Will you tell me about that one amazing college professor that you remember to this day?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:I had a professor who taught how to examine a culture through texts. He, of course, taught a lot of classes with heavy religious themes. He was brilliant, but what I remember him for, was his ability to support those of his students who were religious. They would get upset on occasion over some of the lessons, but I don’t remember anyone actually dropping out. I also secretly admired the way he assigned students work. The brightest students seemed to get the most challenging topics assigned to them. He would have everyone report out regularly. I took every class I could with him as an undergrad.
