  Brian Guinn has been the best professor. He encourages his students to be great. He genuinely cares about our education. He also helps his students when they are having issues with other classes and he cares about mental health.
  
  Honestly one of the best professors I've had. He makes me feel comfortable in his class and I feel like I've learned a lot from him. He's the first professor I've had that offers constant encouragement and praise for their students. He's always complimenting everyone on what they do good. He takes the time to learn every student's name and finds something to talk about.
  
  Dr. Guinn put learning first in his classroom. He worked to make sure students understood the content and was always understanding if you contacted him about an issue you were having in class.

  Brian Guinn is absolutely more than a professor--he is a mentor and father figure to every student he teachers whether he realizes it or not.

  Dr. Baisch goes over and beyond for her students to not only understand the material and apply it daily but to feel comfortable about the material. She makes learning fun and enhances the knowledge that she feels is more important.
  
  Mrs. Baisch always made her students feel important and was always willing to go the extra mile to help us. She is caring and compassionate and we all knew we could go to her for anything we needed. She is truly an amazing professor and mentor!
  
  Mrs. Baisch is one of the best instructors I have had in my undergraduate career. She not only takes the time to check in on students and make sure they are doing okay, but also offers herself as a resource we can come to. Nursing school is not easy, but she makes it feel a lot less overwhelming with her kind-hearted and lively personality that is just so contagious.

• Brad Shuck
  Educational Leadership, Evaluation and Organizational Development
  College of Education and Human Development
  I couldn't have asked for a more communicative and supportive professor. He constantly cheered us on and told us how proud of us he was for doing the work and completing the program. He gave feedback that was appreciative and meaningful and it really showed he took the time to read it. Brad was the perfect person to end these last two transformative years with.
  
  He is super positive and easy to work with. Dr. Shuck helped me focus my efforts while still enjoying the research.
  
  Dr. Shuck was always available to assist when I reached out during the program. Not only did he help, he made me feel like he was truly there to help us succeed - which is hard to do in a virtual environment. During his class, he also laid out the assignments in a manner that helped make the course work flow and greatly helped in my understanding of how it all connected.
  
  Professor Shuck was very encouraging. He was very knowledgeable in the subject. When I was not sure about the requirements of the HAT he explained it to me in a one-on-one session. This helped take away my anxiety about the project and helped me get back on track.
  
  He was very open during the course and easy to contact.
  
  Dr. Shuck has been an incredible support during my last course in the HROD program (Capstone). Even though it was an asynchronous course, he was in constant contact and provided great direction and support. He was always available to answer questions quickly and put us at ease in a high stress course. I appreciate his encouragement and learning from him this semester.
  
  Brad has been excellent as my advisor and my professor throughout the HROD program. He has been so helpful, encouraging, motivating, and supportive! I have never had a professor or advisor throughout my college career be so uplifting and really care for their students as much as he does!
  
  He was the nicest professor I've had. I enjoyed all of my classes and all of my professors but I thought Dr. Shuck was the most supportive and encouraging teacher I had. He really wanted us to succeed and do well in the course. Would recommend him to anybody.
  
  Dr. Shuck is a great instructor and academic advisor! He was very helpful during my entire time at the University of Louisville.
  
  Dr. Shuck is a great educator, mentor, and motivator! He deserves this award!
  
  Dr. Shuck is an amazing professor! My first and last course of my graduate program was with Dr. Shuck. He genuinely cares for his students, has a passion for what he does, and wants to help students learn, grow, and be better for themselves and our community. I couldn't think of anyone else to nominate. He deserves to be recognized. Thank you for inspiring me.
  
  Dr. Shuck was one of the initial reasons I began to pursue my masters degree. As he taught our capstone course he never failed to be uplifting, encouraging, and to provide insightful advice that will have an impact on my future career.
  
  Dr. Shuck is one of the most positive and motivating professors I've had this Spring semester. He's made a lasting impression during my time here at UoL. I have an overwhelming amount of gratitude for this program and professors, but especially professors such as Dr. Shuck who have shaped my experience despite it being a virtual environment.
  
  Great instructor and mentor!

  Professor khaldoun is a great professor that cares about his students. He will devote extra time outside class to ensure that all of us have the right materials to be successful.

  Khaldoun is a professor unlike no other. He goes above and beyond when it comes to his students. His lectures are engaging and exciting, giving everyone opportunity to show what they've learned. The environment in his classroom is welcoming and he really makes you feel like you are apart of something bigger.

  I am taking Arabic 121 online this semester with Professor Almousily. He is a very effective teacher, and his lectures are both very educational and entertaining. He's definitely the best foreign language teacher I've had!
  
  Professor Almousily's ability to connect with his students and his talent at teaching simple concepts, as well as more advanced topics, are both truly superior. He is, by far, the best professor UofL has.
  
  I felt comfortable and pushed myself to learn, grow and practice language with native speakers because I felt respected, comfortable, and safe. I felt that Khaldoun actually cares about his students which made me take the risks necessary to venture out of my comfort zones, make mistakes, and learn!
  
  Best teacher. Each time I enter his classroom I can't leave without a smile
  
  It was a great class

  Dr. Berfield cares deeply for his students and their education. His teaching is applicable to the real world; rather than just memorizing equations, we have learned about case studies where materials failed. As an example of pressure vessels, he brought in 40 hot dogs and cooked them during class. What I thought would be a boring class has turned out to be my favorite.

  Dr. B has made one of the most academically challenging points in my life smoother and more enjoyable than I thought possible. She is an unwavering positive force in M1's students lives and is a warm and supportive person who is greatly appreciated.
  
  375 characters is not enough to describe Dr. B's impact on the class of 2025. She has all the answers for our questions and all the right words to alleviate our stresses. I felt at home under her care and instruction. I hate having to choose "my favorite", but if I must, I choose Dr. B. Thank you for putting medical school into perspective and for believing in us.

  Dr. B is the most passionate professor I've ever had!
  
  Dr. Buchanan has been much more to me than just a professor. She is kind, funny, supportive, and it is clear that she loves to teach and cares about her students more than just academically. I feel very lucky to be in her final class, I wouldn't be able to finish this semester without her. She deserves the highest honor for what she has done for U of L and her students.
  
