Here's my take as a former student (and future grad student, if I'm accepted).
As a student, I hated being indoctrinated, and I hated professors who had a "my way or the highway" attitude when it came to anything subjective (and I was never one to hesistate to challenge a professor's assertions openly, although I was usually polite about it). Actually, I resent anyone doing that to me. Feel free to tell me what to think about, but not what to think. I'm all for hearing ideas that challenge my own, but don't try and tell me "I'm right and you're wrong" if we disagree on anything other than getting solid facts straight.
