I'm at this point 15 years removed, but Prof Kernighan was one of the most accessible professors and taught the most popular CS survey course (333).

I have at least a half a dozen times where I was pointed his direction from another professor and Kernighan spent an hour with me looking into how to scrape a dynamic website for my auction theory project. When he was stumped he introduced me to a professor at another school who he knew had looked into the topic.
