Reviews of professor Mychal Odom

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
He is so unorganized it's ridiculous. He didn't even follow his OWN syllabus. The papers that he did assign, we never got a grade back. He didn't input a single grade until the day AFTER grades were officially due (still hasn't put them in either). Rambles about nothing all class, and assigns essays on movies that don't have much to do with lecture

Rambles the whole class, is very unorganized, and lazy. I've gone to him twice about grading a paper that I turned in over a month ago and it still is not inputted. If you are good at bs'ing essays, this might be an easy A for you. If you actually want to learn anything and feel like you're not wasting your time, don't take him.

Professor Odom was great, he was very passionate!! All you had to do was listen to lectures and answer questions following the 4- 5 movies he showed and easy 900-word essays were assigned. He does not mark off points for late work so it is better to turn in great work late than terrible work on time. Easy A if you do the questions and essays.

Professor Odom truly cares about his topic of study, but he is incredibly unorganized with distributing and grading assignments. He adds humor to his lectures but often goes on tangents that do not relate to the topic that he is discussing. As long as you write your essays around the very specific prompt that he provides, you should succeed.

Hes a really nice guy but Id rather have him as a friend than a teacher. He is informal and seems quite aloof at times. Most students in my class skip or leave early and he never notices or deciplined them. I feel that Im not learning much in his class. Usually when he teaches, he goes off topic and I end up spacing out during the rest of class.

He does not respond to emails which can be detrimental. My grandfather had cancer and I had to miss a few classes to go see him before he passed. Odom did not respond to any of emails regarding what I missed during class. I spent two days completing the final project before I got back to class only to learn that he had canceled it the class before