  Profe Buchanan brings an energy & passion to the classroom unlike any other Spanish professor I have ever had. She has reinvigorated my love for the language, culture, & literature. She pushes her students to succeed & believes in us. I wish she wasn't retiring so I could take more of her classes. Any student who has been fortunate enough to study under her is truly lucky.
  
  Dr. Buchanan is a true treasure to UofL. She cares deeply about her student's success and treats them as if they're her own children. Her devotion to her profession is extremely admirable and anyone is lucky to have her as a professor. She will truly be missed when she retires.

  Educational Leadership, Evaluation and Organizational Development
  College of Education and Human Development
  Dr. Buckley was not only my instructor but has been my faculty advisor for the MEC program for the past two plus years. Jess is an absolute Rock Star!

Roger Buskill has helped countless students reach their full potential by setting the example, being hard yet fair, and helping after hours.
  
  I have had Professor Buskill for two semesters. I seek his name out in the course catalog. The reason that I think so highly of Professor Buskill is that he is never too busy to answer a question. He makes learning exciting, he's patient and very pleasant.
• Lynda Byrd-Poller
  Educational Leadership, Evaluation and Organizational Development
  College of Education and Human Development
  I have never had a teacher care so much about the development of their students as Dr. Byrd-Poller does. It is more than just helping her students achieve good grades, she actually wants you to grasp the concepts and does her best to help you apply the concepts. I truly enjoyed being in her class.
  
  Dr. Byrd-Pollard was very knowledgeable and engaging during her course. She provided excellent feedback for each assignment which was helpful in learning the material and improving my performance. In addition, she conducted numerous webinar sessions and used these events to enhance the overall learning experience.
• Greg Byrne

  Sarah Carter cares deeply about the success and fortitude of her students, and nurtures both with outstanding dedication and care. Many of my teachers this spring were amazing, but Dr. Carter stood out as she went above and beyond expectations to ensure I was well, feeling supported, and had what I needed to do well in her course.
  
  Professor Carter has went above and beyond in making my Pediatric class and clinical experience the best to date. She is easy to talk to and very quick to respond. I am going to miss having class with her.
• Kyle Casson
  College of Business
  He is one of the good professors that the Cohort-A got so far. Not just the theory classes, the way we have been shaped through class practicals and Projects was really good. May be we could get professors like him in the coming days but for now I would recommend him as my favourite professor.
  
  He did his job perfectly. Gave good examples, many practice sessions. Taught using the board as well. He mainly gave us a pen-paper final.
• Brandi Cecil
  School of Nursing
  Brandi was an amazing clinical instructor who completely changed my perspective about inpatient psych nursing for the better. She is so hardworking and knowledgeable and really made such an impact on mine and other clinical students learning. She is the kind of instructor I feel very comfortable communicating with and asking advice from.
  
  Brandi was an awesome clinical instructor. I felt like she genuinely cared about her students and she treated us equally, not inferior. She was always so nice, understanding, and helpful.
• Yong Chao
  Economics
  College of Business
  He is a great professor. Very kind and helpful. Teaches well and does many examples to help his class learn.
  
  Dr. Chao has been one of the most influential professors I have taken during my time at UofL. He got me interested in economics and game theory even though I'm an engineering major, and encouraged me to pursue further learning in this field.
• Michael Chapman

  College of Education and Human Development
  Awesome teacher who truly puts the well being of his students before anything.
• Raymond Chastain
  Physics and Astronomy
  College of Arts and Sciences
  Always helpful to students, makes class a fun and engaging place to be. very understanding and good at his job
  
  He is always there to help his students and makes sure everyone understands the content. He has by far been my best professor. I came into his class with 0 background knowledge and was able to excel in the class.He also tries to throw in a few funny things to make class enjoyable. He is the only professor that I don't get bored with even though he was over an hour lecture.
  
  Dr. Chastain explains complicated concepts clearly and effectively while keeping the class engaged and facilitating an active learning environment. He takes extra time to talk to students who are having trouble in class to ensure that they understand the content and can be successful in the course.
  
  One of the most effective professors I've ever had; very understanding and gives students the confidence to succeed.
  
  His teaching style is the best out of all the classes I have taken at U of L so far. You get an assignment calendar, know what's on the exam and can get help during office hours or in the PLC and the professor is very responsive through email as well. As long as a student stays on track with the material, they can be successful in this class easily!
  
  Professor Chastain is the best, hands down.
  
  I always looked forward to Dr. Chastain's class. I had never taken physics before, but he made the class so interesting and fun. I loved the way the class was structured.
  
  The best, most attentive professor I've ever had.

  School of Nursing
  Dr. Clark has been one of the most influential and motivating instructors I have ever had. He always pushes his students to be the best versions of themselves and taught us to believe in our abilities!
  
  There aren't really words to describe the impact Dr. Clark made on my academic and professional life. He's so kind and smart and makes everybody feel important. I catch myself all the time thinking to myself, "What would Dr. Clark do"? I hope one day to be half the nurse he is.
  
  Dr. Paul Clark is amazing. He is fun and engaging and made learning easy! He made Pharmacology interesting and easy to remember. He was such a joy to have as a Professor.
  
  One of my all-time favorite teachers ever! Such a sweet soul and actually good at teaching and efficient! He went through some personal things, but always showed up with a smile on his face!

  Dr. Clark really cares about her students. She takes the time to talk to you. She makes you feel more than just a student, she really makes you feel like a person and makes you feel important. I have learned so much from Dr. Clark this semester and felt as if she really cared about her students.
• Adam Cocco
  Health and Sports Sciences
  College of Education and Human Development
  Dr. Cocco did a great job this entire semester offering support to his students in our course. He prioritized meeting virtually face-to-face to discuss assignments, papers, and even just stats as a whole. I really enjoyed the course more than I thought I would at the beginning of the semester.
• Jesse Cohen
  School of Nursing
  Mr. Cohen takes the time to make sure everyone in the class has a clear understanding of the work being taught. He takes time out of his day to sit down and work out any issues with you as well as providing extra credit work to help get your grade where it needs to be.

