Reviews of professor Joe Eakes

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
This professor is unprofessional, disorganized, uncooperative and all around bad at teaching. He treats the class more like a church congregation than students at University . This course deserves better since it's a capstone. I was just spinning my wheels for a semester in this class

He really cares. Very very engaged. Makes taking a science class much better.

He had the most unclear grading criteria in my college experience. He was disorganized without a clear schedule for course material during the semester. He didn't even know what his assignments would be. He told me he doesn't have to make accomodations for a person in the hospital for 6 wks, so the military student is no different.

This class is challenging for a 100 level course, but it is so interesting. When I had questions, I would go up to him before class and he was more than happy to help. Lab is mandatory, but fun! There are a lot of tests which are easy with study guides if you study. They help you out bring your grade up! He posts lectures online if you missed it

Great dude! Extremely knowledgeable on horticulture. It doesnt matter if this is your major or if youre just a home gardener he makes the content applicable to you. Its definitely lecture and lab heavy but its usually very real world focused knowledge if you pay attention. The worst thing I can say about him is hes an Auburn fan.

I enjoyed Eakes and his introductory horticulture class. While the class focused on the basics of plant anatomy/physiology as well as how to grow, he covered almost all niches of horticulture in his PowerPoints. He was approachable after lectures and compassionate. The exams were fair. He invited guest lecturers too. It was a nice, simple class.

Joe Eakes is very kind. Kind of ditzy with technology but it makes class interesting. Attendance isn't mandatory but lectures have a lot of notes so I'd recommend going, and you have to attend lab to get the participation for that. Don't get the book!! I opened it once. It isn't necessary and if you just study the notes you'll do well on the exams.

Eakes is knowledgeable about what he teaches, you can tell that he cares about the subject. He is an awesome guy and a really good teacher. My problem with this class is that it is way too hard for a 100 level class that doesn't relate to most of the class' majors. There is way too much information to learn between tests and it is hard to study for

This professor is as lost as the students. He constantly asks students questions about the material that we don't even know about. Would not ever take him again
