Here are some of the special professors that I want to thank for all their time, effort, and hope spent on me; William R. McDaniel, Cecelia Kempler, Alvin Wander, Brenda E. Richey and Anna Agapova; these professors gave me a lot of the hard and difficult tasks, and they will last the longest in my memories of FAU.

Mr. Everiste Ambris as my Field Instructor also played a role in my succes s here at FAU as he showed concerned especially in those times when it seemed as if I would not get a placement for my internship. His determination to ensure I was placed at a agency that would be convienant was there from day one.  

  Everiste Ambris, Wes Hawkins, and Woody Hamlin were helpful with regards to recommending me for graduate study and providing guidance and understanding with my personal issues.

Amey, Advisor Beth
  I had the pleasure of having Prof. Keith Platt for the majority of my classes. Prof. Platt incorporated his own experience in the field of Social Work along with the constant challenge to complete the abundant papers required in his courses. He encourage d me to proceed to grad school and continue my journey. He will be missed at the Port St. Lucie office. Beth Amey has been my advisor over the five years and made herself available anytime I had questions. She also encouraged me to persevere, praised my accomplishments and took a genuine interest in my goals and aspirations. They are the two people I will miss the most.  

  Beth Amey has been my field advisor for sometime now. I was suppose to graduate about 4 times but then their was always a bump in the road. She stuck by me and we went through the process of placement at least 3 times, and finally I am completing field thi s semester. On the second day of field seminar she said to me,"Did you ever think this day would come," and I replied "finally!" I just want to say Thank You Beth for being there for me and pushing me not to give up.   (Back to Top)

Thanks!  

  Dr. Archibald and Dr. Lowe have been positive professional and academic nursing role models who have increased my knowledge beyond my expectations.  

  Dr. Gibson and Dr Archibald were mentors throughout my experience at FAU. They were able to related their wisdom with patience, competence, and care to all students.

Atkas, Professor
  Professor Aktas in the School of Finance was a great teacher and encouraged students to think for themselves. I don't think he teaches at FAU anymore.   (Back to Top)

Atkins, Professor
  Professor Sameer Hinduja... He was my first professor at FAU. And as "they" say, first impressions are lasting impressions and he definitely made a great impression on me. He challenged me to think beyond what I already thought of the world and let go of " inside the box" type thinking. He gave me a new perspective on learning and life. He also cared about his students and what each and every one thought. He taught with passion and really understood his subject matter. FAU could not ask for or hire a finer professor. Because of him, I continued my education and went on to experience other great subject matters and professors such as Richter, Shepherd, Atkins, Lamar, McBride, Basuroy, Hawkins, and many more.  

  Dr. Burt Atkins!!! Political Science in notoriously BORING but not with Dr. Atkins. His passion and love for Law is very motivating and intriging. His teaching style is interactive and he is ALWAYS open to alternative outcomes and hypothesis. He definately pursuaded us to think critically and it was very hard not to because he has a special way of just making you want to. In all of my college experience he has had the most influence on my reasoning skill and analytical thinking skills. I would like to thank him for that as those assests will remain with me always and I am proud to use them whenever possible. I would also like to thank the university for employing a truely fabulous professor.   (Back to Top)

Atzberger, Professor Elizabeth
  Walter Hnatysh and Vicki Skinner -Senior Seminar- They really helped fill in the holes that were missing from other classes. Both were easy to talk to and available to answer questions. Thanks to these two professors I have a better understanding of whe re and how to look for art opportunities. They also challenged me to try something new with my art work and it was a success. Elizabeth Atzberger- Drawing 2- Her enthusiasm was inspiring. She really pushed me to draw my best. I had the most growth in he r class. She made class fun and interesting.   (Back to Top)

Atzburger, Professsor Elizabeth
  All of my studio art professors were fantastic. Amy Broderick encouraged me to push my drawing skill to new levels. Walter Hnatysh always gave me reason to keep improving my work on a formal level. Carol Prusa encouraged me to read, research, and be produc tive. Elizabeth Atzburger also encouraged me to refine what I was doing, to try and even to fail and to remember editing is a way of learning from your own work what you need to do next.   (Back to Top)

Axe, Professor Barry
  Michael Tillet (2008-2009), George Young (2008), and Barry Axe (2006) The professors above made me feel that I can do my best and accomplish all my goals through hard work and dedication. They showed passion with what they were teaching which motivates m e to attend class everyday to learn more from them. I also looked forward in taking their exams so I could test my knowledge in all that I have learnt.   (Back to Top)

Ayyanathan, Professor Dr.
  I preferred most of my English courses because they were smaller and easier to communicate with the professor. My Science classes were mainly 100-300 student group large and there was a major disconnect with the professors. The few classes I took at Davie campus were smaller and more personal, I wish I had taken more. The professors at Davie also seem like more hands- on teachers and are usually better able to explain things to you directly. Worst experience was with <%Ayyanathan%>- mol and cell biology. An d I was stupid enough to take the class twice and fail twice, I knew I wasn't a poor student. Because I retook the class and did well. I believe he was a poor teacher. Good teachers like Dr. Machado, Dr. Stover, forgot his name- he teaches Biodiversity- ma rine biologist, another at davie that teaches Biochemistry.   (Back to Top)

Babar, Professor Sunil
  Sunil Babar is an amazing professor who helped make my second semester of operations management easier to understand. He explains everything and is very concerned with making sure we knew our subject.   (Back to Top)

Babbar, Professor Dr.
  Vidya Raghoo-Mungal in the Weekend BBA was especially helpful, kind, and dilligent in helping our entire group through the lock-step Weekend Bachelors program. Dr. Sashi and Dr. Babbar were especially gifted instructors - the two best professors in my 2 y ears at FAU.  

  Stuart D Galup - took Database Systems Management with him and he challenged us hard and I learned a lot from him. Umar Ghuman - Global Strategies and Policies, he challenged a lot and I really developed business oriented writing skills. Perry Iz - Quantit ative methods for business - she challenged us hard and I put a lot of effort to do well, it paid off as I recieved an A in the class and really learned how to think quantitativley - same as Perry Iz, Dr Babbar taught operations management and increase my quantitiave thinking skills which help in every day business scenarios.  

  Abby Ross- helped me plan out classes, and get me to go for honors recognition!!! I love her for letting me know, and encouraging me to go for it! Umar Ghuman- He knows his so much about everything related to his class. He demands participation, critical thinking, he doesn't allow 50% from you. He really taught me to step it up. Mr. Cohen- I loved that class because of the project. He let us have free reign, and I didn't have much help from my team mates, he assisted in my leadership skills. We had the b est presentation that semester. Sunil Babbar- He's got it right, you need to be ethical in life and do your best. Most students hated the class, but they simply don't understand the implications of living an ethical life, on the rest of the world. I real ize I don't have a lot in common with most students.  

  I very much enjoyed Prof. Sherry Young's classes and her clear, concise method of teaching. Her ability to explain accounting principles and procedures made the class more enjoyable and ultimately more effective. I also greatly enjoyed the teaching of Pr of. Sunil Babbar. His enthusiasm and knowledge of operations management was superior. His attitude towards students and teaching was exceptional - unlike many teachers who approach their subjects like a secret to be guarded, Prof Babbar clearly wanted his students to leave with all he had to offer - which was a great deal. Prof. Schwartz who taught management was also a thoughtful, effective teacher who was interesting and fun to listen to and learn from. Real world experience is always thrilling in the cl assroom.  

  Vidya Raghoo-Mungal, WBBA Program Coordinator. From the beginning Vidya has helped me through any issue regarding FAU. She has been instrumental in my graduation, and always polite and considerate. Maria Elena Ellison, Business Law Prof. Very eng aging professor who engaged me in a tough subject. Very passionate about teaching. Sunil Babbar, Operations Management The best professor I have ever had. Very motivated to teach and maintains high standards. Knows and loves his subject. Mr. Babb ar had a huge impact on my views of quality work and high personal and professional standards. C. M Sashi, Marketing Managent Exellent teacher who is both very knowledgable of his subject and able to explain it clearly.   (Back to Top)

Baranholz, Professor Elan
  Dr. Elan Baranholtz not only helped me define what I wanted to pursue, he also challenged me in my pursuits.   (Back to Top)

Barenholtz, Professor Elan
  Dr. Elan Barenholtz, Dr. David Bjorkland, Dr. Erika Hoff, and Dr. Rosselli. All of them had concern for my academic success and followed through and influenced me positively.   (Back to Top)

Barenholz, Professor
  Professor Bill Curliss - he makes class interesting with his stories and it keeps the students motivated to do well in his Anatomy and Physiology classes Professor C. Surloff - she was interested in how much the students were learning, she made Pharmacolo gy interesting by explaining materials in detail Professor Bob Stackman - he made Biological Bases of Behavior easy to learn and was a humorous professor Professor Lasiter and Professor Barenholtz.  

  I had one exceptional teacher each semester: J. Jakubow / PSB 3002- very personable teacher, helpful, and the only professor to offer me any individual career / course guidance while at FAU D. Louda / BCH 3033- Fantastic professor, very clear, organized, a nd structured - taught me all I know about chemistry, since the other teachers I had in the chem department at FAU were awful (especially <%C. Parkyani%>). E. Frazier / PCB 4674 - *Best* professor for actually encouraging independent critical thinking, mos t unique course format involving a lot of group activities and non-traditional teaching beyond the standard lectures. E. Barenholtz / EXP 3505 - great at involving discussion and critical thinking in the classroom activities.  

  Dr. Elan Barenholtz is not only a professor who teaches with enthusiasm, but a genuinely nice person who is eager to offer advice and speak with his students.   (Back to Top)

Basiratmand, Professor
  Some professors like for example Dr. Sashi and Professor Basiratmand made interesting attend class. They gave personal and professional views that are not in the book and are much more tangible than be learning only from a book.   (Back to Top)

Basuroy, Professor
  Professor Sameer Hinduja... He was my first professor at FAU. And as "they" say, first impressions are lasting impressions and he definitely made a great impression on me. He challenged me to think beyond what I already thought of the world and let go of " inside the box" type thinking. He gave me a new perspective on learning and life. He also cared about his students and what each and every one thought. He taught with passion and really understood his subject matter. FAU could not ask for or hire a finer professor. Because of him, I continued my education and went on to experience other great subject matters and professors such as Richter, Shepherd, Atkins, Lamar, McBride, Basuroy, Hawkins, and many more.   (Back to Top)

Baxley, Dr. Traci
  Dr. Traci Baxley, Ellen Heckler, and Joe Waters all went above and beyond their roles to ensure that I succeeded and excelled in the Education program!  

  Dr. Dassa & Dr. Baxley were very helpful & told true-life, relate able experiences. They were also very personable.  

  Traci Catto helped me with student the student teaching process! Dr. Baxley helped me by being a huge support through the Education Degree! Dr. Dassa was my advisor and helped me through my education degree.  

  Dr. Baxley (Elementary Education) was the best professor I have had. She challenged our class to become socially involved outside of school an d we organized fundraisers and became activists. She still holds a book club for our class.  

  Dr. Baxley is an inspiring and amazing teacher/ mother/ citizen/ friend. She helped to make learning fun and exciting. She's understanding and patient.  

  Yes, Dr. Baxley was always able to answer my questions and concerns.  

  Dr. Dassa and Dr. Baxley were both great professors and great mentors as well. They provided me with great and helpful advice that I could use in the classroom.  

  Dr. Baxley and Dr. Dassa were by far the most effective teachers I encountered. Words can't describe how they've helped me succeed.  

  Dr. Baxley because she made reading fun and really cared about her students and wanted us to become the best teachers. She made class meaningful and interesting and always gave a purpose to each assignment so we didn't feel as if we were wasting our time.  

  Dr. Baxley was well informed, compassionate, and helpful in the Literacy courses I took with her. She always had high expectations and provided extensive real-world examples and useful feedback which helped me with all assignments and projects. She also ex pressed a high degree of personal interest in the course she taught which positively affected the atmosphere of her classroom.  

  I benefitted the most from Dr. R. Lopus, Dr. N Estes, Prof. C Maloney, Dr. T Baxley, Prof. T Edwards, Dr. Dagbovie, Dr. M. Rose, Dr.R.Feinmann Dr. I.Allgood, Dr.J. Woods and Dr. Van Patten,Dr. B. Barrios and Prof D.Howell and Dr. R. Cooper. These educator s were very concise and helpful in having the students to meet the objectives set for the course. Their style of teaching was not intimidating as some of the others were.  

  Dr. Baxley was enthusiactic about the information she taught to me. I learned a great l deal of information in her class and I am able to put that information to use in the classroom.  

  Dr. Traci Baxley and Dr. Lori Dassa, both helped me become the student I have become and the teacher I am becoming.  

  Traci Baxley she taught me how to be a freat role model, patience, and to teach reading with enthusiam and exceptional strategies.  

  Joe Waters was always there to offer assistance whenever I needed it. Traci Baxley and Ellen Heckler were also paramount to my success at the FAU College of Education!  

  Traci Baxley is a superb professor- she was able to inspire me to be a better teacher, and be aware of my global responsibilites. Joe Waters was my gardian angel while at FAU!! He advised me, calmed my fears and helped me to achieve my goal of graduati ng when it seemed impossible!!! He is priceless!!!  

  Dr. Tracie Baxley was the most phenomenal professor I had in the tenure of my college experience. She was supportive and understanding and really concerned with the success of her students. She made it clear that she was attending this Fall's Graduation Ceremony for the first time since began teaching at FAU. That means a lot to me, personally, and I think she deserves recognition. Joe Waters was the other person at FAU who deserves recognition for helping, not only me, but many of my fellow Education major friends. He always gave us the information straight, instead of sugar coating things, or was compassionate enough when giving us the hard facts, rather than being insensitive about things.  

  Joe Waters and Dr. Tracy Baxley were my two advisors throughout my program and help me a great deal in preparing for the next semester, planning ahead, and the process for the Teacher certification exams required.  

  Dr. Baxley and Dr. Dassa both inlfuenced a lot in me to become an effective teacher. They taught us what was required but also shared experiences and techniques.   (Back to Top)

Berlatski, Professor E.
  I had two very inspirational teachers at FAU - Dr. W. Bradley and Dr. J. Caputi. Dr. Caputi made me see the world in a whole new light. After taking her class, my brain just kept going *pop* *pop* *pop*. New connections between myths, religion, movies, spo rts, human & societal behavior, our eating habits, literature, prisons, life, death - you name it, it was illuminated. Seriously, I think that every student should be required to take one of her classes! Dr. Bradley took the time to mentor his students a nd he helped me believe in my dream. Other teachers whom I learned a tremendous amount from and was greatly inspired by are: Dr. E. Berlatski, Dr. J. Low, Dr. C. McGuirk, Dr. C. Neile and last, but definitely not least, Professor P. Bucak.   (Back to Top)

Bernardo, Professor Frank
  I have had some exceptional teachers at FAU. I would have to say the one I was most impressed with was Stephen Kizlik. I took Statistics with him and was constantly impressed by his passion to teach. He truly wanted each of his students to do well. He also took consideration into the fact this his students worked and he would always make sure that at least on of his review sessions for his exams were in the evening. In the Criminal Justice program, I feel that Frank Bernardo was the most influencial on me. He was definately the most difficult professor I had at FAU and is the reason I have 2 B's on my otherwise perfect straight A record at FAU; however he was the teacher I learned the most from and he helped shape my view of our criminal justice system. He a lso changed my career path - he encouraged me to attend law school and said that you are never too old to do something. I still think about that and will be applying to law schools next year, even though I will be 35 by the time I graduate from law school.   (Back to Top)

Bernet, Professor Patrick

Bjorklund, Professor
  Professor Hubertz is an extremely effective teacher and made my time at FAU enjoyable. Professor Bjorklund is also a wonderful instructor and ran a great Honors Seminar. Dr. Peluso is the best advisor in the psychology department. She will actually answer questions you have and go beyond just doing the minimum.  

  Dr. Barbara Bjorklund and Dr. Catherine Hughes really taught me about myself and about what the Psychology field had to offer. They pushed me to succeed and encourged me any time I felt discouraged. They truelly are the two most influentual people that I h ave ever met and FAU should be proud that they are part of the faculty!  

  Laura Finley, Tom Monson, and David Bjorklund  

  Martha Hubertz and David Bjorklund.  

  First and foremost, Glenn Malone. Without his tutelage, guidance and laudatory efforts, none of this would have been tangible. He empowered me with the hope and optimism necessary to transform my lackluster GPA and Curriculum Vitae into graduate-level ma terial. Dr. David Bjorklund, for taking a chance on me and granting me entrance into his Honor's Seminar and lab. Dr. Todd K. Shackelford for expanding my mind, enriching my understanding of biological life and for furthering my epistemological endeavors. Dr. Cheri Surloff, for being so passionate and caring in her teaching approach.

Blakemore, Professor Dr.
  There were a few professors who really helped me to be successful throughout my college experience. These teachers were able to realize that we are not only students, but mothers, fathers, employees, etc. who live difficult lives outside of the school set ting. Some of these professors include Dr. Blakemore, Professor McGuirk, Dr. Romeo, and Mrs. Cross. Without these teachers' flexibility and absolute knowledge of their content area, my experience here at FAU may not have been as successful, rewarding, an d enjoyable as it has been. Thank you, to these excellent professors for their devotion to their students and their success!  

  Andrew Furman - a great teacher and I especially enjoyed his classes on Nature Literature. Dr. Blakemore - I had about 3 classes with him and his concern for the students is very evident. His knowledge and love for literature was full of passion and made the classes very enjoyable.  

  Dr. Leeds and Dr. Blakemore are both giants of men with regards to their teaching abilities. The greatest learning opportunities came from these two professors because they offered their knowledge, their passion and their command of the classroom to all w ho entered. I am sincerely grateful to have had classes with them both. My conscience, my understanding and my compassion for others have all been greatly enriched because of them. Thank you both for adding so much to this student's life.  

  Dr. Steven Blakemore was especially willing to discuss issues with me outside of class and provide guidance in terms of applying to graduate school. His aid has been invaluable.

Block, Professor Kristen
  Dr. Kristen Block was the most helpful professor that I had during my time at FAU. She was always approachable and open to new ideas, suggestions, or interpretations to history. She was always interested in what I had to say and never berated me for brin ging something up in class, no matter how far off the idea may have seemed. She was always willing to help me if I was struggling with a paper or project for her class. This helped me to become a better historical writer and has ultimately helped me to ea rn high grades in other classes.   (Back to Top)

Bloetscher, Dr. Frederick
  Dr. Frederick Bloetscher. He taught the only subjects that interested me. Perhaps it wasn't the subject as much as his practical experiences injected into lectures  

  Dr. Bloetscher, his classes were very interesting and he taught material that we need in the workforce. I really enjoyed all of his classes and feel I learned the most in his classes.  

  Dr. Bloetscher, Dr. Meeroff, Dr. Tegavaropou, and Dr. Sobhan were all good.  

  Dr. Reddy really motivated me to think critically. Dr. Meeroff helped to push me as hard as possible. Dr. T and Digna Mejia always encouraged me. Dr. Bloetscher, Sobhan, Kaisar, Rocky, and Young were always knowledgable sources.  

  Daniel Meeroff helped me understand civil engineering. Dr. Bloetscher helped me with waste water. Dr. Rocky helped me with structures.  

  Dr. Bloetscher from the Civil Engineering department Always available for advice or insights  

  Ms Digna. She is very enthusiastic about helping students to succeed. Always a pleasure dealing with her. Dr.Sobhan. Very straight-forward teaching method. Very good teacher and allows student to cope with class materials at their own pace. Dr. Bloetsch er. Always encourage students to go the extra mile. Will give you feedback on your strenghts or weaknesses and will make the time to help you with your students and career goals. Very uplifting professor.  

  Dr. Bloetscher would always stop to talk and put you first before anything and applied real world experiences in his teaching. He was very influential in making me want to know more than average and never acted like he was to good for you like other facult y members.  

  Dr. Bloetscher - one of the most impressive teachers at fau, he blends the best of academia with real world experience.  

  Dr. Fred Bloetscher - Awesome Instructor with real life experience Dr. Yan Yong - Excellent instructor. Very inspiring.  

  Both Dr. Fred Bloetscher, and Digna Mejia have been consistently encouraging, and accommodating in helping me to complete my degree. They both show a good balance of scholastic professionalism and personal concern.  

  Dr. Khaled Sobhan who is one of the best professors that I've ever had. He is extremely brilliant and knows how to push students so that they perform to their full potential. Dr. Fred Bloetscher is also an excellent professor, he combines both field exp erience and academic experience into a package that most professors lack. Engineering professors need a grasp on the real world to really teach a student to their full potential. Dr. Bloetscher is excellent in this aspect. He has definetly made a positive impact on me as a student.  

  Dr. Frederick Bloetscher, I consider that he is one of the best professors the engineering department has; his experience in the real world help him teach the students practical solutions to real problems while applying the basic course concepts.   (Back to Top)

Boba, Professor Dr.
  Two professors in particular were of most help to my positive academic experience at FAU. Dr. Boba and Mr. Waters. They were both very familiar with the criminal justice system and applied their knowlege to classroom teachings. I have taken numerous course s with these two professors and have preferred them over others. While academia is important, so are extracurricular activities. Jason Davies has helped in numerous ways regarding Student Government and other varios roles. He is an asset to FAU.  

  Yes, Dr. Rachel Boba. Dr. Boba has been the most motivating and challenging professor I have ever worked with throughout my college career.  

  Dr. Rachel Boba: A fantastic professor. Doctor Boba was extremely helpful in all aspects of teaching. She was very professional, and took time with her students to make sure they understood what they were learning. Dr. Adam Dobrin: He was very good in mak ing the student understand each and every point he was making in all the courses I took with him. FAU is very lucky to have two knowledgeable professors like Dr. Boba and Dr. Dobrin.  

