Student Comments

Vaughn is an excellent teacher. I really enjoyed this class. Communication skills in F&W are so important, and Vaughn taught them well. Also, whenever I needed a question answered or extended time on assignments, he was very quick to respond, and always understanding that life has hiccups. He made balancing kids and school doable for me, and that is so much appreciated.

Vaughn instructor was fantastic! Both, on an academic level and on a personal level. Not only could I tell that he was passionate about his job and the subject, but also his students. He took the time to read between the lines, and that's a GREAT Teacher and Leader.

Professor Robison promoted a positive learning environment without going so far as to hinder growth and discord. He set the expectation that we present ourselves as individuals, support others as individuals, and be respectful of others ideas even if they are not the same as our own. He presented us with the tools to bridge the gap between our differences and gave us activities to exercise those skills.

The instructor was receptive to me being more of a direct communicator, and responded to me in kind. It was nice to have blunt feedback rather than a soft approach. It saves a lot of time and avoids questions.

Vaughn was hands down one of the best instructors I have ever had the pleasure of taking a class with. He helped me inside and outside of class in a multitude of ways. He was professional, courteous and a great steward in the College of Agricultural Science.

Incredible feedback was always given, and I was always very aware of what I did well on and what I could have improved on. Robison was very communicative and understanding and it's very obvious he is invested in his teachings and the success of his students. This was a really great course that I will look back on for the rest of my academic career.

This course provided me with a lot of resources that will benefit me in the future in my career in F&W, as well as informed me on a lot of opportunities that I wasn't aware are out there. Professor Vaughn was very accessible and helpful and tried to be accommodating to every student in the best ways possible. The course was well structured with lots of opportunities for improvement and growth.

The personalized, thorough feedback on each assignment, big or small, was paramount to my success in this course. The material was engaging and relevant, and in addition was planned expertly to ignite meaningful discussions on challenging topics.

I learned so much in this course and it truly helped me in my goals and future endeavors. I appreciate that the instructor was so helpful and accepting of other perspectives. Great course.

Professor Vaughn provided excellent feedback on assignments. With direct instruction on how we could have improved and high praise on areas we excelled, he provided the constructive feedback that I believe all professors should model. As a student, it can be frustrating to do our best on an assignment, not get the grade we were hoping for, but not know exactly where we lacked. With Professor Vaughn, not only did I learn a great deal through the assignments and learning material, but he took the time to really evaluate and provide helpful guidance after completion.

The professor was always prompt to reply, always helpful, and actually read what I had to say and always gave the best feedback. He was present throughout the entire duration of the course and literally slam dunked the remote classroom approach, because I felt like he was there the whole time. Loved it.

The writing assignments were great practice for the real world where the concepts can be applied easily. The feedback was phenomenal.
