Quality 2/5Difficulty 4/5
Crenshaw was an okay professor at best. He was not very welcoming in lectures and spent 10 minutes of every lecture off topic. The lecture material was fairly easy to understand, however, the homework and quiz questions are written very oddly and it is hard to determine what they are asking of you. Unfortunately he is the only professor.

Tom is a great guy, I actually wish he was my grandpa. I highly suggest taking 415 with him. He states the first day of class that if you come to class you will get an A. Plus, the group research project is fun and you get to play with baby pigs!

I had Crenshaw for my InterAg 155 discussion adviser. He is a very knowledgeable man that is passionate about his work with swine nutrition. He is very easy to talk to and is willing to not just discuss class but also you and your goals and ambitions. One of the kindest an most interesting people I know.

How interesting can you make the biochemical pathways of 40 nutrients? Very knowledgeable, loves to help you learn beyond what is being tested, but, don't ask a question unless you actually want the answer. it will never be "yes" or "no". 311 is tough, info comes fast, but he's willing to help one-on-one if you ask.

Overemphasis on powerpoint and a lack of variety during lecture (not really a lack of enthusiasim, but perhaps a bit monotone) left it hard to stay awake in the course.
