Comment:

This class is kind of ridiculous. His lectures consist of him rambling on, he just reads off the power points and doesn't stop to explain anything, and his overall attitude towards the class leads me to believe that he does not really care whether students pass or fail. I am a straight A student and I am struggling to maintain a C- average....

Comment:

easy teacher but his exams are tough. he gives you studyguides but they are just a lot of facts on 5 pages. he doesnt do attendance except for the first month and your only grades are you 4 exams and 2 practicals so no extra credit. he is willing to help but it short answering. also in lab he leaves you to do work yourself and disappeared.

Comment:

He is a straightforward professor that shows a power-point during lectures, he goes fast with the slides, so print them off beforehand. He is very boring! Do not take him at 8 a.m., if possible, you will sleep in his class and not pay attention. His tests/practicals were easy as long as you study what's on the study guide.

Comment:

Great professor and really nice guy! Lectures as he goes through powerpoint. Very boring, but tries to make it better with occasional jokes. Goes through slides rather quickly, so print off notes from Blackboard before going to class. Tests are pretty easy, but impossible if you do not do the study guide he gives on Blackboard.

Awesome teacher!! Somewhat boring, but can be funny. If you take him for Anatomy the test questions come straight from the study guide!! Pay attention in class, know the study guides (he puts them online), and you're sure to come out with an A!!

Comment:

O'Dell is a great professor. He's straight forward and very informative. His tests comes directly from the notes that come directly off of Blackboard (which he puts out there willingly). Labs are quite fun too, he gets very involved and likes to see his students do well. I highly recommend anyone who is to take Anatomy to take Dr. O'Dell.

Very easy if you study. Lectures are quite boring but he posts everything on Blackboard and you can print out his notes and he just goes over the notes. Go to all of the labs and be sure to participate and you'll do fine!

Comment:

Easiest science class I've ever taken in my life. Like everyone else O'Dell was a pretty awesome teacher who gives study guides that are practically the test, but doesn't always cover everything that would be on the test. Just study and attend every lab. Darling and funny.

Great Professor! Highly recommended! Truly knows his material and taught in a way everbody could understand. Gave study guides for each test which was extremely helpful... but don't assume he won't have questions on the test about information not covered in the study guide.

Great teacher, nice, very helpful. Explains things through for you to understand. You get a study guide and if you do it, you will breeze through. Labs are fun and interesting. Test are hard, but you have plenty of visual aids and study time. You will know what is exactly wanted SO STUDY!!!!

Comment:

Wonderful professor. I was one of the few who actually went to lecture, but I think he helped me out because of it. Study guides are pretty much the test so study those and you'll be fine. Lab tests can be tough, but only if you dont study. GREAT TEACHER!!

Class was easy. Gives study guides for each test and lab practical. Study the study guides and you will ace the test. Don't stay in lab the whole time normally. Once you go over it, you are free to go. Rec. to anyone. Good teacher.
