Most interesting: US History 1 or Poli Sci. Both had awesome professors which made the class exciting and fun.


Same here. Shout-out to Gaines Foster at LSU. He was a great lecturer for US History. I was "meh" going into the first one, but he made it so interesting that I made a point to take his class for the second one. I took notes for 90 minutes straight til my hands fell off, yet still enjoyed the class.

Agree completely his class was great, then his understudy was Outland I believe who taught the next class, also fantastic and interesting.

That and Phil Breaux’s BLAW classes were my favorites

Hardest was investments had to sweat out a D for diploma my final semester of undergrad

Came here to post this. He was fantastic. I took each of his US History classes in the fall and spring of '86. He possessed such an amazing amount of knowledge and was able to break it down in a way that you left class wanting to know even more. It was the first time academically that I looked forward to re-reading my notes after class.

He always reminded me of Alan Alda. Then I found the History Guy on YouTube, and realized he and Foster must have been separated at birth.