  Dr. Rachel Boba was a wonderful asset to my education at FAU. She brought a wealth of knowledge, experience, and expertise in Criminal Justice. Her ability to use that and teach in a way that applied the learning to "real life" has led to tremendous know ledge and growth both educationally and personally. She is a great asset to the college, and I am proud to say I learned under her. I wish her the best, and I hope future classes will be able to say the same for years to come.

Bucak.  

  William Bradley of the English Department encouraged me to become a writer in a world where literature seems to be a lost art. He showed me that it is possible as long as you take the steps to get there. Caren Neile of the Communications Department has s hown me that there is more to learning than books and papers. Learning involves experience and compassion as well. She helped me realize that grades aren't everything, but once you realize that, it becomes less stressful to make those A's. Quentin Youngb erg selflessly donated his time as the faculty advisor of Sigma Tau Delta of which I was the president of.   (Back to Top)

Branaman, Professor
  I found Professors Branaman, Wilson, and Carreno-Lakusik in the Sociology department to be especially paramount to my success. They each were helpful in and outside of class in terms of academic advising and in helping me learn to think critically about so ciety, and they are each also excellent teachers. They care about the efforts and progress of their students and about making their subjects both interesting and applicable to life in general.  

  Professor Ann Branaman was excellent, she always made class interesting and educational. Alesandra Asenzani was a wondeful Italian professor. There were many others in both the Criminal Justice department and the Sociology department!

  Dr. Lori Dassa- without her preparation i dont know if i would have been able to make it through student teaching. Mrs. Jodi Leit- without her setting the foundations and maybe "babying" us throught ETP1, i would probably still have difficulties writing a portfolio evidence form. Traci Caitto- for being there through placements, a question hotline, and her continuous informative emails!! Mrs. Brandt- i cant even tell you how many times i contacted Nancy Brandt in regards to placements or badge renewals she was always there to help. THANK YOU!!  

  Dr. Rhone was very open minded and supportive throughout the process. Marsha Lynn was always able to help with concerns, and Nancy Brandt was always there to assist in concerns. Dr. Nancy Estes also shared quite a wealth of knowledge.

Elizabeth Atzburger also encouraged me to refine what I was doing, to try and even to fail and to remember editing is a way of learning from your own work what you need to do next.   (Back to Top)

Brooks, Professor Dr.
  Dr. Brooks is an amazing professor. During lecture, he is animated which helps maintain students' focus. His attention to detail and promptness requires his students to do the same. Students thus become more responsible, study harder, and learn more mat erial. Although, he may be tough at times, even for exceptional students, I find it very beneficial for students to take Dr. Brooks early in their college career to develop the study skills required in his classes and apply them to following upper level c ourses. I found myself breezing through upper level courses due to earlier conditioning by Dr.Brooks's high expectations and it allowed me to focus more on extracurricular activities, working, and finishing my BS in Biological Sciences within three years.  

  Dr. Haces, Dr. Zhang, Dr. Brooks and Dr. Thiesen  

  Geri Mayer, Dr. Frazier, Dr. Brooks and Dr. Hughes all played a huge role. The first three allowed me to gain leardership experience as a T.A. running the discussion. Dr. Hughes allowed me to work in his lab and took on the role of my mentor.   (Back to Top)

  As a student in the College of Engineering, I have experienced my fair share of hard work. With all of the grueling classes my major requires, it is easy for a student to get discourage. Dr. Lofton Bullard has helped me from the start of my education, guid ing me towards success. His direction and attentiveness to my education was personal for me, and I believe that without him, my success would have been difficult.  

  Lofton Bullard Tami Sorgente  

  Mr. Bullard & Miss Woodworth. They always went above and beyond what they had to do for students, even if they weren't your assigned advisers. They cared about each and every student and I wouldn't be graduating without either of them.   (Back to Top)

Bullarsd, Dr. Lofton
  Dr. Lofton Bullard helped me succeed. As a professor, advisor, and friend, Dr. Bullard always brought out the best in me. He would accept nothing less and that allowed me to work hard and meet those expectations. Thank you Dr. Bullard.   (Back to Top)

Burns, Professor Brian
  Professor Brian Burns from the Davie campus. He is an excellent teacher and cares about his students and if they are learning. Also, professor Dahmus for global strategies, great teachers, probably the most effective for preparing me for the real world.  

  The two most helpful professors I came across were Brian Burns (finance, Davie) and Robert Ciraldo (Marketing, Boca). Their teaching styles made it easy to learn and understand new material, even though their classes were among the most challenging I took while at FAU. They were also very helpful to any student who seeked advice from them outside of the classroom.   (Back to Top)

Calhoun, Professor
  Calhoun, Brewer, Sugnet, Hayden: These are the best instructors on campus. Every other instructor should be held to the standards and performance that these professors set forth.  

  Professor Sugnet and Professor Calhoun were the two faculty members of FAU that really helped me to succeed and be where I am today--a fifth grade teacher at Village Green Elementary.  

  Nearly all of the professors and instructors in the College of Education were especially helpful. Ms. Leslie Calhoun and Dr. Sharon Smisek were extremely knowledgeable and helpful by providing real world examples and practicum experiences throughout the re ading coursework. Ms. Linda Sugnet was especially helpful in guiding our success throughout the effective teaching practices coursework. Ms. Sugnet set the bar high but guided her students throughout the coursework with personal experiences, strategies an d methods that not only assisted with success in class and in the field!  

  Professor Linda Sugnet: Without her help in ETP II there would not be the high quality of Elementary Education students ready to teach and she was the main reason I believe I made the AIT list, Professor Leslie Calhoun who taught me any adversity can be ch anged to a positive in your life, Professor Denise Hayden who exemplifies the type of educator that goes way beyond the call of duty to reall get to know her students and be there to help them whenever it is needed with sharing of her own vast resources an d talents.  

  Lesile Calhoun, Linda Sugnet, Denise Hayden, Dr. Furner, and Tina McSoley.  

  Professor Linda Sugnet was an exemplary role model, instructor, and someone whom I consider to be the pinacle of the education program at FAU. She challenges her students to achieve and is an asset not only to students at this university but to students in classrooms everywhere whose teachers have had the opportunity and privelege to have been a student of hers. Professor Leslie Calhoun is a compassionate, knowledgeable, and dynamic instructor who is current in her field and continues to bring fresh ideas to her students. Her techniques and delivery for teaching teachers to build strong readers in our communities are unsurpassed.  

  Professor Leslie Calhoun was wonderful. Professor Linda Sugnet was great.  

  There were two, Ms. Sugnet and Ms. Calhoun. Both were always willing to discuss any concerns I had about assignments, making sure I was on track and assisting me if I wasn't. They also encouraged me when I felt I was in over my head.   (Back to Top)

Campoverde, Professor
  Prof. Stephen Ferrante, D Fox, B. Schneiderman, D. Sydnor, N. Zhang, Campoverde and Everiste Amber. I thank these professors for being understanding to my situation at the time.  

  Processor Campoverde was great when it come to telling her students the truth about the real world.  

  Professor Campoverde, with her energy and commitment Professor Ellen Ryan, Helpful information and the enrichment from her Social Work and Spirituality class. Professor Gail Horton learning how to research and write good papers in APA style. Professor Rebe cca Walker for transmitting her knowledge of Institutions, political entities, agencies and grant writing.  

  I want to say a special thanks to Lee-MacFarlene from the department of Urban and Architect, even tho she no longer works there...I remember just comming from another country and it was so hard for me to get ajusted to going to school..she was my advisor.. she guided me through the process while I did nothing but cry sometimes..becuz i almost thought it was a mistake comming to the US and FAU..her words were "you will finish oneday" she advised me that she remembered attending school herself..and she complet ed her degree..I took her advice and more..and I am so happy today..i cannot express…thank you Lee MacFarlene..I will NEVER forget you…and all the wonderful members of staff at FAU who encouraged me…I would also like to give a word of shout out to Dr. Camp erverde!!!!!!!!!this is a woman of virtue!!!!!I cannot fine words for her…Dr Diaz!!!!!!!!thanks for stretching my mind and challenging me that I am not too educate to go to the english lab to get help with my grammer….Everest…..there is not coffee without   (Back to Top)

Caputi, Professor J.
  I had two very inspirational teachers at FAU - Dr. W. Bradley and Dr. J. Caputi. Dr. Caputi made me see the world in a whole new light. After taking her class, my brain just kept going *pop* *pop* *pop*. New connections between myths, religion, movies, spo rts, human & societal behavior, our eating habits, literature, prisons, life, death - you name it, it was illuminated. Seriously, I think that every student should be required to take one of her classes! Dr. Bradley took the time to mentor his students a nd he helped me believe in my dream. Other teachers whom I learned a tremendous amount from and was greatly inspired by are: Dr. E. Berlatski, Dr. J. Low, Dr. C. McGuirk, Dr. C. Neile and last, but definitely not least, Professor P. Bucak.  

  As a transfer student, I chose to change my major instead of re-take certain courses FAU required me to take in order to move forward in my original major. Had the technicalities not interefered, I doubt I would have taken any courses taught by Professor J ane Caputi. Even though I took her Women's Studies courses as required electives, they are most definitely the most interesting, thought provoking courses I took at FAU. Although the subjects of her courses sound trepidatious and emotionally charged, her t eaching style opens students' eyes to the fact that such scary topics must be taught in order to move towards understanding and change. Her ability to connect with her students on a more personal level through honest and candid lectures makes her the type of teacher every student needs. She didn't OVERTLY push me to think more critically, write more coherently or read with a higher comprehension level; looking back on the time I spent in her classes shows me that not only did she enhance my skills in all of  

  Betty Colson (Freshen advising)- She has been my adviser for entire time here at FAU. She's more than an adviser, she a close friend. She has help me with problems that stretched beyond the walls of FAU. I had many professors that I love dearly: Armand Gro ssman, Jane Caputi, Tamie Kanata, The Librarians, Robin Fiore, Josephine Beoku-Betts, Dr. Mulvaney, Arthur Evans,Dr. Darlington, I'm forgetting some. But I looooooooooooooved my professors and my time here at FAU.   (Back to Top)

Carabell, Professor Paula
  Professor Carol Gould in Aesthetics and Art Theory was the most actively engaged professor at FAU and the only one in any art history required class that I have attended. Her goal was for you to understand very difficult topics and delivered them in a way so you could understand. Professor Paula Carabell, although new to the university, provides a comprehensive and well thought lesson with student involvement, despite her class size, always encourages discussion. Both of these professors deserve high pra ise and acknowledgment.   (Back to Top)

Careno, Professor Gina
  1. Gina Careno - This professor is FAU's very best. She helped me to develop a passion for sociology and the importance of ones capability to apply it to their own life. This professor loves what she does and cares genuinely about her students. There is no way to thank her for the education that I received in her classroom. She deserves a raise and to know that she is the very best. 2. Glenn Malone - This is the only advisor I ever went to who was knowledgeable on EVERYTHING! He's the very best! 3. Martha H ubertz - I loved going to her classes... they were always challenging and informative. I took her multiple times!   (Back to Top)

Careno-Lukasik, Professor Gina
  Gina Careno-Lukasik is by far one of the best professors FAU has to offer. She is so iterested in what she teaches and that is obviously seen. She truly cares if her studets succeed, not only in her class but in life, and goes out of her way to help in any way possible. I will remember things I learned in her classes for the rest of my life!   (Back to Top)

  Myrtha Senat from the International Student and scholar Services. She was very helpful in explaining the correct steps that I had to take to maintain my staus as an international student. She was always willing to help even if it meant going beyond what was required. Thank You I will always be grateful. Tamsyn Carey from the Divison of Engineering Services. Ms. Carey help to plead an a cademic petition case for me. Thank You. Brenda Simmions from the Divison of Engineering Services.  

  Dr. Gazourian, Tamsyn Carey, Dr. Neelakanta, and Dr.Zvi Roth.  

  KC Coyle from the Mechanical Engineering department helped a great deal. She always knew what was going on in the department and was always willing to work with a student to get a good class schedule. Tamsyn Carey who used to work in the Department of Engi neering Student Services also helped me to succeed. She was the reason I decided to go to FAU in the first place.

I have taken 3 classes with her and would cont inue taking more of her classes if I hadn't already taken them all!! Dr. Jaap Vos for being a great advisor and helping me understand what classes to take and when to take them. As well, Dr. Vos informed me of graduate scholarships and programs and about waterway cleanups, Wednesday lectures, etc which helped me to become involved and enroll in the departmental programs.   (Back to Top)

Anita Abraham and Jodi Leit were both wonderful professors who made learning fun and cared about students progress and concerns. Traci Catto has always been very instrumental and u nderstanding getting me situated with my placement.

  Dr. Janice Cerveny; Through inovative teaching and exceptional knowledge of the subject matter.  

  Dr. Janice Cerveny was without a doubt the best professor I had at FAU.  

  Dr. Janice Cerveny taught me so much in just the duration of one semster. She helped to change my whole outlook on the business world and to understand it better. I still know that I could contact her for help after that semester was over. She's an excelle nt teacher and experienced business person.  

  Dr. Janice Cerveny taught to me to think outside the box. She encouraged me to look beyond the obvious and take the time to explore every possible outcome. She also taught me to analyze my decisions to make sure I am solving the problem and not just one of the symptoms of the problem. Dr. Paul Guglielmino has taught me to appreciate other cultures and their differences. He also taught the importance of understanding cultures within and outside of my own country.  

  Yes, Dr. Janice Cerveny was my favorite professor due to her high expectations for students yet efficient teaching style in-class. She structured the class to ensure that we actually learned the material; not memorizing it. She is very knowledgeable and ef fective with her assignments. She was one of the most rigorous professors but she was the most enjoyable.  

  Glenn Pate, Janice Cerveny  

  Janice Cerveny was a great professor. She taught you how to solve problems and think critically.  

  Two professors offered challenging curriculum and applied concepts to "real life". Both are excellent instructors. They are Janice Cerveny, PhD. and Glenn Williams, PhD. One professor made learning enjoyable by connecting text readings with online discu ssions, interesting in-class discussions, and an informative guest presenter. This instructor was Paul Guglielmino, PhD.

Childrey, Dr. John
  Dr. John Childrey is a facilitator in the classroom rather than a lecturer. He is more interested in hearing the voices of the students rather than his own. I learnt a lot from him and will definately use this approach (with moderation) when I become a te acher.  

  Dr. Kurjiaka was very helpful. She is such an inspiration and to know her has been a pleasure. This past spring I attended classes while pregnant. All my professors did what they could to assist me in successfully finishing. Thank you, Dr. Childrey, Dr. Le eds, and Dr. K.

Umar Ghuman- He knows his so much about everything related to his class. He demands participation, critical thinking, he doesn't allow 50% from you. He really taught me to step it up. Mr. Cohen- I loved that class because of the project. He let us have free reign, and I didn't have much help from my team mates, he assisted in my leadership skills. We had the b est presentation that semester. Sunil Babbar- He's got it right, you need to be ethical in life and do your best. Most students hated the class, but they simply don't understand the implications of living an ethical life, on the rest of the world. I real ize I don't have a lot in common with most students.

Chris Colbert- He is a new teacher to FAU. He brings much field experience to the classroom, which is how students learn best. Theoreti cal with practical knowledge, this is a great recipe for success.

  Prof Conte. I had her my last semester for two courses, Really tried to ensure we understood the material. She didnt just run through material like lots of teacher. Best teacher in all my 5 years of using multiple vehicles for getting information accross. Charles Evans was also good at teaching to be understood, as opposed to teaching just to tell us information.  

  Professor Conte. She was the faculty sponsor for my business fraternity, Delta Sigma Pi, as well as my professor for two courses here at FAU. She has always been willing to help me and all her students by answering questions related to class, school, the marketing industry, or even personal advice. She is one of the most genuinely caring professors I have ever had.  

  I really enjoyed Professor Conte. She made her classes really interesting and she made you want to go to class and listen and learn from her.  

  Dr. Kyle Prescott, Dr. Sean Murry, Professor Conte and Dr. Dahmus.  

  Professor Barbara Conte- Amazing!!  

  The best FAU Advisor is Kenna O'Leary she advise me on my classes, how many to take, schedule each semester so they match my work schedule. For faculty teachers Harry Schwartz and Barbara Conte were the best, very patient, know what they were doing,they want teach and their students to learn. Encourage students to think critically and are very clear in what they expect from each student.  

  Graeme Warren- He connects with his students and has a great ability to breakdown the materail so that his students can follow the material and ultimately increase our learning.

  Gina Carreno and Barbara Conte Professor Carreno was the most interesting and informative proffesor I had at FAU. She got me intrigued about the subject and I learned a lot from her. Professor Conte taught me a lot about marketing and prepared me for all a spects of a marketing job.  

  Professor Barbara Conte was influential in my success at FAU. As my faculty advisor for Delta Sigma Pi, she was someone that I could go to for advice, confide in, and ask for a letter of recommendation. She is always available to her students and she is al ways fair. Professor Conte is definitely someone that I will keep in touch with after I graduate.  

  Professor Barbara Conte-she is an amazing professor. She was the one who inspired to be a marketing major. I'm so glad I had the opportunity to take classes with her. She challenges you to understand the material.  

  I would say professor Barbara Conte.  

  Barbara Conte. After taking a class with professor Conte I realized that her open door policy was not just for those in her classes. She was willing to provide help and adviced to anyone she could, and did it with a smile on her face. She showed that she r eally cared about those the students at FAU and was not working just for the income. She provided real world advice but was always open minded to other opinions. She proves that you can learn at any age if you are willing to keep an open mind.   (Back to Top)

Those faculty are Dr. Jeannete Wyneken, Dr. James Nichols, Dr. Dennis Hanisak, Dr. Clay Cook, Dr. Tamara Frank and Dr. Juli Goldstein. As part of the Semester by the Sea program at Harbor Branch, I found my focus. All of the staff at HBOI have a genuine interest in their fields of study and are so warm and encouraging when students wish to join in that community of learning. Dr. James Nichols is the advisor for the Pre-V eterinary club that I founded this year at FAU and his support of ALL of our members' efforts to gain experience and learn have been extremely helpful in re-building leadership and self-confidence. Last but not least, Dr. Jeannete Wyneken has been such a wonderful mentor. Her advising has helped me to improve academically as well as personally. She is always willing to help and to push me to learn more each and every day. I couldn't ask for a better mentor for the Master's program at FAU and I look forw

  I had a few professors who were clearly in teaching for the right reasons! They were much encourage and inspired me. These individuals include Dr. Debra Vance Nolek, Dr. Lori Dassa, And Dr. Pam Cornett. Without these women, I might not have completed the p rogram. I owe them a great deal.   (Back to Top)

Cory, Professor
  I was extremely impressed with Public Administration professors; Cory, Hollar, Borque, McCue, and Criminal Justice professors; Spadeas and Bennardo. Professor Cory is an excellent advisor and has a true understanding of students' needs. Professors Hollar , Borque and McCue helped me understand the problems of govt. administartion as they relate to bigger, global issues. Professor Spadeas, I feel, was truly concerned in whether the students' learned and always provided great feedback. Professor Bennardo w as the hardest out of all the CJ professors but I consider I gain more constitutional wisdom from his lectures than any others.   (Back to Top)

Courtney, Professor David
  Brett Klein, former Assistant Director of Student Development and Activities, helped me gain leadership skills that are invaluable to me now. David Courtney, former Assistant Professor in Art History, was the only art history professor that taught art hist ory. His learned view allowed me to first question all that I knew and to research and grow into the person I am today. Blane De St. Croix, Professor of Sculpture, help me focus on my academic goals while making sure I never wavered.  

  David Courtney was a professor who really got me thinking. His courses opened my eyes to new perspectives but, FAU didn't want to pay him enough so, he quit... and they replaced him with an instructor the same day class began rather than letting us know a head of time. Good Job FAU. Tammy Knipp is also a very effective professor, she taught me how to filter process and mangle information until it is interesting for presentation but, FAU hired some awful teacher to take over her Design Methodology course i n my last semester which left me wishing I had applied for graduation a semester early as this class I was looking forward to learning in became a massive waste of time.  

  Dr. Courtney (recently retired) was the most amazing professor I ever had.   (Back to Top)

Coyle, Advisor KC
  Teresa and K.C. from the engineering department helped me a great deal. I thank them a lot!  

  KC Coyle is the best advisor ever.  

  Dr. Salivar was by far the best teacher in the engineering department and I learned a lot from him. KC Coyle wa sthe biggest help for the engineering department and gave great advice for the future.  

  My advisor KC Coyle is my hero in helping me to overcome my obstacles.  

  My department adviser KC who was concerned about my academic progress and success.  

  KC Coyle. She was extremely helpful with everything. She was very organized and always knew what was going on. She led me in the right direction and kept me focused. I never felt like I was being misguided by her. She's amazing! Dr. Salivar. He mad e his classes interesting and actually cared about the students. He came prepared to class and it always seemed like he was interested in teaching and wanted to be there. He teaching style was by far the best in the Engineering Department!  

  KC, she pushed me to complete my degree much faster, she was great, like having a second mom at school. All the ME faculty, everyone made their own contribution to help me succeed.  

  KC Coyle in the Mechanical Engineering department. She was always knowledgeable about the course load and things going on within the department. Whenever I needed help with scheduling classes or anything involving the school, she was always available.  

  Kathleen Coyle- Best Adviser Ever!!!  

  Yes, KC Coyle the academic program coordinator of the mechanical engineering department especially helped me succeed. She provided me with the motivation of knowing there was someone who actually cared about me personally. Sometimes it is the smallest thin gs that have the most importance.  

