Review #1 / Course: MC 2010 / Instructor: ODELL T
Odell is great! He goes over everything that will be on the test and rarely gives homework. By far the best teacher for this class. He gives the least outside work and my friends wished they would have taken him.

Odell is an awesome teacher. He's willing to work with you when you need help, and he's encouraging and easy to talk to. If you have to take 2010, take Odell!

Review #3 / Course: MC 4090 / Instructor: ODELL T
Odell cancelled almost every class. When we did have class, he let us out WAY early. He DEFINITELY picks favorites. You think his stuff will be easy (I only took like 10 pages of notes the entire semester), but he figures out a way to pick apart the your answers.. Even though they come straight from his notes. Even so, he's still relatively easy. I recommend flash cards, because most of the test questions are regurgitating ntoes.

Review #5 / Course: MC 3102 / Instructor: ODELL T
MC 3102 is a tough class no matter how you cut it. It will take out of class work and you need to be dedicted. With that said, Tad Odell is the best teacher I had at LSU. He understands the class is tough and he is willing to help you if you just ask. Talk with him about your projects and he'll always manage to say something positive. He wants you to succeed and he'll do whatever he can to make you achieve your goal.

Review #6 / Course: MC 4090 / Instructor: ODELL T
Ethics is already interesting, but Tad takes it to the next level. He is young and laid back, so there's no intimidation. The class is FUN and INTERESTING at the same time. Take Tad Odell, you won't regret it.

Review #7 / Course: MC 3102 / Instructor: ODELL T
he may tear your work apart at first, but listen to him. your grades will get better if you improve your shooting and storytelling like he says to. make sure you always do a little better than the last project. Tad knows his stuff and is very nice

Review #8 / Course: MC 4720 / Instructor: ODELL T
Tad was indecisive, let u pick any project u wanted but never set hard deadlines. by end of semester u dont know what he's looking for and he never "requires" attendance, plus ur bored. dont take it if you like structure b/c u might get sick
