As a tenure-track member of a university faculty, I’m one part teaching, one part research. Teaching-to-research ratios vary from school to school. At a research-focused school, professors are judged largely on their research productivity – the # of journal articles, chapters, and books they publish, as well as the prestige of the publications. At a “balanced” school, professors are required to teach more and have less rigid research requirements. Ask me anything about being a college professor.
For me this comes down to if I think the student has really been trying or not. This is where it counts whether the student regularly comes to class, engages in discussion, etc. If they student gives me no reason to do this (doesn't show much motivation or effort) then I probably wouldn't.
