Everyone has their favorite profs… some MBA students were asked who their favorite Profs were in the US. The list is interesting!
It tells a lot about what works in teaching and what does not. From the responses, the following things worked:
– Humor
– High standards of work
– Real Life Examples and relevant material
– Interesting class that makes learning easy
– Mentorship and contact of the Prof with the Students after Degree is over.
What other than the above do you think works?
Here are top three:
Anne Anderson; Lehigh University

Mike Barry; Boston College

Allison Burdette; Emory University
