<p>My PROFESSOR won the teaching award last semester, Ananya Roy. I took Environmental Design 100 with her and it was fantastic. Our lecture was videotaped to be put into the Berkeley archives. I would imagine those who win the teaching award would be professors who challenge you and make you think, which makes the course itself far from a cupcake. At the end of the semester or college career, a better question would be, "which professor or which course was definitely worth it?" Professor Roy would be one and I hope you look into courses offered by her.</p>

<p>Best of luck,

<p>Some excerpts from the link above:</p>

<p>BERKELEY – Two assistant professors and a lecturer at the University of California, Berkeley, are recipients of the campus's prestigious 2006 Distinguished Teaching Award. The award, bestowed by the Berkeley Division of the Academic Senate's Committee on Teaching, is the highest honor for instruction given by UC Berkeley.</p>

<p>Only five percent of those who have taught on campus since 1959 - the year the awards began - have received this award. This year's recipients bring the total to 219.</p>

<p>A letter nominating Ananya Roy for a Distinguished Teaching Award lauded the assistant professor and chair of urban studies as "one of the most gifted teachers in the 57-year history of the Department of City and Regional Planning."</p>

<p>Roy also is chair of her department's undergraduate urban studies major, associate dean of academic affairs for International & Area Studies, and faculty director of the Berkeley Programs for Study Abroad.</p>

<p>"There is a lot of work to be done to preserve this beautiful but fragile ideal called a public university, to ensure excellence and inclusion in public education," Roy said.</p>