• Brittney Corniel
  School of Nursing
  She went above and beyond for students. She's a natural teacher
  
  I could not have made it through NURS357 without Dr. Corneil! The School of Nursing and our entire cohort is lucky to have her knowledge and skill.
  
  Dr. Corneil is an amazing addition to UofL SON! She made maternal newborn bearable and fun. The passion she has is shown as she teaches content and does review sessions so that we understand what we're learning. She is so kind and caring and very much on the student's side and in my opinion should be the main professor of the NURS 357 class.
  
  This was Dr Corniel's first semester teaching in the graduate program for nursing. She did a phenomenal job. She was a fantastic teacher and incredibly understanding that as grad students we have work and lives outside of school. Very rarely have I ever had professors I will miss having and I will definitely miss her. She did fantastic and I wanted her to know that!
  
  Dr.Corneil really went above and beyond this semester to make sure we could be successful in this class. She is an astounding teacher and very talented.
  
  Mrs. Brittney went above and beyond for her students. She has met with us multiple times outside of class.
  
  Grade A Instructor
  
  Dr. Corniel made a huge impact on my success this semester with Maternal Newborn. She was effective in helping me to understand the content and pass my exams with grades I never imagined. She was like a breath of fresh air! She brought her experience from Labor & Delivery into the classroom as a way to connect her experiences with the content we were learning.
  
  She goes above and beyond. Having recently graduated from the program herself, she has a unique perspective as a professor and truly wants us to succeed. She includes real life examples that help us remember every detail of Advanced Pathophysiology. Prior to each exam and the final, in her personal time she hosted Collaborate study sessions and created study guides for us.
  
  She worked extra hours to help struggling students succeed. She has an infectious positive attitude and teaches in a compassionate way.
  
  Dr.Corneil has been an incredible help this semester to me and my fellow classmates! She has gone above & beyond to try to help us succeed and truly learn. From offering study sessions, to teaching in lab, & always being there to reach out to- she has been a comforting light in this what can be very stressful time. Im so thankful for her,&her; help&time; that she sacrificed!
  
  Dr. Corniel is a great and inspirational instructor. She goes above and beyond to dedicate her time and expertise to helping us learn and apply the content.

  Professor Crush is an extremely effective teacher. She gives amazing lectures that are very organized and follow the syllabus exactly as written. Not only are her teaching skills top notch, she obviously cares very much about her students. She is understanding and does what she can to lead us to success in the course. One of the best professors I've ever had!
• Denise Cumberland
  Educational Leadership, Evaluation and Organizational Development
  College of Education and Human Development
  Dr. C is an exceptional professor and advisor. It's her commitment to her students, the way she champions the U and the manner in which she elevates those around her to be better that has no parallel in my book. She is thoughtful, selfless, approachable, fiercely intelligent, funny and human. I can think of no one more deserving.
• Matthieu Dalle
  Classical and Modern Languages
  College of Arts and Sciences
  Dr. Dalle is one of the best professors I have ever had. He is organized and always remembers where we left off at each class - we follow up with each assignment. The entire class schedule is designed to help us better our language skills and each lesson builds on the previous one. I have learned so much in this class.
• Judith Danovitch

  Cara Davies has helped us students in the MSBA program SO much. She responds to every question or email thoroughly and you can tell she really cares about us learning the material and understanding it!
• Erin Davis
  Anatomical Sciences and Neurobiology

• Marci DeCaro
  Psychological and Brain Sciences
  College of Arts and Sciences
  Marci is simply a wonderful instructor, researcher, mentor, and person. She treats her students with kindness and respect while also creating the most engaging classroom environment possible, even when virtual. I feel that Marci is someone I could go to with any kind of question or concern and be supported. I'm grateful for her and know she makes the PBS department better!
• Hallie Decker
  School of Public Health and Information Sciences
  Hallie co-instructed PHPB 301 (Health Equity). She was an amazing instructor who brought the curriculum to life. Even though the material included very heavy topics, Hallie wasn't afraid to get us talking and dive into discussion. Every morning she made class interesting and she made sure to keep everyone engaged from the beginning of class to the end.
• Joseph Decker
  Academic Advising Center
  College of Arts and Sciences
  Mr. Decker has been the best faculty I've had an encounter with since I started UofL four years ago. I don't think I could have found anyone more attentive than he when it came to accomplishing my goals faster and with accuracy. He always made sure to answer my questions right away and get me the help I needed. I couldn't imagine having any other advisor than Mr. Decker.
• Fabian Diaz
  Management and Entrepreneurship
  College of Business
  Mr. Diaz is a professor who deserves much more recognition than 375 characters. Mr. Diaz conducted his course in a way I have never seen in my four years here at UofL. In a class regarding business creativity, Mr. Diaz went above and beyond in allowing our creativities to show. Again, 375 characters is about 1/100 of what I need to describe this professor.
• Taylor Dougherty
  Education Instruction
  College of Education and Human Development
  Taylor as a professor is amazing. She provides so much support for teachers during one of the hardest time of our lives. Because she is a professor who really understands what we've gone through this herself, she knows exactly what we need. She could not have been a better teacher for this course.
  
  Taylor has been an amazing instructor to my classmates and me for the past year. She is kind and shows that she cares about her students in every class period. We learn, joke, and have a lot of fun in her class.
  
  Taylor has been the most personal, caring, and prepared professor I have had at UofL. She caters her class to students' needs and creates an environment for learning and growth. She has made my experience in the Education Program at UofL one I will never forget.
  
  Taylor has made an impact on each and every single one of my classmates this semester. She truly cares about our teaching experience and wants us to be the best teachers that we can possibly be.
  
  Taylor Dougherty is an outstandingly supportive professor and major positive influence on my own development as an educator.
  
  Dr. Taylor always finds a way to make her class exciting and enjoyable! She is a great role model. Her teaching philosophy is based on the importance of inclusion and creating a classroom where each student can feel welcomed, valued, and respected. As a future Spanish teacher, I feel very privileged to have been her student and learn how to lead my students to success.
  
