I had her for Companion Animals, and she is a great professor. She really knows what she is talking about, and is always willing to help. Her quizzes and tests are easy, as long as you study. Pets are allowed in class, and guest speakers come in a lot. If you are interested in animals, this is the class for you!

Had her for Companion Animals and loved it! She's super nice and has awesome experiences to share. The textbook was just a printout of her powerpoints, but it was helpful. Easy class if you love animals. Take it!

Great class. Best Prof. ever!

ONLINE CLASS-a lot of reading but no lectures to listen to. be sure to study because the tests are descriptive and requires you to remember small details on some questions. be sure to take notes when you listen to the guest lectures and study those as well! She also offers an EC assignment which is a nice grade boost in addition to EC on tests

I absolutely loved Dr. Ange!! She was always so helpful and answered everyones questions and the tests are easy if you actually study! I think some people feel that it is a joke class and then get mad when they are failing. She is awesome and I am her TA now and love it!! Take her class if you love animals its the best!

I was in her Intro to companion animals class and she is an excellent teacher. She records her material online and has a $40 textbook which is basically following the material she uses in class. A lot of the class is knowing animals, breeds and behaviors along with guest speakers and animals that come to class. Overall, very fun and helpful.

Dr.Ange's class is extremely easy. Everything you need is in the coursepack and she does a good job of explaining it. It is a lot of memorization, but it's stuff that is fairly easy to understand. Her tests are basically the same every semester. Pay attention to little details and guest lectures!! She gives a lot of extra credit. Easy A+.

Great class

Fantastic teacher and class!

Awesome teacher. A lot of TA's which is convenient. Two review sessions before each class. Goes a little fast sometimes but not always and puts the powerpoints online. A LOT of extra credit available.

Dr. A is really cool and her class is fun. Attendance affects your grade, after 3 she starts taking off points. A LOT OF INFO ON TESTS, but it's all in the course pack. Pays very close attention to detail but it's interesting so you'll remember!

Dr. A is an excellent professor who gives long tests, but the information is easy and she makes sure that any and all of her students can pass. You will need to study, but it's not as rigorous as many other classes.

Excellent teacher. Anything she says is fair game for a test, so it's important to write down anything she says that isn't already in the notes. Overall a very fun class.

This was a great class. Dr. Ange is a lot of fun and her lectures are posted online. Also, people are allowed to bring their pets and there are several cool guest lecturers. The test are long but if you study the night before, you'll be fine. She gives study guides that are really helpful.

This class is great if you love companion animals. She is very exciting to listen to and she even lets you bring your pet to class! She offers plenty of ways to get a good grade in the class.

This was the best online class I have taken. She provides a lot of information and resources. She also does collaborate sessions so she can interact with students. Very quick to respond to emailsanswer any questions you may have. Must really understand material to do well on test. She provides extra credit opportunities.

I took this class thinking it would be an easy GEP- I was wrong! This class is mainly for pre-vet students and the tests are really hard; but it's a fun class, and if you are willing to study it is worth taking. Dr. A is really nice, helpful, and fun. AND you can bring your pet into class (with permission from Dr. A)!

Dr.A was a great professor. Her lectures were interesting and the info during them was on the tests (she didn't include anything she didn't talk about). Guest lectures and videos are important to pay attention to, they are on tests and in detail. She gives extra credit and if you at least look over notes the notes you will get an A.

Dr. A is a wonderful woman who knows what she is talking about. She offers a course-pack that is all slides she uses in lecture. BEWARE she will test on things discussed in lecture so attendance is important. The best part of class is having pets and guest-speakers' animals attend class and have them walk around freely. The tests are long.

Overall a pretty easy class, but studying is still a must. There's a lot of info that is easy to learn if you like the subject. Pretty funny and very easy going. Gives a lot of extra credit for events & attendance. Very willing to answer questions and you can bring your pet to class. Also gives a partial credit on tests and records lectures online.

Great class and does exactly what the syllabus says - if you are a slacker - avoid the class!

Good class

Dr. A is a good lecturer, but the class has a ton of information. The tests are intensive because of the amount of material the class covers, but they are manageable if you study and go to review sessions. The subject is also really interesting and having pets in class is a treat!

I love Dr. A! Her Companion Animal class covers a lot of material, but it is very interesting! You can bring you animal to class. Dr. A is very nice and helpful. The tests are long, but they are easy if you study.

Good course and great info

Dr A's class is a lot of fun. You will learn a lot about all types of pets and people can bring their pets into the class. There are also entertaining guest lecturers. The tests is a tad challenging but it is not too hard to get an A.

Professor Heugten's course for ANS 105 was extremely interesting. She made the course material easy to understand and the tests were based off of the lectures. It is important to come to class as she does take attendance and a lot of the material is stuff that wasn't on the slides in the book.

Dr. A is a great professor. She is enthusiastic about her class and wants her class to do their best. Make sure to pay attention to guest lectures and animal visitors that come to class. There are review sessions before each test and make sure you take advantage of this and ask questions. Look over her review sheets she posts online for tests.

Dr. A is great. Shes super nice and her class is so interesting. Shes very knowledgeable on the subject, so it is best to take everything she says into account. Attendance is mandatory, but skipping just isnt a good idea anyways because she adds so much information thats not on the slides and it is always included in the tests. Great professor.

Dr. A was a fantastic professor. She makes the topic even more interesting than it already is. You can really tell how passionate she is about companion animal science. Definitely get the textbook, as she teaches straight from it.

