Posts: 1760 Jan 12, 2009 2:16 PM	Tags : None Just for the sake of "I recommend you do or do not take these teachers", I figured I'd start this thread. Grisham and Karahan coming up got me thinking about this, so here goes - Vaughan Grisham - Sociology - Extremely knowledgeable, and interesting to listen to Gokhan Karahan - Economics - Most interesting economics teacher quite possibly ever. Loved his use of prostitution in examples. Sumali Conlon - MIS - Hardest classes I took in college, but she taught me a shit load Esposito (can't remember first name. taught History of Cold War Europe) - I just endjoyed the class. Chuck Jenkins (mixed feelings, but overall I learned a lot) - Probably the only professor in the CS department that I thought was a genuinely good teacher John T Edge's wife - Can't remember her name, but her essay class was thoroughly enjoyable. Worst - Charles Eagles - History - dropped his Post-WWII US History class after he started passing on factually incorrect information. He was an idiot with regards to that subject matter. If he wasn't, he came off as such.

Posts: 16 Jan 12, 2009 4:13 PM	I'll go with Chester Quarrels for interesting (and probably mostly BS) stories... Someone else mentioned Reithel. I probably got more out of his last MIS class (whatever # you take for your last one) than any other MIS class. Everybody always talked about how hard he was.. but it was the only upper level MIS class I made an A in. Thought it was pretty easy... Someone also mentioned Sumali Conlon.. she was tough.. but I liked her a lot. Heard way too many people talk bad about her for no reason. While I'm on the MIS subject... Cesar Rego had to be my least favorite. His class (interprocess communications in linux or somethign like that) was just hell. That had no business being in the MIS program. And I just didn't care for him in general. Nobody else really stands out to me. I enjoyed Charles Walker for my real estate law classes. He was just a lawyer in Oxford who came in to teach.

It's Eli Manning and Shepard Smith." Shepard Smith: "Yea. There's a statue to me right there at the end of the bar."

ETA: worst - Mike Featherstone. He was the easiest grade in law school but was an absolute god-awful teacher. Yeah, I got a Caribbean soul I can barely control and some Texas hidden here in my heart.

He also challenged a kid to call him a mother fucker in class. He was still a great teacher and made class entertaining by forcing you to participate. Dr. Lerner is also great in the history department. Big sports fan and great lecturer.

Posts: 36 Jan 12, 2009 4:54 PM	Literature professor. I got him by luck for the first class, but he was the only one I actively sought out for a second class. He loved his subject matter, and it was contagious. I got a call from the English Department a week after finals to inform me that someone else would be grading my final. Dr. Holman had been waiting on a heart transplant. He was walking the Ole Miss golf course (as the only exercise he was allowed to have), sat down under a tree, and died. He couldn't have been much over 40. He told a story about when he was a little boy in Chapel Hill, NC. His dad, chairman of the English Department at UNC, had the faculty over for dinner. They served ice cream to the kids after dinner and were having drinks in the living room. Robert Frost, a professor emeritus, had been sitting in stone-cold silence all night. He suddenly yelled out, "NO ONE OFFERED ME ANY GODDAMN ICE CREAM!!!" Half of the faculty took off for the kitchen. He said that he was in awe of this old man who could talk like that in front of his dad and not even get in trouble.

Posts: 621 Jan 12, 2009 5:05 PM Registered Member	Dr. Sullivan-Gonzalez- Brilliant guy that taught Latin American Studies and now runs the Honors College. He kicked my ass but to this day he is the only faculty member I would consider a friend. Dr Elizabeth Payne- Sweet lady who actually made me want to try. Dr Wilson- You can't go wrong when your class meets at his house and you take a beer break after 45 minutes. Dr. Winthrop Jordan - Just plain brilliant. I actually felt like it was an honor to be in his class. Those four are really the only reason I sometimes feel bad for half-assing my entire college career.

I've never seen someone take more pride in their pit sweat as this guy. A quarter of the class could be spent with his arms over his head.

uncwj83	1. John Winkle - Constitutional Law	#56	[url]	[-]
Posts: 13 Jan 12, 2009 6:23 PM	Winkle is by far the best professor I've had, at least the smartest and I felt like I got far more out of his two Con Law classes than anything else I've taken here. 2. Charles Walker - Business Law, Real Estate Law, CPA Law Review. I wish he taught more. I don't know how anyone can't make an A in these classes. Very entertaining, to say the least. 3. Sam Thomas - teaches Principles of Accounting courses. Very nice guy. 4. Andrew Young - Macroeconomics, Money & Banking. Very smart guy and he manages to make very dry material seem interesting. 5. Tibor Torma - Intro to Astronomy. The only reason I have him on my list is because I somehow managed to get an A in his class after sleeping through an exam one morning, which he proceeded to omit for some reason, without me having to come up with some pathetic excuse for missing it. Worst: 1. Richard Forgette (Political Science) - This guy is a complete piece of shit, and I feel sorry for anyone who takes his classes. American Legislative Process was the worst class I've ever taken at Ole Miss. What a stain on this university. 2. Ronnie Musgrove (Political Science) - has nothing to do with his politics; I just can't fathom why Ole Miss lets him "teach" classes. Instead of teaching the material, Ronnie gives legnthy anectodes from his days as Governor and frequently launches into diatriabes against who happens to be upsetting him in current events that day. Easy A, though.

When nobody did, he gave us till the next class. Still nobody read it. I think he hates us. I wonder how long he will stay at Ole Miss.