  This professor is really understanding and she really is good at the profession of teaching. I learned a lot in her course and it was a good class.
• LaKecia Dudley-Jenkins
  Kent School of Social Work
  I feel this professor was very helpful, went above and beyond to accommodate students during a pandemic, and taught very interesting and effective lessons.
  
  There are not enough nice things that I could say about Professor Dudley-Jenkins. She was so helpful over the semester when things would arise and she was understanding when these last minute things did occur. She genuinely wants to see students to succeed and be the best that they can be. She gave me encouragement throughout the semester when needed.
• Thomas Dumstorf
  Classical and Modern Languages
  College of Arts and Sciences
  Tom Dumstorf is one of the greatest educators I've ever met. His dedication to out of the box teaching strategies have made his courses a true pleasure to participate in, and his concern for his students welfare and futures is completely genuine. If any person at this University deserves to be recognized for their virtues, it's Tom Dumstorf.
  
  Instructor Dumstorf genuinely cares about his students. He is extremely understanding and goes out of his way for us. Additionally, class is engaging and interesting. He talks about current events, connects us with native speakers, and is always open to questions.
• Farooq Durrani
  Finance
  College of Business
  Farooq is a great teacher, but is also very funny and helpful to students.
  
  Professsor Durrani has taught me more real life applicable information than any other professor. He genuinely wants you to do well but mostly wants you to learn. I felt extremely motived to do well in the class due to how much he cared about it, as well.
• Seth Eckler
  Health and Sport Sciences
  College of Education and Human Development
  Grade A Instructor

  Pleasant teacher with a positive attitude. Knows how to make class enjoyable and not put too much work on the shoulders of his students.
  
  Great professor that makes learning enjoyable.
  
  Professor Eckler is very enthusiastic about teaching students and shows a great understanding and passion to the material he teaches
  
  This is a five-star professor that cares and is willing to help out students in any situation that they are in. Thank you for a good semester.
  
  Seth is absolutely great! He is very understanding and helpful. He instructs in a different way and it keeps all of his classes interesting. You can tell he really loves his job!
  
  I have had professor Eckler twice now, and both times he has been great. His classes are organized and easy to follow, which means so much when taking an online class!!
  
  My instructor for 2 online classes this semester. I thoroughly enjoyed both of them.
  
  Seth is the best!! Always there for students when they need help with assignments or with life struggles!! Enjoyed my time in this class immensely !!
  
  I loved learning from Professor Eckler. He makes the content easy to understand even when some of the material is hard. He is my top 3 favorite professors for sure!!
  
  Professor Eckler had a really fun and engaging class, and I can't wait to possibly take some of his other courses as well.
• Thomas Edison

• Alia Eldairi
  Comprehensive Dentistry
  School of Dentistry
  She's sweet, kind, and caring to all her students! She's always ready to help everyone and will explain the same thing multiple times, as if she heard the question for the first time, with the sweetest and kindest attitude!
  
  Dr. Eldairi was always eager to help and made students feel very comfortable to ask her for it. She was also very understanding of other life events causing any conflict with school and would try to accommodate or assist if she could. Dr. Eldairi is what every teacher should strive to be like.
• Mary Elliott
  Special Education, Early Childhood and Prevention Science
  College of Education and Human Development
  Dr. Elliot was a great instructor. Not only did she lay out the course work where the assignments and lessons were easily understood, she also took the extra time to openly discuss the application of the lesson in different organizations and how to better maximize the lesson into our daily life.
• Lucas Elliott
  Special Education, Early Childhood and Prevention Science
  College of Education and Human Development
  Mr Elliot is great. He is down to earth, kind, and supportive of all his students. He is flexible and puts the feelings and emotions of his students first. He isn't afraid to change up a lesson for the students' sake.
• Steven Ellis
  Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics
  School of Medicine
  This professor really changed my outlook on Biochemistry and made me love Amino Acids. It was a topic I struggled with in undergrad, but he gave me a whole new appreciation and different perspective on how imporant Biochemistry really is in our everyday life and how many different issues can arise.
  
  Dr. Ellis brings enthusiasm & interest to every single one of his lectures. The content he teaches would be dry & much more difficult if presented by anyone with less care & creativity. He is a master of showing us how everything is both interconnected & relevant. My experience in medical school would not be the same without him.
  
  Ellis was a saving grace. His material was very complex and he would explain it on a level we could understand, provide reasoning for why it was relevant to dentistry, and made learning biochem fun!
  
  Dr. Ellis has single-handedly improved the education of many medical students over the years during the MBLDD course. When a lecturer falls through, he takes it upon himself to fill in. He takes the time to slowly build concepts instead of going through 50 slides in 30 minutes.

• Jessica Emery
  School of Nursing
  Mrs. Emery has made every attempt to stay in contact with all of my instructors to assure she is teaching the correct material and covering the correct math concepts. If possible she also provides the most up to date data/information for my classes. She is a great instructor/mentor. I hope she continues to provide information.
• Josh English
  English
  College of Arts and Sciences
  This is my first semester of college and even my advisor hasn't been as helpful as Mr. English for me when it comes to figuring out what classes I should register for in the spring and identifying what I want to major in. His teaching style just makes sense to me as a student. His approach to Eng101 through the lens of Afrofuturism is absolutely riveting to me and the class.
  
  He was a great teacher that took the time to explain everything well and made sure everyone understood what we were doing.
• Kristie Ennis
  English
  College of Arts and Sciences
  Dr. Ennis should be recognized as one of the best professors at U of L. The way she teaches and connects with her students is like no other. I had a great semester with her.
  
  Let me first start off by saying Dr. Ennis is amazing!!! I know that is only one word to describe her and her class, but it is true. Her class was so well organized and she made it so that it was the type of class where you needed to take it seriously, but one you did not need to stress about in a way. I love the class and can't wait to take it next semester!
  
  Dr. Ennis has been by far the best educator that I've ever had. I've grown not only as a writer, but as a learner that extends into my other courses. Dr. Ennis deserves all the praise in the world for all of the hard work and care that she puts in for all her students, and every student she has is so lucky to have her. Thank you so much Dr. Ennis!
  
  You are a great professor and understand students for who they are. Thank you for being great!
  
