Comment:

I took him onlne. You must dedicate quite a bit of time and effort. It is not a blowoff class! You must read the chapters, know the study guide, and study. If you do that, no problem. I have no regrets taking his class.

Comment:

I enjoy his class. He expects his students to be mature minded. I agree with the student who says he has been given a bad rap. He has more of a traditional way of teaching that is easy to understand and the information is easily retained. I don't regret my decision to have taken his course. A very sweet person, indeed.

Comment:

I think Mr. Odom has been given a bad rap here. He is not the most animated teacher but he is very helpful if you ask questions and show the effort! I passed both his classes with a B and for summer I missed a week of class! Maybe you should read the study guide, he can be very tricky but it is a cl

I WOULD NOT TAKE THIS MAN AGAIN IF I HAD TOO!! I ALMOST DIDNT PASS IF I DIDNT HAVE EXTRA HELP. HE SHOWS SLIPS, HE ACTS LIKE HIS LIFE IS HORRIBLE AND HE HAS NO EXPRESSION OR ACTS LIKE HE DOESNT CARE. I WOULD TAKE ANOTHER TEACHER BUT NOT HIM BECAUSE HE WASNT A HELP OR TAKE HIM ONLINE ONLY!!!

Comment:

Mr. Odom is not a very good teacher. He should be teaching something else. He is very boring, and I could not learn nothing from him. I had to drop his class, Which put me off on my graduation date. I will not take him every again. I do NOT take him take HOUSE!

Comment:

Very good teacher. Everything that was on his exams was information that was clearly in the notes he gave to everyone. If you did not do well in his class, then you did not study what he gave you. I found him courteous and very helpful.

Mr. Odom is rude and seems to grumpy all of the time. He enjoys intemidating his students and trying to make their life as miserable as possible. He's a jerk.
