While I majored in English Ed, I have to put Dr. Lishak from the biology department as my #1. Learned more valuable information in his class than I did in any other.

This is my answer too. I loved how you didn't even need the book. But the lab sucked in that class, lab final cost me the A.

The two I hated the most the African history teacher ( I swear she was racist, but I understand why) and that awful British this lady that taught women's history and Progressive Era history.

Dr. Nels Madsen for Statics/Dynamics

Great teacher and only teacher I'll ever have that won a freaking Academy Award. (Helped to develop motion capture technology)

Dr. Gordon Bond, History.

Dr. Bond passed away in 1997 from cancer at the age of 58.

Dr. Larry Witt.

Best teacher I ever had. Very difficult coursework (within the biological science undergrad) but very useful.

Great instructor.

Dr. Larry Molt in the CD department.

He's the only faculty left from my times at AU in the CD department, but was my all time favorite professor. He was a stutterer, and trained himself to control it...every once in a while when he'd get excited he slip out a stutter or two. Great professor, cared about his students, made classes fun and interesting.

This.

Ken Noe as well, also in the history department. Classes weren't hard but I learned more in his and Kicklighter's classes than maybe everyone else's combined

He was a little full of himself, especially after he was the lifeline on who wants to be a millionaire

To this day I still pick up earthworms that I see on the sidewalk and put them back on the dirt. There are some weird slime worms I have been unfortunate enough to try to help, but other than that, many a worm owes its life to Dr. Brown.

Does Lishak still threaten to call your doctor if you bring an excuse for an absense?

Excellent professor.

I would probably say Dr. Sushil Bhavnani for heat transfer.

But then I remember that Dr. Mishra was the GOAT love his students professor.
