Professors
One day the class discussion was whether it was beneficial to have an
older professor or younger one. I would rather have an older professor instead of ayounger professor because an older professor has more experience. He/She would know what students have more trouble understanding and the general pace that they should teach at so that the class learns the material well. A younger professor might not know what students would have more trouble with and end up flying through material. In that sense older professors have more experience and would give the students more input on certain issues because they have dealt with them before.

I can understand your position completely but I would have to say that I would rather have a teacher who is open-minded and innovative in his/her teaching style. Having experience does not necessary mean that you have to be old. I know many people who are much wiser than other people. Anyways, there are also plenty of narrow-minded professors in this world who are both old and young.
