Ron Whiteman was my research psychology professor (PSY 5020) last semester.

When I put his name on Google search, this Columbia link below popped out first. http://childpsych.columbia.edu/brainimaging/CV_Whiteman.html

Ron Whiteman was a graduate of Gordon College in 1999 with a BA in Psychology and a double major in Movement Science. From the link, it tells me that his research interests lie in cognitive control, emotion regulation and understanding how these functions help mediate particular social behaviors and interactions. More specifically, he interested in studying the neural mechanisms underlying empathy, compassion and forgiveness. He published 4 journal articles in regard to his cognitive psychology field and he is also highly rated in Baruch.

Professor Rong Huang is currently my Cost Accounting professor at Baruch College. According to the site ‘Rate My Professors’, she has mixed reviews some good and some bad, partly because our grades depend on that of the exams given by the Accounting Department.

Professor Rong Huang got much of her education from China, obtaining her Bachelors degrees in Economics and Computer Science at Dong Hua University (1999), and from the United States, her Masters and PHD in Economics as well as Accountancy at Mississippi State University and University of Texas (2001-2006).

Her areas of expertise are executive compensation, business valuation, as well as cost behavior (according to Zicklin’s website). She also have achieved several publications in ‘The Accounting Review’, ‘Review of Accounting Studies’, and ‘Journal of Accounting Research’ (Zicklin website).

I am a new student at Baruch, so I have not quite gotten to know my new professors backgrounds just yet. However at the college I attended before this, I had a biology professor who was known to be very credible. Professor Merit had done research at for various labs and has published work in different books.

Prof. Gloria Thomas is my BUS 4444H class’s professor, and I have enjoyed the class so much. After I researched on Baruch College’s website, I found out Prof. Thomas’s expertise is in relationship marketing. She holds a PhD in marketing from Temple University. She not only published a book in information and behavior, but also published articles in Journal of Marketing and Journal of Consumer Research. These articles focuses on communication and interaction between people, which are indispensable elements in marketing.

According to Professor Levy’s, Baruch page, she is an expert in Financial Accounting, Capital Structure, Information Asymmetry, Financial Reporting,and Earnings Management. Her LinkedIn profile shows that she studied in Tel Aviv University for her undergraduate degree and then went to Columbia business school for her PHD.

According to her biography on the English Department’s website, Professor Smith is a voice of authority in the fields of composition, environmental literature, and early literature. She has produced a number of publications. For example, in terms of environmental literature, she published an essay titled “Giving Voice to the Novice Authority: Silent Spring in the Composition Classroom” in the anthology Teaching North American Environmental Literature. This is her Twitter. Her biography indicates that she is writing another book as well.

I remember professor Lennox pretty well. From what i know about this guy, his area of expertise is English (writing well made essays) and Mostly Philosophy. He would go on for hours explaining the topic of what philosophy Plato, Socrates, Alfred Whitehead and other well known philosophers would represent. He knows how to tell a joke to keep the class interested in the topic and would explain the topic to the best of his knowledge. I couldn’t help but give him a high sense of respect for multiple reasons (even though some of the topics were difficult for me to follow).

As an Economics major I always had to choose the right classes for my interest and career. I am curious about federal economics which includes monetary systems. Last semester I took my class with professor Parul Jain in Eco 4201 (monetary and banking.) Professor Jain served as  Director in US Credit Strategy at Standard & Poor’s. Her expertise is mostly on federal policies about monetary policy and fiscal budget. Her credentials made me take her class as I always wanted to focus on monetary economics. She was also Chief Economist of Nomura Securities, which also gives her the vast idea of international perspective of economics. Her information can also be found here. As an Economics student I find her very interesting and resourceful.

Even more specifically, he is an expert in the mold Aspergillus because he has written an article on the physiology of the mold Aspergillus. He is highly rated at Baruch, he is a chair in the medical school recommendation committee and is responsible for developing upper level courses in the department.

My psychology professor from almost two years ago has inspired me to become the person I am today. Most of the liberal ideas that shape me have resulted from her lifting a dark sheet of ignorance from above my head. Professor Friedman specializes in environmental issues: particularly how they affect our behaviors, and similarly how our behaviors have negatively affected the environment. Aside from that, Professor Friedman also specializes in the Psychology of Sleep, and she has written numerous articles about the impact on human function and behavior from lack of sleep.
Professor Friedman is also the “Baruch College Ombuds” since fall 2002: she helps faculty staff and students within the Baruch community voice their complaints.

So… despite it being so early into the semester, I can already sense that my management professor is easily an expert on the field he’s teaching to us, which is human resource management.  I can say this because the guy can (and does) just sit there on end, talking about the topic off the top of his head, giving us all the pertinent notes and details we need to learn the subject and prepare ourselves for the exams.  No books necessary.  The first day, he gave us a detailed verbal autobiography about how he’s been a lawyer for over forty decades, and has been in the business/law fields of Equal Employment Opportunities and labor union disputes for all those years.  It is in these ways, through first-hand experience as an advanced player in the topics at hand, that I can confidently surmise that I am acquiring my knowledge of human resource management from a credible and exceptionally able source.
