Dr. Dawkins was my calc. 2, 3, and differential equations professor when I went to school for engineering.

He's an absolute treasure as far as teaching goes, and I don't think I'd be as successful and skillful at math had I not had him as my instructor. He's insanely energetic and positive in the classroom, and he's basically perfected the art of getting "math" into other people's heads.

Never thought I would see another Lamar grad here.

Same here. How many of us are there?

I've never been to Lamar, so maybe you know something I don't, but there's no sense in which Lamar is a small school. It's probably several times the average US university.

My computer science cohort was very small. That’s why I don’t expect to see many Lamar folks on these types of forums.

It was small from about 1986 till the early 2000's. During that time they had the only undefeated football team in the Southland conference. Population shot up over the last two decades when they started losing games.

There are dozens of us! I took Cal 2 and 3 from him.

Aww man, I got stuck with Lauffer. I somehow never got to registration before Dawkins was full. I wanted to take Price too; some people didn't like him, but he's a legend.
