O.L. Robertson is the kind of professor that is not worried about testing you heavy or loading you up with homework, quizzes, yada yada. He cares whether or not you leave his class understanding the material. He really cares about his students and is always available if you need help. Take him seriously and you will learn alot.

Comment:

OL is my favorite. He really cares about his students in every way. If you come to class he notices. You can usually find his tests from past students, he altered them for my class. TIP-it helps to read the chapters on your own. Class is laid back and he'll help you in the end if you have great attendance. He wants you to get connected.

Comment:

OL is a nice guy who REALLY cares about his students. His test are hard, but he never changes his test so if you can find a previous one you're set. He offers extra credit. He tends to ramble and repeat things but he's pretty interesting. Class isn't mandatory but I advise going anyway because he gets pissed when no one shows up.

Comment:

He is very nice and funny. He likes to tell jokes. But he tends to ramble on. His test are hard. He does offer extra credit. But there is no homework or quizzes to help level your grade out. so if you dont take notes or read the chapters you will certainly fail his class.

OL is awesome! Hilarious and honest he will tell you the truth. While attendance isn't required you need to go cause taking notes won't help you and his tests are oober hard. He wants you to learn though so find out if you can stop and talk to him about the tests so he will help you. He wnats what's best for you so don't expect anything less.

Rambles on and on about nothing in class, and even if you take good notes and know the book you can get to the test and see completely new material. Most people get As because they are in the Ag fraternity and get the old tests from them (he has never changed his tests).

Comment:

Funny stories. He is a good teacher bc he let's you learn the hard way that the tests don't only cover class notes, make sure you read chapters and take notes. Very laid back, simple man but one of the smartest I will probably ever know. But he smokes like a chimney :(

OL is an amazing guy! I screwed up and missed half a semester of his class...and he sat down with me and discussed my options for the rest of the semester. I ended up passing with a B. He can be a little boring...until he sets the vial of pig****on your desk.(True story) Take him. Hes great!

OL is extremley smart with cattle, but his lectures go nowhere. To pass his test you need to find the old ones. But have no fear, he gives 60 points worth of extra credit just for turning it in. EASY A!

Comment:

He is a really nice guy and he really cares about his students but the tests are hard. They are unpredictable. You never know what could be on it. So pay attention to everything even his jokes and bits of facts. However, he does do extra credit. So take advantage of it when you can.

Comment:

He's a great guy, but can't teach at all. His tests have nothing to do with the study guides. You never know what he's going to ask on them. He never takes role so you can skip a lot, but i would try to find someone else to take animal science with.

Great guy....really does care about how his students do in all thier classes, not just his. always has some kind of "life lesson" at the beginning of class. always 5-10 minutes late so you dont have to worry about ever being late to his class.

Comment:

I agree with the last person. OL is a great guy and he's really nice. But he just lectures all hour about personal stories. Then he gives a study guide that is never anything like the tests! I just can't seem to do very well in this class and its a 100 level course!!! but i'm doing great my my 300 level ones!

Comment:

OL is really nice guy. I guess if you are a little more interested in what he is teaching then the class would be easier. However, he tends to tell a lot of stories. He does offer a lot of extra credit. Just make sure you read and study a lot.

Comment:

Livestock judging is a fun class. There's only one test and the final is giving an oral set of reasons on a class of beef cattle. OL does kinda assume everybody knows the terms he uses though and it can go over your head.
