I graduated in 2002 but here's some that still might be around and have already been discussed:
Fred Choobineh (MIS)
Probably the coolest prof
Larry Curtis (Business Law)
Loved his class, made everything simple and easy to understand.
Jeffrey Kaufmann (Management)
If you are a business major you may get him for the mandatory Managment class I think it is you have take your final semester. He is AWESOME! No exams, it's all class participation and group case studies. He had a optional final if you were doing bad and needed a boost to your grade but if you put in the time and didn't skip out on class there is no reason you couldn't get an A or B in his class. He actually taught and didn't go through the motions like some profs do and he kept to his word on his office hours which some don't do either. Have to say he actually tops Fred as far as a prof you will actually like and learn a lot at the same time while enjoying his class.
As for other, Dave Stuart was not bad for Music 102, just don't be a JA in his class and get him mad because then you will feel the wrath! I heard they canceled Music 104 which was the History of Rock and Roll. He was awesome in that class, much more laid back and that class was a blast to go to.
As for a couple prof I would avoid like the plague:
Anada Weerasinghe (Math)
The ONLY class I have EVER failed at any level. His teaching methods suck, you can't understand him, and even the TA's for his classes will tell you his ways suck and will show you better ways to do the material.
Mr. and Mrs. Tomlinson (Computer Science). According to the Computer Science faculty page it says they are both retired but both were terrible in lecture and didn't prepare you well for tests and assignments. I had Mr. T for 2 classes, her for 1. One of Mr. T's classes, the class average on 1 exam was under 50% which really PO'd everyone. He gave us some big lecture about it and someone piped up about how just maybe if the whole class bombed the test either it was not a good exam or maybe he should have lectured on the material better to prepare us.
Virginia Blackburn (Management)
Had her during the 9/11 semester and she basically rambled on about that the rest of the semester. A lecture hall of around 300 people was down to maybe 50 tops by the end of the semester because you didn't get squat out of her lectures. Read the book and attend the lecture before each exam and you basically got all you needed to take the exams.
I'll probably think of more for both lists later as they come to me...
