| Summary: | This research aims at exploring what determines an “efficient professors” from
students’ perspectives, or in other words, what characteristics professors or lecturers
should have to satisfy students. We proposed seven different characteristics of an
efficient professor and tested how each of these characteristics may influence students’
satisfaction with Kano method (Kano, 1984). The empirical analysis was conducted
with a sample of 143 students from IS-VNU. Findings from this analysis suggests that
professors who are knowledgeable and have a lot of practical experiences are highly
valued by students. Also, students prefer professors with good sense of humor and
good communication skills, so that the lectures can be more interesting and attractive.
Although the remaining characteristics, i.e., approachability, empathy, variety of
teaching methods play an important role in increasing students’ satisfaction,
“reliability” is the most notable as failing to have this factor will lead to high
disappointment from students. |
