[edit] Classes taught
It's unclear, to me, why an encyclopedia article should contain information on what classes this individual is teaching this semester or year. Are these new classes that have never taught before, or never thought of before? Are these educational innovations? I thought professors were supposed to teach classes. Why is this something worth noting? (Or is this just advertising, to pack the professor's classes?) It would be different if the individual had won some honor for teaching, or for innovation in the classroom. Othewise, I think these should be removed (and I've removed them).
Additionally, the claims about the individual's teaching skills also are, I feel, inappropriate. Doesn't every professor demand their students come to class prepared? Doesn't every professor feel he or she offers a lot in class? Again, for many of the same reasons listed above, I would remove this section. However, if there is some way to provide support for these opinions about this individual, add them and leave the paragraph.
Don't get me wrong: Bob Zieger is a superb scholar, a great professor and terrific writer. It's just that these things aren't appropriate for an encyclopedia article. - Tim1965 15:04, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
