<p>Do any of you who attend Stanford have any particularly good professors that you would recommend (preferably in the humanities field) for an undergrad? I am trying to write my "Why Stanford?" essay and would like to write about a particular professor, but I am having trouble finding one...</p>
<p>thanks!!</p>
<p>Do research on the internet or possibly on Stanford's website if you are really interested in writing about a specific professor. You can't ask for a random professor on here and say you want to go because s/he is interesting.</p>
<p>I wasn't going to insert a random name; I was hoping that some favorites would give me a place to start. I tried researching on Stanford's website, but it was hard because I couldn't find very many names of professors, and for those I could find, I couldn't tell if they taught undergrads or not...</p>
<p>Mark Lucianovic! Probably the nicest I had this quarter. He truly cares for his students. When he teaches, he has a sense of humor. Tests are reasonable.</p>
<p>I believe most of the departments have their own websites, with a listing of the departement's faculty and bios on each of them. Then you can use Google. Really, it's not hard.</p>
<p>Rob Reich FTW!</p>
<p>Go here:</p>
<p>Departments</a> A-Z: Stanford University</p>
<p>Click on the departments that interest you. Each has a link to a listing of faculty. Explore the faculty's pages and their interests. See which ones fit you. It doesn't matter whether they teach undergrads (I'd say most do, except for some of those in the schools that don't grant undergrad degrees, but even then, undergrads take courses there).</p>
<p>Mehran Sahami (computer science) is an awesome professor.</p>
<p>yes, and this is really your job to figure out. We really should not be helping you in this case, because students have to do their own research, that is what i had to do when i wrote my essay. and it is on the stanford website ,so you can't use that excuse.</p>
