    "comment": "Had him as a guest lecturer in Dy Sci 233. Dr Shaver is an expert  of forage and dairy nutrition. He is passionate about what he does and his enthusiasm makes for great classes. He is down to earth and approachable. Laid-back and easy going, makes for a fun class. 10/10 would take any class he teaches.",
