Message | G'day Mark, I enjoyed your 'Robot' novels enormously and am giving some of your 'own' work a crack. Half-way through 'Realtime' which is excellent so far. Cheers Dave |

Message | interesting post about the teaching position. I myself am ABD - I simply stopped caring and never bothered to go the distance and defend. Several years ago a friend of mine at one of the Big 3 local universities called me in a panic - they had lost their "associate professor" for a masters course on a niche subect. A niche subject of which I am considered a local "expert". They called me, I said "sure", they printed the syllabus and everything and sent me a huge packet of forms to bring in the week before classes were to begin. When they found out I had never bothered to waste the the case of paper and $400.00 on robes, they summarily dropped me as "unqualified". Too bad for them, as they have yet to be able to fill that particular course's teaching slot. Apparently there are *no* experts who are qualified for their (abysmally poor) program. Be proud you stayed away from schools. They only teach you to conform, not to think. There hasn't been a "thinking university" since CCNY became CUNY - RPI & certain areas of MIT excepted. |