  I loved the way you taught the class and was very sad that I couldn't be in your 102 class next semester. English is usually my weakest and most stressful subject, but your class was my favorite and not stressful at all, I really enjoyed coming to it and learned a lot from it! Thank you!
  
  Dr. Ennis' teaching style and course structure make the class as easy as it can be. She ensures that students are not doing more work than necessary. Dr. Ennis encourages her students to collaborate with each other for guidance and inspiration. She can be reached outside of class hours easily and understands that her students have a life outside of school.
  
  As an engineering major, I was not sure that I would be able to enjoy an English class. However, I found Dr. Ennis's teaching style to be very effective and her personality was so positive. I found myself enjoying going to her class because she always made me smile and was very approachable. After her class, I would always feel refreshed. This teacher is so amazing!
  
  Dr. Ennis shows so much love and care for her students. She lets us work independently and keeps class light and fun.
• Veronica Eubank
  School of Nursing
  Dr. Eubank is my faculty favorite because she has her students' best interests in mind. I have had personal, one-on-one sessions with her as my tutor. She is currently my instructor and she always wants the best of our students. It has been a pleasure working with her and I know that she is a great addition to the cardinal team and nursing staff.
• Clint Evrard

  Clint has been an exceptional TA considering our professor was out for basically the whole of the semester. If I were able to take another class would him, I would in a heartbeat. I wish him the best in his endeavors!
• Patrick Exmeyer
  Urban and Public Affairs
  College of Arts and Sciences
  Dr. Exmeyer is one of the best and most personable professors I have ever had. He is extremely relatable and understanding. Also, he has so much excitement and energy about his classes, which is great for these type of classes (three-hour long evening classes).
• Jeffrey Falcone
  Physiology
  School of Medicine
  I am astounded by Dr. Falcone's ability to help students learn difficult material. I am thankful that he is my professor because he has helped me understand complex concepts within my 605 course without showing bias or dissatisfaction in not understanding. He goes out of his way to hold study sessions outside of class and I always feel comfortable in asking him for help.
  
  Dr. Falcone was always there to answer our questions even if it was related to other instructors in Physiology.
  
  Dr. Falcone made the difficult renal physiology easy to understand. He knows how to engage the students.
  
  Dr. Falcone goes ABOVE and BEYOND for students! In addition to the time he dedicates to teaching in the classroom, Dr. Falcone holds Zoom sessions outside of class (on his own time) for reviews. Dr. Falcone truly helps students by giving us all the resources we could need to succeed. If I could ask Dr. Falcone to teach every subject, I would! Amazing professor and person!
  
  Dr. Falcone regularly strives to do everything he can to ensure his students learn to the best of their abilities. That means when class is finished, his work is not done. He not only holds extra office hours multiple times throughout the week to ensure excellence in the content, as well as meeting 1-on-1 if needed. I have never had such a passionate professor.

  Dr. Farmer is both a compassionate educator and a fierce advocate for ULSOM students. Throughout the pandemic, he reached out to students to identify and fix the problems most concerning to us. He is a passionate teacher and finds learning opportunities in every case or patient.

  College of Arts and Sciences
  She was very nice and always willing to help students with their questions.
  
  Professor Franco is very caring and works to make sure that the students actually learn the criteria rather than just handing out work and letting the students learn on their own.
  
  Understanding and friendly.
  
  Overall I think Professor Franco is an alright teacher. I felt like I understood the content in the class but I also feel that was only because I had already taken AP Chemistry in high school, so I was already familiar with the subjects.
  
  Dr. Franco is my favorite professor by far. Even though the class was distance ed, she would always take her time to make sure each student is doing their best in the class. If you ever had any problems, she would take her time to explain the material until you understand what it is about. She deserves to be one of the Top nominees.

  Dr. Freberg provides great hands-on learning experiences throughout her graduate courses.

• Jordan Gabbard

  I started Introductory German with Prof. Gabbard during the pandemic. He was always very encouraging and extremely accommodating with the difficulties of learning a new language via Teams. Not only that, but he was always available for a meeting or a chat if we ever needed to talk about something. I could not have asked for more from Professor Gabbard in those 3 semesters.
  
  One of the best instructor I've have this semester; extremely helpful and lenient.
  
  Prof. Gabbard has the truest teaching spirit of any professor at UofL. Every day, he walks into class with a smile on his face, and it's clear that he is authentically excited to be there.

• Matthew Goldberg
  History
  College of Arts and Sciences
  Great teacher and lecturer. He knows how to engage the class to get us thinking and asking questions.
  
  A fantastic and engaging professor!
  
  I have never met a professor who taught me how to make connections more than Professor Goldberg did. I would take a million of his courses, so it's a shame he only teaches a couple.
  
  Professor Goldberg exhibits great knowledge of his subject, but he also has the ability to make it interesting and actually FUN for us "learners"! He is always willing to listen to the students' opinions and accept or refute them cogently. A few minutes before class there is usually a bit of "silly" conversation but once class starts he is "all business"!
  
  Professor Goldberg is a caring professor who makes learning fun.
• Zachary Goldman
  Management and Entrepreneurship
  College of Business
  Sets the standard for the UofL MBA program. I wholeheartedly believe that all faculty and staff involved with UofL CoB should learn or have his class structure implemented across the board.

  Dr. Goldman was a great professor and really made his course worthy and interesting. Thought he did a wonderful job.

Dr. Gorce has made an impact on my time at UofL by always asking about my background and wanting to learn more about me on a personal level.
  
  Dr. Gorce made me excited to come to organic chemistry II lab each week! We would always spend several minutes exchanging stories with each other. She is one of the few, if not the only, professor I have had that spends time to check in on their students and develop a relationship with them.

• Tricia Gray
  Political Science
  College of Arts and Sciences
  I didn't have Dr. Gray for a class, but for Model EU this semester. It was the first year UofL had sent a delegation, and Dr. Gray certainly did a lot, from being our faculty advisor to putting together a presentation, to attending the conference right before a family vacation.
  
  She has done great work with the members of the UNA and her input as an advisor has been invaluable.
  
  Dr. Gray has played a huge role in my academic success this semester. As coordinator for the Frankfort program and for Model UN and European Union, she has helped me to branch out in more ways than I could have imagined.
  
