Who is your favorite professor?

Minna Tegsten | The Queens Chronicle

Age: 22

Major: Business

Hometown: Paris, France

“I have Dr. Steven Cox as my Marketing Research [professor]. In France we have like 50 people in one class; the teachers just grade the paper and are not very interactive with the students. Here we are 20-25 [students per class, so the] professor expects you to participate a lot. They want to know you; they want to know your name. In France you just raise your hand and respond; the teacher doesn’t know who you are, not like here. We first met Dr. Steven Cox in Strasbourg, he gave us a lot of information about Queens and helped us choose our courses. He invited us to a restaurant in Strasbourg, and when we got here, we were invited to eat at his house. That do not happen in France!”

Class: Senior

Major: New Media Design

“Jayne Johnson because she really cares about the students and cares about the work that they produce. She puts 100 percent into every class she teaches and also brings candy—my favorite of which are Almond Joys.”

Class: Freshman

Major: Nursing

“Dr. Whalen because the way his class is conducted everything flows and it makes sense. We always have discussions, and he always gets everyone’s input. ”

Carrie Williams likes that Dr. Schoolmeesters can make even an 8 a.m. class fun.

Class: Junior

Major: Nursing

“I’m in nursing school, so probably Dr. Schoolmester. I like her because she makes class fun all the time. Class is at 8 a.m., and she just always puts the students [up] to it to wake up and have fun and have class.”

Annie King thinks that Professor Ghandour’s real-life experience makes him such a good teacher.

Class: Freshman

Major: Psychology

“[Bilal Ghandour] has a good personality, and he has a lot to offer because he’s also a psychologist. More so than just being able to teach it, he has stories.”
