Professor Sawyer is Awesome!
I like this story about this professor - it seems he really cares. While I never had him for a teacher, I did have another teacher that was amazing. I happened to also see Professor Sawyer in this video clip. I had Professor Sawyer for Botany and he made the class delightful! He was witty, smart, and he sure knew his plants! I even won a plant once in class. Thank you Professor Sawyer - miss you!
-Love,
