The prof is super-nice but that's not quite enough to balance his accent. Personally, I got used to it about halfway through the semester. I found him really unorganized, but it was his first year and hopefully things get better. Class average overall must have been somewhere in the high 80's, but the final was a lot harder than anything else. The first two labs (hands-on with a fistulated dairy cow and piglets) were great, but the last three (diet formulations) were frustrating. It's easy to get good marks on them though! Oh, and the stuff he repeats and repeats and repeats in class? Know it!

Under this particular teacher this is the worst course I have taken in my university career. The midterm and the final were not proof-read and the professor's accent is extremely thick. We didn't get through half the material outlined and there was little to no guidance in the labs. Although I ended up with a decent mark at the end of the day but it required buying a textbook and devoting hours to teaching myself. Also the one time I went to the professor for help he spent the entire time lecturing me on how fair a teacher he was.