  KC in the Mechanical Engineering Department She has always let me know about events that would affect my education. KC let me know if classes were going to be canceled and how to circumvent the cancellations. She was always there to help when ever I had a problem and to give me advice about my current schooling and future graduate school. KC also helped me find a great place to live closer to campus which helped me greatly reduce my commuter costs. All in all she has gone above and beyond the call of duty on many occasions and unfortunately is under appreciated by FAU.  

  KC Coyle from the Mechanical Engineering department helped a great deal. She always knew what was going on in the department and was always willing to work with a student to get a good class schedule. Tamsyn Carey who used to work in the Department of Engi neering Student Services also helped me to succeed. She was the reason I decided to go to FAU in the first place. She also accepted me into the STEP program where I became more prepared for a future in Engineering.   (Back to Top)

Cross, Advisor Lorraine
  Lorraine Cross was my advisor in the college of Education. She was one of the most active and responsive faculty members I had the opportunity to work with. Any time I had a problem or challenge,she was there to assist any way that she could.  

  Lorraine Cross worked with me when I re-enrolled at FAU. I took ETP1 once and passed however, since I took a break from attending colleg. She helped me ease back into the College of Education. She helped me evaluate what would best prepare me for student t eaching.  

  There were a few professors who really helped me to be successful throughout my college experience. These teachers were able to realize that we are not only students, but mothers, fathers, employees, etc. who live difficult lives outside of the school set ting. Some of these professors include Dr. Blakemore, Professor McGuirk, Dr. Romeo, and Mrs. Cross. Without these teachers' flexibility and absolute knowledge of their content area, my experience here at FAU may not have been as successful, rewarding, an d enjoyable as it has been. Thank you, to these excellent professors for their devotion to their students and their success!   (Back to Top)

Crouch, Professor Suzanne
  Dr. Suzanne Crouch was the most knowledgeable, thoughtful, and caring teacher I have ever had. She is one of the main reasons I was successful in graduating from FAU. She cared for every single one of her students and always made things work for the best o utcome. She would never allow her students to leave a classroom without them 'owning' every piece of material she taught. I will always remember her and thank her for everything she has done for me and our entire class!  

  Dr. Suzanne Crouch - She was always willing to take time out to help and explain any problems I had, she truly cared whether I succeeded and how well I succeeded. Kali Vaccarella - She was very helpful in the clinical setting and always asked questions to help us think better, and more critically.

Cruz-Taura, Professor Dr.
  The professors in the Communication Disorders program are wonderful. They are all so knowledgeable and always more than willing to listen to student concerns. They are the reason why I will apply to FAU's Comm. Dis. program in spring 2009. Also, Dr. Cru z-Taura and Dr. Thomas Martin are excellent professors. I really feel like they, more than any other professor, encouraged me to think critically.   (Back to Top)

Cunningham, Professor James
  Dr. James Cunningham- Dr. Cunningham was an amazing teacher and really took his time to make sure all of his students were learning and understanding the material. He was so easy to talk too and very communicative! He had a wonderful sense of humor, whic h all teachers MUST have! He was great! I want to thank him for a great summer! He made my last semester at FAU wonderful! Dr. Michael Flaks (K-9, Social Studies). He taught his students in a unique way that lead to us teaching ourselves. He was vey nice and knowledgable teacher.

Dr. Dagbovie- she is just all-around EXCELLENT in every possible aspect. You can hear her passion and enthusiasm for what she does in just her tone and even appearance. She is one of the few professors that I will always thank.  

  I benefitted the most from Dr. R. Lopus, Dr. N Estes, Prof. C Maloney, Dr. T Baxley, Prof. T Edwards, Dr. Dagbovie, Dr. M. Rose, Dr.R.Feinmann Dr. I.Allgood, Dr.J. Woods and Dr. Van Patten,Dr. B.

  Dr. Dahmus, Dr. Richie and Dr. Zarruck  

  Dr. Dahmus really motivated me to take accountability in my work. I wish more professors would invest that much concern in their students from the beginning.  

  Dr. Kyle Prescott, Dr. Sean Murry, Professor Conte and Dr. Dahmus.

Dallas, Advisor Melissa
  There were a number of professors and staff members who aided me in my journey toward achieving my BA. First and foremost, Helena Szczesny was invaluable, helping me to receive more than one scholarship and always making herself available to answer any que stions I had. She is truly a valuable part of Florida Atlantic University's staff. Additionally, Professor Susan Carter, with whom I took ISM3011, was one of the most inspiring Professors I had the privilege of learning from. Both Carl Riegel and Melissa D allas, no longer at FAU, were also an integral part of my journey, especially in regard to academic advisement.  

  Melissa Dallas, Carl Riegel, Peter Ricci--- There are always there for the students and make sure you have a clear understanding on how the information can be applied to the real world. They are also very well connected in the Hospitality Industry and kno w how to get students jobs! Which is the goal of college.   (Back to Top)

Dalleo, Professor Dr.
  Dr. Dalleo has made me feel that he cares about my success as a student. He has spent many hours going over materials that I did not understand, and he never made me feel as though I was taking up his time. He is one of the best professors I have had, an d he truly cares about his students. Dr. E Machado has also inspired me to write a book. She made me believe that I have the ability to do so. She was also instrumental in letting me meet my favorite author Edwidge Danticat.

Darlington, Professor Dr.
  Betty Colson (Freshen advising)- She has been my adviser for entire time here at FAU. She's more than an adviser, she a close friend. She has help me with problems that stretched beyond the walls of FAU. I had many professors that I love dearly: Armand Gro ssman, Jane Caputi, Tamie Kanata, The Librarians, Robin Fiore, Josephine Beoku-Betts, Dr. Mulvaney, Arthur Evans,Dr. Darlington, I'm forgetting some. But I looooooooooooooved my professors and my time here at FAU.  

  Dr. James Tracy (professor)- Opened up a whole new sense and view on our world in America and internationally. Through the documentaries he has shown and his readings/our responses in class I have gained and retained more knowledge about media and politic s. Dr. Darlington (professor)- her intellectual way of teaching and letting our analytical talks take over to inform us and has helped me retain and learn so much from her.  

  Dr. Darlington. She is probably the only reason that I am glad for having transferred to FAU. She is an amazing woman and professor and maybe if all teachers actually had a passion and true knowledge for the subject they are teaching than this school would be better.  

  Professor Tamie Kanata, Arthur Evans and Patricia Darlington. All of these professors have taught outside the book, and really allow students to express their thoughts. I feel I learned an exceptional amount while enrolled with these three professors and l ove their method of teaching. I would always leave the classroom continuing critically thinking about what was just taught. (I dont do that very often)  

  I would have to say that Patricia Darlington in the Communication department was a wonderful Professor because she is passionate about what she teaches and really cares about the students. She has made a difference in my life and I know that I am not the o nly student that she has impacted in such a positive way. Dr. Marin is also a wonderful professor because she challenges you in a positive way and is easy to talk to.   (Back to Top)

Dassa, Professor Dr.
  Dr. Dassa was an amazing professor. She gave great ideas and real world experiencesto take into the classroom.  

  Dr. Baxley and Dr. Dassa both inlfuenced a lot in me to become an effective teacher. They taught us what was required but also shared experiences and techniques.  

  Dr. Dassa and Dr. Towell are very helpful in many ways. They are understanding and knowledgable in every area. They were able to listen and help with all situations.  

  Dr. Dassa and Dr. Baxley were both great professors and great mentors as well. They provided me with great and helpful advice that I could use in the classroom.  

  Dr. Baxley and Dr. Dassa were by far the most effective teachers I encountered. Words can't describe how they've helped me succeed.  

  Dr. Dassa & Dr. Baxley were very helpful & told true-life, relate able experiences. They were also very personable.  

  Dr. Dassa, Her class was especially helpful in preparing for my student teaching semester. In addition, she gave extremely useful tips to use in the classroom.  

  Dr. Dassa was wonderful help during the time I was in her class. She helped with advising issues and concerns and went well above her teaching responsibilities.  

  Dr. Dassa is a wonderful and very well informed teacher. She is up to date with all her knowledge of the education world.  

  Dr. Dassa was especially helpful in presenting material in class that was beneficial to my Student teaching experience. Furthermore her classroom projects and her expectations of her students helped to promote a higher level of teaching enthusiasm. Her de dication to the field is evident and I will continue to keep in touch with her and look for her guidance as I start my teaching profession.  

  Lori Dassa led bey example. Very motivated and had genuine desire to see us succeed.  

  Traci Catto helped me with student the student teaching process! Dr. Baxley helped me by being a huge support through the Education Degree! Dr. Dassa was my advisor and helped me through my education degree.  

  Dr. Romeo, Dr. Dassa, Dr. Leit, and Dr. Mohammad. They really challenged me but at the same time always provided resources to help me succeed.  

  Leit and Dassa prepared me to go into Student Teaching and ultimately to teach. Gail Kennedy taught me how to use trade books effectively to teac science and social studies concepts.  

  Lori Dassa, Jodi Leit, and Janet Towell all possessed a wealth of knowledge in education and practical use in the classroom.  

  Lori Dassa was the most effective professor at FAU. She taught us the most when it came to pertinent information to be used in a classroom.  

  Dr. Traci Baxley and Dr. Lori Dassa, both helped me become the student I have become and the teacher I am becoming.  

  Jodi Leit and Lori Dassa. These two in particular professors helped me get through the critical times of my college career, I will always be thankful and greatly appreciative.  

  I had a few professors who were clearly in teaching for the right reasons! They were much encourage and inspired me. These individuals include Dr. Debra Vance Nolek, Dr. Lori Dassa, And Dr. Pam Cornett. Without these women, I might not have completed the p rogram. I owe them a great deal.

  Dr. Lori Dassa was a great help to all of her students. You can tell she really wants good, quality teachers to graduate and represnet the University in the fild of education.  

  Dr. Lori Dassa- without her preparation i dont know if i would have been able to make it through student teaching. Mrs. Jodi Leit- without her setting the foundations and maybe "babying" us throught ETP1, i would probably still have difficulties writing a portfolio evidence form. Traci Caitto- for being there through placements, a question hotline, and her continuous informative emails!! Mrs. Brandt- i cant even tell you how many times i contacted Nancy Brandt in regards to placements or badge renewals she was always there to help. THANK YOU!!  

  Dr. Lori Dassa  

  Dr. Lori Dassa Prof. Cruz-Janzen Both were extremely helpful and genuinely cared about education and their students' success. They are very positive influences in the education department. They are both very knowledgeable women who enjoy sharing their experiences to help their students become better educators.  

  Dr. Lori Dassa's class was the most useful and fulfilling class in the College of Education. I felt that she wanted us to succeed as teachers in order to serve the children whose lives we will shape. Instead of simply learning theory, she showed us powerul ways to apply those theories to the classroom while keeping students engaged and excited.  

  Mr. Leistner probably helped the most in understanding initial lesson set-ups and literature. Mrs. Dassa really took an interest and cared to help.   (Back to Top)

Diaz, Professor
  Professor Leeds is THE BEST teacher I have ever had. He is so enthusiastic and thorough with his teaching. He's a wonderful individual and he really does care about his students. Proressor Jasin is amazing, she is brilliant. She helps students develope their thoughts from incoherent garbage into well organized statements. Professor Pullease is incredibly effective and she makes it her goal to help future teacher teach effectively as well. Professor Carlos Diaz was amazing, he cares so much about the worl d and other cultures that it infects his students with the same compassion. Professor Robert Adams is another excellent teacher, he selects some of the most interesting litrature for discussion and he really lets the students participate in discussion of t he reading.  

  Stacy Bennett is a great instructor. She brings her love of social work to the classroom. She is very professional and has a great sense of style. Professor Diaz is exemplary. She is very professional and intelligent. I was in Dr. Diaz Profession of S ocial Work's class. I have never worked so hard for my grade! The expectations were high, I studied hard. Dr. Diaz did command me for my hard work. Do what is expected of you and Dr. Diaz's class will be worth the challenge.  

  There are several members of the faculty that greatly appreciate. Mr. Leeds is a wonderful educator. Professor Pullease was so comprehensive on her teacher education. Professor Jasmine and Professor Kurijaka held the highest standards for us! Professor Car los Diaz was a wonderful educator with high standards.  

  Dr. Diaz inspired me to further my career choice of teaching. I had doubts but after having Intro. to Education with him, it became clear to me what I'd like to do.  

  I want to say a special thanks to Lee-MacFarlene from the department of Urban and Architect, even tho she no longer works there...I remember just comming from another country and it was so hard for me to get ajusted to going to school..she was my advisor.. she guided me through the process while I did nothing but cry sometimes..becuz i almost thought it was a mistake comming to the US and FAU..her words were "you will finish oneday" she advised me that she remembered attending school herself..and she complet ed her degree..I took her advice and more..and I am so happy today..i cannot express…thank you Lee MacFarlene..I will NEVER forget you…and all the wonderful members of staff at FAU who encouraged me…I would also like to give a word of shout out to Dr. Camp erverde!!!!!!!!!this is a woman of virtue!!!!!I cannot fine words for her…Dr Diaz!!!!!!!!thanks for stretching my mind and challenging me that I am not too educate to go to the english lab to get help with my grammer….Everest…..there is not coffee without  

  Yes. Last Spring semester was a tough semester for me, I was an emotional reck, I was going through a hard time in my personal and acedimic life. I was not doing well on my practice 1 class. Every test I took I failed it, but with hard work and determinati on and little boost from Dr.Diaz, who of course I must say is a tough cookie when it comes to writing I did it. I thought I knew how to write, until I met her, and I know there were other students feeling the same way I felt. I often got frustrated when I would make a gramatical error that didn't seem like an error to me but Dr. Diaz would catch every error.If you want to earn a good grade you would have to get your paper proof read not once but twice. Dr. Diaz way of teaching may seems tough at first, but trust me it's for your own good. What I have learned from Dr. Diaz teaching I applied it to my other classes, where I got A's on all my writing. My advise is don't give up that easily,always see for yourself before you take somebody elses word.  

  Dr. Diaz is a great professor in my opinion because she has very high standards as should more professors who are teaching college level students. She expects alot out of her students and would grade accordingly. I have had other teachers just hand out pas sing grades even when the students work was not up to par. She also is very engaging in her classroom lectures. I was not bored and felt like participating.

Digna, Advisor
  I started college in 1970 and transferring credits over years to a single program was trying. Digna understood my past and really helped me obtain the variances required. Without her, I may have given up.  

  Digna definitely pointed me in the right direction and made the path clear for me. The civil engineering professors all gave real life field examples which I think will help me in my career.  

  Dr. Ramesh Teegavarapu gave me advice on how to approach my classes. Digna points to the right direction. Carey helps me with some financial issues.  

  Ms Digna. She is very enthusiastic about helping students to succeed. Always a pleasure dealing with her. Dr.Sobhan. Very straight-forward teaching method. Very good teacher and allows student to cope with class materials at their own pace. Dr. Bloetsch er. Always encourage students to go the extra mile. Will give you feedback on your strenghts or weaknesses and will make the time to help you with your students and career goals. Very uplifting professor.   (Back to Top)

Dinev, Professor
  In particular, I found that Dr. Smith (Introduction to Advertising) was especially enthusiastic about the subject he taught and encouraged students to strive for their best. Furthermore, he put a great deal of effort into ensuring that his class was inter esting and enjoyable. Next, I feel that Professor Dinev (Quantitative Methods in Administration) took both her teaching position and the learning efforts of students very seriously. She provided the students with thorough lessons and set high expectations of us. She was also a great advocate of students taking responsiblity for their studying behavior. She made it very clear that if you put your full effort forth in her class and really applied yourself, that you would succeed. I followed her suggestion and exceeded far beyond my expectations in her class.   (Back to Top)

Dobson, Professor
  I had a few great teachers as well as a few bad ones. The history teachers (Lawrence, Sanua), psychology teacher (Lumpkin), logic teacher (Dobson), computer teacher (Binder) were the best. Some of the teacher in the education college were the worst.  

  Dr. Jari Niemi - Department of Philosophy Prof. Andrew Dobson - Department of Philosophy Dr. Mark Scroggins - Department of English Dr. Constantinos Nikoloutsos - Comp Lang/Linguistics  

  Susan Dobson was a huge help in getting me into classes I needed and giving me information. She was always prepared for a scheduled meeting and very willing to help if I called or e-mailed. Dr. George Young is a great professor. I appreciated the time h e spent preparing for the class with useful notes, links, and current information. He was very approachable and always willing to hear students concerns and give carreer or school advice.   (Back to Top)

Doney, Professor
  I particularly felt that Professor Root (Marketing), Professor Choy(Money & Banking), Professor Carreno-Lukasic (sociology) and professor Doney (marketing--Davie Campus) were all very good professors and took the time to speak to me after class if I had di fficulty or if I wanted to explore a concept further.

  Every professor at the Harriet L. Wilkes Honors College is a inspiration of excellence. Out of all the faculty and staff there I would like to mention Dr. Michelle Ivey, Dr. Eugene Smith, Dr. Nicholas Quintyne, Dr. Sheila Riordan, and Alana Edwards. All o f these individuals deserve special recognition for there outstanding commitment to their students, whether that commitment comes from advising, teaching, or simply listening. Over the past four years they have shaped the person I am today, and for that I thank them. With out them I would not have made it through the difficult coursework at the Harriet L.

Dr. Nitt brought enthusiasm to the classroom and provided extra h elp. Dr. Ploger made learning to teach math fun and interesting. Dr. Estes provided countless materials and ideas for real-world applications.  

  Mrs. Leit was wonderful. So was Dr. Estes! I wish I could take Dr. Ploger's class, again - that's how informative it was! I learned a lot from Dr. Leistner, as well, and Drs. Enger and Sacharow's classes were great!   (Back to Top)

Dr. Shara Pavlow- a true mentor who pours herself in to the many classes she teaches! She always made time for me and never let her VERY BUSY schedule come ahead of her teaching priorities during or after class. She is a great leader for the Community Conversation Corps (AmeriCorps) program now on campus, an

I would always leave the classroom continuing critically thinking about what was just taught. (I dont do that very often)  

  Betty Colson (Freshen advising)- She has been my adviser for entire time here at FAU. She's more than an adviser, she a close friend. She has help me with problems that stretched beyond the walls of FAU. I had many professors that I love dearly: Armand Gro ssman, Jane Caputi, Tamie Kanata, The Librarians, Robin Fiore, Josephine Beoku-Betts, Dr. Mulvaney, Arthur Evans,Dr. Darlington, I'm forgetting some. But I looooooooooooooved my professors and my time here at FAU.

  Dr. Ivy, Dr. Fadiman, & James Gammach-Clark. The Geogrpahy department is great and always more than willing to help, this is one of the main reasons why I am returning to do my Masters in the FAU Geogrpahy Department  

  Tammy Knipp, Roger Hurlburt, Maria Fadiman are three professors who create a passion and drive for learning that only a handful of teachers have the capability to do. Tammy values multi-disciplinary studies and creates a high sense of worth to those of us who are interested in many things. Most often perceived as confusion or lack of focus, Tammy views this trait as a strength within the arts. Roger Hurlburt has such compassion for his students. I was told my pregnancy was going to be an obstacle for con tinuing my education by my advisor and Professor Hurlburt was extremely supportive and accommodating. All of this on top of gripping lectures and passion for the work he does. I would enjoy sitting in a class of his even if I was not receiving credit for his class. The same can be said for Dr. Maria Fadiman. I have only taken one class in Geography, but she is such an amazing professor and a powerful lecturer, I have considered changing or continuing my education in Geography.

It really help ed to form a three dimensional view of the course that we were sharing.  

  There were many that definitely helped me succeed, including Dr. Faraci, professor Stover, and Dr. Beoku Betts.  

  Professors Mary Faraci and Taylor Hagood helped to make my experience at FAU an extraordinary one. I developed a passion for literature and have learned much about myself during my two years at FAU. Drs. Faraci and Hagood have both encouraged me to pursue graduate studies and I aspire to one day contribute to changing a student's life as they have changed mine.

He is a great advisor. As for <%Vada Taylor%>, she should not be in a posi tion to advise students. I took classes that did not count towards any part of my major because she advised me to do so. I am not the only student she has done this too. Half of the students in my major that I am graduating with this fall, have had the sam e problem with <%Mrs. Taylor%>. She SHOULD NOT be an advisor, because clearly she does not have the knowledge on how to do her job properly.   (Back to Top)

  I would like to thank Dr. Arlene Fradkin for being an incredible teacher. She was always available if I needed advice or help with the subject matter. I believe that she truly cares about students' and their well-being both academically and personally. I l oved her enthusiasm, she is awesome! Also, I would like to acknowledge Dr. Josephine Beoku-Betts, Dr. Anna Lawrence, Dr. Marianne Sanua, and Dr. Thomas Wilson for being so helpful and making the learning experience fun!  

  Dr. Fradkin not only helped everyone in her classes to succeed, she encouraged her entire class to participate in discussions and out-of-class activities. Any professor can teach from a textbook, but she took it to another level. Each class I had with her was interesting and fun.

  Dr. Gazourian was a tremendous help, he always had time to relax and talk with my friends and I, about anything.  

  Dr. Gazourian was the most involved faculty member in the Electrical Engineering department, constantly interested in your progress and willing to sit and hang out in his office with students and discuss politics, engineering, FAU, etc. Dr. Neelakanta, wh ile some find him difficult to relate to, is a very helpful advisor and professor once you get to know him. I've never encountered a problem he was unable to give insight to.

They cared about my success, not only for the moment while I was enrolled in their class, but also about my success after college. These are the professors that make FAU the best school ever and these professors are unforgetable for they have made an impact on me while attendin FAU.

