Comment:
Interesting and not too hard of a class. His power points are long but he just adds extra explanation which is helpful. I had a question and he sent it to the poultry expert and then responded so he cares a lot about your questions. The only grades are weekly quizzes and discussions which are not hard. He's really great and personable.

This class is an easy A if you need science credits. All quizzes/tests are open book and the modules are a quick read. I didnt get the textbook, you dont need it honestly. Quizzes are short, so is the final and midterm. Topics are actually interesting. I really enjoyed this class and would take this professor again in a heartbeat.

This class through World Campus was amazing! Bob was funny and his videos were great and I learned WAY more about animals than I expected. Tons of videos in the modules, watch them. He answered all of our discussion questions with ease. He is flexible and available. I wish I could take him again. Textbook is not needed.

Comment:
Dr. Mikesell was really passionate about the course material he taught within this class. He did an amazing job giving lectures which made it easy to learn the material for each exam. He could have been a little bit clearer as to what would be on exams so we could put emphasis on where to study rather than just have to guess on our own. Not bad.

This class is awesome. It was online so you could do the work whenever. All that's required is three pretty short and easy discussion posts per week and three exams. Dr. Mikesell is super chill and has some good videos.

weekly discussion posts and quizzes. Every week he posts a basic summary of everything from that module and what you need to know. Do the assignments and you'll get an easy A.

Comment:
ANSC290W was writing intensive. Bob was really enthusiastic about introducing the speakers that we had to choose from to write papers about each week. When he graded one of my papers and suggested corrections, he gave clear criteria and it helped me improve on my final paper. His way of welcoming students to class made me enjoy being there more.

ANSC100 is a really good course for animal science majors and non-animal science majors alike to take to learn more about animals as far as an introduction to learning about them. Bob is really knowledgeable about his content provided all online and is a really easy grader. Don't miss quizzes, exams or discussion post deadlines, and you'll be fine.

Comment:
The course material is very interesting and easy to digest. There's a textbook but you don't need it. Everything on the tests and quizzes comes from the online modules, but my only complaint is that some questions (rarely) are just random trivia that aren't really worth knowing. Do the work on time and you'll pass.

Comment:
I am surprised Prof Mikesell wasn't listed ass a professor. This class was extremely interesting. Their is a lot of detailed reading each week with the modules. I bought the textbook, but I never used it. Everything you need for the exams are in the modules or required articles. The exams are on details. Print the modules & highlight!
