Hey Sonal,

That is a really good point! I have thought about this with regard to other topics, for example I have discussed with friends the reputation of certain athletes. Some people think if athlete's are disrespectful or engage in illegal activities off the court, they should be penalized while they're on the court. Others feel that if they are effective and can play well, who cares if they're a good person on the inside? It is interesting to apply this to academia, because it is much more personal for everyone. A teacher always seems "better" to me if I like their personality, although I have had teachers who I strongly disliked but they were extremely effective and taught me well. I also wonder what professors think! I have never considered that before...I am nervous to find out...haha
