not all professors are good
so this doesnt always apply
anyways, this study is pretty stupid
there's too many factors
and telling bias isn't a good or bad thing
it just means you recognize there's a different opinion
this can make you either a more reasonable person or an ignorant one depending on how you react to them

Oh boy, so now I'm dumb for having a worldview.
What the hell is this? Also, about this.
Since the student is paying money to the professor to teach the student with the implicit understanding that the student knows far less than the professor about the subject at hand, these findings indicate that the students in question—who mistake the educational process for "bias"—are dumb.
HURR HURR, not all of us are taking political classes.

This is stupid. Detecting bias is a good thing, especially when writing neutral papers.

Guess I'm pretty dumb, explains why I have a 3.5GPA instead of a 4.0 :(

lol, sounds dumb.
I'd imagine that being able to detect bias is good, not bad. :v

This isn't worth jack **** until their methods are revealed. At least their definition of "bias" must be.
This is why I hate newspapers. They should all be outlawed and replaced by science journals instead. I'm serious.

Most professor's are supposed to keep their political opinions to themselves. However, telling bias in a professor is very easy to tell. Some aren't so easy to tell as they'll give love to both sides and not just stick to one side. I had high GPA too and I was able to tell bias in my professors.
That study was obviously biased.
