Dr Suzanne Mcwhorter Passing

[Danish42]

I would like to hear your comments about this talented and vivacious professor who just recently passed away.

I had two classes with her in the late 70's and enjoyed her lectures. However at the time I did not realize that a learning disability that I have was effecting my concentration and this lead to many academic struggles.

One day I decided to approach Dr. McWhorter during her office hours to see how I could do better on my tests. When I walk in she was painting her nails next to a larger Greek statue. I asked her how I could I do better in taking her tests, will she blew her top and she told me to get the heck out of there. I had a lot of bitterness toward her after this till I graduated in 1981. Fortunately there were other professors that did take the time to explain how to improve my test scores.

May she rest in peace.

Ole Suzanne was hard nosed. I accidentially got bad counseling and ended up in her class with 'no prior business courses.' I never did understand her tests, and got an F for the course (she would not let me drop). But, I must say that was the greatest class I ever took as far as learning something. Sadly, I was never able to show my knowledge on her tests. I always really liked the old gal...she was precursor to the term 'ball buster.'