Ghuman, Professor Umar
  Abby Ross- helped me plan out classes, and get me to go for honors recognition!!! I love her for letting me know, and encouraging me to go for it! Umar Ghuman- He knows his so much about everything related to his class. He demands participation, critical thinking, he doesn't allow 50% from you. He really taught me to step it up. Mr. Cohen- I loved that class because of the project. He let us have free reign, and I didn't have much help from my team mates, he assisted in my leadership skills. We had the b est presentation that semester. Sunil Babbar- He's got it right, you need to be ethical in life and do your best. Most students hated the class, but they simply don't understand the implications of living an ethical life, on the rest of the world. I real ize I don't have a lot in common with most students.  

  Stuart D Galup - took Database Systems Management with him and he challenged us hard and I learned a lot from him. Umar Ghuman - Global Strategies and Policies, he challenged a lot and I really developed business oriented writing skills. Perry Iz - Quantit ative methods for business - she challenged us hard and I put a lot of effort to do well, it paid off as I recieved an A in the class and really learned how to think quantitativley - same as Perry Iz, Dr Babbar taught operations management and increase my quantitiave thinking skills which help in every day business scenarios.   (Back to Top)

Gifford, Professor Sheryl
  Dr. Konopaske was the most inspirational and influential professor that I have encountered. He provided me with valuable mentorship and guidance towards searching for a career.

I will take all that he taught about presentations, cross-cultural awareness, and making topics fun with me into the workforce. Dr. Pennathur was also an excellent professor. Dr. Pennathur took the time to help us all understand current market conditions and events as well as the course material, which has proven to be more valuable than anything I have ever read in a textbook. Dr. Pennathur always came to class smiling and laughing, making our learning environment exceptional.

  Greg Gilbert He helped me get back into FAU, helped me find motivation to keep my grades up, and helped me become organized and keep up with my major.  

  My answer choices are specifically directed to the Port St. Lucie Campus. The faculty and staff at that campus are a caring and effective team. I can say that all the staff members at that campus helped me succeed; however, in particulare Professor Sugne t has left an everlasting impression upon me as a future teacher. She is an inspiring Professor. Also, Mr. Greg Gilbert was a great help throughout my courses. He effectively guided me in the right direction and was always willing to help when needed.  

  Mr. Gilbert from the Port St. Lucie campus has ALWAYS been professional and any information that I needed he always answered my questions throughly. He was the ONLY FAU Faculty member I trusted to give me the correct information the first time.   (Back to Top)

Gitlen, Teachers A Geoff
  Geoff Gitlen, TA at the time he taught my Methods of Calculus class. Just a phenomenal teacher, he is always willing to help you out. He really gave students the opportunity to get that extra help outside of class. Every week he would run a study session o utside of help. So important to be able to go there and ask a question and watch the way he explained the answer. I have had a lot of good teachers here at FAU, but there have been so many that are very intelligent but lack the necessary skills to teach. S o many of the teachers at FAU struggle to get their message out in the class. They are very knowledgeable people who just need to learn how to teach.   (Back to Top)

Glazer, Professor Stuart
  To pick just one faculty member and to say that they have been the best in helping me would be a disservice and unfair to all that have contributed to my education. In order to be brief and informative I would like to mention three staff members in particu lar that if I did not study with, my education would be severely lacking compared to where it stands currently. Dr. Stuart Glazer has been not only an amazing teacher but he has also been a great mentor and coach. In my four years of having him for private lessons I have to say that he has helped me grow not only with the technical aspects of music but also as an artist and composer. His ways of teaching bring out the artist inside rather than force an agenda and a curriculum on his students. Dr. Kyl e Prescott has taught me more about the subtleties of music than any other professor at the school. His musicality and talent is only surpassed by his knowledge and passion of the subject, which then ultimately becomes contagious unto all of his students.   (Back to Top)

Glynn, Professor Simon
  Simon Glynn. Although it was a Core level course, not even in my field, I really enjoyed who he is. I took his Reason and Value class Freshman year and was not prepared for his personality or to work as hard as he expected me to. I gave up half way through the semester and failed the course. But I really liked the way he thought. So when it came time to re-take the class the summer before my senior year, I chose to take it with Simon Glynn again. I worked hard, the way I should have from the beginning, and got an A in the course. He really challenges the way you think. You just need to be at the right maturity level to get through his class.

Goldring, Professor Deborah

Her class is structured in a way that makes sense to the online learning environment.

I have learned so much from her in my final semester at FAU.   (Back to Top)

Goldstein, Advisor Shari
  My advisors Gina Fourreau and Shari Goldstein. As a transfer student it is difficult to go through the steps via the system and they were very patient at explaining all the steps and helping walk the paper work through between semesters.I will be forever g ratefull.  

  Advisor Joe Waters was exceptionally great in providing much needed information he was always there when you had questions. He was always positive and uplifting. Dr. Smiley (ESE) was an aswesome instructor. She pulled out the best and provided great mat erials and lessons for us to learn by. Instructor Goldstein (ESE) was a fantastic instructor and supervisor. He gave me great support and feedback when I was doing my Fall Practicum. He also was a good instructor.  

  All the ESE faculty: Dr. Warde, Dr. Goldstein, and Dr. Dukes. These professors went above and beyond with each and every student. Thank you!  

  There is a whole family of faculty that have reached out to help me succeed at FAU. Those faculty are Dr. Jeannete Wyneken, Dr. James Nichols, Dr. Dennis Hanisak, Dr. Clay Cook, Dr. Tamara Frank and Dr. Juli Goldstein. As part of the Semester by the Sea program at Harbor Branch, I found my focus. All of the staff at HBOI have a genuine interest in their fields of study and are so warm and encouraging when students wish to join in that community of learning. Dr. James Nichols is the advisor for the Pre-V eterinary club that I founded this year at FAU and his support of ALL of our members' efforts to gain experience and learn have been extremely helpful in re-building leadership and self-confidence. Last but not least, Dr. Jeannete Wyneken has been such a wonderful mentor. Her advising has helped me to improve academically as well as personally. She is always willing to help and to push me to learn more each and every day. I couldn't ask for a better mentor for the Master's program at FAU and I look forw

She is one of the only ones in the psychology office who is like that!!! Please know that I got lucky and had a great advisor as well- Dr. Stackman, but many of my friends who were also psychology majors said they had horrible advisors to deal with. Dr. Peluso and Dr. Stackman were great at helping me with everything and made the graduating process very smooth. I also loved my Cognition class with Jason Grotuss, he is a PhD student. I met with him a few times and he helped me with the applying to gradu ate school process and gave me some good advice. He also wrote me a letter of recommendation which helped in my getting accepted to two graduate programs.   (Back to Top)

Guglielmino, Professor Paul

She also taught me to analyze my decisions to make sure I am solving the problem and not just one of the symptoms of the problem. Dr. Paul Guglielmino has taught me to appreciate other cultures and their differences. He also taught the importance of understanding cultures within and outside of my own country.  

  Two professors offered challenging curriculum and applied concepts to "real life". Both are excellent instructors. They are Janice Cerveny, PhD. and Glenn Williams, PhD. One professor made learning enjoyable by connecting text readings with online discu ssions, interesting in-class discussions, and an informative guest presenter.

Gurses, Professor Dr.
  Dr. Kanner and Dr. Rabil, in my opinion are indispensable members of the Political Science department. They are extremely knowledgable, well organized, and structured. Along with Dr. Gurses, they both are so friendly and encourage students to both ask que stions and participate in class discussions as well...On the contrary, other proffesors in the department are very unorganized, almost completely computer illetarate, and allow the students to monopolize class discussions with their own views instead of st aying focused on the material at hand...Some professors get 'side tracked' so easily and begin to discuss things that are not even relevant to the subject matter.  

  Dr. Eric Prier encouraged me to learn more about the U.S. economy and the impact that it has on the political system. Dr. Mehmet Gurses taught me a substantial amount about the Middle East and the conflicts that have shaped it, influence it today, and wil l continue to occur for many generations. Dr. Patrick Smith was one of the best teachers I have ever had, he taught me more about U.S. foreign policy than any other instructor. He taught me about the history of the presidency, and how each and every one o f them overcame the obstacles they faced. Dr. Becky Mulvaney for teaching me so much about communications and human relations. Because of her I am more politically involved than I ever was.   (Back to Top)

  Graeme Warren- He connects with his students and has a great ability to breakdown the materail so that his students can follow the material and ultimately increase our learning. Harvey Mendelson- His old school approach is most effective. No monkey busin ess, you are there to work and to learn. Much effort is needed to succeed in his class, but you are better off for it. Chris Colbert- He is a new teacher to FAU. He brings much field experience to the classroom, which is how students learn best. Theoreti cal with practical knowledge, this is a great recipe for success. Harry Schwartz- Details are not lacking in this class, Professor Schwartz gives a great model to follow, it is up to the students to take advantage of his guidance and clear direction. He too has many years in his field, this is a huge advantage to the students who take his class. Critical thinking is a must in his class. Nathan Heinnz- His class is interesting and well taught.

Hawkins, Professor
  Professor Sameer Hinduja... He was my first professor at FAU. And as "they" say, first impressions are lasting impressions and he definitely made a great impression on me. He challenged me to think beyond what I already thought of the world and let go of " inside the box" type thinking. He gave me a new perspective on learning and life. He also cared about his students and what each and every one thought. He taught with passion and really understood his subject matter. FAU could not ask for or hire a finer professor. Because of him, I continued my education and went on to experience other great subject matters and professors such as Richter, Shepherd, Atkins, Lamar, McBride, Basuroy, Hawkins, and many more.  

  Dr. Hawkins, What a great teacher, kept class engaged. Was interesting and made you want to learn more. Was one of the reasons I loved FAU. I learned alot in his classes.

  Dr. Sam Hawkins, he is an excellent teacher with a wealth of knowledge. I enjoyed his classes and I learned valuable life lessons in his class as well as the topics covered.  

  Dr. Sam Hawkins - through a combination of material and life experiences provided an important perspective of realism versus idealism as it applies to everyday life. Dr. James Lamare - through the use of theoretical application provided an invaluable educ ation in the importance of analysis skills. Dr. Robert Rabil - through sharing his contagious passion for education refined my ability to process thought and taught me to be more open minded. Dr. Arias - through her methodological teaching taught me the importance of organized thought. Dr. Maclachlan - through her positive reinforcement and constructive criticism propelled me to achieve my best.  

  Dr. Sam Hawkins helped me tremendously during my time at FAU. Being challenged with many obstacles during my studies, Dr. Hawkins always accomodated me in any means necessary. I am very grateful to have had him as a professor and am also glad that the univ ersity hired him. He is such a great person who has a wealth of knowledge to share with his students.  

  Wesley B. Wright--showed me how linguistics is applied in the real world and what sort of opportunities exist for Linguistics majors. Sam H.

  Professors Debbie Fox, Joy McClellan and Dr. Wes Hawkins all encouraged me to work hard. They made me want to learn and strive to do my best. They all gave constructive feedback. Mr. Everiste Ambris as my Field Instructor also played a role in my succes s here at FAU as he showed concerned especially in those times when it seemed as if I would not get a placement for my internship. His determination to ensure I was placed at a agency that would be convienant was there from day one.

He also cared about his students and what each and every one thought. He taught with passion and really understood his subject matter. FAU could not ask for or hire a finer professor. Because of him, I continued my education and went on to experience other great subject matters and professors such as Richter, Shepherd, Atkins, Lamar, McBride, Basuroy, Hawkins, and many more.   (Back to Top)

Hinduja. Sameer, Professor

Carol Prusa encouraged me to read, research, and be produc tive. Elizabeth Atzburger also encouraged me to refine what I was doing, to try and even to fail and to remember editing is a way of learning from your own work what you need to do next.   (Back to Top)

Professor Cory is an excellent advisor and has a true understanding of students' needs. Professors Hollar , Borque and McCue helped me understand the problems of govt. administartion as they relate to bigger, global issues. Professor Spadeas, I feel, was truly concerned in whether the students' learned and always provided great feedback. Professor Bennardo w as the hardest out of all the CJ professors but I consider I gain more constitutional wisdom from his lectures than any others.  

  Yes. Dr. Lucas Hollar was the most efficient instructor I had during my tenure at FAU. I had the privilege of enjoying him as a teacher twice, and in both classes he consistently engaged his students in critical thinking, reading and writing. His assignmen ts were at the appropriate level and he had high expectations for his students. He brought his outside knowledge and passion for public administration into the classroom through knowledgeable lectures and demonstrations. He has a gift for teaching, and I h ope that he continues as a professor at FAU.   (Back to Top)

In Professor Housen's class I learned life lessons! I still remember many of his lessons. He has a gift of teaching...a truly remarkable teacher! 2. Dr. Marion- who taught from her many experiences and vast knowledge on many topics. She consistently encouraged her students (as I was one) to succeed in all areas of life! She a lso was the reason I found out and am now a member of Lambda Pi Eta. She used the book assigned for her class to add to her teaching...she did not use the book as the main source...brilliant doctor! 3. Dr. Shara Pavlow- a true mentor who pours herself in to the many classes she teaches! She always made time for me and never let her VERY BUSY schedule come ahead of her teaching priorities during or after class. She is a great leader for the Community Conversation Corps (AmeriCorps) program now on campus, an

I will take all that he taught about presentations, cross-cultural awareness, and making topics fun with me into the workforce. Dr. Pennathur was also an excellent professor. Dr. Pennathur took the time to help us all understand current market conditions and events as well as the course material, which has proven to be more valuable than anything I have ever read in a textbook. Dr. Pennathur always came to class smiling and laughing, making our learning environment exceptional.

This professor loves what she does and cares genuinely about her students. There is no way to thank her for the education that I received in her classroom. She deserves a raise and to know that she is the very best. 2. Glenn Malone - This is the only advisor I ever went to who was knowledgeable on EVERYTHING! He's the very best! 3.

They pushed me to succeed and encourged me any time I felt discouraged. They truelly are the two most influentual people that I h ave ever met and FAU should be proud that they are part of the faculty!  

  Geri Mayer, Dr. Frazier, Dr. Brooks and Dr. Hughes all played a huge role. The first three allowed me to gain leardership experience as a T.A. running the discussion. Dr. Hughes allowed me to work in his lab and took on the role of my mentor.  

  Dr. Katherine Hughes was always available to answer questions that I had. She was very approachable and demonstrated a genuine concern for her students and their academic progress.  

  I have had one or two professors that really made a positive impact on me and my goals as a future professional. The first class I took was, Social Psychology, with Martha Hubertz. She was absolutely awesome. I subsequently took two more classes with her and gained invaluable knowledge as well as a model as to how I would like to fashion myself in my career. The other professor was Katherine Hughes. She was a wonderful blend of professional, informed, classy and savy. Very good at imparting the info rmation on her subject matter.  

  Dr. Katherine Hughes was one of the best professors I've had. Her passion for the field really shines through in class. She's always available for additional help. I took more than 1 class with her each semester here at FAU. I would recommend her class es to everyone.   (Back to Top)

Hurlburt, Professor Roger
  Tammy Knipp, Roger Hurlburt, Maria Fadiman are three professors who create a passion and drive for learning that only a handful of teachers have the capability to do. Tammy values multi-disciplinary studies and creates a high sense of worth to those of us who are interested in many things. Most often perceived as confusion or lack of focus, Tammy views this trait as a strength within the arts. Roger Hurlburt has such compassion for his students. I was told my pregnancy was going to be an obstacle for con tinuing my education by my advisor and Professor Hurlburt was extremely supportive and accommodating. All of this on top of gripping lectures and passion for the work he does. I would enjoy sitting in a class of his even if I was not receiving credit for his class. The same can be said for Dr. Maria Fadiman. I have only taken one class in Geography, but she is such an amazing professor and a powerful lecturer, I have considered changing or continuing my education in Geography.

Out of all the faculty and staff there I would like to mention Dr. Michelle Ivey, Dr. Eugene Smith, Dr. Nicholas Quintyne, Dr. Sheila Riordan, and Alana Edwards. All o f these individuals deserve special recognition for there outstanding commitment to their students, whether that commitment comes from advising, teaching, or simply listening.

Proressor Jasin is amazing, she is brilliant. She helps students develope their thoughts from incoherent garbage into well organized statements. Professor Pullease is incredibly effective and she makes it her goal to help future teacher teach effectively as well. Professor Carlos Diaz was amazing, he cares so much about the worl d and other cultures that it infects his students with the same compassion. Professor Robert Adams is another excellent teacher, he selects some of the most interesting litrature for discussion and he really lets the students participate in discussion of t he reading.  

  There were three who really helped me to succeed: Dr. Jasin, Dr. Leeds and Dr. Faraci. They really were willing to listen to my, and the other students', experiences and incorporate them into lecture while maintining their class standards. It really help ed to form a three dimensional view of the course that we were sharing.

Dr. Jie Wu hired me via the NSF REU program and it's the bes t work environment I've ever experienced.  

  Dr. Robin Jordan was the most amazing professor I have ever had. I recommend his physics for engineers classes to everyone who ever thinks about taking a class at FAU.

  1.) Becky Mulvaney- I took her practicum in debate class. This is THE class that taught me how to write, think critically, back up my position on something, and overall articulate myself in an informed manner. 2.) Dr.Marin- She taught me how to be comforta ble with myself and as a woman. I took her gender class which opened my eyes to the detailed scaffolding of personal relationships. 3.) Dr.Kanata- Gave the class the advice to "listen twice as much as you talk". She taught us that miscommunications lie in stereotypes and the fear of the unfamiliar. She encouraged us to make the unfamiliar...familiar. 4.) Dr. David Williams- He opened my eyes to the world of Rhetoric and speech writing. I have a deep understanding of how language and words work and the powe r if it through manipulation.  

  Professor Tamie Kanata, Arthur Evans and Patricia Darlington. All of these professors have taught outside the book, and really allow students to express their thoughts. I feel I learned an exceptional amount while enrolled with these three professors and l ove their method of teaching. I would always leave the classroom continuing critically thinking about what was just taught. (I dont do that very often)  

  Betty Colson (Freshen advising)- She has been my adviser for entire time here at FAU. She's more than an adviser, she a close friend.

Dr. Branaman is a great professor who keeps the class engaged th e entire time. Dr. Berger makes learning interesting and fun. Dr. Frezzo is a wonderful professor who knows his material and making learning fun.  

  Dr. Kanner and Dr. Rabil, in my opinion are indispensable members of the Political Science department. They are extremely knowledgable, well organized, and structured. Along with Dr. Gurses, they both are so friendly and encourage students to both ask que stions and participate in class discussions as well...On the contrary, other proffesors in the department are very unorganized, almost completely computer illetarate, and allow the students to monopolize class discussions with their own views instead of st aying focused on the material at hand...Some professors get 'side tracked' so easily and begin to discuss things that are not even relevant to the subject matter.   (Back to Top)

Professor Kevin Wagner also offered excellent and informative classes which I feel I learned and benefited a great deal from, while enjoying it at the same time. His use of technology in the classroom kept students ingaged and informed on current events, and helped to show the material applied to real life situations. His encouragement and understanding made it very easy to participate in class discussion, as I am ver y grateful for taking classes with him.

I took Statistics with him and was constantly impressed by his passion to teach. He truly wanted each of his students to do well. He also took consideration into the fact this his students worked and he would always make sure that at least on of his review sessions for his exams were in the evening. In the Criminal Justice program, I feel that Frank Bernardo was the most influencial on me. He was definately the most difficult professor I had at FAU and is the reason I have 2 B's on my otherwise perfect straight A record at FAU; however he was the teacher I learned the most from and he helped shape my view of our criminal justice system. He a lso changed my career path - he encouraged me to attend law school and said that you are never too old to do something. I still think about that and will be applying to law schools next year, even though I will be 35 by the time I graduate from law school.   (Back to Top)

Klein, Assistant Brett
  Brett Klein, former Assistant Director of Student Development and Activities, helped me gain leadership skills that are invaluable to me now. David Courtney, former Assistant Professor in Art History, was the only art history professor that taught art hist ory. His learned view allowed me to first question all that I knew and to research and grow into the person I am today. Blane De St. Croix, Professor of Sculpture, help me focus on my academic goals while making sure I never wavered.   (Back to Top)

Klingler, Professor
  Professor Viola gave me the confidence to stay in class and finish Linear Algebra II. Conceptually, this was a difficult course, but Mr. Viola set up times to work with the students, including myself, to review the materials. I would not have graduated t his semester had I dropped the course. Mr. Klingler was one of the most 'real' teachers @ FAU. Not a push over, but sensitive enough to be willing to reteach some material if necessary. He made a very difficult class doable! Joe Waters should be to p dog in the Education Department! He is one of the most professional, nice, and timely administrators @ FAU.  

  Prof. Klingler in the math dept. always took the time to answer questions and encourage his students.   (Back to Top)

Knight, Professor Rainford
  1. Vidya Ragoo-Munghal - WBBA Advisor...great support system though the hard times at school, good listener, very proactive, responsive and genuinely caring person 2. Professor Rainford Knight - Finance...critical thinking and effectively showing how you can apply what you learn in the classroom to real life. 3. Professor CM Sashi - Marketing...stretched my thinking, challenged me to think outside the box...deep 4. Professor Allen Smith - Marketing..excited about teaching and very concerned that you were learning 5. Professor Ellison - Business Law..very caring, thoughtful, but att he same time streched my thinking, didn't let me slack up on the work, always available to help, excited about teaching, cared that you learned not just bookstuff, but could a pply what you learned in the classroom to real life.  

