for the 2021-2022 Academic Year

  •  

    Meiling Cheng, Dramatic Arts
    General Education Seminar 111g, Seminar in the Arts: China Goes Un-Pop–Contemporary Chinese Performance

    I was very hesitant to take this GESM because I knew nothing about Chinese art and did not want to be the one kid in the class that was lost.  But I am glad that I took it because this was very eye opening and got me to think more critically about the meaning of art.  Thank you for being such a great professor.

     

    Brighde Mullins, English
    General Education Seminar 110g, Seminar in the Arts: Poems, Plays and Politics

    Professor Mullins provided me with key insights into topics I had previously not contemplated.  Whether it was understanding the Vietnamese perspective on the Vietnam war or the first African American poet, I gained new information that inspired me to look into topics I had never considered before.

     

    Jillian Pierson, Annenberg
    Communication 324mw, Intercultural Communication

    I really enjoyed Professor Pierson’s course.  It was very inclusive of all cultures and discussed current social issues in relation to how we interact with others.  This made me a better human and scholar. 

     

    Brijesh Pinto, Economics
    Economics 203g, Principles of Microeconomics

    Professor Pinto was one of the best professors I had at USC.  He was exceptionally organized, always had a great attitude in class, and consistently clear in his lectures and expectations for the course. Thank you for all the effort you put in.  It most certainly does not go unnoticed nor unappreciated!

     

    Gioia Polidori, Human Biology
    Human Biology 202g, Nutrition for Life

    Professor Polidori taught me how my nutrition choices directly affect my body and health in various ways. I became more self–aware thanks to her.

     

    Jason Webb, Comparative Literature
    Comparative Literature 264gp, Asian Aesthetic and Literature Traditions

    I really loved this class!  It opened my eyes to a subject I had never thought about before.  It was really interesting to learn about Japanese history and analyze literature from that period through a Heian perspective.  Professor Webb’s passion for the topic made the class really engaging!

     

  •  

    Rochelle Gold, Dornsife Writing Program
    Writing 150, Writing and Critical Reasoning – Thematic Approaches: Issues in Sustainability

    Professor Gold was a great teacher who was always available and willing to help her students develop their own voice through writing.  I always felt engaged in the class and motivated to participate, especially with the learning environment that she set up.

     

    Scott Smith, Dornsife Writing Program
    Writing 340, Advanced Writing for Visual and Performing Arts

    Professor Smith really made me think about writing and about my work as an artist completely differently.  I am so glad I had the opportunity to slow down and really think through my ideas thanks to Professor Smith’s creation of a powerful space for people to share ideas.

     

    Elisabeth Weiss, Viterbi Writing Program
    Writing 340, Advanced Writing Communication for Engineers

    Writing has always been my weakest skill because English was my second language. However, Professor Weiss assisted me whenever I needed it so that I could improve my writing skills.  This was the most important class I’ve ever taken in my life. Thank you!

  •  

    Brian Haas, Philosophy
    Philosophy 258g, Probability and Rational Choice

    Brian was the best TA I’ve had at USC!  He was always willing to meet for help on assignments by clearly explaining everything and gave very constructive feedback. 

     

    Ellen Herschel, Psychology
    Psychology 215Lg, Music, Mind and the Brain

    Ellen was the best!  She gave me a deeper appreciation for music and its influence in my life. I was able learn a lot about the intersectionality of neuroscience, music and psychology.  I really enjoyed being in Ellen’s lab.

     

    Hyejoo Lee, East Asian Languages and Cultures
    East Asian Languages and Cultures 333gp, Introduction to Korean Film

    You were a great TA! I really enjoyed your lectures and input as well as the discussions you led.  The information taught and discussed supported the information I learned in the lecture and helped me understand and enjoy the films more deeply. Thank you for everything Hyejoo!

     

    Faith McFadden, Classics
    Classics 280gp, Classical Mythology in Art and Literature

    Faith was a really helpful and engaging teacher who is super passionate about classics.   I really appreciated that she added new veins of analysis to the texts we were reading and didn’t just reiterate what was said in class.
