Overall, Eash is a great professor. He provides a lot of extra credit and gives you possible test questions to bring to every lecture. He states grades are correlated with attendance, however he does not take attendance, just has random quizzes that are open for the last 30 minutes of classes.

The material in 334 is the hardest junk, I'm an AG Education major and not soil science, but he goes out of the way to make sure you understand it, enjoy it, and learn it.

Eash goes very quickly during lecture so I would suggest bringing your laptop for notes. However, he does post "possible exam questions" for each lecture that helps you get the main points of each lecture. There are quite a few quizzes and they are based on the readings from the two text books. The good news, there is lots of extra credit!

All he does is tell random stories about dirt in Africa. That's about it. His exams are tougher than they should be for a gen-ed but he gives a lot of extra credit. Do the extra credit and you will be fine. Don't waste money on whatever books you are supposed to buy. It is annoying how much we have to do external activities and monetary spending.

He really cares about his students and always asks for our feedback on assignments and projects. His lectures can be kind of unorganized but he posts questions to use for his powerpoints and uses those questions to make the tests. Going to class is a must or you will not get the answers you need. Some assignments are out of class and mandatory.

He's a really interesting guy, but the lecture material is pretty boring. He pulls questions from his 'outline' he provides, so its easy to not go to class but still do okay. There is also good opportunity for easy points and crazy amounts extra credit, so getting an A is reasonable.

While Dr. Eash can go off on many tangents, he always covers what you will be tested on. He gives clear powerpoint presentations that include questions to be answered by the students.

Engineering major with 4.0 GPA. Might not have that after this class. His stories are entertaining. I can be hard to pay attention and retain all of the information that he wants you to know. He doesn't post his slides so you have to pay attention and try to capture everything he says. Quiz basically every day.

There was three 50 question multiple choice exams and they were super easy.
