Reviews of professor Samuel Jackson

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
This class was hard for me because I had no agriculture background, test were hard and are the only thing taken into your grade. Lectures are long and can get a bit boring, no one really paid attention, he cracks some jokes here and there. Lab is mandatory with 1/3 of the grade and is fairly easy, shout out to my TA Sam Barker she was awesome!!

your score in this class is solely on exams and the lab. GO TO YOUR LAB. your lab counts at 1/3 of your grade. attendance is mandatory for that. exams are hard, study a lot. breed identification was the hardest for me as you had to tell the difference between 2 white sheep. GO TO THE LECTURE AND STUDY THE SLIDESHOWS. that's your best bet to pass

Dr. Jackson is pretty cool. He is very lecture heavy so go to class and take notes!! (Lecture slides are posted on blackboard but he adds more information while lecturing during class). He is very accommodating if you have a time conflict with a test for another class.

Get the lecture notes & USE THEM. The class is so easy if you study 2/3 hours for each exam, plenty of quizlets out there. Attend all labs and do the quizzes so you have something to help buffer your lecture grade. He is super helpful if you have specific questions and is super funny in lectures. I learned so much and liked the class a lot!

Very smart and knows what he's talking about. Grades are only the tests for the lecture, study hard. 1/3 of the grade is the lab. It's helpful to have an agricultural background, I did not have one. But he does a good job of explaining what you don't know especially if you ask questions. Most of the material is knowing livestock breeds. Go to class

Dr. Jackson is a great person but not a great professor. He has been teaching for awhile so knows exactly how to scare students. The lectures are long and cover a lot of information in a short period of time. The test are very challenging and tedious and those are the only grades in the class. Be prepared to study a tremendous amount.

He tells us to memorize things for the test and then does not have any test questions regarding them. He was also difficult to reach and did not hold office hours, and when I finally could schedule a meeting with him, he scheduled two other students at the same time, so he never talked to me.
