5 Traits of a Professor

By : Professor Datuk Dr. A Rahman A Jamal

1. A professor is one who truly professes excellence in teaching and research. This excellence is evident in the way he/she gives lectures, opinions or advice. A true professor has integrity and follows good research practices. A true professor shows professionalism in academic matters, interactions and activities. He/she shows respect for students, peers and their opinions. A true professor is a role model for excellence not only amongst his peers but also the community.

2. A professor has command of the subject matter in his/her field of expertise. He/she is an authority in a particular discipline and is able to give opinions that are backed by evidence and not just mere personal views. He/she is aware of the latest developments in the field and also able to identify the gaps in existing knowledge plus the possible research projects which need to be done to fill those gaps. A true professor is recognised and referred to by his/her peers and is an encyclopedia of ideas.

3. A professor has his/her own research data to show when giving a lecture, and not just give a textbook review of the subject matter. A true professor is knowledgeable, reads widely and deeply, and is generous with imparting knowledge to students. A professor does not stop doing research to discover new knowledge. Professors who give talks but are just presenting work done by others often lack credibility and substance.

4. A professor is a good communicator, whether when presenting lectures or writing scientific articles. People pay attention and listen because they want to hear and learn something new, and they are rarely disappointed.

A professor will have personally written (and edited) many scientific articles and not just a mere passenger in all the research and publications. The publications of a true professor are well-cited by others.

5. A professor is not only well known in an area of expertise (and not a Jack of all trades) but also mentors many others and has many followers. A true professor inspires many young aspirants in his/her field of expertise. He/she leads by example and does not need official positions to exercise leadership. A professor always feel secure about his/her abilities and never feel threatened by others.
