re: Best Teachers you had at LSU

4 ChemE posts. I am amazed. But I am guessing none of the posters got to spend time in the sugar lab.

Max still teaches. Max and Doc were the best. I also liked Rhett Roy, he only taught a couple of years in the mid 70s. He just past away last year in Florida. I worked for him in Ft. Lauderdale a few years after I graduated.

4 more than I expected.

Dr. Toups from UO lab was great though.

I saw J-Hop mentioned. I lucked out and had him for P-chem as well. Wanna know how useless that class was? The Friday before the 2010 LSU-Bama game he made a deal with the class that he would give everyone an A or a B if the tigers won.

We pulled that one out of our arse and he honored it.

Here’s one that’ll make waves with the chemical engineers… I liked Dooley. He was a count, but…. Well he was just a count. But he culled the herd effectively.

I had her. She was a good teacher, probably top 5 that I took. She was also a close talker.

I enjoyed J-Hop

Lots of great profs at LSU

I was a freshman in mid 1980’s so unfortunately I can’t remember names.
La History teacher that I really enjoyed - I actually kept the text book.
A zoology class that the teacher came from the vet school and taught part of the semester.
A few economics teachers that i enjoyed.
First level and second level accounting professors - made the class interesting.
Some stats classes

The only one that really annoyed me was a chemistry teach that unfortunately I had 2 semesters in a row. He’d lock the door and if you weren’t in your seat he wasn’t letting you in the room. He rode around on his damn bike and had a little horn that he would ring. I think he had a basket on the front that his little shite head dog would ride in.
He always looked pissed off like some stole one of his chemistry beakers.

I cant remember her name off the top of my head but she taught the into to calculous for business majors class in Cox auditorium my freshmen year of fall 2011. I always got Cs in math in high school but I got an A in her class because she made things simple. My god if only every of my previous math teachers had been as good as her.

Dottie Vaughn, an angel of mathematics

ETA I never see him mentioned in these threads, Old Testament with Charles Isbell was a standout experience in my four years at LSU. Very funny old rabbi

That would be the legendary Mark Carleton. Hell of a teacher. Graduate of Yale and Stanford. He was from Minnesota but moved to Louisiana because he said "Minnesota history is boring."

He got mad at his department head one spring semester and left for the summer without turning in any grades.