  Dr. Gray has had my back since day one. Not only was she a great professor for POLS 202, but she also introduced me to some great opportunities like Model United Nations and UofL UNA, which she's faculty advisor for. Her encouragement and dedication means the world to me and so many other students. Thank you for all you do, Dr. Gray!

  Dr. Grigutis is so supportive and encouraging! She takes time to instruct on a personal level and really listens to students concerns. I have learned so much about the profession from listening to her!
  
  Dr. Grigutis is not only an exceptional academician, but she's also an experienced and trusted advisor who is willing to share her knowledge and experience to help others inspire and reach their goal, especially during the pandemic.

• Imisha Gurung
  School of Public Health and Information Sciences
  Imisha really enhanced my learning this semester. She taught a class about focus groups that inspired some of us to host our own focus group.

• Michael Hagan
  Comparative Humanities
  College of Arts and Sciences
  Dr. Hagan is an outstanding professor. He teaches in a way that makes you think outside the box, and makes you WANT to analyze things instead of feeling obligated to for an assignment. He takes a more relatable approach in teaching the material that keeps students drawn in.

  Dr. Hardy is extremely understanding.

  Professor Hardy has really had a positive impact on my semester. He shows his students that he not only cares about our success in his class, but also about us as people. He is very knowledgeable in what he teaches, and easily keeps his class engaged. I haven't met a more kind or caring professor in my three semesters at UofL than Dr. Hardy.
  
  The first day in class is always a bit uncomfortable, but, Dr. Hardy did some fantastic icebreakers (that are more than just name and major), and during the semester always made a point to walk around the class and check with people to see how they were doing with schoolwork, and if they needed any assistance on an assignment. He was always accommodating.
  
  Dr. Hardy really cares about his students and always takes the time to make sure everyone understands the assignments. He works so hard and manages to keep a positive attitude no matter the circumstances. He has expressed his willingness to write any reference letters we may need and genuinely wants to help his students in all of their future endeavors.

  Dr. Harman is one of my favorite professors! As a transfer student I was very nervous coming in to a university and she made my transition much easier to be productive moving forward. She made biomechanics fun and exciting and there was not one time where she was not willing to help me.
  
  Dr. Harman has always welcomed me back (failed 2x) with a smile and tried twice as hard to help me understand the material. Even when I'd give up on myself, she never gave up on me. Dr. Harman may not see it/realize that she is the definition of the kind of professor that we look back at our lives once we reach our goals and say thank you to. Because she believed in us.

She was by far my favorite professor throughout my college career!
  
  I had Prof. Harman for two of my classes this semester and she has by far been one of the most understanding professors I've had to date. I struggled a lot with my physical and mental health in the back half of the semester and she ensured I got through the rest of the semester in one piece.

You can tell she loves what she does and really makes sure her students are okay not just with the material, but also with life in general. Dr. Harman is the best!
  
  She is incredibly intelligent and is always there for the students. Her bright and welcoming energy makes for a wonderful learning environment.
  
  Dr. Harman always goes above and beyond to ensure her students understand the material and succeed. She is a great professor and needs to be acknowledged for her hard work.

  Mr. Hoefer's class was intriguingly informative. I took this class thinking it would be a class that I would just have to tolerate as a requirement. I was wrong.

  He taught an elective course called Managing in the Future that literally changed the way I think about everything. It was engaging all 3 hours every class, he welcomed diverse thoughts and ideas, and created an environment for genuine debate in a world where debate isn't always accepted. His class was the most transformational of the classes I took during the MBA period.
• Amirah Jackson
  Comprehensive Dentistry
  School of Dentistry
  Dr. Jackson is one of the most passionate teachers I've met at ULSD. I've worked with her many times in clinic and pre-clinical courses. Her dedication to the students and her desire to help us learn is at an exceptional level. She always has a positive attitude and wants us to learn from our mistakes, which truly makes me remember the lessons long after the appointment.
  
  Dr Jackson went above what is expected of her to make learning her material simple and easy for us. She stayed on the weekends, made so many extra videos for us, and gave us so much of her time.
  
  Dr. Jackson is amazing! She truly goes out of her way to make sure she actually teaches you things and you understand them! I have learned so much from her in pre-clinical courses as well as when she covers me in clinic. Truly the best of the best. If more professors were like her the world would be a better place.
  
  Dr. Jackson made a huge effort to help fill the gaps in our clinical knowledge. Our class was very behind on information in the lecture course that pertained to lab. Without her lab course or capacity to teach effectively we would've been completely lost. She's also cool, and I know all the students appreciate how approachable she is!

  Grade A Instructor
  
  It wasn't until this semester when I ended up in one of Professor Jetts courses that I felt seen through all of the madness COVID has brought to the undergraduate experience. His passion for the field of exercise science is the motivation students NEED to see. His teaching approach and transparency helped to reignite the academic drive COVID had almost lead me to give up.
  
  Professor Jett is the best teacher I've had so far in the program.

  I really appreciate your class. It was easily the most well put together distance education class I've ever taken. You communicated so well with me and I just want to thank you a lot for all your help!
  
  Audrey Kline teaches a very tough class to pass, but is a quality instructor covering all material and is always available. This is not an easy A class by any means, but her knowledge base in economics is amazing and the way she engages the class through canvassing questions and followup is spot on. Kudos!
  
  Dr. Kline was knowledgeable, helpful, and kind. I appreciated her approach to her class and her feedback was helpful. She is approachable but very intelligent. I am glad we had her for our first class in the OMBA program.

  College of Arts and Sciences
  I've experienced much turmoil this year in regard to ongoing health issues, and Professor Kloentrup has been very lenient and supportive.

Her kindness was so appreciated!
  
  I am so impressed with my instructor by the way she had communicated with me and the class. She always finds time to answer your questions in such an understanding way. She works with the class and give instructions that we all can follow. I would recommend Frau Kloentrup because she goes above and beyond in everything she does for her students.

  Dr. LaJoie is an effective instructor and uses his prior experiences to scaffold student learning. He provides a safe environment for students to discuss difficult topics.

