Hi all, I had actually posted this topic over at ID forum and two somebodies advised me, a small nobody, to put my questions over here to everybody about the following questions. One said it would be good to post it here for discussion and the other promised me that most professors here don't bite...Honestly, I was and am still hesitant to post but I promised them I would post it after the interesting debate on gender. So here I am with 2 main queries and I post them in original state without modifications: 'is a PhD that important when it comes to research and study ? -Is it that essential for lectureship and professorship ? I realize that many educational establishments seem to require one to have written a list of papers published together with a string of certificates. While this is important, my impression is it seems to have a heavier weightage than other creative and character qualities which are desirable to teaching.' Have a good weekend, Karen Fu
