<p>Any current students have tips on great courses or teachers for incoming freshmen? I know a good teacher can make all the difference in some of those early survey courses. Thanks!</p>
<p>Depends on what you're looking to do, but I'm always looking to take classes with Mauro Porto and Vicki Mayer (both in the Communication department) so maybe if you're lucky Prof. Mayer is teaching 'Intro to Mass Communication' (definitely worth taking).
John Hall's 'Criminology' class is usually full, too, even though he's sort of. . .eccentric. . .I don't know if that was the best class I ever had or the worst, but it was definitely entertaining.</p>
<p>EDIT: You're 100% right though, take professors and not classes. A good professor can make any class interesting.</p>
<p>For business, I would recommend anything and everything that Mike Hogg teaches. I also really enjoyed Sid Pulitzer's two entrepreneurship classes.</p>
<p>I'd also recommend Sid Pulitzer's courses.
The best courses in the B School are the practical courses:</p>
<p>Leslie McNew's "Fundamental and Technical Trading"
Sheri Tice's "Darwin Fenner Student Managed Fund"
Peter Ricchiuti's "Burkenroad Reports (Equity Analysis)"</p>
<p>There are also a few new energy trading classes that are being added for next year - these look to be pretty cool.</p>
<p>Other B school professors i enjoyed are Noe, Rebello, Reese, Parent, McCusker, Wilson, Burrows, Woolverton, Aguilar and Cantale.</p>
<p>Other professors routinely win awards. My recommendation is to look at the ratings posted online. Always pick a course with the higher rated professor. I cannot stress this enough. The courses I didn't enjoy or did poorly in were the ones where I broke this rule.</p>
<p>ARHS/HISA/CLAS 319 "Pompeii: Roman Society and Culture" with Suzanne Lusnia was very good.</p>
<p>Also, if you are interested, any Linguistics course with Orie.
Then there are my favorite French teachers which include Cranford (who is finally teaching upper level stuff but is a GREAT first level teacher) and Poe.</p>
<p>wait..how do we register for classes, and how do you get to class ratings online? This is really interesting :P</p>
