Exactly, the qualities of good teachers are very different from the qualities of good researchers. I think some researchers need only training and learning some efficient teaching methodologies to be good teachers. It is hard to separate the two jobs as universities need both and researchers are more credited for their research. Instructors, who are not professors, miss the opportunity to improve themselves as they are not in contact with the recent research in their fields.

One of the big problems I had in classes is that some instructors usually give less time to the basics. In their opinion, it is easy and so they just mention it without checking that students already got what they said. I think that as you said, instructors should make sure that their students can following them.

Yes, that’s true. We always assume that an expertise person in some area is the best one to teach it. This could be true only if this person has the teaching skill OR he dedicated enough time to learn good ways to communicate with the audience. I think rehearsing in front of different people is very valuable in that someone finds his weak points and be able to better deliver the information.

You raised many good points in this comment. I think in the academic career, professors are much evaluated by their research activity rather than teaching. I think this not going to change as, you know, research is what brings funds to faculties / students. I feel that some people may be talented in teaching, however others can still be good teachers by learning and practicing.

Of course, balancing is very important. You should at end keep in the topic boundaries. What I meant here is that professors try to rehearse and practice a lot so that they are able to answer even surprising questions. If they really understand what they teach, they will be able to find “correct “answers to whatever they were asked. Of course, some other questions still need more search, but professors will be able to answer the majority of questions through improvisation.
