<p>that list definitely has people on it who no longer teach at penn (or who are no longer alive)</p>
<p>can a few penn students (wharton preferably) please put in the names of their favourite teachers and their courses as well as the names of some of the most prominent tecahers that are AT THE MOMENT teaching at penn!? </p>
<p>please itll be of GREAT help!</p>
<p>Thanks ALOT</p>
<p>Um, may I ask why you want the list? Do they still have the 200 character professor question?</p>
<p>I’d look into Jeremey Seigel, Eric Clemons, and Michael Steele, but that’s just me.</p>
<p>if this is for the “what prof do you want to work with” question, it’s better to go with someone whose research you like rather than just the most famous professors</p>
<p>and, likewise, just because someone is popular doesn’t mean they’re doing particularly crazy research</p>
<p>like shatte was super popular for psychology but i never heard about research output from him (and then he didn’t get tenure, or whatever the deal was, and he left)</p>
<p>wharton must get hundreds of apps about jeremy siegel, and i wonder how many premeds write about britton chance, who turned 96 last month… he’s amazing but not realistically someone a student would get the chance to work with to a significant degree</p>
<p>Britton Chance is still ALIVE?</p>
<p>AND TEACHING???</p>
<p>Holy Sh**! :eek:</p>
<p>Good for him!</p>
<p>he’s still alive, for sure - but i don’t think he’s actively teaching anymore</p>
<p>that’s what you get for being an olympics gold medalist</p>
<p>lol my mom works for dr. bennett the gene therapy professor lol she’s alive</p>
<p>haha obviously not everyone on that list is dead / inactive</p>
<p>but like w.e.b. dubois? for sure no longer with us</p>
<p>I noticed some are dead/no longer teach… but to the OPs, do your research and figure out who’s alive and teaching… it’s not hard… A lot on the list are alive and teaching.</p>
