Favorite Professor

[marothisu]

Who was your favorite professor at ISU?

I had to fill an elective once, so I decided to take Intro to Global Politics since I kind of liked the stuff, a little.

The professor turned out to be Richard Mansbach, who is easily one of the smartest people I've ever been around. He would make the class into a discussion one, but he'd just sit up there reciting from memory EVERYTHING. The guy ******* knew EVERYTHING, and to get you to think, he played devil's advocate. There was one annoying guy in class who would always try and debate him, and Mansbach would just destroy him with bringing up some obscure event that barely anybody knows about. Furthermore, he was from Manhattan and not afraid to speak his mind. He didn't give a ****.

I had given up on professors being passionate teachers, but this guy proved me wrong. Extremely passionate.

It was fun too finding out he basically has the credentials to be say, Secretary of State, and was former CIA and formerly a Reagan adviser (I think). I still feel truly grateful to have been taught by that guy. Some people might not like him, but I found him to be my favorite professor at ISU.

Richard Hindman. He's now retired from the AerE department.

My favorite professors so far in no particular order. Gary Wells (psych 280), Eric Northway (relig 205), and Barbara Macke (JL MC 101).

 

[CyCrazy]

Barb Osborn

 

[CtownCyclone]

Joe kupfer.

I went to HS with a Joe Kupfer. Likely not the same guy.

Anyway, my favorite prof was Dr. Pate. That guy was great at bringing engineering topics down to a level that anybody could understand. Plus, he made class entertaining. That's hard to do with Thermo II, Compressed Air Systems, and Alternative Energy Systems.

Another good one. One of my electives that I thought I'd skip most of the classes, but showed up to every one. Learned a lot.

LOL he was pretty great, although absent and semi full of himself I found. I did like how on the first day of Psych 280 he shows this collage which nobody knew what it was. Then he's like "Actually guys, this is all porn" and some people semi freaked out. He's just like "exactly. You didn't care what it was when you didn't know"

Freshman here and had the pleasure of having Barbara Mack my first semester... Unfortunately it looks like it will be mostly downhill from there...

 

[purify]

Probably Dr. Tuttle in EE. This is my third semester with him, and I'm also a TA for one of his classes. He's very knowledgeable yet approachable. Has a great ability to breakdown complex theory into simple metaphors.

 

[TitanClone]

Chris Johnson, Com S 227. Only in my 4th semester, so a lot of time to change.

 

[cy4prez7]

Dirk Deam and Katholeen Waggomer...Also James Rodde the choir director!

 

[marothisu]

Chris Johnson, Com S 227. Only in my 4th semester, so a lot of time to change.

Never had him (he came after my time), but I did some work with the guy a few years ago for something. He was pretty cool and knowledgeable. Good to know he's a good teacher.

 

[CycloneNorth]

Jon Rouse for structures. Had some pretty hard tests but made the class very interesting. I hated turning in a bad assignment because I felt like I was letting him down.

Only class I was happy to go to, and I love my major. Everyone I talked to really enjoyed him.
