Tenure, pay, and awards are typically linked to research grants and published papers, not on whether professors can make organic chemistry understandable to a lecture hall full of 20-year-olds. Too often professors mistakenly think that everything must be hunky dory if they get good teacher evaluations at the end of each semester.
