Greatest professor you had while in school

Didn't care for Deam one bit---way too liberal for me I guess. Probably my least favorite professor.
Really enjoyed Kathleen Hilliard for Civil War history and Lena Del Castillo for Latin American history---she was Miss America pretty!!!

Hilliard is the major prof for my thesis work. She is amazing!
Glad to see lots of good feedback about Northway, since he may be involved as well.
I really enjoyed Kupfer, also. He always reminded me of Christoper Walken, for some reason.
I'll never forget the late, great Doc Klemke, Phil. 201 circa. 1993. The class itself was pretty dry, but he was such an interesting guy. He would play weird and interesting music for us, tell us stories about sharing Chivas with some students at a frat party, etc. Rumor was he had the most amazing home stereo system around. The last day of class his entire lecture consisted of "Have you ever..." and then listed numerous outrageous events (having dinner and drinks with the Marx brothers, stealing a New York City cab with a St. Bernard riding shotgun, spending 3 winter months alone in an isolated cabin in the middle of Canada, etc.). At the end he revealed he actually had done all those things and the point of his lecture was to live life to the fullest, never pass up an opportunity to do something interesting, etc. It was really pretty powerful stuff for a naive 18-year old kid to take in.
Took Music 102 my freshman year and received a B+, the class was interesting but that is probably because I was heavily involved in music in high school.
As for David Stuart, I thought he was kind of arrogant and wasn't the biggest fan of his. He has to realize that most people are never really going to care about that class as they are just taking it to get at least a B for their gen ed requirements. I was one of very few people in that class that found the information to be intriguing. I also found it very entertaining when he would call out people in lecture for the slightest of noises/distractions, it was hilarious. He wanted that class to be absolutely quiet!
Brackins, Boozer and Lucca always talked though, but he never called them out, hmm weird...
Choobineh (MIS) was indeed very entertaining.
I also really liked:
Peters (Psych)
Dark (Fin - my advisor)
Carter (Fin - used to tell great stories about his "idiot brother-in-law")
Power (Fin - I could be wrong but I don't think he had that stash when I was there!)
Someone mentioned not liking Cowan but for some reason he really liked me and I actually got along with him really well.
And I also really enjoyed the REAL mayor of Ames at the time, Larry Curtis, when I had him for business law.

William Schrampfer.....business law. Very much in the mode of Professor Kingsley (John Houseman) from the Paper Chase movie and series.
i took music 102 (music listening) with him and he was a ******. that was a 100 level class that should have been a 400 level class. im glad i wrote him a parking ticket
I have always wanted to take this class, but Music 101 or something like that is a prerequisite to take it.
Hubert. Good choice. I had 302L. On the Marines birthday he did this yelling skit. Than when we were talking about conjugation he had did this whole skit like an old detective movie talking about a hot women (in this case a microbial cell).
And he also gave extra credit for naming his dog (Frank) on practicals. On last day of class, while cleaning equipment before winter break, he played Christmas vacation.
When I took Music 102 in the mid 1990s you could drop 2 of 9 tests or something like that. So after the 3rd test and I have 2 not so great grades, I show up to the "help session." There the TA is reading all the questions and answers and the correct answer to us. No problems after that. I think they changed it the following year.

LindenCy is probably just trying to save face. What he meant to say was "tutor."
