Exactly. This is coming from the guy who touts the "fact" that he's in a "Ph.D." program at UT while, at the same time, is incapable of realizing that a declaration of fact is not an opinion. The requirements for entry into that doctorate program must simply be having a pulse.

Actually it would surprise you to know that I got in based on merit alone... and your tax dollars are paying for my scholarship. I'll put my accolades and accomplishments against yours any day of the week, but at the end of the day what I'm most proud of is that I can go through a day without bullying and bashing another person. Having a bit of integrity is worth far more than any degree hanging on the wall.

I get up and go to work everyday as a college professor - hoping to teach kids the valuable lesson of not growing up to be like you. Start treating people with a little respect and you might see that people respond and treat you a little better.

I took issue with him saying no one was looking at Martin, which was 100% complete garbage. And no, I never agreed with him; you see, when he says things like, "no BCS school was beating down the door for Martin." And then I respond with, "except for GT, Missouri, and Purdue had Painter left." That's not agreeing with him. But, very nice try by deleting that part of my post to pretend that I was agreeing with him.

I agree, but Volstylexx was obviously being hyperbolic. Sorry for misquoting you, I must have made a mistake somewhere. I realize the quote I posted helps my case, but I truly did not intend to cut it off. Apologies.

As you can see, that's not just being sarcastic. That's called being 100% wrong.

It is not true that people outside the MVC didn't know Cuonzo. You are correct, and I'm sure everyone is aware that plenty of people outside the MVC knew him. For this reason, the most sensible thing to do would be to realize that Volstylexx's comment was sarcastically hyperbolic.

Agreed. This one is definitely an all-timer. Nice post, Volstylexx.

So you already have your PhD? Don't confuse teaching and lecturing with the title of "professor." That's an undergrad mistake.

I doubt any 24-year-old Ph. D holder would be lecturing at UT. Pellissippi, much more likely. Condescending Kelly.

According to him, he's just in the Ph.D. program. He doesn't have the degree yet. Thus, he's not a professor at all. I know, shocking.

I wouldn't say that. I knew Master's STUDENTS who taught a lecture class at UT. Hell, I gave a few lectures when a master's student at UT. The price of Research One university. I'm just saying that doesn't make you a "professor" when you get up in the morning.

Oh ok. Since you were distinguishing between "lecturing" and "teaching", I assumed you were also distinguishing a formal lecture from a class that's technically called a lecture, but is really a full-blown class discussion.

OK, I'm a little biased on this subject because I am trying to earn a GTA spot either here or FSU for music theory. The GTAs at both institutions teach "Aural Skills" or "Ear-Training" undergraduate classes to music majors. These classes are very important for a musician's functionality and sufficiency. In this case, the GTAs are pretty important since superior aural skills are a tremendous tool for musicians....Just my :twocents:

Well, when you're the Professor of Facebook at UT, you can pretty much tout whatever you like. We all witnessed its power by the effectiveness of the "Keep Bruce Pearl" Facebook group.

As I went on to describe, the graduate students (GTAs) would teach these Ear-Training classes as university employees in exchange for a tuition wavier and a multi-thousand dollar annual stipend. In these classes, students study various aspects of pitch relation in music. The ultimate goal is to teach students to be able to dictate music they hear. They are tested by actually writing the music they hear on staff paper (given the starting pitch) and by sight-singing recitations (a random written melody and starting pitch is given to a student, who must be able to sing the written music by themselves, with no other kind of help).

Awesome stuff. I'd be interested in seeing if I could dictate or sight-read anymore.

That's pretty cool. I have never figured out how people can write the music they hear. Always seems like to be good at it, you must have some level of natural talent.

you clearly must not know much at all about teaching and being a professor. Shocking.

You can be a professor with a bachelors degree and at most schools with a masters. The PhD is only about getting tenure - but i'm sure you already knew that. You're very wise to be 24. Is there anything you don't know?

Thanks, gentleman, for quoting this. I am in tears after that inspiring tale of a guy that thinks he's a professor when he doesn't have a Ph.D.. That's certainly one for the archives.

Hey law... I've gone ahead and emailed Websters that you will be contacting them tomorrow to let them know that their definition of "Professor" is incorrect... I'm sure they will correct their oversight ASAP and make sure it matches your definition. I'm not sure how they could have overlooked this when they published the dictionary.
