<p>Hi to all,</p>
<p>I have consistently heard, "take professors, NOOOT the classes." So, I'm trying to combine the two. ha. ha. Except for the fact that "ratemyprofessors.com" doesn't have all the profs that are teaching my classes. They are (the ones the site doesn't have): </p>
<ul>
<li>Sponenberg* for English 101</li>
<li>FERRO* for Philosophy 104 (beginning w/minds)</li>
</ul>
<p>So, I'm not sure what to think obviously because I've never had these profs, or any for that matter. Anyone with prior knowledge or experience with them let the info pour. Thanks!</p>
<p>Jeremy - Nice try my friend, but it's unlikely a lot of students are monitoring this board during the summer! Sometimes life is a crap shoot, and I think this is one of those times. The good news is that you'll know LOTS of students by the time Spring Registration rolls around.</p>
<p>Try looking at Ratemyprofessor.com and see if they show up on the Tulane board there. If these professors are new to Tulane though, you may not find them reviewed there yet.</p>
<p>I did a few times and they still aren't listed blah. BUT if they're new does that mean there's ap ossibility they're grad students? (meaning much harsher grading lol)</p>
<p>grad students don't necessarily mean much harder grading</p>
<p>the grad student situation is an intersting one. Everyone assumes a professor will be better, but that's not always the case. It depends so much on the grad student / professor. Last semester my favorite teacher was my grad TA! </p>
<p>But professors to get: Dean...something or other. I can't remember his name. I think he's the dean of arts and sciences now, he teaches history. He's FANTASTIC. Professor Jessica Adams in women's studies is also great. The Dean of Newcomb, if she's still there, is also great. Take glass blowing, whatever you do. PM me...maybe I can look up some names or remember some other stuff.</p>
<p>Agreed, the best professor I've EVER had at Tulane was a grad student - Jim Dugan. He might have been the most intelligent, interesting person I've ever met. He taught 'History of Writing' in fall of 2006, but I don't think he's still at the school; he was in his sixth year, I believe he said, and I have no idea where he is now. Grad students can be excellent teachers.</p>
