A great teacher...do you have one?

Post Reply New Topic

This year I have been lucky. All of my teachers talk to me and care about me and know that I am actually in class. A couple in particular are really great. One of them has stayed after school and worked with me to pull me ahead of the class (I was bored) and she talks to me in the halls. Another talks to me after class and always keeps an eye on me. And a third always asks how my day is and smiles when I answer and return the question (that one took time). So, do you have any really great teachers?

I have some okay ones right now, but I'm going to have some really nice ones next semester!

I like all my professors this semester.

There were a few I liked, most were Ok, you always have the occasional teacher you just wouldn't like to ever see again and some just won't ever get off my back even though I'm not in college anymore.

But that's life, or so it seems.

Indeed, one of my Professors has been helping me out massively since I graduated in June 2007, while I've been unemployed the whole time. Half of the in-person interviews I've obtained are because of him, and now, since I'm still without a job, he's giving me a job working on his Polymer Engineering projects to get work experience.

It's strange because I can't get on with my peers and can get on with nearly all my teachers even though I still talk awkwardly.

I must admit some of my teachers in Year 11 have been great in certain ways. Computer science teacher is a little weird and boring at times but I learn everything he says so its all good. Sports teacher I hardly ever met, English teacher was a bit understanding but I didn't really learn much from her. Human Biology teacher was hilarious but I didn't retain anything he taught me. Introductory Calculus teacher was strict (and has a reputation for being mean) but I quite enjoyed being in her class. She taught well, helped me with my maths problems without calling me an idiot and was understanding all round. My media teacher is an awesome person (although he did move me around the class at times for talking loudly). My physics teacher sucked. He practically taught me crap all, made me feel stupid and made my life miserable. So in the end I had some great teachers in year 11, but I'm anxious about year 12 and the new teachers I'm getting.

My TV Production teacher is probably the best teacher i ever had. She is a real funny person, and gets along with pretty much all of the students in the whole school. Its great that you have a teacher thats great at teaching something you might want to consider for a career. In my school we have four different TV classes. In the first class you do the news for the next day. We do announcements about sporting events, news & upcoming school events, and alot of times we do funny skits about things that go on in school. In the second class, we do home made music videos, short interviews and documentaries, and we learn the basics of editing. I don't know what we do in the TV 3 & 4 classes yet, i'll have to ask the teacher when scheduling for next year comes around. If you have a teacher thats great at what they are teaching, and its something that you are interested in, take the class. On the other hand, if the teacher sucks, dont take the class!

This last semester I had an excellent astronomy professor and an amazing botany professor. Next semester I get to have my astronomy professor in my physics lab, I'm looking forward to it and I plan to take more upper level botany classes next year with the same professor.

Since I am presently a student at North Central Universit(formerly North Central Bible College) in Minneapolis, MN, and we're talking about "favorite teachers," I would like to salute, honor and give a big HUGE shout out to my Systematic Theology Professor, Dr. Richard J.M. Shaka. Not only was Dr. Shaka my Systematic Theology Professor this last, recently completed Fall Semester, but he also became both a trusted friend of mine, as well as my Mentor. Kudos to you, Dr. Shaka!

Shoutout to Mr. Najberg at UT Chattanooga

I have two more classes with that dude next semester.

Aside from my second kindergarden, first grade and gym teacher, my teachers were all from Hell. I will dance at these people's funerals.