  Professor Ramsford Knight is by far the best professor I had during my program. He made the difficult subject matter simple and practical.   (Back to Top)

Knipp, Professor Tammy
  Tammy Knipp, Roger Hurlburt, Maria Fadiman are three professors who create a passion and drive for learning that only a handful of teachers have the capability to do. Tammy values multi-disciplinary studies and creates a high sense of worth to those of us who are interested in many things. Most often perceived as confusion or lack of focus, Tammy views this trait as a strength within the arts. Roger Hurlburt has such compassion for his students. I was told my pregnancy was going to be an obstacle for con tinuing my education by my advisor and Professor Hurlburt was extremely supportive and accommodating. All of this on top of gripping lectures and passion for the work he does. I would enjoy sitting in a class of his even if I was not receiving credit for his class. The same can be said for Dr. Maria Fadiman. I have only taken one class in Geography, but she is such an amazing professor and a powerful lecturer, I have considered changing or continuing my education in Geography. The passion she brings to c  

  Tammy Knipp. She pushed me the hardest. One of the biggest obstacles as an artist is to not only think out side the box but to loose the box entirely. Learning to loose the box has changed my views on design and in turn made me into a better artist.  

  David Courtney was a professor who really got me thinking. His courses opened my eyes to new perspectives but, FAU didn't want to pay him enough so, he quit... and they replaced him with an instructor the same day class began rather than letting us know a head of time. Good Job FAU. Tammy Knipp is also a very effective professor, she taught me how to filter process and mangle information until it is interesting for presentation but, FAU hired some awful teacher to take over her Design Methodology course i n my last semester which left me wishing I had applied for graduation a semester early as this class I was looking forward to learning in became a massive waste of time.   (Back to Top)

Kohlbeck, Professor Dr.
  I had two professors that really stand out as exceptional during my time at FAU: During my first semester at FAU, Dr. Kohlbeck gave me advice and guidance that set me on the right track for achieving my academic goals. He also is an outstanding professor and I felt like I learned a great deal in his class. Dr. Friedberg is a fantastic professor. Unlike many of the professors I encountered at FAU who just read their power point slides to the class, Dr. Friedberg teaches, he makes the subjects interesting and challenging.   (Back to Top)

Koku, Professor Dr.
  Dr. Koku, he is a very knowledgeable and experienced professor. He inspired me to continue my studies and succeed in life.   (Back to Top)

Kollander, Professor
  Professor Engle and Professor Kollander of the history department were two key figures, ready and willing to discuss any question I had about my classes and my transcript.  

  Dr. Robin Jordan was the most amazing professor I have ever had. I recommend his physics for engineers classes to everyone who ever thinks about taking a class at FAU. His teaching style was the most effective. Dr. Kollander was my History of Civilization teacher; I almost switched majors to history because of her, and I despised history prior to her course.  

  Mary Moffet and Jacqueline Kern. My favorite teachers were, Dr. Kollander (history), Dr. McGetchin (history), Mr. Mangan (Criminal Justice), and Dr. Morton (Political Science).   (Back to Top)

Konopaske, Professor Dr.
  Dr. Konopaske was the most inspirational and influential professor that I have encountered. He provided me with valuable mentorship and guidance towards searching for a career. Dr. K. was the best public speaker that I have had the honor to learn from. I will take all that he taught about presentations, cross-cultural awareness, and making topics fun with me into the workforce. Dr. Pennathur was also an excellent professor. Dr. Pennathur took the time to help us all understand current market conditions and events as well as the course material, which has proven to be more valuable than anything I have ever read in a textbook. Dr. Pennathur always came to class smiling and laughing, making our learning environment exceptional. Miss Sheryl Gifford als o helped to shape the wonderful college experience that I had while at FAU. She brought a sense of originality to subjects which sparked interests in me that I did not know that I had. Her guidance and advice also helped to build enormous confidence in m   (Back to Top)

Konoposke, Professor Arthur
  Dr. Eric Chiang was always prepared for class and made it enjoyable and enouraged students to participate. Dr. Arthur Konoposke was always prepared, very knowledgable about the subject and his class allowed me to grow as a person. Dr. Emilio Zarruk was alw ays prepared and allowed students to think on their own. Very knowledgable about subject and explained well. Dr. Desislava and Georgieva Budeva were always prepared and I loved that she incorporated her international background and experiences into the cla ssroom. Dr. Jay Subrahmanian and Dr. Jules Pierre were very knowledgable about subjects and always willing to help students succeed.  

  Dr. Konoposke.   (Back to Top)

Koretzky, as Michael
  The one person who helped me out the most during my time at FAU was Michael Koretzky. His real-life experience, his dedication to students, as well as his honest and helpful advice was one of the only reasons I didn't transfer to another university. The Co mmunications department is a waste of time and while I would recommend FAU to incoming or transfer students, I would warn them about the horror that is the School of Communications. However, I would also tell them that Michael Koretzky is worth the time a t FAU for the sheer fact that he is the only one who is willing to work with students to the point of getting them started with a career.   (Back to Top)

  Beth Koufteros- Her Human Resource classes were knowledgable and enjoyable.  

  Dr. Koufteros without a doubt is the faculty member who helped me realize the importance of critical thinking. In addition, Dr. Shashi did a remarkable job as well.  

  Dr. Rupert Rhodd gave lots of encouragement to see the possibilities. Dr. Xenophon Koufteros stressed the importance of time management. Kenna O'Leary gave guidance in choosing the path of courses that I had the right information at the right time.   (Back to Top)

I would have loved to have had her for more classes.

Lamar, Professor
  Professor Sameer Hinduja... He was my first professor at FAU. And as "they" say, first impressions are lasting impressions and he definitely made a great impression on me. He challenged me to think beyond what I already thought of the world and let go of " inside the box" type thinking. He gave me a new perspective on learning and life. He also cared about his students and what each and every one thought. He taught with passion and really understood his subject matter. FAU could not ask for or hire a finer professor. Because of him, I continued my education and went on to experience other great subject matters and professors such as Richter, Shepherd, Atkins, Lamar, McBride, Basuroy, Hawkins, and many more.   (Back to Top)

Lamare, Professor James
  Dr. Sam Hawkins - through a combination of material and life experiences provided an important perspective of realism versus idealism as it applies to everyday life.

Professor Jasmine and Professor Kurijaka held the highest standards for us! Professor Car los Diaz was a wonderful educator with high standards.  

  I was greatly inspired by professor Leeds. Although I was unable to take more than one class he cultivated a desire to learn and constantly challenge myself to question tradition.  

  Professor Leeds is THE BEST teacher I have ever had. He is so enthusiastic and thorough with his teaching. He's a wonderful individual and he really does care about his students. Proressor Jasin is amazing, she is brilliant. She helps students develope their thoughts from incoherent garbage into well organized statements. Professor Pullease is incredibly effective and she makes it her goal to help future teacher teach effectively as well. Professor Carlos Diaz was amazing, he cares so much about the worl d and other cultures that it infects his students with the same compassion. Professor Robert Adams is another excellent teacher, he selects some of the most interesting litrature for discussion and he really lets the students participate in discussion of t he reading.  

  The only professor that really inspired me to pursue my passion, through his zeal for literature, was Leeds; I have never expierenced a professor give each lecture with so much love for the content and the ability to make it comprehensible to his students, on an intriguing level! He is really sensational.  

  Dr. Kurjiaka was very helpful. She is such an inspiration and to know her has been a pleasure. This past spring I attended classes while pregnant. All my professors did what they could to assist me in successfully finishing. Thank you, Dr. Childrey, Dr. Le eds, and Dr. K.  

  There were three who really helped me to succeed: Dr. Jasin, Dr. Leeds and Dr. Faraci. They really were willing to listen to my, and the other students', experiences and incorporate them into lecture while maintining their class standards. It really help ed to form a three dimensional view of the course that we were sharing.  

  Dr. Leeds and Dr. Blakemore are both giants of men with regards to their teaching abilities. The greatest learning opportunities came from these two professors because they offered their knowledge, their passion and their command of the classroom to all w ho entered. I am sincerely grateful to have had classes with them both. My conscience, my understanding and my compassion for others have all been greatly enriched because of them. Thank you both for adding so much to this student's life.

She has alot to offer with her many years of experience. Mrs. Jodi Leit- Provided a classroom atmos phere of higher learning, ethical practices, and exhibited a sincere concern for her students.

  Mrs. Leit was wonderful. So was Dr. Estes! I wish I could take Dr. Ploger's class, again - that's how informative it was! I learned a lot from Dr. Leistner, as well, and Drs. Enger and Sacharow's classes were great!  

  Mr. Leistner probably helped the most in understanding initial lesson set-ups and literature. Mrs. Dassa really took an interest and cared to help.  

  During my my two years at FAU I have came across many teachers that have influenced in me in my educational profession. However, their is one teacher who in my first year at FAU was more creative and helpful then anyone I had ever met and that was Professo r Timothy Leistner. Professor Leistner has to be one of the best teachers that I have had the pleasure to meet throughout my college experience. I had never seen a college professor more hands-on and involved then Mr. Leistner. During our class I always le ft with a sense of understanding and although we had many projects and papers that were due, I never felt overwhelmed. Professor Leistner always explained things thoroughly leaving no doubt or worry in my mind. I left his class learning more about children 's literature then I had anywhere else. His classes were never boring on the contrary something new and exciting was always accruing. Overall, I can safely say that Timothy Leistner is a professor I would recommend to anyone who seeks a professor that is   (Back to Top)

Dr. Pennathur always came to class smiling and laughing, making our learning environment exceptional. Miss Sheryl Gifford als o helped to shape the wonderful college experience that I had while at FAU. She brought a sense of originality to subjects which sparked interests in me that I did not know that I had. Her guidance and advice also helped to build enormous confidence in m   (Back to Top)

Lindbeck, Professor Dr.
  Dr. Lindbeck for my Jewish Studies classes. She was always assisting me with extra help and understood my situation. She is a very interesting teacher and is very fair. Her teaching style helped me to take in the information and learn it as suppose to just learning information for the sake of the class or to get a good grade. If I could have taken more classes with I would have. I highly recommend Dr. Lindbeck as one of the greatest professors on campus.   (Back to Top)

Barrios and Prof D.Howell and Dr. R. Cooper. These educator s were very concise and helpful in having the students to meet the objectives set for the course. Their style of teaching was not intimidating as some of the others were.   (Back to Top)

Louda, Professor D.
  Dr. H. Jay Lyons was a very effective professor, as well as Dr. D. Louda.  

  I had one exceptional teacher each semester: J. Jakubow / PSB 3002- very personable teacher, helpful, and the only professor to offer me any individual career / course guidance while at FAU D. Louda / BCH 3033- Fantastic professor, very clear, organized, a nd structured - taught me all I know about chemistry, since the other teachers I had in the chem department at FAU were awful (especially <%C. Parkyani%>). E. Frazier / PCB 4674 - *Best* professor for actually encouraging independent critical thinking, mos t unique course format involving a lot of group activities and non-traditional teaching beyond the standard lectures. E. Barenholtz / EXP 3505 - great at involving discussion and critical thinking in the classroom activities.  

  Dr. Deborah Louda especially helped me to succeed. She was influential in teaching me the essentials I needed to obtain a great study habit. Dr. Louda teaches her class so that the material is difficult but easy to understand. She is clear and concise. I can say without a doubt in my mind that she is the greatest professor I have had and to this day I can still remember more than 90% of the material she taught. Thanks Dr. Louda!  

  Dr. Gross (Physics) and Dr. Louda (Biochemistry) - they were the most effective professors with respect to teaching the material - although the work was challenging, they prepared you for it. Of all the professors I have had at FAU, both Dr. Gross and Dr. Louda were most concerned about whether their students had been learning.  

  Dr. Snyder, Dr Vincent, Dr William Louda, Pam and Mr Loreto all helped me greatly finished my DIS of which I am enormously grateful for. They all were supportive, understanding and motivating. Dr Haky gave me some good advising too.   (Back to Top)

Louis-Turgeon, Professor Anne
  Dr. Edward Turgeon and Dr. Anne Louis-Turgeon both greatly contributed to my success in college. The way they communicated musical ideas and history gave me a better understanding of my field. In one of my lessons, Anne told me to focus my time on becoming an artist not just a musician. That statement transformed the way I viewed my education in the area of music. My senior year was the most difficult year for me since my father passed away due to colon cancer. The Turgeons were there to help me through t his difficult time. They were flexibile with my schedule while I visited my father in the hospital. They gave me make-up lessons when necessary. They invested time into my family, inviting us over for dinner. They are not only professors to me; they have b ecome life long friends, inspiring me to invest in my own future students in this way. Without their support, I would not have been able to finish graduating this semester.   (Back to Top)

Low, Professor J.
  I had two very inspirational teachers at FAU - Dr. W. Bradley and Dr. J. Caputi. Dr. Caputi made me see the world in a whole new light. After taking her class, my brain just kept going *pop* *pop* *pop*. New connections between myths, religion, movies, spo rts, human & societal behavior, our eating habits, literature, prisons, life, death - you name it, it was illuminated. Seriously, I think that every student should be required to take one of her classes! Dr. Bradley took the time to mentor his students a nd he helped me believe in my dream. Other teachers whom I learned a tremendous amount from and was greatly inspired by are: Dr. E. Berlatski, Dr. J. Low, Dr. C. McGuirk, Dr. C. Neile and last, but definitely not least, Professor P. Bucak.   (Back to Top)

Lowe, Professor Dr.
  Dr.Lowe, I learned so much from him about research and culture. He is by far one the most influential instructors I have ever had. I also Dr. Palma, she has helped to develop into a better nurse. She was also one of the most influential instructors I had while at FAU.  

  Dr. Archibald and Dr. Lowe have been positive professional and academic nursing role models who have increased my knowledge beyond my expectations.   (Back to Top)

Lumpkin, Professor
  I had a few great teachers as well as a few bad ones. The history teachers (Lawrence, Sanua), psychology teacher (Lumpkin), logic teacher (Dobson), computer teacher (Binder) were the best. Some of the teacher in the education college were the worst.   (Back to Top)

Lynch, Advisor
  Professors Jodi Leit, Estes, and the advisement dept on the Davie campus (Lynch) They were all very helpful and gave meaningful advice.  

  A staff member who I felt helped me succeed was Marsha Lynch. She is a great advisor, and encourager. I had difficuly passing the Math section of the General Knowledge test, and she had faith in me.  

  Marsha Lynch because she actually took her time to speak with me about my concerns.  

  My advisor, Marsha Lynch was so helpful to me. Coming in as a returning student after years of being out of school, she helped me receive credit for previous course work. She also helped me to stay on track with my testing and classes. I appreciate all that she did! My EDG 3323 teacher, Jodi Leit was a fabulous teacher. She was enthusiastic and a real role model of efficiency for this difficult class. Kim Scarola who taught LAE 4353 had us very involved with the students. We did hands on assignments an d worked in small groups with one another. She was always involved with us. I feel that this was my first student teaching experience. It reconfirmed my love for teaching.  

  Professor Flaks! He was the most amazing teach I ever had! Also, Christine Lynch.  

  Professor Leit; Dr. Rhone; Mrs. Lynch; and Mrs. Brant. All of these ladies were an amazing help! Anything I needed they were happy to help. They are truly wonderful representatives of FAU. They deserve a raise!  

  Professor Jodi Leit comes immediately to mind, she upheld the greatest professionalism. She offered the most support, was was very clear and specific when presenting assignments, and she was very pleasant. Also, Marsha Lynch (she was the great!)  

  Marsha Lynch was a great help and was always there to give me information and get me back on track. I just met Maria Provost today but she was really nice to me and helped me out with this process. I really appreciated her patience a lot.  

  Marsha Lynch was one person who really helped me to succeed at FAU. Before I changed my major from Education to Arts and Humanities she would always help me out with any concerns that I may have had. She was always very patient and attentive. She always returned my calls and e-mails.   (Back to Top)

Mabry, Professor
  Professor Mabry and Professor Eason.  

  Yes, unfortunately she was an adjunct professor that has since been let go. Rochelle Mabry at the Davie campus was a tremendous influence on my education and the learning behavior I acquired. I had 3 classes with her for Film and I learned a great deal f rom her teaching methods. I even appealed to FAU in Boca to retain her once I heard that she was required to end her tenure with you.   (Back to Top)

Machado, Professor Dr.
  I preferred most of my English courses because they were smaller and easier to communicate with the professor. My Science classes were mainly 100-300 student group large and there was a major disconnect with the professors. The few classes I took at Davie campus were smaller and more personal, I wish I had taken more. The professors at Davie also seem like more hands- on teachers and are usually better able to explain things to you directly. Worst experience was with <%Ayyanathan%>- mol and cell biology. An d I was stupid enough to take the class twice and fail twice, I knew I wasn't a poor student. Because I retook the class and did well. I believe he was a poor teacher. Good teachers like Dr. Machado, Dr. Stover, forgot his name- he teaches Biodiversity- ma rine biologist, another at davie that teaches Biochemistry.  

  Dr. Machado was definitely the best professor I have ever had. Not only did she have high expectations and challenged me academically, but she was also there for support and help when needed. She was one of the few professors, when I was done with the cour se, made me feel like a smarter and accomplished student. At the end, I was happy she pushed us so hard.  

  Dr. Dalleo has made me feel that he cares about my success as a student. He has spent many hours going over materials that I did not understand, and he never made me feel as though I was taking up his time. He is one of the best professors I have had, an d he truly cares about his students. Dr. E Machado has also inspired me to write a book. She made me believe that I have the ability to do so. She was also instrumental in letting me meet my favorite author Edwidge Danticat.  

  Elena Machado-She is a fantastic facilitator. She requires high standards on all work and challenges all of her students. She also cares about each of her students and his/her education.

Maclachlan, Professor Dr.
  Dr. Sam Hawkins - through a combination of material and life experiences provided an important perspective of realism versus idealism as it applies to everyday life. Dr. James Lamare - through the use of theoretical application provided an invaluable educ ation in the importance of analysis skills. Dr. Robert Rabil - through sharing his contagious passion for education refined my ability to process thought and taught me to be more open minded. Dr. Arias - through her methodological teaching taught me the importance of organized thought.

Malone, Advisor Glenn
  Glenn Malone was always there when I needed help in regards of what I need to do to graduate and do good in school as well as Everest had gave me some counseling during my last year.  

  Glenn Malone was such a big help for me. I lived in Palm Beach Gardens and had to go to the Davie campus because it was the only campus with psychology night classes, because I have always had a full time job to pay the bills so I could go to college. The classes that were offered at night were lower classes and he helped me with figuring our my schedule and making the upper classes available for me to take. It took me 8 years because there would only be one night class a semester available. I thank him so much for helping me with my classes and being able to graduate this summer.  

  Glenn Malone, my advisor, has been incredibly helpful. I do not know if I would be graduating right now without him. He knew the answer for every obstacle that came along my path and always had a solution to help me, including questions regarding what to do after graduation.  

  One particular advisor: Glenn Malone. He was easy to get a hold of, helped me in selecting courses and getting through to graduation, and listened to what I would ask and responded with information which proved very helpful. He is the one advisor I recomme nd to other students.  

  First and foremost, Glenn Malone. Without his tutelage, guidance and laudatory efforts, none of this would have been tangible. He empowered me with the hope and optimism necessary to transform my lackluster GPA and Curriculum Vitae into graduate-level ma terial. Dr. David Bjorklund, for taking a chance on me and granting me entrance into his Honor's Seminar and lab. Dr. Todd K. Shackelford for expanding my mind, enriching my understanding of biological life and for furthering my epistemological endeavors. Dr. Cheri Surloff, for being so passionate and caring in her teaching approach.  

  1. Gina Careno - This professor is FAU's very best. She helped me to develop a passion for sociology and the importance of ones capability to apply it to their own life. This professor loves what she does and cares genuinely about her students. There is no way to thank her for the education that I received in her classroom. She deserves a raise and to know that she is the very best. 2. Glenn Malone - This is the only advisor I ever went to who was knowledgeable on EVERYTHING! He's the very best! 3. Martha H ubertz - I loved going to her classes... they were always challenging and informative. I took her multiple times!   (Back to Top)

Mangan, Professor
  Professor Mangan, Mark Frezzo, & Bruce Arneklev  

  My success was due, in part, to Professors Mangan, Rabil, and Morton. They all taught at exceptional levels and contributed to my learning greatly. Their lesson plans were concise, informative, and interesting every single class. All three truly enjoy teac hing and I'm glad that I was able to take their classes.  

  Professor Mangan had a profound influence on my future. He is the only teacher who seemed to care a great deal about their students success. He helped me in many ways including: informing me of all job fairs; providing me with advice based on his career in law enforcement; revising my resume; writing a letter of reccommendation for me and preparing me for the future.  

  Mary Moffet and Jacqueline Kern. My favorite teachers were, Dr. Kollander (history), Dr. McGetchin (history), Mr. Mangan (Criminal Justice), and Dr. Morton (Political Science).  

  Richard Mangan, he is a great and interesting teacher.  

  Professor Richard Mangan, he allowed for us to meet with public officials and see the real side of government jobs and duties. He also gave so much information and detail about his subjects that you will always remember. I always felt like I gained a lot f rom his classes; I took everyone of his classes because he is just that great of a professor.  

  Richard Mangan is a great professor. His in depth knowledge and experience in the field of Criminal Justice is a valuable resource and his ability to present the information in an interesting manner has increased my retention ten fold.   (Back to Top)

Marin, Professor Dr.
  Dr. Williams, Dr. Mulvaney, and Dr. Marin of the communications department gave me a deep appreciation for the study. I learned more in their classes than all my other classes combined. They inspired me to work hard in their classes.  

