Comment:

BEST professor in the Ag department. He doesn't use powerpoint or d2l, so go to class and actually LEARN what he's teaching instead of copying notes/memorizing for the test. He's a nice guy and if you have a problem falling asleep in his lectures, get him off topic at the beginning of class You will stay awake laughing -He loves robots & mini cows

Comment:

If you are expecting a safe zone, do not expect it from this class/professor. We are all college students, and he expects you to think and operate at that level. If not he will get frustrated, and may hurt your feelings. He teaches straight from the book, so study that. He is really helpful if you ask for help, but you have to have knowledge of it.

Horrible class, only taking it because it is required for my major. He is very rude, and belittling when you ask for help. I do not recommend taking a class taught by him.

Comment:

A rather difficult class/concept to understand if you are not familiar with economics and business management. I have never seen anyone get so angry and wound up over students simply asking him a question, or just wanting to repeat something. You have to have a strong exterior, he has made students cry when they asked for help in the past....

Comment:

Very hard class! I studied a lot and tried talking to him multiple times for help, didn't seem to care too much. Definitely buy the book, because his lectures will put you to sleep. All tests are fill in the blank so you really need to know details. Very dry personality and tends to ramble.

Comment:

This class was extremely difficult for me. Attendance is very mandatory. BUY THE BOOK! Tests are fairly hard and he does not understand if you don't get the concepts. Don't recommend taking this if you do not absolutely need it.

Comment:

Classes were pretty rough to sit through only because I have no interest in the subject. He loves what he teaches about and does tend to ramble. The tests were really difficult to me but I honestly cant say I studied much. If you go to class and take good notes you should be able to pass no problem.

Comment:

This class is not as hard as everyone makes it out to be. If you go to class and sit in the front to STAY AWAKE... it's not that bad. Study old tests and you'll do good on the tests. Don't let older students intimidate you about it. I was dreading taking it, but in the end made a B without too much effort.

I liked 344 better personally. 261 is just boring, but if you have old tests, study and half way pay attention you can pass! Its not as bad as people say.
