"Who is your favorite Professor on campus?"

Katie Kuykendall - Women's Soccer
Sophomore
Psychology/Muir College

Valencia, CA  (William Hart HS)

"Nancy Gilson who I had for DOC my freshman year.  She was a good professor-the tests were hard but she prepared us well-plus, she likes soccer."

Brandon Yee - Men's Soccer
Junior

Management Science/Sixth College

Orinda, CA (
Miramonte HS)


"Carroll Foster, economics. He was funny, kept the class interesting and I got an A."

Markayla Quane - Women's Water Polo
Senior

Animal Physiology & Neuroscience/Revelle College

El Segundo, CA (El Segundo HS)


"I would say it's a tie between Professor Melissa Famulari and Professor Genevieve Peters. I have taken several economics classes with each and what has really impressed me is their knowledge of the material, their ability to translate difficult concepts into layman's terms and, most of all, the level of enthusiasm they bring to the classroom."


Mike Wright - Cross Country
Senior
Mechanical Engineering/Warren College
Rescue, CA
(Ponderosa HS)

"Vitali Nesterenko, Solid Mechanics (MAE 131A). I didn't even like the subject material that much, but he is a great professor who really cares about his students and I actually learned a lot in a class that I didn't really have a natural taste for."


 


Katie Mulloy - Women's Tennis
Sophomore

International Studies/Roosevelt College

Danville, CA (San Ramon Valley HS)

"Randy Willoughby, Political Science (International and National Security). He's funny and kept the lectures light, even when he was dealing with complex concepts."
