It's especially relevant when you are in an exec program.  Most of the
people in the program were MD's and so were many of the professors.  The
professors had difficulty with tailoring the assignments to older more
experienced professionals and where quite shocked when people complained
about the teaching.  It's a major problem in a research institution.  Seemed
the professors where always too busy traveling, conferences to do their job
of teaching.
The school is slowly learning that professionals don't put up with that when
they are paying a lot of money.  Ok, enough rambling.

Beth,

       Most professors are snobs and think the  are better than their
students, especially newly "minted" PhD's! And some gimp professors are the
worst. I knew an MD  type who had had post polio. He was always saying,
"after all, I'm a doctor!" After a while you got the feeling he was the only
person who didn't believe he was a physician!
