....hmm...good luck with that.

3) the "proven" debate....if i remember my bio 101 correctly, theories are valid until they are disproven...so someone please disprove evolution and then we'll talk

Well, there was this one chem prof I had who had a reputation for being "AWESOME." After I took the class I started noticing that it's only the men who thought he was great. They'd all be buddy buddy and go drinking together. He wouldn't give girls the time of day. Later, I talked with a (male) grad student in the lab where I worked and he said that this prof is KNOWN to be a chauvinist. He's very intimidating and dismissive toward women in general. Other than this guy, I've never had a prof treat one gender better than another.

just becuase i like semantics... theories can be valid, but never proven

 

[TTSD]

Theories are theoretically supposed to be the highest form of validation out there. Outside of laws, but laws.. I forget why, falls under a different uber-bracket.

As for evolution itself. Yes, of course evolution happens, it's an undeniable force. But the question is not evolution itself but whether macro-evolution really occurs.

totally agree with ya McP...I think that's what i was saying, i was trying to respond to the "observed (therefore proven)" comment but I forgot to quote it...I like semantics myself

 

[gizmoduck]

This thread managed to go from horny professors to macroevolution....impresssive.

 

[Smooth Operater]

The whole evolution theory is a mixed bay of lies and scientifc facts.


Micro-evolution is a pretty soild proven scientific fact b/c we can actully observe right now. We see changes within a specie all the time. Like human has different colors of hair, skin, eyes etc.. the variation goes on. However,
Macro-evolution is a very weak science fact (it's invalid to consider as science imo) b/c we can't really observe banana turning into a dog, or ape turning into man. All these are imaginations that scientitis are trying to find the missing links for. Btw, one doesn't have to believe in evolution to be pre-med 😛. In fact, I know quite of few doctors with christian faith outta there.

 

[gizmoduck]

My training on molecular biology has only strengthened my disbelief in the concept. Life has far too many layers of redundancy and checks & balances built in to be the result of mere entropy. But let's not turn this into some kind of fundamentalist vs bleeding heart liberal thread. Those make me sad.

Evolution and christianity aren't at odds with each other in my opinion. Evolution (or at least the valid scientific theory of evolution...not the crackpot popular sci/fi view of evolution) does not attempt to account for the creation of life. So i think a lot of chirstian doctors also recognize the reality of evolution...i don't hear a lot of docs shouting "i ain't come from no monkey a-hole!!" 🙂

BTW please don't respond to this with religeous debate, the thread will just get moved to the lounge, and besides i just want us all to get along! 😍

My comparative anatomy professors were leading authorities on using moolecular biology to trace evolution. What they found has been reorganizing and blasting apart the phylogenetic tree in terms of supposed relationships.

 

[strife97]

Evolution, as with most theories, only holds true up to a certain point. I'm sorry but I'll never completley believe that a series of random genetic mutations were responsible for the development of life as we know it on earth. There is no way that you can prove that the precise three dimensional arrangement of biological macromolecules spawned by the supposed "accident" of evolution. Those who accept this evolutionary theory blindly and without question are foolish.

 

[gizmoduck]

Is there an echo in here?

So yeah, back to profs ogling girls. Lord knows I'd stare at 18-24 year old girls if I had a phd.
