Newsletter of the College of Architecture at Texas A&M University
Architecture professor Rodney Hill was profiled in the Spring 2010 issue of The Explorer, a newsletter published by Texas A&M's Honors Programs.
When Hill received a teaching award in 2007, he learned that he'd taught more honors students than anyone else on campus, stated the article.
"You are with people that really care about learning," Hill told The Explorer. "They are highly motivated people who feed each other and help each other out. The honors students are more inquisitive and ask excellent questions."
Hill said honor students also respond well to challenges.
"You start challenging them and you can see them accomplish during their freshman year what seniors are just learning to do," he said. "For instance, five years ago one student from the valley taught himself in two weeks the content of one semester AutoCAD course."
