Intelligent, soft spoken and friendly professor. I would highly recommend taking Agronomy/Hort 338, especially with Dr. Shawn Kaeppler.

Very personable professor and his lectures and demeanor are very relaxed and easy-going. I had him for a class relatively early in the morning and it was a nice way to start the day. Definitely do the practice tests a couple times to do well on the exams. He offers a good deal of extra credit and is an interesting guy to talk to.

Never used the book. Class attendance is not mandatory; just study the powerpoints and you will be fine. Great teacher, very personable. Do his book reports and you will get an easy A. I doubt he actually reads them.

Dr. Kaeppler is easily one of the best professors I have ever had. He is a great teacher. If you have an opportunity to take a class with him, do it - you will not regret it.
