Agree or not agree?
As educators, our primary objective is to provide impactful and effective learning experiences that reflect our areas of expertise. However, assigning faculty to teach subjects outside their specialization detracts from this objective and jeopardizes the overall quality of education. Teaching transcends mere content delivery; it involves interpreting the subject matter and assisting students in navigating intricate concepts. Assigning courses to individuals needing more in-depth knowledge of the subject is not only pedagogically unsound but also unprofessional, ultimately harming both students and faculty. Universities must prioritize aligning courses with faculty expertise to cultivate genuine learning environments.
