    I was TA for Grier. BUt I never had his as a teacher. Cool guy.

    For me it was Kevin McCaul. Hands down. Its never a bad time to reach out and tell a teacher what they meant to you. I ran into him and bought him a beverage at H&H once. Good time.
    I don't care how the vote ended up. They still suck and always will.

    I should say that Mark Meister probably did me the biggest favor by not letting me into grad school. I wanted to get my graduate degrees in communications and become an academic. I had a less than ideal transcript so he said no.

    I make way more and work way less than my wife does now.
    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Robert Wood - Political Science

    Mark Meister - Communication
    I once heard Dr. Wood say he hoped UNd wouldn’t change their nickname because “Siou Suck” has such a nice ring to it. Political Science 101.

    Fred Haring

    Math Professor who instructed me in Calc V (quarter system back in the day). He made you solve the problems and write an essay on how you were solving the problem and why. When I was done with that class I knew multivariable calculus inside and out. Unfortunately I haven't used it since and forgot it all.

    After the first test, most of the class bombed the test. The first class after that test students came in and complained for the first 15 minutes about how "hard" the test was. Dr. Haring just let them rant and after he had enough he undoes the buttons on his arm and rolls his sleeve up. He then shows the class an ID tattoo the Germans gave him at a concentration camp during WWII and he looks at the class and simply said "You don't know what hard is". He rolled his sleeve up to complete silence in the room and began his next lecture. The next class I'd say 2/3 of the class was gone.

    Agreed. The Arch history class was always interesting especially since he took most of the photos of the buildings he was showing us. My two favorite things from him were:

    Cathedrals in Europe have a "Jesus Christ" affect. Not that they are overly religious, but when you walk in and look up you say, "Jesus Christ!"

    The Fargodome was being built at time and he called it the Far-ga-da-me which rhymes with lobotomy which is what the architects who designed the thing must have had

    My only complaint about his class is he would shut off the lights to show the slides and the next thing I would remember was him turning on the lights at the end of class.

    Rik Ekstrom was the other architecture professor I liked because he actually understood the value of being involved in activities outside the program. None of the other professors did.

    I enjoyed Patty Corwin. Her Soc 101 class was a blast! It appears she's still there. I also had a history class with Larry Peterson. He was funny and a little nuts.

    Steve Ward. Had him for a few English classes. He always gave me good grades on my writing and I liked the novels he assigned us to read. Dr. Broberg for Chemistry. Scoby was pretty entertaining for Biology. He was ahead of his time with his thoughts on the environment.