  1.) Becky Mulvaney- I took her practicum in debate class. This is THE class that taught me how to write, think critically, back up my position on something, and overall articulate myself in an informed manner. 2.) Dr.Marin- She taught me how to be comforta ble with myself and as a woman. I took her gender class which opened my eyes to the detailed scaffolding of personal relationships. 3.) Dr.Kanata- Gave the class the advice to "listen twice as much as you talk". She taught us that miscommunications lie in stereotypes and the fear of the unfamiliar. She encouraged us to make the unfamiliar...familiar. 4.) Dr. David Williams- He opened my eyes to the world of Rhetoric and speech writing. I have a deep understanding of how language and words work and the powe r if it through manipulation.

Dr. Marion- who taught from her many experiences and vast knowledge on many topics. She consistently encouraged her students (as I was one) to succeed in all areas of life! She a lso was the reason I found out and am now a member of Lambda Pi Eta. She used the book assigned for her class to add to her teaching...she did not use the book as the main source...brilliant doctor! 3. Dr. Shara Pavlow- a true mentor who pours herself in to the many classes she teaches!

Martinez, Professor Leonardo
  Dr. Leonardo Martinez(Astronomy); when he sat down with a student, you could see in his eyes that he was honestly concerned about how well you did in his class. He was willing to listen and understood that students ARE HUMANS and not everyone in college is trying to skate by. If ALL professors at FAU were as concerned about there students as Dr.Martinez and didn't treat students with a long handled spoon, I believe there would be much more success and cohesion at FAU.   (Back to Top)

He provided helpful information and suggestions. With the exception of Mr. Jaffe, I found myself expl aining the rules in the catalog to the other advisors during my time at FAU.

He challenged me to think beyond what I already thought of the world and let go of " inside the box" type thinking. He gave me a new perspective on learning and life. He also cared about his students and what each and every one thought. He taught with passion and really understood his subject matter. FAU could not ask for or hire a finer professor. Because of him, I continued my education and went on to experience other great subject matters and professors such as Richter, Shepherd, Atkins, Lamar, McBride, Basuroy, Hawkins, and many more.   (Back to Top)

But the one professor who really stood out and went above and beyond was professor McCue. Not only did he really care but he has the experience and knowledge to really teach us what to expect for our future careers and how to be a great leader.  

  Professor McCue, who is in the school of Public Administration, was very helpful in my Introduction to Public Administration. He showed the class different fields in the Public Administration area.  

  Dr. C. McCue and Dr. S. Santos of the Public Management Department went out of their way on numerous occasions to provide me with the inspiration and encouragement that I needed to complete a degree. On one occasion, Dr. McCue went so far as meeting me wi th little advance notice to provide me with suggestions and advice that later proved to be quite valuable. Both Dr. McCue and Dr. Santos are an asset to FAU.

Here are some of the special professors that I want to thank for all their time, effort, and hope spent on me; William R. McDaniel, Cecelia Kempler, Alvin Wander, Brenda E. Richey and Anna Agapova; these professors gave me a lot of the hard and difficult tasks, and they will last the longest in my memories of FAU.

McGetchin, Professor Doug
  Mr. Doug McGetchin of the Jupiter Campus. He effectively taught me the correct way to use a library for research and how to write a term paper properly. His methods of teaching are very detailed and he gave great feedback to all students. He cared for the success of each student and took the time whenever you needed for help. I wish i took his course as a freshmen because it would have prepared me for all of my colleges papers.  

  Professor Douglas McGetchin at Jupiter Campus has been, by far, the best professor I have ever had. The entire department needs to be like him. Claudia Dunlea is also a fairly good teacher, as well as Mark Rose. Besides those 3 teachers, I have not had one single good teacher at FAU. I was very disappointed at the level of politics being taught in class - opposed to the coursework. I have personally received poor grades on assignments because of my views differing from that of the teacher. This is not why I went to college. Thankfully professors like McGetchin, Dunlea, and Rose were able to make class fun, interesting, and not force politics down our throats.

McGuirk, Professor
  There were a few professors who really helped me to be successful throughout my college experience. These teachers were able to realize that we are not only students, but mothers, fathers, employees, etc. who live difficult lives outside of the school set ting. Some of these professors include Dr. Blakemore, Professor McGuirk, Dr. Romeo, and Mrs. Cross. Without these teachers' flexibility and absolute knowledge of their content area, my experience here at FAU may not have been as successful, rewarding, an d enjoyable as it has been. Thank you, to these excellent professors for their devotion to their students and their success!  

  All my professors did their best to assist in my success; however, Dr. McGuirk is really special, because fall '07, I became very ill. I had four classes and was on the verge of failing her's and another's, but she never gave up on me. She was generously s ympathetic and truly encouraging; as a result, I stayed focus and was able to pass all my classes with excellent grages.   (Back to Top)

  Dr. Morton (who teaches classes in the field of international relations in the Department of Political Science) was far and away the best professor that I've had at FAU. His classes are challenging, he covers a lot of material and expects a lot from his s tudents. He has a stern, but caring nature that encourages you to do your best not just for your sake, but also for his. He is the sort of professor that students do not want to disappoint. You can learn more in one week of Dr. Morton's classes than you would learn in an entire semester with other professors.

I also did a Direct Independent study with her and got to know her a little better through that. She just has this amazing willingness to help others and is so genuine when speaking with you, and just makes you feel good. Thank you Becky for changing my life through your guidance and kindness.

  Dr. Gazourian was the most involved faculty member in the Electrical Engineering department, constantly interested in your progress and willing to sit and hang out in his office with students and discuss politics, engineering, FAU, etc. Dr. Neelakanta, wh ile some find him difficult to relate to, is a very helpful advisor and professor once you get to know him.

  I had two very inspirational teachers at FAU - Dr. W. Bradley and Dr. J. Caputi. Dr. Caputi made me see the world in a whole new light. After taking her class, my brain just kept going *pop* *pop* *pop*. New connections between myths, religion, movies, spo rts, human & societal behavior, our eating habits, literature, prisons, life, death - you name it, it was illuminated. Seriously, I think that every student should be required to take one of her classes! Dr. Bradley took the time to mentor his students a nd he helped me believe in my dream. Other teachers whom I learned a tremendous amount from and was greatly inspired by are: Dr. E. Berlatski, Dr. J. Low, Dr. C. McGuirk, Dr. C. Neile and last, but definitely not least, Professor P. Bucak.  

  William Bradley of the English Department encouraged me to become a writer in a world where literature seems to be a lost art. He showed me that it is possible as long as you take the steps to get there. Caren Neile of the Communications Department has s hown me that there is more to learning than books and papers. Learning involves experience and compassion as well. She helped me realize that grades aren't everything, but once you realize that, it becomes less stressful to make those A's.

  Professor Keith Platt was challenging, yet inspirational during my first year of social work classes. He inspired me to challenge myself academically while raising my social conscience. He is the perfect example of a social worker!  

  Prof. Keith Platt's classes had just the right balance of challenge and freedom, they allowed you to be who you are, but also to bring out the best parts of who you are. He personally offers just enough encouragement to make you want to become a better an d more active participant in the lives of others as well as in your own life.   (Back to Top)

Ploger, Professor Dr.
  Mrs. Leit was wonderful. So was Dr. Estes! I wish I could take Dr. Ploger's class, again - that's how informative it was! I learned a lot from Dr. Leistner, as well, and Drs. Enger and Sacharow's classes were great!  

  I have had many outstanding teachers here at FAU. Dr. Enger - helped explain the assessment methods in a way that was conprehensible and took extra time with students that needed extra help. Dr. Nitt brought enthusiasm to the classroom and provided extra h elp. Dr. Ploger made learning to teach math fun and interesting. Dr. Estes provided countless materials and ideas for real-world applications.   (Back to Top)

Polakit, Professor
  Professor Polakit was a great professor in most of the classes I took with her. She was always willing to help and listen. Also Professor Friar helped me in my writing skills, which I greatly appreciate.  

  Professor Jim Carras helped me immensley in grasping certain concepts, was always available when help was needed, assisted in helping me find an internship as well as additional work. Dr. Propseri, who pushed me to work harder, retain more because I coul d do it, I just was not giving my full 100%. He encouraged me to get involved in the study abroad trip which gave me the experience of my life. Dr. Kasama Polakit for making the subject material interesting. I have taken 3 classes with her and would cont inue taking more of her classes if I hadn't already taken them all!! Dr. Jaap Vos for being a great advisor and helping me understand what classes to take and when to take them. As well, Dr. Vos informed me of graduate scholarships and programs and about waterway cleanups, Wednesday lectures, etc which helped me to become involved and enroll in the departmental programs.  

  I found Dr. Kasama Polakit to be the most enlightening Professor in the URP program. She is a realistic planner however that does not stop her from encouraging each student to use their own imaginations to solve problems by thinking out of the box. Very Refreshing.   (Back to Top)

Premuroso, Professor Dr.
  The majority of instructors that I had were wonderful. Especially Mr. Premuroso (Inter. Accounting III). It was obvious that he loved teaching. His real world experience helped tremendously in the classroom and was able to give his students a unique pers pective.   (Back to Top)

Prescott, Professor Kyle
  To pick just one faculty member and to say that they have been the best in helping me would be a disservice and unfair to all that have contributed to my education. In order to be brief and informative I would like to mention three staff members in particu lar that if I did not study with, my education would be severely lacking compared to where it stands currently. Dr. Stuart Glazer has been not only an amazing teacher but he has also been a great mentor and coach. In my four years of having him for private lessons I have to say that he has helped me grow not only with the technical aspects of music but also as an artist and composer. His ways of teaching bring out the artist inside rather than force an agenda and a curriculum on his students. Dr. Kyl e Prescott has taught me more about the subtleties of music than any other professor at the school. His musicality and talent is only surpassed by his knowledge and passion of the subject, which then ultimately becomes contagious unto all of his students.  

  Dr. Kyle Prescott greatly contributed to my success by graciously contributing his time and effort on my behalf, enabling me to achieve my goals in an expeditious manor.  

  Dr. Kyle Prescott, Dr. Sean Murry, Professor Conte and Dr. Dahmus.   (Back to Top)

Prier, Professor Dr.
  Dr. Prier helped me extremely. Dr. Santamaria Maria was excellent in helping me prepare for a career in communications.  

  Dr. Prier Teaches you to look beyond words and see actions, make you want to ask 'why?' and to to think for yourself. He inspires and challenges you to be a crtitcal thinker, and explore outside your 'box'.  

  Dr. Eric Prier encouraged me to learn more about the U.S. economy and the impact that it has on the political system. Dr. Mehmet Gurses taught me a substantial amount about the Middle East and the conflicts that have shaped it, influence it today, and wil l continue to occur for many generations. Dr. Patrick Smith was one of the best teachers I have ever had, he taught me more about U.S. foreign policy than any other instructor. He taught me about the history of the presidency, and how each and every one o f them overcame the obstacles they faced. Dr. Becky Mulvaney for teaching me so much about communications and human relations. Because of her I am more politically involved than I ever was.   (Back to Top)

I wish more professors were that strict.   (Back to Top)

Provost, Advisor Maria
  Maria Provost helped me out a lot at the end. I was given wrong information from other faculty members and was completly lost. She guided me in the right direction and because of her help, I am graduating next month.

  All of my studio art professors were fantastic. Amy Broderick encouraged me to push my drawing skill to new levels. Walter Hnatysh always gave me reason to keep improving my work on a formal level. Carol Prusa encouraged me to read, research, and be produc tive. Elizabeth Atzburger also encouraged me to refine what I was doing, to try and even to fail and to remember editing is a way of learning from your own work what you need to do next.   (Back to Top)

Pullease, Professor
  There are several members of the faculty that greatly appreciate. Mr. Leeds is a wonderful educator. Professor Pullease was so comprehensive on her teacher education. Professor Jasmine and Professor Kurijaka held the highest standards for us! Professor Car los Diaz was a wonderful educator with high standards.  

  Professor Leeds is THE BEST teacher I have ever had. He is so enthusiastic and thorough with his teaching. He's a wonderful individual and he really does care about his students. Proressor Jasin is amazing, she is brilliant. She helps students develope their thoughts from incoherent garbage into well organized statements. Professor Pullease is incredibly effective and she makes it her goal to help future teacher teach effectively as well. Professor Carlos Diaz was amazing, he cares so much about the worl d and other cultures that it infects his students with the same compassion. Professor Robert Adams is another excellent teacher, he selects some of the most interesting litrature for discussion and he really lets the students participate in discussion of t he reading.  

  Barbara Pullease - Helped guide me in the education field. Trudy Carter - Fiesty, Informative, Helpful. Mark Scroggins- Brilliant, Informative. Berlatsky - Helpful, great teacher.   (Back to Top)

Quintyne, Professor Dr.
  Dr. Smith, while we did not connect on a personal level, always helped me make the right decisions regarding my concentration. Dr. Kirchman and Dr. Quintyne offer the best teaching techniques, at least for my type of learning, and are always welcoming and friendly, which makes it easier to approach.  

  Dr. Quintyne allowed me to do research in his biology lab as a sophomore. This experience tissue culture setting up experiments helped me get a good summer research internship and get accepted into medical school.   (Back to Top)

Qunityne, Professor Nicholas
  Every professor at the Harriet L. Wilkes Honors College is a inspiration of excellence. Out of all the faculty and staff there I would like to mention Dr. Michelle Ivey, Dr. Eugene Smith, Dr. Nicholas Quintyne, Dr. Sheila Riordan, and Alana Edwards. All o f these individuals deserve special recognition for there outstanding commitment to their students, whether that commitment comes from advising, teaching, or simply listening. Over the past four years they have shaped the person I am today, and for that I thank them. With out them I would not have made it through the difficult coursework at the Harriet L. Wilkes Honors College.   (Back to Top)

Rabil, Professor
  My success was due, in part, to Professors Mangan, Rabil, and Morton. They all taught at exceptional levels and contributed to my learning greatly. Their lesson plans were concise, informative, and interesting every single class. All three truly enjoy teac hing and I'm glad that I was able to take their classes.  

  Dr. Kanner and Dr. Rabil, in my opinion are indispensable members of the Political Science department. They are extremely knowledgable, well organized, and structured. Along with Dr. Gurses, they both are so friendly and encourage students to both ask que stions and participate in class discussions as well...On the contrary, other proffesors in the department are very unorganized, almost completely computer illetarate, and allow the students to monopolize class discussions with their own views instead of st aying focused on the material at hand...Some professors get 'side tracked' so easily and begin to discuss things that are not even relevant to the subject matter.  

  Professor Robert Rabil offered excellent classes on the middle east which is espesially relevant in today's world. His enthusiasm and patience assisted greatly in covering an immense amount of material while still keeping it interesting and enjoyable, and his concern and interest in his students is something I will always be greatful for. Professor Kevin Wagner also offered excellent and informative classes which I feel I learned and benefited a great deal from, while enjoying it at the same time. His use of technology in the classroom kept students ingaged and informed on current events, and helped to show the material applied to real life situations. His encouragement and understanding made it very easy to participate in class discussion, as I am ver y grateful for taking classes with him. Professor Marshall Nadan's class helped to open my eyes to a larger world of politics in offering a greater understanding of political parties and interest groups. Professor Douglas Kanter was by far the best his  

  Dr. Sam Hawkins - through a combination of material and life experiences provided an important perspective of realism versus idealism as it applies to everyday life. Dr. James Lamare - through the use of theoretical application provided an invaluable educ ation in the importance of analysis skills. Dr. Robert Rabil - through sharing his contagious passion for education refined my ability to process thought and taught me to be more open minded. Dr. Arias - through her methodological teaching taught me the importance of organized thought. Dr. Maclachlan - through her positive reinforcement and constructive criticism propelled me to achieve my best.   (Back to Top)

Here are some of the special professors that I want to thank for all their time, effort, and hope spent on me; William R. McDaniel, Cecelia Kempler, Alvin Wander, Brenda E. Richey and Anna Agapova; these professors gave me a lot of the hard and difficult tasks, and they will last the longest in my memories of FAU.

  Professor Sameer Hinduja... He was my first professor at FAU. And as "they" say, first impressions are lasting impressions and he definitely made a great impression on me. He challenged me to think beyond what I already thought of the world and let go of " inside the box" type thinking. He gave me a new perspective on learning and life. He also cared about his students and what each and every one thought. He taught with passion and really understood his subject matter. FAU could not ask for or hire a finer professor. Because of him, I continued my education and went on to experience other great subject matters and professors such as Richter, Shepherd, Atkins, Lamar, McBride, Basuroy, Hawkins, and many more.

  There were a number of professors and staff members who aided me in my journey toward achieving my BA. First and foremost, Helena Szczesny was invaluable, helping me to receive more than one scholarship and always making herself available to answer any que stions I had. She is truly a valuable part of Florida Atlantic University's staff. Additionally, Professor Susan Carter, with whom I took ISM3011, was one of the most inspiring Professors I had the privilege of learning from.

  Dr. Chris Robe helped me think more critically than ever before and also gave me more of a desire to want to eventually teach within the Film Studies departments at the college level. He really cares about his students each individually and forces you to c are about your work as well. He's one of the best professors that FAU has.  

  I had a of professors that helped me along the way. But I think one of the most effective (not my favorite), but a good teacher is Dr. Chris Robe. He's a tough guy and he wont baby you, but because he is like that he makes you actually learn. And I really appreciate that.

Some of these professors include Dr. Blakemore, Professor McGuirk, Dr. Romeo, and Mrs. Cross.

We had the b est presentation that semester. Sunil Babbar- He's got it right, you need to be ethical in life and do your best. Most students hated the class, but they simply don't understand the implications of living an ethical life, on the rest of the world. I real ize I don't have a lot in common with most students.

She is an amazing, intellectual, articulate professor who challenges her students to think critically, think in abstr act ways, and use formal thought processing to understand the and apply the information in real life cases. Her research is complex and highly interesting and it was a great opportunity. She was the best professor I have ever taken in my B.A. program in ps ychology in FAU.   (Back to Top)

  Professors Rottig and Mullen were helpful in teaching me about international business, sensitivity to other cultures, research techniques, and helping me develop my presentation skills. Both were very knowledgeable and respectable teachers.

Salivar, Professor Dr.
  Dr. Salivar was by far the best teacher in the engineering department and I learned a lot from him. KC Coyle wa sthe biggest help for the engineering department and gave great advice for the future.  

  KC Coyle. She was extremely helpful with everything. She was very organized and always knew what was going on. She led me in the right direction and kept me focused. I never felt like I was being misguided by her. She's amazing! Dr. Salivar. He mad e his classes interesting and actually cared about the students. He came prepared to class and it always seemed like he was interested in teaching and wanted to be there. He teaching style was by far the best in the Engineering Department!  

  I would like to thank all my professors for helping me solve complex graduate level engineering problems. My profesors were always accesible and helpful even outside of the scheduled course time. They make sure that students learn as Dr Gaonkar says "There is no free lunch". I would like to thank Dr Gaonkar, Dr Tsai, Dr Salivar, Dr Ghenai, Dr Abtahi, Dr Goldwyn and Dr Cai for their patience and accessibility.   (Back to Top)

Sanchez, Professor Alejandro
  To pick just one faculty member and to say that they have been the best in helping me would be a disservice and unfair to all that have contributed to my education. In order to be brief and informative I would like to mention three staff members in particu lar that if I did not study with, my education would be severely lacking compared to where it stands currently. Dr. Stuart Glazer has been not only an amazing teacher but he has also been a great mentor and coach. In my four years of having him for private lessons I have to say that he has helped me grow not only with the technical aspects of music but also as an artist and composer. His ways of teaching bring out the artist inside rather than force an agenda and a curriculum on his students. Dr. Kyl e Prescott has taught me more about the subtleties of music than any other professor at the school. His musicality and talent is only surpassed by his knowledge and passion of the subject, which then ultimately becomes contagious unto all of his students.   (Back to Top)

On one occasion, Dr. McCue went so far as meeting me wi th little advance notice to provide me with suggestions and advice that later proved to be quite valuable. Both Dr. McCue and Dr. Santos are an asset to FAU.   (Back to Top)

Sanua, Professor Lawrence
  I had a few great teachers as well as a few bad ones. The history teachers (Lawrence, Sanua), psychology teacher (Lumpkin), logic teacher (Dobson), computer teacher (Binder) were the best. Some of the teacher in the education college were the worst.  

  I would like to thank Dr. Arlene Fradkin for being an incredible teacher. She was always available if I needed advice or help with the subject matter. I believe that she truly cares about students' and their well-being both academically and personally. I l oved her enthusiasm, she is awesome!

Sapat, Professor Dr.
  Dr. Sapat and Dr. Tarbet. First the Capstone class was and is one of the best class in my 7 years of going to FAU. She is very bright and gave great feedback. She wants to see her students succeed. Don't get me wrong it is a lot of work, but she made ev eryday interesting wish more professors were like her. As far as the Business Law classes Dr. Tarbet also wanted to see her students succeed, she would give real life examples and never read from a slide, she also is very bright. She made the class very i nteresting and was always available to help. All other professors should be required to watch these two exceptional professors, on how to teach.

Sashi, Professor
  Professor Sashi - As a new student at FAU, Professor Sashi's teachings challenged me to think critically and look beyond what was on the board or the books. Professor Babar - Thought me to be more conscious of my actions and know that every action has a c onsequence. He was so passionate about his teachings/beliefs that the passion was transmitted to his students.  

  1. Vidya Ragoo-Munghal - WBBA Advisor...great support system though the hard times at school, good listener, very proactive, responsive and genuinely caring person 2. Professor Rainford Knight - Finance...critical thinking and effectively showing how you can apply what you learn in the classroom to real life. 3. Professor CM Sashi - Marketing...stretched my thinking, challenged me to think outside the box...deep 4. Professor Allen Smith - Marketing..excited about teaching and very concerned that you were learning 5.