Pay attention in class, esp little points that may seem insignificant (ie guest lecturer's name) b/c will pop up on test. A LOT of information, you have to really study and pay attention to how tests are formatted. It really is an enjoyable class, but you have to put in the effort to do well. Go to class, get the textbook and take good notes

Dr. A is wonderful! Her lectures are very interesting and she invites a lot of different guest speakers to speak. Like your typical class you have to study your notes and textbooks to make a good grade. She does offer an extra credit paper to replace a test grade and there are extra credit questions on all of her exams. Shes great I loved her.

As a non-animal science major, this class was pretty dense and a lot more work than expected but the material was interesting and the guest lectures were fun. Everything said in class is fair game for tests so write down everything and pay close attention. Unrealistic amount of time for quizzes so think quick and study for them.

Dr. A was an amazing professor. Definitely go to class, because she will say things that will end up on the tests. Remember the names and purposes of the guest lectures. If you study a lot for this class, you should be good. The review sessions and the quizzes were very helpful. Remember names of animals brought to class for extra credit, also.

I was an undergrad taking ANS 590, and I loved every minute of it. Short lectures for each unit, and a massive project you get day one, but there's a lot of points if you struggle in one area. I didn't pull an A on any of the exams, but still managed to pull one overall in the course. You'll learn a lot. I met with her for help when I needed.

hard class but fair and great info

Dr.A is there for her students and wants you to succeed. I didn't really care about the content but I loved her lectures and never even thought about skipping class. A lot of guest lecturers and the TAs gave great study resources. I suggest buying the book and then writing down anything she repeats or says that wasn't on the slide. Love Dr.A!!

I took this class during a covid semester. The format of the class was asynchronous. While there is a lot of reading required for the class, this class is one of the most interesting classes I have ever taken. Dr. K does give out extra credit opportunities and she defintely makes you work for your grade . If you don't mind the work, she is amazing

Nicely done - especially in the pandemic

great class and worth the effort but should come to class

Dr Ange-Van Heugten is so nice!! However, do not take this class if you are looking for an easy A. Almost anything she says in lecture, even if it's not in the lecture slides will be tested on. You have to be prepared to study even though it's a 100 level course. Overall just put the effort in right away and it will pay off.

Look over your exams because sometimes things get marked off that shouldn't but she has a clear regrade policy. I didn't have to study too hard but you HAVE to pay attention to everything in class/maybe rewatch lectures; anything can be an exam question. She lets pets come to class and is super kind, knowledgeable, and accessible outside of class.

The course is taught all by lecture and there is a lot of information covered. Best if you have prior knowledge before hand, but will still do well if not. Exams are very difficult. Great course if you love the material.

Good class. Learned a lot.

Great class but not for the lazy. Should plan to pay attention and try in the course. Enjoyed it.

Overall, I enjoyed learning the content in this class. However, make sure to write down and know everything that she may say in class including all of the guest and TA lectures! Quizzes and tests are very specific and include multiple choice, fill in the blank, matching, short answer, etc. Attending the review sessions before tests can also help!

Dr. K is a little strict but that is because her class should be an easy A. Attend, study, and you will do great. I don't think the textbook was necessary though, all the info in the book is on her PowerPoints.

Although the exams contain A LOT of information, and they can be hard, she is a great teacher. This class was very interesting and you can tell she knows her stuff about nutrition. If you are looking to actually learn about nutrition and have it presented in an interesting way she is your go to. Participation matters!

Great class - great professor -

Great instructor and easy class. I assume bad reviews are from non majors taking the class.

Class is very competitive to enroll in (usually just seniors). Teacher knows her stuff and the lab sections introduce students to many people that can help us find jobs.

Very knowledgeable and easy to reach outside of class. Fair and wants students to succeed.

This class is lab heavy and provides good networking opportunities for students interested in the field. If you do not have a genuine interest in companion animals, then I would recommend taking a different 400 level

Dr. A is so sweet and caring; however, attendance is mandatory and if you miss lots of classes, you will automatically fail this class. Fun guest lecturers, she gives you as much help before a test as possible. Tests are information-dense but mostly multiple choice. She uses the book but you don't need it.

One of the easiest classes at NC State. Little homework with tests that are easy if you study. Breed identification is very easy. Coursepack is "required" but not needed.

Dr. A was such a fun professor. She really loves what she is teaching and wants you to learn the material. ANS 105 is a really fun class too! Most days we'd have a dog in class, and they were always friendly.

If you are interested or come in with prior knowledge about companion animals then this class will be very interesting and a lot easier. My friends who knew less coming in struggled to keep up with the amount of content. Lectures were mandatory and usually interesting. Overall a fun class! Just be prepared for the amount of material.

This class was similar to ANS105 in the way that tests were formatted and expanded on more companion knowledge. 2 HW assignments, which were paper's that we did based on picking from a prompt and there were also discussion posts. The lab is fun as you get to visit animal shelters, koi farm, NCMNS, etc. Can also potentially be exempt from final.

This class isn't bad, but the exams require you to remember EVERY small detail. Something said once in class can appear on the exam. You're expected to memorize everything. Other than that, Dr. A and her TA are nice, and the class is manageable. It's just very information-dense and some of the stuff you're required to know is slightly ridiculous.

Dr. Ange is a caring professor who cares for her students, and her TAs are kind and always willing to help. The course is manageable, with four quizzes and the lowest dropped. Exams cover material from class and slides, which she usually follows closely. It's a fun class, and if you study, the exams are very reasonable. I would take it again.

The class itself is wonderful, the teacher and TAs are fabulous, and the quizzes are open notes. The first couple of units aren't hard, but it gets difficult once you get into anatomy and diseases. Make sure to study for exams; there will be open-ended questions, and points can be taken off for spelling.
