"She is my favorite professor. She goes well beyond what she needs to so she can help her students. If you want to get a good foundation for writing I would take her class. She will work with you, just make sure to ask for help and go to her office if need be."
"Prof. Francis will do EVERYTHING in her power to help you pass and succeed in the future. She also uses technology and humor to help liven up the class and keep it fun. Wish more professors were like her. TAKE HER!!"

"Best teacher I have ever had. If you are struggling at all this is the teacher to take. She will help in anyway possible. As long as you want to learn she will be there to teach you. I have had her answer emails as late as 11:30pm."

Psychology, Rowan University
"By far my favorite professor at Rowan. I looked forward to going to his class because he was so interesting. You will learn useful information that you can actually apply rather than just memorize like some other teachers. He's always willing to help and sets you up to pass his class. On top of a great class he's great eye candy!"
"When I initially registered for this course(abnorm psych) wasn't excited based on course description. But professor Redondo changed that, class was always interesting, encouraged class participation, gave detailed notes, always helpful and he is cute."

Chemistry, University of Hartford
"Excellent teacher! Makes things super easy to understand. Works hard to ensure everyone is on the same page, is very organized, consistent. Work is on the challenging side but with a teacher this thorough, it's not so bad at all."
"Dr. Pence is by far the most amazing professor I have ever had in any course I have ever taken. The material is difficult but she makes it seem so much easier and teaches the class everything you need to know to do well. You don't really need the textbook because her lectures are so good and she teaches the material in the clearest way possible."

"Truly one of the best professors I've ever had. Tons of passion in his teachings and genuine interest in his students. I have a lot of respect for him and his work. Highly recommended."
"Great professor. One of the only ones at IUN who will totally work with you to make sure you learn and do well. If anything, he works TOO hard to help people (including the slackers who really do not deserve any help). He loves his job and it shows. If you come to class and try a little, you will do well. I highly recommend Dr. Scooter."

Nursing, Long Island University
"She is amazing. She will literally sing to you if that means you will understand the material. You need to work hard and learn a lot of drugs but she is there the whole time giving you helpful hints on how to remember what each drug class does. Never met a professor who cared as much as she does. I'm in the 4th level, and no one compares to her."
"No words can describe how amazing this professor is! There's no way you would walk out of this class without learning something. She should be teaching every nursing course! Work hard ... pharmacology is not easy! (good luck!)"

"One of the best teacher I ever had. I never thought I could enjoy a class about politics, but he makes it really interesting and easy. I wish there was more teacher like him, able to make a class both easy and useful."

"Honestly the most helpful and invested instructor I've had at Pitt. He was successfully able to convey his vast understanding of basic computer programs and functions while being mindful of the students college workload. Awesome instructor."
"One of the best professors at Pitt! So understanding that college students have a lot of things to do. Due dates were always flexible. He genuinely cares about his students and even thought attendance was mandatory I didn't mind because I wanted to come to class."

"Best teacher at SFSU, helped me make the decision in changing my major and therefor my life, so motivational and enthusiastic! Every student needs to take his class, it will get you through the semester. I actually enjoyed showing up for a three hour night class!"

"Brenner is my adviser and is without a doubt the best teacher I have ever had, he is a true role model and one of the coolest people I know. I wish he could teach all of my classes and life would be good. He is hysterical and loves what he teaches. Take any class you can possibly take with him. You will not regret it!"
"He is AWESOME!!! Funny, entertaining, helpful, and did i mention funny?! He is so nice as well. Take him and you will get an A. Unannounced quizzes tho, but be there and you will get 100%. they are only 5 questions and the final is 10. Take him. you def won't regret it!!"

"Not just the best teacher I have ever had, she is a teacher that will changed the way you look at writing. I failed this class before and I was dreading it. She made it a pleasure and walks you through step by step on how to write a paper. She is funny, keeps it real, says her beliefs without pushing it on you, and we watched two movies. TAKE HER!"

"Dr.West is the BEST professor I probably will ever have! If you have the option to take any of his classes, do it! He will help you until you fully understand and teaches in a way that makes it easy to understand. No need to buy the textbook because his teaching simplifies everything it says. GREAT PROFESSOR!"
"Excellent instructor, very laid back, very prepared to help students any way he can. Great sense of humor, very smart man with the skills to pass on that knowledge."

"One of the only professors in college for which I enjoyed coming to class for 3 hours. He made a 3 hour class enjoyable and intriguing while learning the material along the way. The professor and the class helped me decide my major and I cannot wait to take him again down the road in Sports Management. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!"
"Awesome teacher. Research Methods is a hard class but he does a good job explaining the material. If you follow the template and example he gives you then you will get a great grade and learn a lot. I highly recommend taking this professor."

Sociology, Loyola University Chicago
"One of my favorite professors at Loyola. He teaches you exactly what you need to know for the test. There are weekly pop quizzes, so do the readings, but the stuff we read is really interesting. He is hilarious, understands college kids, genuinely cares about his students, and wants to prepare you for the real world. Amazing teacher! TAKE TAKE TAKE"
"Everitt is hands down the BEST professor I have had at Loyola. Hes hilarious, entertaining, brilliant, and super approachable. He takes a great interest in all of his students which is very impressive. He should be a part time comedian."

Spanish, College of Charleston
"Such a nice teacher. Had my whole class to her house to study for the exam and she cooked us dinner. The nicest woman, I was so sad when the class was over. It's not an incredibly easy class but she does such a clear job of explaining everything. She won't let you fall behind."
"Best professor in department and at CofC. Very helpful and enthusiastic. Tests aren't too difficult and she makes everything crystal clear. I was so scared about Spanish, but she makes it so much fun! Take her!!!!"
#5 Kenneth Anderson

Music, University of California San Diego
"Gospel Choir is the perfect way to de-stress from the day and have fun singing. Ken is an amazing professor who encourages his students to train hard and take good physical care of themselves. The class requires complete attention since the material is 100% oral and audio. It's a great class with a large attendance. One of my favorite at UCSD!"
"There is no bad word to say about Ken. I went really intimidated by the fact that I can't sing, but then you realize everybody else can't sing either and we're in there for the same reason - to get rid of the fine arts req. He manages to get 300+ people to sing BEAUTIFULLY. It is so much fun in his class. How could I not recommend it? 20 thumbs up."

Art, Georgia Gwinnett College
"Before the class, I was never a fan of art and took this class as part of requirements. Dr. Cook is extremely passionate about what he does and you can tell by the way he talks. His tests come straight from the study guides. Definitely a class worth taking."
"His drawing class was great. I was the worst artist in his class, but yet he always graded me well since he know I was trying my best. I would take him again for sure."
#3 Monessa Cummins

"Not only is Prof. Cummins incredibly intelligent and articulate, she is also wholeheartedly dedicated the success of her students. She has the utmost respect for her students and is a wonderful personal and academic mentor. She's not afraid to make the class laugh, either, so her lectures are entertaining while still being very intense."
"If you came to college wanting to be challenged, inspired, and educated in the truest sense of the word, this is your woman. She will make you work harder than you ever have in your life, and you will love every second of it. The single best professor I've ever had."

"Great professor. Very clear, very helpful, very understanding and patience. She is simply a JOY! I am very thankful to be one of her students. I have always hated Math and done poorly, but her teaching style makes it understandable and even fun! She is a believer in classroom participation, which is great because it keeps everyone INVOLVED."
