Dr. Rebecca Cobbs is an awesome gal... I'm taking a psych class with her right now and shes really down to earth its awesome. You guys have any favorite profs over the years?
I will definitely check out Cobbs since I have a few more Psych classes to go before I'm done! What course are you taking with her?
Yue Wang for Linguistics is awesome. She is extremely organized, loves the subject, likes a good laugh, and is also very understanding if you have to miss a project or if you need extra help. Actually treats students like people instead of machines!
I'm taking interpersonal relations right with her right now...It's mind boggling realizing so much about relationships and how much we choose to ignore when in one. I've always stayed away from linguistics though since my friends said it was too hard
Interpersonal Relations is Psyc 362? I need to take upper level courses for my Psych minor... I will definitely check out that course and prof! Thanks! :smile:
Linguistics is actually a lot of fun! It's really not that difficult. Not like a science course or anything like that.
i think Professor Julie Crawford for english is great. she was an associate professor from Columbia University in NY too! had her last semester, very funny and interesting person, and always had exciting lectures that involved interacting with students...instead of just lecturing..
Best: Curt T. Griffiths (Crim), Ted Palys (Crim). All I can say is two excellent professors.
I've taken classes from other departments/faculties, but no one I had could really be called exceptional. And believe me, I'm good at assessing whether or not a prof is qualified (or competent) enough.
As for the wost, way too many are on my shit list :angry: so you'll have to send me a message if you want to find out the rest :tongue:
Other than Anne, has anyone had a decent business prof who is not: a) full of himself b) lazy c) likes to talk on and on before answering a simple yes/no question ?
For Biology, Kathleen Fizpatrick is the best. She's super nice and gives easy exams, that's very hard to find. I got B+ in her genetics class eventhough I totally slacked off.
Fitzpatrick is awesome! It's like taking a class and the prof is one of your buddies...but I musta slacked off even more than you because I didnt do so great lol
^ When I took Econ 301 a while back, a student PhD teacher, Bo Chen taught it. That was a tough course. But during the last lecture, the students applauded and thanked him. He returned the favor by ensuring that everyone passed given that you put a reasonable amount of effort into the course.

Professor Alder, Psychology
I dont agree with either of these. They're perhaps 1-2 on my most hated list in terms of professors go. I felt Day did a better job in terms of intro psych and Bartolomew (sp) however boring she was with her presentation on violence in relationships (guest lecture during interpersonal relationships) she is still the superior lecturer in terms of providing content and supporting evidence/explaining the evidence
On a different note, Mark Leire (Leare?) (sp.) is a great history prof. I also very much enjoyed my abnormal psych prof... Barry Ledwidge I think his name is.

History: Prof. Sedra and Prof. Garfinkel (Tie) Archaeology: Prof. D'Andrea Humanities: None at the moment
Update!
History: Prof. Paul Sedra and Prof. Paul Garfinkel (Tie) Archaeology: Prof. Catherline D'Andrea Humanities: Prof. Paul Dutton
Funny, three of my favorite Profs are called Paul. Do all Paul make great Professors?

Oh Prof. Garfinkel is one of my faves! He's absolutely hilarious! I'm not a history major but i would definitely take another one of his courses!
Did you take Hist-106 or Hist-224 with him? He is terrific in either one. He is teaching Hist-106 next semester.
If you're interested in taking upper division Psyc courses, and have an interest in forensics or crim. check out courses by Dr. Deborah Connolly or Dr. Don Read. They're awesome profs! Also, for those taking Health Psyc, Dr. Cox is AWESOME! As for Psyc 362, Dr. Bartholomew is an excellent prof., I don't know a lot about Dr. Cobb's teaching style/exams, but I've heard that it is a bit more difficult than Dr. Bartholomew's.