  Some professors like for example Dr. Sashi and Professor Basiratmand made interesting attend class. They gave personal and professional views that are not in the book and are much more tangible than be learning only from a book.  

  Vidya Raghoo-Mungal in the Weekend BBA was especially helpful, kind, and dilligent in helping our entire group through the lock-step Weekend Bachelors program. Dr. Sashi and Dr. Babbar were especially gifted instructors - the two best professors in my 2 y ears at FAU.  

  Dr. Sashi - Provided the most intuitive ways to go about marketing.   (Back to Top)

Scala, Professor Virginia
  Dr. Robert Hays, as a professor and a department head he has answered any questions I have had about classes and how to find my internship. Virginia Scala.

She has a totally different teaching style than I have ever experinced before, but it works. (Interpretation of Drama and Writing for Management).   (Back to Top)

Scarola, Professor Kim
  My advisor, Marsha Lynch was so helpful to me. Coming in as a returning student after years of being out of school, she helped me receive credit for previous course work. She also helped me to stay on track with my testing and classes. I appreciate all that she did! My EDG 3323 teacher, Jodi Leit was a fabulous teacher. She was enthusiastic and a real role model of efficiency for this difficult class. Kim Scarola who taught LAE 4353 had us very involved with the students. We did hands on assignments an d worked in small groups with one another. She was always involved with us. I feel that this was my first student teaching experience. It reconfirmed my love for teaching.   (Back to Top)

Scheurle, Professor Dr.
  A faculty member who has helped me succeed while attending FAU is Dr. Scheurle in the Biological Science Dept. Her involvement and class challenges influenced me to think critically and to push myself to do more than I was expected to. Her dedication to he lp the student achieve great knowledge on a particular subject makes a difference in how well the student will perform and complete the assigned task.   (Back to Top)

Schlossberg, Professor Dr.
  Tamsyn and Dr. Schlossberg were the two greatest influences for me here at FAU. They always encouraged me to do my best and would never let me give up. As for the college of engineering.

Schwartz, Professor
  I very much enjoyed Prof. Sherry Young's classes and her clear, concise method of teaching. Her ability to explain accounting principles and procedures made the class more enjoyable and ultimately more effective. I also greatly enjoyed the teaching of Pr of. Sunil Babbar. His enthusiasm and knowledge of operations management was superior. His attitude towards students and teaching was exceptional - unlike many teachers who approach their subjects like a secret to be guarded, Prof Babbar clearly wanted his students to leave with all he had to offer - which was a great deal. Prof. Schwartz who taught management was also a thoughtful, effective teacher who was interesting and fun to listen to and learn from. Real world experience is always thrilling in the cl assroom.  

  The best FAU Advisor is Kenna O'Leary she advise me on my classes, how many to take, schedule each semester so they match my work schedule. For faculty teachers Harry Schwartz and Barbara Conte were the best, very patient, know what they were doing,they want teach and their students to learn. Encourage students to think critically and are very clear in what they expect from each student.  

  Professor Harry Schwartz is a phenomenal professor who not only cares about his students but has taken an active interest in making sure they are successful in their personal and professional lives. My experience at FAU would not have been the same without him.  

  Paul Cohen and Harry Shwartz.  

  Harry Schwartz was BY FAR the most effective professor at FAU. We need more teachers like him.  

  Graeme Warren- He connects with his students and has a great ability to breakdown the materail so that his students can follow the material and ultimately increase our learning. Harvey Mendelson- His old school approach is most effective. No monkey busin ess, you are there to work and to learn. Much effort is needed to succeed in his class, but you are better off for it. Chris Colbert- He is a new teacher to FAU. He brings much field experience to the classroom, which is how students learn best. Theoreti cal with practical knowledge, this is a great recipe for success. Harry Schwartz- Details are not lacking in this class, Professor Schwartz gives a great model to follow, it is up to the students to take advantage of his guidance and clear direction. He too has many years in his field, this is a huge advantage to the students who take his class. Critical thinking is a must in his class. Nathan Heinnz- His class is interesting and well taught. I learned quite a bit about computers that I did know prior.

He keeps his promises and his word. If he doesn't know something, he admits i t and find the answer. This professor is TRULY outstanding. Even though he made his classes very straightforward, I made it my business to get there on time everyday. With his energy he made even the boring subject very interesting. I truly care and tha nk Professor Shackelford.  

  Carol Jansen, Todd Bernhardt, and Todd Shackelford.  

  First and foremost, Glenn Malone. Without his tutelage, guidance and laudatory efforts, none of this would have been tangible. He empowered me with the hope and optimism necessary to transform my lackluster GPA and Curriculum Vitae into graduate-level ma terial. Dr. David Bjorklund, for taking a chance on me and granting me entrance into his Honor's Seminar and lab. Dr. Todd K. Shackelford for expanding my mind, enriching my understanding of biological life and for furthering my epistemological endeavors. Dr. Cheri Surloff, for being so passionate and caring in her teaching approach.

He challenged me to think beyond what I already thought of the world and let go of " inside the box" type thinking. He gave me a new perspective on learning and life. He also cared about his students and what each and every one thought. He taught with passion and really understood his subject matter. FAU could not ask for or hire a finer professor. Because of him, I continued my education and went on to experience other great subject matters and professors such as Richter, Shepherd, Atkins, Lamar, McBride, Basuroy, Hawkins, and many more.   (Back to Top)

  Bryan Sigler because he taught me real world knowledge and the realities of the workplace environment  

  Professor Bryan Sigler. Even though some people think he is tough, he is not. He teaches in a way that you HAVE to study the textbook. That is a great way to remember what you've learned than to have another teacher give you what to study and you never eve n open the textbook and don't remember or learn anything in class. If you don't remember what you've learned, how are you going to implement that in your future endeavors??   (Back to Top)

  In particular, I found that Dr. Smith (Introduction to Advertising) was especially enthusiastic about the subject he taught and encouraged students to strive for their best. Furthermore, he put a great deal of effort into ensuring that his class was inter esting and enjoyable. Next, I feel that Professor Dinev (Quantitative Methods in Administration) took both her teaching position and the learning efforts of students very seriously. She provided the students with thorough lessons and set high expectations of us. She was also a great advocate of students taking responsiblity for their studying behavior. She made it very clear that if you put your full effort forth in her class and really applied yourself, that you would succeed. I followed her suggestion and exceeded far beyond my expectations in her class.  

  Dr. Smith, while we did not connect on a personal level, always helped me make the right decisions regarding my concentration. Dr. Kirchman and Dr. Quintyne offer the best teaching techniques, at least for my type of learning, and are always welcoming and friendly, which makes it easier to approach.  

  Edward P. Smith.  

  Every professor at the Harriet L. Wilkes Honors College is a inspiration of excellence. Out of all the faculty and staff there I would like to mention Dr. Michelle Ivey, Dr. Eugene Smith, Dr. Nicholas Quintyne, Dr. Sheila Riordan, and Alana Edwards. All o f these individuals deserve special recognition for there outstanding commitment to their students, whether that commitment comes from advising, teaching, or simply listening. Over the past four years they have shaped the person I am today, and for that I thank them. With out them I would not have made it through the difficult coursework at the Harriet L. Wilkes Honors College.  

  Professer Pat Smith has opened a up the world in a new understanding of it and how it works. This will affect the way I perceive things in it for the rest of my life.  

  Dr. Eric Prier encouraged me to learn more about the U.S. economy and the impact that it has on the political system. Dr. Mehmet Gurses taught me a substantial amount about the Middle East and the conflicts that have shaped it, influence it today, and wil l continue to occur for many generations. Dr. Patrick Smith was one of the best teachers I have ever had, he taught me more about U.S. foreign policy than any other instructor. He taught me about the history of the presidency, and how each and every one o f them overcame the obstacles they faced. Dr. Becky Mulvaney for teaching me so much about communications and human relations. Because of her I am more politically involved than I ever was.   (Back to Top)

Sobhan, Professor Dr.
  Dr. Sobhan in Civil Engineering is very helpful outside of class. During class he never used PowerPoint slides. All of his notes were hand-written, so he knew what he was talking about.

  Dr. Reddy really motivated me to think critically. Dr. Meeroff helped to push me as hard as possible. Dr. T and Digna Mejia always encouraged me. Dr. Bloetscher, Sobhan, Kaisar, Rocky, and Young were always knowledgable sources.  

  Dr. T offered outside of class help for other classes and design projects. Digna helped me get my schedule straight and courses sorted. Dr. Sobhan refernced my job/ internship.  

  Dr. Bloscher, Dr. Sobhan, and Dr. Teegavarapu.  

  I thought Dr. Yong and Dr. Sobhan were the two teachers that encouraged critical thinking the most among the teachers I had at the university.  

  Dr. Raddy, Dr. Raky, and Dr. Soban. They helped me with engineering questions and provided me with feedback.  

  Dr. Khaled Sobhan who is one of the best professors that I've ever had. He is extremely brilliant and knows how to push students so that they perform to their full potential. Dr. Fred Bloetscher is also an excellent professor, he combines both field exp erience and academic experience into a package that most professors lack. Engineering professors need a grasp on the real world to really teach a student to their full potential. Dr. Bloetscher is excellent in this aspect. He has definetly made a positive impact on me as a student.   (Back to Top)

  Amy Letter and Brian Spears gave me a new perspective on creative writing, and helped me enormously with editing my stories and poetry.   (Back to Top)

Spudeas, Professor
  I would have to say my two favorite professors were Professor Spudeas and Professor De La Torre. They both made learning interesting and fun, and I retained an enormous amount of knowledge from all the classes I was able to take with them.  

  Frank De La Torre, Christina Spudeas, and Sofia De Santos Esperito.   (Back to Top)

Stackman, Dr. Professor
  Dr. Peluso, Dr. Stackman, and Dr. Vallacher, they are articulate professionals, who actually care about the education of their students.  

  Professor Bill Curliss - he makes class interesting with his stories and it keeps the students motivated to do well in his Anatomy and Physiology classes Professor C. Surloff - she was interested in how much the students were learning, she made Pharmacolo gy interesting by explaining materials in detail Professor Bob Stackman - he made Biological Bases of Behavior easy to learn and was a humorous professor Professor Lasiter and Professor Barenholtz.  

  Dr. Peluso, Dr. Stackman, and Dr. Kersten were great human beings who truly dedicated their time to teaching and helping students. They are extremely knowledgeable in their fields and were fair.  

  Dr. Peluso was always amazing and I could tell she really did care about my concerns. I realize she has so many other students asking her a million questions, but she was just so great at getting back to me quickly via email and just always happy to help. She is one of the only ones in the psychology office who is like that!!! Please know that I got lucky and had a great advisor as well- Dr. Stackman, but many of my friends who were also psychology majors said they had horrible advisors to deal with. Dr. Peluso and Dr. Stackman were great at helping me with everything and made the graduating process very smooth. I also loved my Cognition class with Jason Grotuss, he is a PhD student. I met with him a few times and he helped me with the applying to gradu ate school process and gave me some good advice. He also wrote me a letter of recommendation which helped in my getting accepted to two graduate programs.   (Back to Top)

Steigenga, Professor Dr.
  Dr. Steigenga was a wonderful advisor, always challenging me and showing me that I was capable of working harder and better than I ever thought. He has helped me throughout my time at FAU and I owe him very much.   (Back to Top)

Steinwandt, Professor Rainer
  Rainer Steinwandt-Math Department. He single handedly rejuvenated my academic career with his passion and love for mathematics. The greatest teacher I have ever had and even more importantly a great human being. I owe so much to him. Thank you Professo r Steinwandt.   (Back to Top)

Stephens, Professor Wendy
  Dr. Ingrid Johanson helped me to get admission to the university when I was initially turned down. Wendy Stephens urged me to apply for the FEEDS scholarship that I was awarded in 2007, which in turn gave me 2 semesters of paid leave to take 12 credits of classes each semester. Dr. Warner A. Miller, my supervisor, allowed me to take classes that sometimes required me to be away from my job.   (Back to Top)

Stevens, Professor Michelle
  Tennille Shuster, Linda Johnson, Michelle Stevens.   (Back to Top)

Stover, Professor
  There were many that definitely helped me succeed, including Dr. Faraci, professor Stover, and Dr. Beoku Betts.  

  I preferred most of my English courses because they were smaller and easier to communicate with the professor. My Science classes were mainly 100-300 student group large and there was a major disconnect with the professors. The few classes I took at Davie campus were smaller and more personal, I wish I had taken more. The professors at Davie also seem like more hands- on teachers and are usually better able to explain things to you directly. Worst experience was with <%Ayyanathan%>- mol and cell biology. An d I was stupid enough to take the class twice and fail twice, I knew I wasn't a poor student. Because I retook the class and did well. I believe he was a poor teacher. Good teachers like Dr. Machado, Dr. Stover, forgot his name- he teaches Biodiversity- ma rine biologist, another at davie that teaches Biochemistry.  

  Dr. Johnnie Stover is, by far, the best professor in the English Department. I have taken multiple classes with her, and have never been disappointed. She is intelligent and engaging, and she really wants her students to do well. I have recommended her to all of my fellow students. I have done my best work in her classes, and learned to set a higher standard for myself.   (Back to Top)

Subrahmanian, Professor J.
  I would have to say that all my professor part an important part in my life to help me succeed while I attend FAU. Just to name a few Prof. P. Chin, Prof. F. Weinstein, Prof. T. Mangleburg, Prof. J. Cerveny, Prof. J. Subrahmanian, and many others.  

  Dr. Eric Chiang was always prepared for class and made it enjoyable and enouraged students to participate. Dr. Arthur Konoposke was always prepared, very knowledgable about the subject and his class allowed me to grow as a person. Dr. Emilio Zarruk was alw ays prepared and allowed students to think on their own. Very knowledgable about subject and explained well. Dr. Desislava and Georgieva Budeva were always prepared and I loved that she incorporated her international background and experiences into the cla ssroom. Dr. Jay Subrahmanian and Dr. Jules Pierre were very knowledgable about subjects and always willing to help students succeed.   (Back to Top)

Sugent, Professor Linda
  Professor Leslie Calhoun was wonderful. Professor Linda Sugnet was great.   (Back to Top)

Sugnet, Professor
  Calhoun, Brewer, Sugnet, Hayden: These are the best instructors on campus. Every other instructor should be held to the standards and performance that these professors set forth.  

  Professor Sugnet was extremly helpful and caring.  

  Professor Sugnet is very professional.  

  Nearly all of the professors and instructors in the College of Education were especially helpful. Ms. Leslie Calhoun and Dr. Sharon Smisek were extremely knowledgeable and helpful by providing real world examples and practicum experiences throughout the re ading coursework. Ms. Linda Sugnet was especially helpful in guiding our success throughout the effective teaching practices coursework. Ms. Sugnet set the bar high but guided her students throughout the coursework with personal experiences, strategies an d methods that not only assisted with success in class and in the field!  

  Mrs. Sugnet was real GOOD! She would not take anything less than what I was able to give. She is an AWESOME teacher!  

  I would have to say Linda Sugnet. She really helped me get through the Education Program. She wasn't just there to help us in her class, but she was there to make sure we get all the way to the end, even if we were already done in her class. She didn't just want us to pass she wanted us to get an A. She has been such a profound reason in why I worked so hard to get to this point and actually graduating. Linda not only taught but she guided us. She used her own personal experience and brought that into the classroom when helping us. She will always hold a special place in my heart as someone who was there cheering me on in not only completing my degree but wanting me to be the best teacher I can be!  

  Professor Linda Sugnet. She took her role as professor very personal. I felt at times that I was her only student because there were no limits to the support she would provide toward my success. I still communicate with her today and feel very comfortab le in calling in her expertise, asking for a reference or anything at all to help my success as a teacher. She is one of a kind. She is a wealth of knowledge and disseminates information to her students in a positive, creative and effective manner.  

  Jennifer Bird, Gail Russell, and Linda Sugnet. I would not be the person I am today without them.  

  Professor Linda Sugnet: Without her help in ETP II there would not be the high quality of Elementary Education students ready to teach and she was the main reason I believe I made the AIT list, Professor Leslie Calhoun who taught me any adversity can be ch anged to a positive in your life, Professor Denise Hayden who exemplifies the type of educator that goes way beyond the call of duty to reall get to know her students and be there to help them whenever it is needed with sharing of her own vast resources an d talents.  

  Mrs. Linda Sugnet is the top professor at FAU in my opinion. Her content area was more applicable then any other education class I took during my time at FAU. I know I am definitely qualified for the classroom after having Mrs. Sugnet in ETP I and II for two semesters. She is a tough task master but she does it with support and care.  

  That person would be Linda Sugnet. By the grace of God or just dumb luck, we are from the same little town in up-state New York. That is where the similarities end, she treated every person in her class exactly the same. Ms. Sugnet is probably the most inf luential person that I encountered during my time at FAU. She teaches you how to teach everyday you are in the class. She is nothing short of amazing and definitely a great inspiration to me. The day that she departs FAU will be a sad day for education.  

  Professor Sugnet and Professor Calhoun were the two faculty members of FAU that really helped me to succeed and be where I am today--a fifth grade teacher at Village Green Elementary.  

  Prof. Sugnet help me succeed by beleiveing in me and pushing me to do my best.  

  Lesile Calhoun, Linda Sugnet, Denise Hayden, Dr. Furner, and Tina McSoley.  

  Jennifer Byrd- Being a positive supporter of my needs and my success. Linda Sugnet- Pushing me to my fullest potential  

  Linda Sugnet! Ms. Sugnet always brought ideas from her classroom to make the text in the textbooks personal. It is easy to read ideas in a textbook but making them your own is hard, but Ms. Sugnet showed how to use them and that made the ideas internal for me. She would have our class participate in the different activities in order for us to see how they work. Ms. Sugnet always pushed us to do our best and provided us with feedback that made sense. She didn't write things on a paper to waste ink, she wrote to make us better educators! Everything I did in her classes I took to my classroom and made me a better teacher to my students!  

  I know that there are several faculty members that helped me succeed while I was a student at FAU. The one that I would say helped me the most, both professionally and personally, was Professor Linda Sugnet. She is an amazing educator and a wonderful hum an being. She was understanding and nonjudgmental when I was experiencing some challenging personal family issues. She was also so well informed and prepared when it came to the class in which I was fortunate enough to be one of her many students. I fee l so privileged to have had her as an instructor.  

  Professor Linda Sugnet was an exemplary role model, instructor, and someone whom I consider to be the pinacle of the education program at FAU. She challenges her students to achieve and is an asset not only to students at this university but to students in classrooms everywhere whose teachers have had the opportunity and privelege to have been a student of hers. Professor Leslie Calhoun is a compassionate, knowledgeable, and dynamic instructor who is current in her field and continues to bring fresh ideas to her students. Her techniques and delivery for teaching teachers to build strong readers in our communities are unsurpassed.  

  Linda Sugnet- caring and very resourceful.  

  Mrs. Sugnet. She solidified my reasons for becoming a teacher, forced (though I was ocassinally unwilling) me to work beyond what I believed my capabilities were which allowed me to see what I can accomplish when put to the test, and gave the most real wor ld view of what teaching is really all about. The vast majority of professors in the education department are phenomenal, but she stands alone at the top.  

  Professor Linda Sugnet  

  Mrs.Linda Sugnet for my Effective Teaching II and Mr.Gollery for my Special education. They both inspired me to become a great and a special teacher by preparing me with the knowledge and the love for kids and education.  

  Linda Sugnet, the ETP teacher on the Treasure Coast campus  

  Ms. Linda Sugnet especially helped me succeed at FAU. She pushed me to do my best at every assignment, which was challenging but rewarding. She helped me develop my portfolio, which was so helpful- I wouldn't have done it without her. Lastly, she helped me learn how to "effectively" teach.... through games, simulations, and other lessons in class, I learned how to make my classroom hands-on, fun, and exciting along with being able to manage a classroom with rules, classroom meetings, and appropriate behavio r management techniques. I will never forget how helpful Ms. Sugnet was!  

  Dr. Bird, Professor Gail Russell, Professor Flaks, and above all Professor Linda Sugnet. These were the most amazing teachers I have ever had the privilege of having!  

  Professor L. Sugnet- She truly is an inspiration. She has a gift to encourage everyone to strive to be their best and whose knowledge of education is phenomenal.  

  I owe much of my academic success and knowledge to Mrs. Sugnet, for she provided me with encouragement, strategies, suggestions, and proclaimed that I can achieve more than I believed.  

  Linda Sugnet- she was the most effective professor that I had at FAU, she was the one who prepared me for teaching. Professor Calhoun- she made reading more interesting for me and helped me to create effective reading lessons.  

  Professor Linda Sugnet was a wonderful instructor. She is a passionate educator and is a great role model for those preprofessionals coming through the education program. She took education very seriously as it should be taken and helped me to remember why I wanted to become a teacher.  

  Professor Linda Sugnet - provided constant encouragement. She always made her class informative with real world applications. Dr. Jennifer Bird - provided constant encouragement and made class fun and interesting to come to. I never thought of skipping he r class even though it was a 100 mile round trip.  

  My answer choices are specifically directed to the Port St. Lucie Campus. The faculty and staff at that campus are a caring and effective team. I can say that all the staff members at that campus helped me succeed; however, in particulare Professor Sugne t has left an everlasting impression upon me as a future teacher. She is an inspiring Professor. Also, Mr. Greg Gilbert was a great help throughout my courses. He effectively guided me in the right direction and was always willing to help when needed.  

  The teacher that stood out most was Ms. Linda Sugnet. She was thorough, helpful and very understanding.  

