Favorite Clemson Professors?


Jul 8, 2020, 11:46 PM

Two other posts about professors got me thinking about some of the really good teachers I had at Clemson.

My favorite all time was Dr. Louis Henry. He loved southern literature and made it easy to enjoy class. He was one of those professors who genuinely cared about his students. After changing my major from Chem to English at the end of my soph year I took him every chance I got.

Who are some favorites for you?

Hands down the best professor at Clemson was Frosty Bauknight. You never wanted to miss his class because he was so entertaining, you learned a lot and he gave three pop quizzes during the semester that counted like a test.

I must say I liked Nowak's statics class so much that I signed up for it again the following semester. I took a W the first time and he told me maybe I wasn't cut out to be an engineer if I needed to withdraw from a statics class. I wasn't going to let him beat me and I wound up with the highest grade in his class the following semester and went on to become an engineer. Back in the day, he had no scheduled exams, all pop tests, so you had to come to every class prepared to take a test.

I remember being amazed that he would walk in the class and lecture for the entire time without looking at any notes. He wrote the textbook, so I guess it shouldn’t have been surprising. It was so impressive to me as a freshman though.

He was a great guy who loved teaching and cared about his students. He always made it a point to learn everyone’s name and something about them.

He passed away about 10 years ago.

Dr Dave Woodard, POSC


Jul 9, 2020, 8:29 AM

Dr Woodard was the hardest but the best prof in the dept. He was voted Master Teacher one of the years I was there. Every class, every semester, began with the same quotes - "Life's hard. Woodard's hard. Life won't grade you on a curve. Woodard won't grade you on a curve."

If you got an A in his class - and I'm proud to say I got A's in his classes! - you EARNED an A grade. You worked harder in his classes, but you also learned more in his classes. He retired last year, I think, but he was a huge credit to the university and to all of us who had the privilege to sit in his classes.

Mary Ann Prater taught Accounting, and I still recall her stories of creative employee fraud. Labor economics (Dr. Elliot? - went on to direct the professional development center) - he had the best "Mr. Haney" impersonation from Green Acres. I still use logistics I learned from Col. Wheeler (?) and remember his USAF manifest documents from a shipment that he taped together, which reached from one side of the classroom to the other.

You are correct for economics....Dr. Ralf Elliot. He would do crazy things to make the dismal science of Economics interesting. He was great and after having him I worked for him in the Professional Development Dept. Ran into him several years after graduation at a conference where we were on a fishing boat with 60 people and 35 were puking. With his usual humor he said " Mark, it's one vicious cycle...we puke in the barf bags and the bags go over the side of the boat, the fish eat the puke, we catch and eat the fish, and it repeats..LOL!

For logistics It was Col. Tom Mertens who you may be thinking of. He was great also.

Kenzo Seo for first 2 calculus classes back in early 80's. He was very short, so we would put the erasers on top of the chalk board everyday. He was also a great ping pong player.

She convinced me that I was not doing that bad and I should stick with it and that my grades were above average for the class. I stayed, I failed I went to summer school at Spartanburg Methodist. Not a big fan of the Bishops.

my mistake I had Ma for CH102. I had George Heung (sp?) for CH101. The man did not speak english...I struggled to understand anything he said. He may have been a brilliant chemist, but the communication was a real problem for me in that class. I remember him giving a lector one day and he kept using the term minimole. Finally someone raised their hand and asked are you saying minimole or millimole? He said yes minimole and proceeded to write out millimole on the overhead projector. I looked over at the my buddy who was sitting beside me and said man we are screwed in this class.I passed CH101, but i didnt have a real good chemistry foundation going into CH102.

I had an engineering services class back around 82. Shop equipment, early CNC... Don't recall the teacher's real name, but he told us to call him "Reb" (short for Rebel).
He told us "A Yankee is a person that lives north of Walhalla or south of Pelzer."
I'll never forget it. Good guy.

I don't recall his last name because Dr.___? told us just to call him Fred. He was a tall sandy haired man and taught a statistics class, probably Math 301. He made fun of the way other professors would end an explanation with "clearly..." when a concept obviously wasn't at all clear to most students. He kept the class entertaining but made sure we learned the material. I really enjoyed that class and did well in it. I can't say the same for my other statistics-based classes.

As soon as I walked away from the computer I remember Dr. Fred Morgan's full name. :)
