If you show up and listen to the professor, he does give information that will make you pass his tests, however, he tends to go off topic at times. On blackboard there were notes on each chapter which were useful to study. The prof also encourages students to go trips and do small assignments for extra credit! Only buy textbook for extra credit.

Wouldn't take again

Ohan was a wonderful professor! One of the best CSI had to offer. He was very caring and was doing everything in his ability for us to do well in the class. There were 2 trips and (if I recall correctly, students were encouraged to go on at least one. There were 3 exams and he gave extra credit assignments. Overall, he was great!
