SFU Professor Power Rankings (Week 3, Summer 2013)

1. Dr. Winston Hubbard | Mathematics

Hubbard’s been rolling this semester with a couple of stellar back-to-back lectures to kick off the summer. Look for him to continue his perfect semester when he takes on Linear Algebra in week 3.

Last Week: 1

 

2. Dr. Claude Brooks | Geography

After some opening week jitters, Brooks has found his form and is teaching with total confidence and poise. Brooks currently holds a 4.7 score on Rate my Professors, a number that is only going up.

Last Week: 3

 

3. Dr. Sonia Bowers |History

Bowers struggled early on with her PowerPoint slides but quickly managed to turn the lecture around and by the third hour was a truly dominant force of Weimar Republic knowledge.

Last Week: 2

 

4. Dr. Pat Mills | English

Despite some inconsistent TAing over the past few years, Mills is having a solid semester and is backed up by a great supporting cast. His class is definitely not to be dropped.

Last Week: 8

 

5. Dr. Miranda Kelley | Chemistry

Kelley has been surprisingly strong in his first two lectures after she closed out last semester with an error-filled final exam. Expect her performance to dip though as midterm season approaches.

Last Week: 5

 

6. Dr. Stanley Ortega | Criminology

Although Ortega’s lectures have been hit-or-miss so far, his reading selections have been great and he’s currently holding some of the best office hours of his career. If you’re looking for some extra credits this semester, his class could be worth a late add.

Last Week: 4

 

7. Dr. Juan Garrett | Computing Science

Garrett finally got his chance to teach an upper division course this semester and has not wasted the opportunity. His whopping 95.6% student attendance in week 2 speaks for itself.

Last Week: 6

 

8. Dr. May Hill | Kinesiology

After 3 semesters off dealing with an undisclosed maternity leave, Hill has shaken off the rust and is now clawing her way back to being one of the university’s premiere professors.

Last Week: 35
