Best professor you've ever had and why

I’ll offer up two. In college my Calculus prof was fantastic. You could tell how much he loved the subject matter. It was like listening to a poet read poetry. I learned later he won a Fields Medal. In law school my Property prof was the best. He taught in the classic, socratic style, calling on us hapless students, but wasn’t terribly harsh. He was funny, insightful, made us think. He had a heavy southern accent so we had to pay attention. I remember one time he was talking about liens and none of us, not even the southern kids, could figure out what he was saying. Finally someone said “oh LIENS” and we all laughed, including him.
