id nominate shane bonetti for making me actually look forward to lectures especially in a subject i dont care about

Ditto. He's an unbelievably good lecturer as his lectures were not only interesting, but funny as well. In fact, words cannot describe how good he was.

I appreciate him more now that i've seen the rest of them (If he lectured in second year economics i would do it) :(

CGW (Chris Given-Wilson) - he's awesome. Check out the beard! He knows lots of stuff about medieval history.


What a happy coincidence, then, that he is a Professor of Mediaeval History.

Prof. Given-Wilson is indeed a great man, and a fantastic lecturer. His inaugural lecture as Professor was dazzling and comprehensible, and I'm not a mediaeval historian (not quite, anyway).

Dr Bruce Sinclair,
The one thing that I always remember about Bruce is that time he threw liquid nitrogen all over the floor, desk and himself just to show us physics really is fun.
Its never a dull day when being taught by Bruce

[Prophet Tenebrae]

Stuff like that happens in medieval history too... just with facts, not liquid nitrogen.

Dr John Desmond (Management, I can't really give a specific reason, he just gives the impression of being legendary, maybe it's his Irishness. Someone help me out here.

Also another vote for Bonetti, for lectures that I won't soon forget.

I would have to nominate Prof. De Groot of Modern History, his lectures (and his books) are absolutely amazing.

I also agree that Gerry De Groot is a great lecturer.

What? I've always found him tear-inducingly dull.

I'd like to put forward the name of Prof. Woollins of the school of Chemistry - for his performance involving potassium, a large basin of water, his trousers and very nearly a large fire.

Barbara Murray from English for all round awesome-ness...she is so appraochable and has absolute integrity and compassion, something sadly lacking in many academics today, I fear.

Tom Jones from English for daring to be an overt Socialist in this neo-nazi town, and Parry....well, what can I say? from calling our lecture theatre a pit of suffering, to randomly getting trolleyed with students to always being in the minority, to actually being terrified of me...he IS a legend.

Bentley deserves more credit than he gets. Okay he is the hardest marker I have ever encountered, but his breadth of knowledge is astounding and he always manages to come out with some gem of an anecdote that is both amusing and interesting.
An incredible atmosphere when hearing about the legendry norman gash in his old reading room in the hist. dept. Old Mickey B has got to be one of the most tip top lecturers in the university.

[Miz Manda]

Bentley is definitely much underrated. His anecdotes are the absolute best, his portrayal of Chips Channon and Stanley Baldwin (complete with impressions) were classic. Definitely some of the best lectures of the first year mod. history course. Deserves many, many points for making history lectures interesting- something that not all of our lecturers can always manage.

Jens Timmerman for the most umming and erring.

[randypanthegoatboy]

Ian Halls lectures are quite interesting in IR. He has the nack of bieng very clear for hard of thinking people, like me and witty at the same time.

All the combinations to make a spicy cinnamon lecture pie pie
