| schestowitz | What I suggest is, LyX comes with many templates and it is possible to open from a template, although that too has the basic crutf/content in place to serve as starting point. | Jul 02 07:35 |
| oiaohm | Some ways I would class Prof as a downgrade. schestowitz | Jul 02 07:39 |
| oiaohm | Since its more an assigned title than anything else. | Jul 02 07:39 |

| TechrightsBot | @Alexandre Oliva (lxoliva)'s status on Saturday, 02-Jul-11 02:49:51 UTC - Identi.ca: @schestowitz Oracle bought it Just for Sun | Jul 02 07:41 |
| schestowitz | oiaohm: depends where | Jul 02 07:41 |
| schestowitz | in the States -- yes | Jul 02 07:41 |
| schestowitz | where assistant professor and associatd prof. just mean RA | Jul 02 07:41 |
| schestowitz | Here we call it research associate/assistant (RA) | Jul 02 07:42 |
| schestowitz | And they don't require q Ph.D. strictly | Jul 02 07:42 |
| oiaohm | schestowitz: In Australia prof does not have to have PHD. | Jul 02 07:52 |
| oiaohm | schestowitz: Just be the assigned lead teacher of that subject. | Jul 02 07:52 |
| oiaohm | So the title here is basically worthless. And people with Ph. D. want to be called Doc | Jul 02 07:53 |
| oiaohm | Maybe area difference on that part. | Jul 02 07:53 |
| schestowitz | [07:52] <oiaohm> schestowitz: Just be the assigned lead teacher of that subject. | Jul 02 08:09 |
| schestowitz | So the same as in the US, not the UK | Jul 02 08:09 |
| schestowitz | Although, in here too I've seen lecturers who have no Ph.D., I don't think you can call them professor though | Jul 02 08:10 |
| schestowitz | In Spain all they have to do is teach, IIRC | Jul 02 08:10 |
| schestowitz | I remember thinking, how come people under 30 in the US can be called "professor" | Jul 02 08:10 |
| schestowitz | Well, they just need to be RAs | Jul 02 08:10 |
| schestowitz | Here it's very unusual for one to become a full "professor" before one's 40s or even 50s | Jul 02 08:11 |
