Comment:

The homework was a waste (just copy out of the book), and the book was a bit confusing. But I studied a lot for the exams and did very well in the course. My advice is to read and reread the textbook and you'll do fine on the exams. I learned a lot in this course, but worked for it!

Comment:

I loved this class and the professor! Dr. Damron is nice and easy to get along with, plus he really knows his stuff. Read the book (he wrote it), the exams come directly from it (but make sure to pay attention to details)! I learned a lot in this course, and would definitely take another course taught by Damron!

I loved this class! I'm an Animal Science major with the Pre-vet option, which made this class mandatory, and I was OK with that. He writes the textbook so READ IT! Overall, it was enjoyable and well worth my time.

Comment:

I liked this class because my major is Animal Science. I thought Dr. Damron made the class enjoyable. He knows the information very well and he likes to talk about it. I thought the test were somewhat hard because he doesn't prepare you very well for the exams. Overall I liked this class a lot!!

Comment:

I was nervous about how well I would do in this class based off some of the 'poor' ratings Dr Damron has received on this site, but I had no problem with the ANSI1124 'independent study' course and got an 'A'. Read the book, know the material, & you'll do fine! My only complaint is the amount of time it took to get exam grades back (several weeks)!

Comment:

Some people have a bad perception of Dr. Damron from ANSI 1124. He uses a textbook he wrote himself, which some see as pompous, but his textbook is very well organized and useful. He is very knowledgable. I took the in-class section of ANSI 3903, and I would highly recommend it. He was helpful and entertaining. Get to know him one-on-one.

Comment:

He is not willing to help with the understanding of assignments. He takes off on assignments without a reason, or will take of 15 points because you forget one word while writing. He is not willing or capable of discussing how you can better prepare yourself during the course. Overall as a professor,not one of the best out there. Needs improvement.

Comment:

I really love his class. It was difficult and requires some studying, but if you are an ag major you should be able to work and pass with a good grade. It's pretty basic knowledge, but the test are difficult. You have to prove to him that you know the subject, but hey welcome to college.

Comment:

I can honestly say that this is the rudest man I have ever met in my entire life. He is not willing to help his students. He only teaches a fourth of the class, the rest is taught by TA's. He is very full of himself and thinks everything he says is entertaining. Don't dare be caught on your phone. He has a seating chart and will count the seats

Comment:

Typical college class. Attend class.. take notes.. go to lab.. you will be fine.. Study the outlines.. they are almost word for word on the tests.. Attendance helps your grade. Don't fall asleep, talk, or dare text in his class.. he WILL call you out.. One of the best ANSI Profs!

My experience with Dr. Damron was NOT a good one. Although he was a pretty good teacher and he made his points well, he is EXTREMELY unapproachable and understanding.

Comment:

He writes his own textbook, which includes pictures of his prized dogs (which are actually nasty little ankle biters he likes to pretend win dog shows) and not much helpful information. He constantly bashed people, calling anyone with any concerns about animal production 'stupid' and 'crazy'. I will not ever take more of his classes.

Comment:

This guy is extremely rude and nasty! He refuses to explain something to you if you ask him a question and if you ask again because you still can't figure it out, he tells you he doesn't have time to waste explaining things to you.

Comment:

I took this class through correpondance. The professor took forever to grade tests, but was fast about homework assignments. Don't ask him any questions though. It just makes him mad. I asked two questions and neither of them got answered, but I did get a snotty remark back from him about how busy he is.

Comment:

This is the corresponding class where you email the asst. and take the tests in Wes Watkins. Extremely easy book work, just copy it out of the book. All he is looking for is that you read it. The tests on the other hand are unpredictable and ask for little details. Also I got behind and he didnt care he said just to get it in when I could. EASY

Comment:

He's very full of himself and his book!!! I learned a lot in this class, but definately expect to basically memorize the book. Definately attend class. If you're even remotely borderlined he will bump your grade up based on your attendance. An A is very much duable though.

This prof. knows what he's talking about. He IS sarcastic but funny...just don't make him mad. As my advisor, he really guides me well. His book was neatly organized but this class was hard for me because I didn't know anything about large animals.

Comment:

When reading the other comments, I though this class would be hard. Turns out is was pretty easy. He gives a lot of extra credit for just showing up to class. The tests are pretty hard but its just memorizing out of the book and he gives you 5 min on the tests to look in the book. Hes a really nice guy!!!

Comment:

He is a great teacher if you are willing to put forth the effort. He genuinely cares about the students and is ready and willing to help at any time! He is NOT biased. This class weighs heavily on attendance!! He wrote the book so you have to know your stuff do do well on tests. Tests ARE NOT that difficult, you just have to know the info.