  In my opinion, Dr. Metz is by far the most engaging professor. She cares more than anyone else, and even teaches us to a level that is unique. I can't say enough about her.
  
  Dr. Metz utilized group activities to actually reason through the material. Not many professors organize enough to do anything but read off slides. Dr. Metz goes above and beyond to make sure that we are prepared for our practice as clinicians.
  
  Dr. Metz is nothing short of AMAZING. Great lecturer and a genuine person. She's always prepared and truly cares about her students' success. She makes her lectures engaging so that our time spent in class is actually worthwhile. About 80% of the material is learned in class while she is teaching, which greatly decreases studying time. We need a Dr.Metz for every class!
  
  Not only was Dr. Metz by far the most effective professor I have had at UofL so far, she is also one of the most effective I've ever had. Concepts that would normally be very hard were made a lot easier because of her exceptional teaching ability. Along with this, she was incredibly caring and made the overall experience of class an enjoyable one.
  
  Dr. Metz truly goes above and beyond in her preparation and her method of teaching. She truly cares for her students and wants us to be the best we can be.
  
  She is one of the best professors at this university. She really cares about the material and it shows with how she teaches it. Her notes and lectures are so thought out it is insane!

  Something happened to me this summer where I couldn't take my full fall course load, and Dr. Mitchell organized my schedule to accommodate lesser hours for me.

  Dr. Mitchell is completely dedicated to the education and learning experience of her students. She does everything she can and then some to ensure that we learn and understand the material.

Using these skills, he helps foster camaraderie between students and students and instructors, as well as builds classroom confidence in students. I believe he will be an incredible lead faculty member.

He is always willing to spend endless time reviewing lecture topics, clinical topics, or simply checking in on your mental/emotional health. His dedication to our program and students does not go unnoticed and should be celebrated.
  
  Dr. Morgan has been one of the most influential and innovative professors who continues to excel in his expertise as a professor, advisor, and research preceptor. For instance, this year he has developed a computer-based software that enables audiology students to virtually practice their skills in audiometric testing by performing on a simulated patient case.
  
  Dr. Morgan is a professor for the Audiology program. Dr. Morgan goes above and beyond to help students in his class understand his material. Dr. Morgan is always willing to help with understanding in any class, even if he is not the professor. He goes above and beyond for his students and is by far the most helpful and caring professor in the entire Audiology program.

  I would like to nominate Dr. Morgan in the School of Medicine Audiology Department. Dr. Morgan is the most wonderful professor I have ever had. He has a way of teaching very difficult material in an easy to understand way. He also will always take time out of his day to help students with whatever they need. He always goes above and beyond!

• Michael Perlin

  College of Arts and Sciences
  Dr. Perlin is the best biology teacher I have had thus far. He is always ready to answer any questions a student may have and is not against repeating something in class if people are confused. He responds very fast by email and his dedication is demonstrated by him personally grading over 100 written exams, which I have seen no other professor except a humanities professor do.
• Sara Petruska

  Dr. Petruska does a great job creating an inclusive and comfortable learning environment for students. She serves as a great example of a physician who cares for her patients and makes the most of opportunities to teach students.

  Biology
  College of Arts and Sciences
  Dr. Pigg is an amazing teacher, instructor, and person. She goes above and beyond to ensure her students are understanding the material. She makes learning fun and keeps it interesting. She truly deserves teacher of the year. If Dr. Keith Lyell was still around I would have nominated them both.
  
  I have struggled this semester in this class but Prof. Pigg has always been open and inviting. She really understands these bio concepts and finds easier ways to break them down. Im in her office hours atleast once a week and she is always welcoming. Since going to her office hours, my latest exam grade has gone up 13 points! 10/10 would recommend.
  
  I had a class with Dr. Pigg for the first time in the Fall 2021 semester, and she inspired me to pursue ecology and to take classes with her this semester, and next semester, too! She has a wonderful way of teaching and she's super kind.
• Dennis Piontek
  Comprehensive Dentistry
  School of Dentistry
  Because of him I could finish one of the hardest requirements on time. He never minds to help you or to teach you at any time, any day or any where. And one of the biggest qualities he possesses he never criticizes you if you don't have an answer for his question. And that's how I learned a lot from him.
• Aleeta Powe

• Ryan Quinn
  Management and Entrepreneurship
  College of Business
  Dr. Quinn is one of the best instructors I've had in my long educational history. His classes barely feel like a formal space. Often times, we'd organically move to other topics he didn't plan and he'd still be able to tie them into the lesson of the day/week. Always willing to help me in or out of the classroom. He wants people to succeed.
  
  Professor Quinn was a phenomenal professor. I always looked forward to his PMBA class despite working a full day. He asked thought provoking questions and lead class discussions. He used a variety of well thought out case studies, video clip, quotes, current events, and more to get his points across. Leadership class was most notable and I apply my learnings daily.
  
  Dr. Quinn is the epitome of a caring, inspiring, and compassionate teacher. I am better equipped to take on the challenges in my organization today and in the years to come because of his guidance.
  
  His teaching inspires the students and faculty.
  
  Dr. Quinn's leadership and negotiation classes are practical. The content he covers and skills he teaches are crucial to anyone that will be in a leadership role. Dr. Quinn engages and sincerely cares about his students' growth. The University (and business community) is lucky to have his expertise and thought leadership.

  School of Dentistry
  He is the ultimate treasure of ULSD! He deserves to be recognized. What will we all do without Dr Richardson?
  
  Dr. Richardson has always been able to provide clear and helpful feedback in a patient and non-judgmental manner. As he explains things in a preclinical setting, he also gives the clinical correlation, which makes it so much easier to learn and understand. Based on his emails and interactions with students, he truly sees students as colleagues.
  
  Dr. Richardson is everything you can ask for in an instructor.
• Thomas Riedel
  Mathematics
  College of Arts and Sciences
  Dr. Riedel explains everything with great detail but in a way which is easy to understand, helps students by reviewing old quizzes, is incredibly patient with student questions, and encourages us to go to office hours. He's the first calculus professor I've ever had but he will be hard to beat.

