Abstract
At a university, a professor’s first and foremost job is that of a teacher. In order to become a professor, one does have to have a doctorate degree, but does not have to go through the rigorous teaching courses required for elementary, middle school, or high school teachers. Still, many professors at Brigham Young University have become outstanding teachers. I decided that I wanted to know what things had contributed to their success. My goal was that by surveying some of those professors who have received awards for their teaching and learning about the things that have added to their success, others in the same profession would be able to benefit from and experience the same kinds of success in their own teaching.
