Instead of describing difficulties with his equations or his software programs, he lamented that (a) his graduate assistant wasn't completing his tasks on time, (b) his department chair didn't seem to care if junior faculty obtained grants, and (c) a senior professor kept glaring at him in faculty meetings. He knew he could handle the intellectual side of being an academic--but what about the people side? 'Why didn't they offer \"Being a Professor 101\" in graduate school?' he wondered.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003ePromotion and Tenure Confidential\u003c\/i\u003e provides that course in an astute and practical book, which shows that P\u0026amp;T is not just about research, teaching, and service but also about human relations and political good sense.
