The Square Wheel Award
This award describes the professor whose teaching style is the most unique.

Winner: Dr. Kuznetsov

This award is for the professor with the “best” handwriting in the department- if you need the Rosetta stone to decipher the blackboard…

The Golden Whip Award
This award is for the professor who allows maximum learning through copious amounts of fun homework, then grades with a liquid cooled pen.

The Crankshaft Award
This award is for the professor whose class atmosphere most resembles that of an internal combustion engine…hot, explosive, and lots of friction.