  Dr. Ross was the professor who showed me my true passion for psychology and made me want to dig deeper and learn as much as I can. I took her for both Intro to Psychology as well as Lifespan Development. I would take every Psych class under her if I could. She is very understanding and very compassionate about teaching and cares about the students.
  
  Dr. Ross is such a light in these advanced psychology courses. Her personality is electrifying and keeps the packed lecture hall engaged the whole class. She provides space to have valuable open-class discussions and encourages all students to speak their opinion on the subject. She is extremely knowledgeable about the content and it shows in her delivery of the material.
  
  She's funny, refreshing, kind and yet witty when it's needed. She always has references of material to pop-culture and great stories to help the class memorize the important details. Dr. Ross is passionate about what she teaches and more-so most importantly passionate about teaching. She cares, she understands and most above of she hears people out.
  
  Ross always made sure to keep the lecture hall involved by using examples in class each of us could understood. She definitely made my first semester fun!
  
  Professor Ross made the class really fun and makes the content just come too life. That, and she is really nice and fun to watch.

She followed up on every question with detailed explanations, provided real-world examples, was flexible with her office hours (I'm west coast), and was so encouraging throughout the entire course.

  Dr. Running's commitment to his students is like no other I've seen in any other class. I've had a rough semester with a surgery and some family issues, but he was always understanding in these situations and very flexible. I'd ask him questions about material at any time of any day, and could always expect a quick response, even when I'd ask up to 30 questions in a single day.

  Sarah Schirmer demonstrated who a nurse is meant to be. She was kind, compassionate, and even when she wasn't sure how much of a difference she could make of a situation she did the best she could and gave herself. She was understanding of us students trying to get through school and reminded me of why I am in nursing school and the kind of person I want to be.

  Professor Skutnik is one of the best professors I had. He is an excellent professional and is clear about his passion for the class and lectures content which makes the class much more interesting and enjoyable to go to and learn.
  
  He is a great professor and deserves to be recognized for his hardwork and patience.

The class itself is very interesting, but she makes it so you never want to leave. Incredible person doing an incredible job.

  She showed kindness and encouragement to myself and other students. She gave challenging feedback on our work, but also talked us through it to try again. I evaluate my professors on their ability to teach the material well, how they handle students' struggling, and how they treat us as people. She did all those things incredibly well.
  
  Dr. Storer is one of the most supportive and caring professors I have ever had. She helps her students excel and truly wants her students to learn and grow.

  Dr. Turner was very resourceful. I was so frustrated and struggled with her class at the beginning, and even some at the end but she still met with me and helped me understand the process. Maternal newborn was one of the hardest subjects for me and it became my best grade and now I'm going to be starting in the NICU this summer.
  
  I have learned so much from Dr. Turner this semester. She has given me the confidence that if I needed to help delivery a baby right now, I could do it. Her passion and knowledge for the subject material really helped me grow. I was incredibly prepared for Maternal Newborn ATI because of her.
• Lynn Usher
  Economics
  College of Business
  Best professor I've had at UofL. Her lectures make economics sound fun and she motivates us to always do our best.
  
  She is amazing. She teaches her subject with passion and purpose. She truly wants students to understand material and its use in everyday life. I appreciate her very much. She is the sweetest and most helpful professor I have had yet!
  
  She is really passionate about teaching and it shows every lecture. She deeply cares about her student's success in and outside of the classroom. She is one of the best professors here by far.
  
  Fun, energetic teacher. Shows she cares for her students and is very helpful.
  
  She rocks. Opened my eyes up to a passion I didn't realize I had. Loved every single lecture.
  
  Professor Usher deeply cares for her student's success and truly wants them to succeed. She's very engaging in her lectures and makes her expectations for the class well known. She prepares you for each exam and tells you exactly what you need to know. You can ask her any question and she'll be delighted to answer it.
  
  Mrs. Usher is a hard but strict professor. Her passion is what makes the class engaging. She really loves economics. She is a great teacher to take as a freshman even though I am a junior because she sets the tone of needing to study to pass your classes which will help student prepare for their future classes.
  
  She's a cool teacher !
  
  Professor Usher is my favorite professor and I am actually interested in economics thanks to her. She gives good explanations and I love the examples she uses from her personal experience, it is very entertaining. She is encouraging and wants you to succeed. Her class can be a challenge and it made me work hard, but it was worth it.
  
  Professor Lynn Usher is by far the best teacher I have ever had. She is engaging, down to earth, and expects you to work hard and earn your grade. I barely retained anything from my other COB classes, but microeconomics is something that I will use forever, purely due to the way that Prof. Usher teaches.
  
  Fantastic teacher! She has a great personality and helps students understand economics.
  
  Mrs. Usher made economics an enjoyable class for me. At the beginning of the semester, I was extremely nervous about taking economics but her approach and charisma about teaching rubbed off on me and in the end, I wanted to come to every class no matter the weather or how tired I was.
  
  Lynn Usher is without a doubt the best Professor I have EVER had. She brings a great energy to class that no other professor has shown me at UofL. The fact that UofL C.o.B. is firing her is disgusting. They just lost one of their best professors in the school who genuinely loves teaching. Our Loss.
  
  She is an amazing professor and makes class so fun. Always has a story to tell to help us remember what graphs and terms mean. She wants us to learn. I recommended her to all of my friends to take this upcoming year.
  
  Not always the most entertaining but she has her own funny sense of humor that she expresses throughout her lectures. She likes to challenge her students and is very effective with her lectures and powerpoints.
  
  Professor Usher showed that she genuinely cares about each and every one of her students. She did not want to see any student fail and therefore gave students every possible opportunity that they would need to succeed in her class.

  Prof. Wagner truly tries to make class fun & make it a place we look forward to being. She always checked on me & we had so many conversations after class. She is such a sweet human who genuinely cares about her students. She doesn't give busy work; instead she takes each class & carefully explains one topic so we can all understand clearly. I am going to miss her so much.
  
  Dr. Wagner is the epitome of what a professor SHOULD be. She is approachable. She ensures that her students understand the material, and she presents her lectures with clarity. Her quizzes and assignments are very straightforward, unlike several professors I've had in the past who try to trick you with something ambiguous. She earns my vote for Faculty Favorite.
