We all have our favorite professors. Maybe it was that great professor first quarter that changes your mind about that boring subject. Or maybe it was that professor that was so dynamic and engaging in class that you couldn't help but get excited when you were in class. I've had several professors that have really been incredible. One of those is my current professor for an elective class -- Managerial Model Building. Professor Herman is doing great work in the classroom, as well as outside. She was just honored with the 2009 Health Literacy Award for her work with the Head Start Program.
I think this is a great example of the type of faculty at Anderson. They are experts in their fields and are really engaged with the students. But they also make a significant impact in the real world. Model Building has been a great class for me and has so many applications across industries and functions. I've already used linear programming several times for in-class work, and I am sure that I will use it this summer in my internship. I think it's a very valuable class to take while at Anderson, and Prof. Herman is a great teacher, who also gives back to the community.
