I think a professor can really make or break a class when it comes to something being interesting. Lotta baws in here talking about how interesting their history classes at LSU were, and I concur:

Gaines Foster
Bill Cooper
Paskoff
Ben Martin

You can’t be bored listening to those guys. I had a Japanese History professor who had a neurological condition and was absolutely impossible to understand or follow - the material was also difficult because keeping Kamigawa and Nobugawa and 100 variations thereof straight was a pain in the arse.

Kerry Sauley taught my management class and it was probably the most enjoyable class I took in college.

Law school?

Most interesting: maritime/admiralty law with Dean Sutherland or 1st amendment law with Jack Weiss

Most difficult: throw a dart. Anything taught by John Devlin or Alain Levasseur was a total nightmare.

I took a class from him on ancient Japanese history. I thought I would be learning about samurai but it was the era way before that. He had really bad Parkinson’s. It was sad. But that class was very dry. The pizza girl (featured on Anderson cooper) was in that class and would sit at the very front reading a newspaper. She would also throw a fit if she couldn’t get her seat. She was definitely on the spectrum.
