Waiting for chunkles thoughts...

I learned the most from these dudes:
Charney <==  The Rick Steves of architectural history.
Knox (for studio)  <== hated by many,  :love: by me
McNamara <==really challenged me (him=practical, me=head in the clouds).  He introduced me to Scarpa :swoon:

also had a prof in CVUT who taught me the clone stamp tool in photoshop.  I am very grateful for that.

Never had Knox for studio. Heard some horror stories though. Liked him well enough in computing.

My favorites-

Hoag- Most thought he was crazy. Thought his seminar was great. Studio was pretty good.
Howe- Awesome professor.
Torgier- Badass. Pure badass.

Female: Yasmin Patel (would record channel 8 and touch myself to it)

Male: Chris akelroy (dear god.)

I'm about 99% sure they are boning.

I'm 100% sure.

Yep, I wasn't sure if I was remembering correctly. I was at a house party about a year ago, getting drunk and wasted and stuff, and the next thing I know, god damn Patel and Akelroy walk in. rough ridin' sweet. They separate for some reason, but Akelroy comes over to a group of us, points at Dr. Patel and says (all britishy), "See the girl over there? I'm banging her."

Patel was my chem professor at the time. Akelroy subbed for her at times. Bricks were shat. Also gave me a weird boner.

Two things:

His name is Aakeroy (second a has an umlaut) and he's actually Swedish.  He and Patel live together.

Agreed.  What an amazingly British man that Brit is.

If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

"I'd like to have lunch with each and every one of you over the course of the semester."

Pretty sure nobody in my History of Baseball class ever went to lunch with him.

Any body here have Forest Miller for Calc 3? Had to talk to him in his office once, smelled like booze and was as weird as you'd think.

also, who writes on a chalk board and follows it with an eraser while writing?

Loved this guy.  His tests were the exact same as years past except a few different numbers.  Easy A.

I think he stopped teaching in the last couple years, but I always see him in the Union coffee shop. It was intimidating as hell taking notes in that class since it was my first semester until I realized that the class was super easy.

Safe to assume there are no Hotel and Restaurant Management Major's on here?

I'm pretty sure all of the Professors I have had are insane.

Tom Roberts taught the worst class I've ever taken, but he's not really a professor, so I don't know if that counts.

That professional development crap? (for engineers)

PPD (DEN325). Worst class on earth.

Yea that class was pointless for someone born with common sense.  Great for the nerds who thought khaki pants, white socks, and brown shoes were acceptable to wear in a job interview.

I have never worn a suit to an interview and gotten a number of offers.  Its an interview not a fashion show.  That is what I tell any candidate I interview at my current job, nobody cares if you own a suit.

They may not care, but for many larger companies this is not true.  Interview for a position at a large company wearing khaki's and a polo, and lets see if they pick you over the guy with the exact same credentials who wore a suit and tie.  

Also, congrats that your company looks past all that.  It's not the common.  If this were a perfect world, people could walk into an interview showing all their tats and piercings without the interviewer using it as judging criteria.

You will never get a job that you aren't qualified for by looking great, but could easily lose the opportunity for one you are qualified for by being under dressed.  Every man should own a suit irregardless of the need for one in an interview.

I love wearing suits. Every day at my office is like casual Friday, so I think it would be awesome if we had formal Fridays instead.

I feel the same way.  Love suiting up.  I also look damn good in a suit.

Yeah, people who look good in suits usually love wearing them.  I can see why people who don't look good in suits don't like to wear them.

Least Fav: Sabine Turnley
lol, someone can't pass tests.
also David Lehmans class was probably the easiest of all time.

This. I know several people who have complained about Sabine but I didn't mind her class because I'm not a dumbass when it comes to taking tests. Pretty sure I got a 100% in her class after extra credit. Also, Lehman's class could very well be the easiest class at K-State.

agreed on everything here. (except i won't get above a 100% in Sabine's class, but definitely an A, it's her mangt 595 class btw. i heard she teaches 420 too?)

Not a hotel and restaurant management major, but took a class taught by Dr. B. You haven't lived until you've taken a college class about alcohol, taught by a wino...
