what students say

  • I can't say enough about Andy. As a first-year who had never taken a class with him, I walked into his office and told him that I liked math and politics, and that I had been told he was the person to talk to. An hour later, I walked out of his office with a stack of books and a number articles in my inbox. For me, that epitomizes Andy's willingness to go the extra mile for students -- one that I've seen again and again as a student in his classes, an advisee, and a TA. Andy's a great teacher with an unwavering commitment to undergraduate research. He holds students to high standards, but gives them the tools and support they need to succeed. More than anyone else at Knox, he has helped me shape both my education here and my career plans after graduation.
