<p>Ed Murphy - astronomy - affiliated with the ed school and is a great lecturer and fair grader (but you still need to study for tests)
Karen Parshall - math/history - she actually doesn’t get the best ratings because many of her classes are compulsory for math ed people, and she isn’t teaching any classes for the next four years, but she has a core of followers who have taken 2-3 classes with her (I took 3, and she is my advisor). She works you hard but you learn an incredible amount.
Curby Alexander - he just finished his PhD so he’s actually leaving to teach elsewhere, but he used to teach the ed school technology requirement class, easiest A ever. Very nice guy with cute twins, there should also be some youtube videos of him singing silly songs.
Stephen Plaskon - another ed school professor, typical southern professor with a bow tie, soooo nice.
Greg Arone - math - again he will work you somewhat hard (or at least his tests are harder than homework and lectures) but he is very nice. He’s only teaching grad level math this fall though.
Tisha Hayes - another ed school professor, she will keep you all the way until the end of class (3 hours) but she is soooo nice.
Jennifer LoCasale - this is an amazing ed school professor who teaches development and researches, she always lets you out early and you definitely learn and are entertained in her class.
Greg Humphreys - computer science - actually Greg quit his job here at UVA but he is very funny which always made going to class worthwhile. I can give opinions on any other CS professors too. Aaron Bloomfield is an excellent professor if you get to take a class with him.
Dalia Rosenfeld - she took over for Hedda Harari for Hebrew one semester (Hedda is also great, but works you to the bone) and doesn’t require practically any work at all, if you see her name come up take a class with her. Her husband is Asher Biemann and he teaches in the religious studies department.</p>
<p>sorry I listed so many…
Also here is a list of professors I would avoid:
-Patterson (Psych) - insists on a bell curve, though she is friendly
-Grujic (math) - doesn’t prepare for class, but the tests were easy
-Sonkin (math) - he’s left (for now) and everyone I know had horrible experiences with him
-Hale (history) - maybe I just dislike history classes, but she made us write a paper on how music caused poverty or something and lectured about it for 3 hours once…</p>
<p>I’m sure there are more… I’m sure you just wanted one professor but hopefully this will help someone somehow…</p>
