Many former students reflect on the significant influence their college professors had on their lives, recounting memorable moments. Professors provided unique learning experiences, like a creative final exam and ethical grading policies that recognized hard work. They offered personal support and help during tough times, attending funerals or responding to emergencies. The impact included addressing social dynamics in classrooms and showing compassion towards students' personal struggles, creating strong, lasting bonds that shaped their educational journeys and personal growth.
My professor had a 'big' final exam on the last day. Turned out, it was a gingerbread-building contest and we all passed if we were present.
In my ethics class, my professor let you keep your grade in the class and skip the final if you had an 'A' because 'It wasn't ethical to make you study when you've worked hard all year.' Loved her for that.
I had a statistics professor tell me that the education I was getting at a community college was the same as I would get at Stanford. He was a statistics professor at both.
I texted my ceramics teacher in a panic, like, 'Hey I'm going to miss class. I got arrested (bench warrant for a traffic ticket), so unless you have $300 for bail money ...' He was like, 'Yeah, I'll send someone over with it and some extra. Pick up tacos for everyone on your way back.'
