All student comments from a 83-person class on creativity, in the random order that I received them:
- “Artie inspires.”
- “Artie was a great instructor! He was so inspirational and I learned a great deal from him. He encouraged students to think for themselves rather than repeat back material like most instructors. I would gladly take another course offered by Artie.”
- “He is by far the worst teacher i have had at ohio state, and probably one of the worst people i’ve met. I have never met such a self centered individual who thinks there is only one way to do things and it’s his way. I took the class when Michael Camp recommended it and i had high expectations going into it, and they were totally unmet. The subject matter of the course was uncalled for. I do not care what Artie’s sex life is, and i could care less that he doesn’t have a TV, or that his kids should never be better than anyone else, because that seems to send one of the worst messages possible, settle for less…way to go artie. I also happen to think that it is entirely wrong for his wife to grade our papers, and he said it himself that she did. He’s the most off the wall person I’ve met, and i wasted a lot of time in his class.”
- “Artie has definitely been the best teacher I have had since being at Ohio State. You can tell he is passionate about what he’s doing. He is the most charismatic speaker with the quickest wit I have seen in a professor. Every class was a stand up routine. To be honest, it’s been the only class that I have looked forward to going to. “
- “Artie is an amazing professor and brings out the creative side in a person through different life experiences hes described, the journal writings and much more! Thank you, Artie.”
- “Artie, The office hours are a really awesome opportunity for students. Thanks for taking the extra time to come to campus and talk.”
- “A lot of fun and makes you think!”
- “Best class ever!”
- “Very excellent class and instructor”
- “Hands down the best class I’ve ever had with the best professor I’ve ever had. As a graduating senior, there was no better way to end my career at OSU. Artie provided us with discussion topics on real world issues and personal development. He can be compared to no other person I’ve ever met; simply an inspiring individual. I’d like to thank him for providing me with my favorite classroom experiences.”
- “He is one of the best instructors I have ever had here at Ohio State. Probably my most favorite class that I have taken here at OSU.”
- “Thanks Artie, really enjoyed the class. I’ll miss it.”
- “Best professor I’ve ever had. Learned a great deal. He cares more about students ten times more than any other instructor I’ve ever had.”
- “One of the best I have ever had in my four years at Ohio State. Probably top 3. Definitely top 5.”
- “This teacher is one of the best I have ever had. He really makes class exciting for 2 hours.”
- “This was by far the most enlightening class I have take in my time here at Ohio State. Professor Isaac fostered an environment that taught me about myself as well as about being creative and innovative in all aspects of life. I feel that this course was not only beneficial for me professionally but also personally. I would highly recommend this class to any student at Ohio State even if it is taken purely as an elective.”
- “This was one of my top three classes, mostly because Professor Isaac was so interesting and I would recommend it to anyone.”
- “Artie has been one of the most influential instructors in my college education. He is a wise man and has methods of teaching that really appeal to real life issues and how to be successful in life and business.”