  There were two, Ms. Sugnet and Ms. Calhoun. Both were always willing to discuss any concerns I had about assignments, making sure I was on track and assisting me if I wasn't. They also encouraged me when I felt I was in over my head.   (Back to Top)

  First and foremost, Glenn Malone. Without his tutelage, guidance and laudatory efforts, none of this would have been tangible. He empowered me with the hope and optimism necessary to transform my lackluster GPA and Curriculum Vitae into graduate-level ma terial. Dr. David Bjorklund, for taking a chance on me and granting me entrance into his Honor's Seminar and lab. Dr. Todd K. Shackelford for expanding my mind, enriching my understanding of biological life and for furthering my epistemological endeavors. Dr. Cheri Surloff, for being so passionate and caring in her teaching approach.   (Back to Top)

Szczesny, Professor Helena
  There were a number of professors and staff members who aided me in my journey toward achieving my BA. First and foremost, Helena Szczesny was invaluable, helping me to receive more than one scholarship and always making herself available to answer any que stions I had. She is truly a valuable part of Florida Atlantic University's staff. Additionally, Professor Susan Carter, with whom I took ISM3011, was one of the most inspiring Professors I had the privilege of learning from. Both Carl Riegel and Melissa D allas, no longer at FAU, were also an integral part of my journey, especially in regard to academic advisement.   (Back to Top)

Tarbet, Professor
  Professor Ellison really got me interested in law when I took her Business Law class and professor Tarbet further enhanced my interest in Advanced Legal Study. I have decided to attend Law School because of these professors.  

  Dr. Sapat and Dr. Tarbet. First the Capstone class was and is one of the best class in my 7 years of going to FAU. She is very bright and gave great feedback. She wants to see her students succeed. Don't get me wrong it is a lot of work, but she made ev eryday interesting wish more professors were like her. As far as the Business Law classes Dr. Tarbet also wanted to see her students succeed, she would give real life examples and never read from a slide, she also is very bright. She made the class very i nteresting and was always available to help. All other professors should be required to watch these two exceptional professors, on how to teach. Thank you Dr. Sapat and Dr. Tarbet.   (Back to Top)

Taylor, Advisor Vada
  I have had a horrible time trying to find an advisor at FAU that could advise me in the right direction. Reuben Ferguson was one of the only ones that I found who was truly helpful. He is a great advisor. As for <%Vada Taylor%>, she should not be in a posi tion to advise students. I took classes that did not count towards any part of my major because she advised me to do so. I am not the only student she has done this too. Half of the students in my major that I am graduating with this fall, have had the sam e problem with <%Mrs. Taylor%>. She SHOULD NOT be an advisor, because clearly she does not have the knowledge on how to do her job properly.  

  Derek Taylor provided assistance and hands on experience and he is not here anymore.

  Dr. Ramesh Teegavarapu puts more work into his students than any teacher/ professor I've ever had. He cares whether students learn and takes time out of his schedule to help you. Also, Dr. Yorkham Sagher was great.  

  Dr. Ramesh Teegavarapu - Anytime and everytime I ever needed extra tutoring or assistance in assignments, he was there for me. Days prior to exams, he would sit with me for hours making sure I was ready to pass. Dr. Steven Kizlik - Demonstrated that I had what it took to become a successful engineer. He became a good friend to me by listening and mentoring me when I was against all odss. Funny guy, very helpful, and extremely caring towards his students. Dr. John Jurewicz - Encouraged me to never give up and to continue doing what's right. He demonstrated a great deal of care and understanding towards his students.

Ms. Thomas was always thorough, honest, extremely helpful, and apparently genui nely concerned with my education, what was best for me, and my understanding of policies, requirements, and other issues that have come up in the course of my education at FAU. Ms. Thomas has without a doubt, been THE MOST beneficial source of advising for me at FAU and she has not only been an extraordinary asset for me personally, but, I'm positive that she's done the same for other students. I have referred friends and family to the College of Arts and Letters mainly because of the positive experience I' ve had with Ms. Thomas.   (Back to Top)

Tracy, Professor Dr.
  Dr. Tracy,he was a very tough professor that demanded and expected a lot however he made you really think and do a lot of learning and comprehension on your own. I retained a lot of knowledge from him that I would not have normally in most of my classes  

  Dr. James Tracy (professor)- Opened up a whole new sense and view on our world in America and internationally. Through the documentaries he has shown and his readings/our responses in class I have gained and retained more knowledge about media and politic s. Dr. Darlington (professor)- her intellectual way of teaching and letting our analytical talks take over to inform us and has helped me retain and learn so much from her.  

  Dr. James Tracy, Dr. Gerald Sim, Dr. Alessandra Senzani, and Dr. Chris Scodari were the most challenging and informative of my professors in the Communications department. In particular, Dr. Tracy's weekly writing assignments were effective in ensuring th at I read and understood the assigned material, which prepared me for the challenging midterm and final essays.   (Back to Top)

Dr. Trammell...I had to take a Russian Profecieny Test to pass the foriegn language requirement to graduate. He assured me if I studied hard, I would pass.

It was always clear that he has a true love and passion for the work, which often was picked up by the students in his class. Additionally, his ability to remain unbiased in class discussions and advocate the opposing view points in order to challenge our own was ultima tely flawless and would put many judges to shame. He is the epitome of a great educator.  

  Dr. Tunick really helped me improve my writing. I do not know that I would write as well as I do now had I not had so many classes with him.   (Back to Top)

Turgeon, Professor Edward
  Dr. Edward Turgeon and Dr. Anne Louis-Turgeon both greatly contributed to my success in college. The way they communicated musical ideas and history gave me a better understanding of my field. In one of my lessons, Anne told me to focus my time on becoming an artist not just a musician. That statement transformed the way I viewed my education in the area of music. My senior year was the most difficult year for me since my father passed away due to colon cancer. The Turgeons were there to help me through t his difficult time. They were flexibile with my schedule while I visited my father in the hospital. They gave me make-up lessons when necessary. They invested time into my family, inviting us over for dinner. They are not only professors to me; they have b ecome life long friends, inspiring me to invest in my own future students in this way.

Dr. Jaap Vos for being a great advisor and helping me understand what classes to take and when to take them. As well, Dr. Vos informed me of graduate scholarships and programs and about waterway cleanups, Wednesday lectures, etc which helped me to become involved and enroll in the departmental programs.

Wagner, Professor Kevin
  Professor Robert Rabil offered excellent classes on the middle east which is espesially relevant in today's world. His enthusiasm and patience assisted greatly in covering an immense amount of material while still keeping it interesting and enjoyable, and his concern and interest in his students is something I will always be greatful for. Professor Kevin Wagner also offered excellent and informative classes which I feel I learned and benefited a great deal from, while enjoying it at the same time. His use of technology in the classroom kept students ingaged and informed on current events, and helped to show the material applied to real life situations. His encouragement and understanding made it very easy to participate in class discussion, as I am ver y grateful for taking classes with him. Professor Marshall Nadan's class helped to open my eyes to a larger world of politics in offering a greater understanding of political parties and interest groups. Professor Douglas Kanter was by far the best his   (Back to Top)

Wander, Professor Alvin
  I would like to thank all the faculty members who have spent their time and effort on trying to endow some of their knowledge on me. Especially those who gave me assignments and lessons with the hardest challenges. Everytime when I encountered a difficult task, I feel that I was being pushed a bit further in my abilities. Here are some of the special professors that I want to thank for all their time, effort, and hope spent on me; William R. McDaniel, Cecelia Kempler, Alvin Wander, Brenda E. Richey and Anna Agapova; these professors gave me a lot of the hard and difficult tasks, and they will last the longest in my memories of FAU. Many other faculty members have helped my realize my potential to do great things in life, and this makes me want to give back t o others.   (Back to Top)

Warde, Professor Beverly
  There is one professor at FAU that had a huge influence on my success at FAU, Dr. Beverly Warde. She is an amazing teacher and role model in the ESE department. Without Dr. Warde I wouldn't know half of the things about teaching I know now. I had Dr. Warde for three different classes. Dr. Warde is a difficult teacher but she is just wonderful at what she does. I am going to miss her and will always remember her.  

  All the ESE faculty: Dr. Warde, Dr. Goldstein, and Dr. Dukes. These professors went above and beyond with each and every student. Thank you!   (Back to Top)

Warren, Professor Graeme
  Graeme Warren- He connects with his students and has a great ability to breakdown the materail so that his students can follow the material and ultimately increase our learning. Harvey Mendelson- His old school approach is most effective. No monkey busin ess, you are there to work and to learn. Much effort is needed to succeed in his class, but you are better off for it. Chris Colbert- He is a new teacher to FAU. He brings much field experience to the classroom, which is how students learn best. Theoreti cal with practical knowledge, this is a great recipe for success. Harry Schwartz- Details are not lacking in this class, Professor Schwartz gives a great model to follow, it is up to the students to take advantage of his guidance and clear direction. He too has many years in his field, this is a huge advantage to the students who take his class. Critical thinking is a must in his class. Nathan Heinnz- His class is interesting and well taught. I learned quite a bit about computers that I did know prior.  

  Dr. Scott, the professor of economics was a fantastic educator. Barbara Conte is also a great teacher. Graeme Warren is a good teacher. Sue Dahmus is also a very good instructor.  

  Graeme Warren- He puts in so much of his own time and is always willing to help students. He actually cares about his students and wants them to do well and learn.  

  Dr. Graeme Warren. I was going through tough personal situations, and he understood and allowed me a second chance at taking his course (which was required for my major). Thanks to that, I'm graduating this semester.  

  Gram Warren. He is very dedicated to making sure that students underdstand math concepts and is willing to help.   (Back to Top)

Waters, Advisor Joe
  Joe Waters was great at advising me.  

  Joe Waters has been phenomenal. He's always accessible and willing to help. Anita Abraham and Jodi Leit were both wonderful professors who made learning fun and cared about students progress and concerns. Traci Catto has always been very instrumental and u nderstanding getting me situated with my placement.  

  MR. JOE WATERS-he was always available, prompt in resoponding to my emails, and always made time. He explored all options and never gave up on me. He is a great resource to have at FAU, and everyone should be so lucky to have had worked with him.  

  Joe Waters was always there to offer assistance whenever I needed it. Traci Baxley and Ellen Heckler were also paramount to my success at the FAU College of Education!  

  Joe Waters was fantastically helpful in getting me acclimated to FAU. He was the person I continued to go to when I needed help with something. He should get a very big raise.  

  Dr. Tracie Baxley was the most phenomenal professor I had in the tenure of my college experience. She was supportive and understanding and really concerned with the success of her students. She made it clear that she was attending this Fall's Graduation Ceremony for the first time since began teaching at FAU. That means a lot to me, personally, and I think she deserves recognition. Joe Waters was the other person at FAU who deserves recognition for helping, not only me, but many of my fellow Education major friends. He always gave us the information straight, instead of sugar coating things, or was compassionate enough when giving us the hard facts, rather than being insensitive about things.  

  Joe Waters was someone who I came to and was able to almost always answer all of my questions and point me in the right direction!  

  Joe Waters!!! He is so sweet and extremely helpful. I feel comfortable talking to him about anything and he is always willing to take the time to talk and help. He has given me wonderful advice and goes above and beyond to help! Thank you!!!  

  Advisor Joe Waters was exceptionally great in providing much needed information he was always there when you had questions. He was always positive and uplifting. Dr. Smiley (ESE) was an aswesome instructor. She pulled out the best and provided great mat erials and lessons for us to learn by. Instructor Goldstein (ESE) was a fantastic instructor and supervisor. He gave me great support and feedback when I was doing my Fall Practicum. He also was a good instructor.  

  Traci Baxley is a superb professor- she was able to inspire me to be a better teacher, and be aware of my global responsibilites. Joe Waters was my gardian angel while at FAU!! He advised me, calmed my fears and helped me to achieve my goal of graduati ng when it seemed impossible!!! He is priceless!!!  

  I would like to acknowledge Mr. Joe Waters as being a great advisor and someone who could answer questions and knoe what he was talking about. I would like to acknowledge Dr. Heiser for believing in me.  

  Joe Waters and Dr. Tracy Baxley were my two advisors throughout my program and help me a great deal in preparing for the next semester, planning ahead, and the process for the Teacher certification exams required.  

  Professor Viola gave me the confidence to stay in class and finish Linear Algebra II. Conceptually, this was a difficult course, but Mr. Viola set up times to work with the students, including myself, to review the materials. I would not have graduated t his semester had I dropped the course. Mr. Klingler was one of the most 'real' teachers @ FAU. Not a push over, but sensitive enough to be willing to reteach some material if necessary. He made a very difficult class doable! Joe Waters should be to p dog in the Education Department! He is one of the most professional, nice, and timely administrators @ FAU.  

  Dr. Towell/ Great Reading Course Joe Waters/Advising  

  Mr. Joe Waters was very informed, helpful and caring. He took the time to ensure that all my needs were met.  

  Joe Waters was the best advisor and staff member in FAU. He is the only reason that I was able to complete my degree in a timely manner.  

  Joseph Waters, an advisor in the College of Education at the Boca Raton campus. He was extremely helpful to me whan I transferred to FAU after an absence from college, and again helped me to remain on track when I took more time off after the birth of my s on.  

  Joseph Waters went out of his way constantly to not only advise me, but to motivate and cheer me on! I am certainly grateful and in debt to him, not only as a wonderful mentor, true confidant and most importantly an extraordinary friend. I wish more facult y would follow his ways to handle any situation. I am so grateful that our paths have crossed and I am now becoming a college graduate- truly a dream come true.  

  Yes, Mr. Joe Waters was extremely instrumental in guiding me and advising me. He helped me often with certain challenges that hindered my path in education. He always spoke to me with carung words and found ways that my certain situations could be solved.  

  Dr. Waters was great, he encouraged me that I could make it, even when it seemed like I was so far behind. With his enocuragement I have made it this far.  

  Two professors in particular were of most help to my positive academic experience at FAU. Dr. Boba and Mr. Waters. They were both very familiar with the criminal justice system and applied their knowlege to classroom teachings. I have taken numerous course s with these two professors and have preferred them over others. While academia is important, so are extracurricular activities. Jason Davies has helped in numerous ways regarding Student Government and other varios roles. He is an asset to FAU.  

  Joe Waters was an exceptional advisor! He was always there to answer any questions and concerns that I had. He was very knowledgable in his field and always gave the correct information! I always sent fellow students to him when they were confused.  

  Dr. Traci Baxley, Ellen Heckler, and Joe Waters all went above and beyond their roles to ensure that I succeeded and excelled in the Education program!  

  Mr. Joe Waters was always very professional and always willing to help. He was vet clear & always did what he could to help. He never gave wrong information. I always admired his professionalism and the ability to welcome his students at the times.  

  Dr. Rachel Boba and Dr. Robert Waters, both criminal justice professors, greatly motivated me and equipped me with invaluable knowledge that will prepare me for the next step - graduate school.   (Back to Top)

  Both professor Jansen and Widener have been excellent teachers. They spend extra time working with you if needed.

Williams, Dr. Ronald
  Dr. Ronald Williams, Ms. Rebecca Green, and Ms. Janet Miranda.  

  1.) Becky Mulvaney- I took her practicum in debate class. This is THE class that taught me how to write, think critically, back up my position on something, and overall articulate myself in an informed manner. 2.) Dr.Marin- She taught me how to be comforta ble with myself and as a woman. I took her gender class which opened my eyes to the detailed scaffolding of personal relationships. 3.) Dr.Kanata- Gave the class the advice to "listen twice as much as you talk". She taught us that miscommunications lie in stereotypes and the fear of the unfamiliar. She encouraged us to make the unfamiliar...familiar. 4.) Dr. David Williams- He opened my eyes to the world of Rhetoric and speech writing. I have a deep understanding of how language and words work and the powe r if it through manipulation.  

  David C. Williams is an amazing professor in that he cares about his students, does not give up on them, encourages them to be the best they can be, inspires you to do more with your academic career and never stop learning.  

  Dr. Williams, Dr. Mulvaney, and Dr. Marin of the communications department gave me a deep appreciation for the study. I learned more in their classes than all my other classes combined. They inspired me to work hard in their classes.  

  Dr. Keller, Dr. Williams both professors were very encouraging and helpful towards helping me achieve my goals.  

  Two professors offered challenging curriculum and applied concepts to "real life". Both are excellent instructors. They are Janice Cerveny, PhD. and Glenn Williams, PhD. One professor made learning enjoyable by connecting text readings with online discu ssions, interesting in-class discussions, and an informative guest presenter. This instructor was Paul Guglielmino, PhD.   (Back to Top)

  I found Professors Branaman, Wilson, and Carreno-Lakusik in the Sociology department to be especially paramount to my success. They each were helpful in and outside of class in terms of academic advising and in helping me learn to think critically about so ciety, and they are each also excellent teachers. They care about the efforts and progress of their students and about making their subjects both interesting and applicable to life in general.  

  Charles Wilson  

  Professor Leit was extremely motivating and served asa wonderful example on what a good teacher should be. Dr. Wilson in the ESE department was a also a positive role model. She was always available to assist and such a very positive person. Being in her c lass motivated me to look into getting my master's degree.  

  Professor Thomas Wilson, I took his class 4 times! He was interesting and very upfront, he was honest about what to learn. He included the class with all discussions and made learning fun and we were able to let our opinions and thoughts count, when some other teachers don't really listen, they ask a question and move on. Professor Wilson listened, and let us talk until we understood what he was getting at.  

  I would like to thank Dr. Arlene Fradkin for being an incredible teacher. She was always available if I needed advice or help with the subject matter. I believe that she truly cares about students' and their well-being both academically and personally. I l oved her enthusiasm, she is awesome! Also, I would like to acknowledge Dr. Josephine Beoku-Betts, Dr. Anna Lawrence, Dr. Marianne Sanua, and Dr. Thomas Wilson for being so helpful and making the learning experience fun!   (Back to Top)

Wright, Professor Wesley
  Wesley Wright helped me to think critically. He made learning fun again. He motivated students to accept the realities of life but to see them for what they are; just one interpretation. While his classes are fun, his exams are hard. I have never learned m ore in one class. Dr. Durnell-Uwechue is by far the best communicator on campus! Dr. Levine is such a no non-sense Professor. He is a WELL OF KNOWLEDGE that always delivers relevant content. I will miss him the most.  

  Wesley B. Wright--showed me how linguistics is applied in the real world and what sort of opportunities exist for Linguistics majors. Sam H.

As part of the Semester by the Sea program at Harbor Branch, I found my focus. All of the staff at HBOI have a genuine interest in their fields of study and are so warm and encouraging when students wish to join in that community of learning. Dr. James Nichols is the advisor for the Pre-V eterinary club that I founded this year at FAU and his support of ALL of our members' efforts to gain experience and learn have been extremely helpful in re-building leadership and self-confidence. Last but not least, Dr. Jeannete Wyneken has been such a wonderful mentor. Her advising has helped me to improve academically as well as personally. She is always willing to help and to push me to learn more each and every day. I couldn't ask for a better mentor for the Master's program at FAU and I look forw

  Susan Dobson was a huge help in getting me into classes I needed and giving me information. She was always prepared for a scheduled meeting and very willing to help if I called or e-mailed. Dr. George Young is a great professor. I appreciated the time h e spent preparing for the class with useful notes, links, and current information. He was very approachable and always willing to hear students concerns and give carreer or school advice.  

  Michael Tillet (2008-2009), George Young (2008), and Barry Axe (2006) The professors above made me feel that I can do my best and accomplish all my goals through hard work and dedication. They showed passion with what they were teaching which motivates m e to attend class everyday to learn more from them. I also looked forward in taking their exams so I could test my knowledge in all that I have learnt.

Many thanks to all of my other professors who withstood many tortures by a slow learner like me. I won’t make it without any of you great professors.  

  Karen Taurbet encouraged me to pursue the CPA. Sherry Young helped me through my accounting degree like an advisor.  

  Sherry Young, my accounting professor, provided various accomodations for me to make up tests.  

  Professor Sherry Young both advised me academically and professionally, as well as brought her working experience into the classroom.  

  The best professor I had a FAU was Sherry Young.  

  Dr. Kathryn Means and Prof. Sherry Young, were very helpful and supportive throughout my time at FAU. They are truly passionate about the profession and challange students to do better. They were of great help to me and I will always remember them for th ese reasons.  

  I very much enjoyed Prof. Sherry Young's classes and her clear, concise method of teaching. Her ability to explain accounting principles and procedures made the class more enjoyable and ultimately more effective. I also greatly enjoyed the teaching of Pr of. Sunil Babbar. His enthusiasm and knowledge of operations management was superior. His attitude towards students and teaching was exceptional - unlike many teachers who approach their subjects like a secret to be guarded, Prof Babbar clearly wanted his students to leave with all he had to offer - which was a great deal. Prof. Schwartz who taught management was also a thoughtful, effective teacher who was interesting and fun to listen to and learn from. Real world experience is always thrilling in the cl assroom.  

  I would like to say Sherry Young accounting teacher for Davie campus helped a lot in understanding clearly all the accounting methods I learned in Intermediate I and II.  

  Yes, Sherry Young-she has a great ability of explaining so you can understand. She also, takes the time to advise on where to go with employment.  

  Professor Sherry Young was my first professor when I started FAU in Fall 2005 (Theory I) and I took her again for Theory II. She is a great encouragement to students. As a night school student, she encouraged the students to persevere and not give up. Sh e understood what it meant to work and attend school while being a parent; and, as a parent, full-time employee, and student, it meant a lot to me. Professor Sherry Young wants to ensure that her students learn and not just pass her exams. I have watched her stayed back after class to help students understand the material and that says a lot about her. Keep up the good work, Professor Young.

Learning involves experience and compassion as well. She helped me realize that grades aren't everything, but once you realize that, it becomes less stressful to make those A's.
