Mongoloid is a term for certain asians. They share outward traits like epicanthic folds and fattier cheekbones for example. This caused people in the west to associate it with down-syndrome. After a while people realized the unfortunate implication and renamed the medical term âdown-syndromeâ instead.
The answer depends a lot on what country and what institution you're referring to. So there's no single answer. In the US, an instructor (also sometimes called a lecturer) is someone, often without a PhD, whose only job is to teach (part-time or full-time).
UVU is very different from most universities as we do not teach from a textbook. Most instructors have a PhD in engineering and 20-40 years of experience. Course content is developed from scratch and is based on the instructorâs experience. The textbook serves as a reference and some reading assignments are made.
