Dr. Prowse, anthropology. She teaches 2FF3 and 3FA3 (skeletal and forensics). She is a great prof with a lot of energy, her teaching just makes sense, she is able to explain things that are easy to remember and quick to learn.

Chris McLean is the greatest of all time. He was my prof for two first year math courses and no other prof since then has become my favorite.

just my opinion..
Best!
Dr. Capretta (Chemistry)--- very good at explaining concepts and also very very humorous !
Dr. Ullal (Neuroscience)--- the most passionate!
Dr. Massa (Physics)
Dr. Balasubramaniam (Neuroscience/Kinesiology)
Dr. Childs (stats)
Dr. Dick Day (Psychology)--- his lecture was excellent, but testing style was honestly the most stupid and pointless tho

Worst!
Dr. Ostrovich (Psychology)
Dr. Lichty (Virology)
Dr. Harrison (Chemistry)
Dr. Zhorov (Biochemistry)-- super boring!!

Lovric is the best math prof.

Childs is probably the worst.

Sandra Colavecchia. Her class is easy-peasy, and she's a great lecturer. She looks meek, but I'll never forget the day she called out some assholes who were talking during her lecture and shamed them into leaving. She's definitely a HBIC.

David Young, Dick Day, Jennifer Ostovich and Sally McKay are a few other really great profs I've had. Say what you want about Ostovich, she's definitely earned the right to be cocky.

Dr. L. Samuels

I have taken a couple classes with her. She likes to rip through her lectures, her tests are very fair and easy. If she has essay questions on her test she gives them to you before hand.
If she has a night class you'll most likely be done early every night.

Childs is by far the best prof I ever had, with McLean as a second and Okon as a third. Childs explains everything so clearly, that I don't feel hopeless after a lecture and he's pretty funny too! McLean is really energetic, so falling asleep in class is hard. He shows a lot of examples in class, which really helps me learn. Okon has a great, sarcastic sense of humour, that makes me want to go to class and listen to what he says. I'm in third year now, but all my best profs were from first year

McLean as in Math & Stats? All his math problems are about zombie apocalypses and plane crashes. He certainly can keep a first-year kid's attention, but there's a lot of profs in the math department that are even better than him. You can't imagine how bad some other departments' profs suck compared to the math department.

Maybe Childs is better, but I can't think of anyone besides him. Can't say that either Contreras or Gobardo are better.
