Very cool teacher. presents the course in a very organized manner, making a difficult subject easier to understand. Very tough grader though.

Easy grader. Very slight accent. Presents material in an organized and easy to follow manner. Class isn't bad. Make sure you keep up with the work, though. He's a very good professor.

Nicely proesented material. Easy to understand. He is quite mathematical, but not hard. Gives a fairly large curve. As long as you do the homework, you'll be fine.

I had him for Intermediate Micro. and its a difficult class no matter what, but Okada is a great teacher. Notes are easy to read and clear, and he goes slow, not only this but if you go to his office hours he is really helpful and answers questions really good. Awesome teacher!! Take him, no fear

Good professor- boring, but notes are clear and teaches from the book, easy to study for, exams taken largely from the homework and theres a huge curve. (85+ = A)

Good professor. Very helpful if you go to office hours. Gives good examples in class that's easy to follow.

Very easy class, insane built-in curve and weighted tests means that its hard not to get an A. The lecture notes are online and super-clear, so there's no need to go to class, really. The online Aplia homework is very helpful, but time-consuming; in the end, it lets you not study, so its worth it.

Very interesting class-- it's basically cooperative game theory, but As are at a premium. Killer final quiz that lowered grades a fair amount. It's one of the only 400 econ classes which is as challenging as it sounds. Take it if you're serious about econ. If you go to class and are fairly apt at math you'll be fine.

Cooperative Game Theory is pretty much a math class, with some applications to economics. Interesting class. Materials is hard, but quizzes are easy. His personal notes (which he posts) are crystal clear. Would have gotten an A if not for the killer final quiz. It lowered everyone's grade. Wound up with a B+.

The final quiz WAS hard, but I got an A in the class. You basicallly need to get a perfect on 4 of 6 quizzes (drops 2), and then pass the final quiz, and you'll have an A. The class is interesting-- challenging, which is uncommon for the econ department. Worth taking if you really like econ, but you'll pay dearly if you slack off.

The class looks hard, but actually not. No homework no midterm. just do what you learn during class, you can get an A.

Good professor, not as bad as people say. quizzes are similar to examples given in class. Not hard to get A in this class, just go to class,PAY ATTENTION, and DO the practice problem. Should get AT least an B.

Mean to give 4 for easiness for the comment below.

Just memorize how to do each of the problems he teaches and you'll be fine. Quizzes are straight forward. Don't even bother buying the textbook, it's useless for his intermediate micro class.

great guy. read book and go to classes and you will get an A

I was in a study group of about 10 people give or take. Everyone who tried got either an A or a B. You can complain about him being a horrible teacher all you want but he tells you what to read, what to study, and it's up to you to get the grade. Make no mistake, this class was challenging. Plus Okada is funny!

Don't get me wrong--This class was very challenging, easily one of the hardest econ classes at rutgers. However, Okada is very helpful and genuinely wants his students to do well. The curve on this class makes it nearly impossible not to pass. Go to class, go to office hours and make an effot--you'll be fine.

This guy is awesome. He makes his lectures very clear and it is really important to take notes and read the textbook. His exams are very hard but he cares for his students by giving extra credit often. Everyone who is complaining is complaining about the TA who grades everything and basically screws us all. He is good and generous.

Professor Okada is VERY helpful during office hours and will sit with you until you get it. He will even meet with you on days other than his office hours. If you actually try to do well in his class, you will. Make use of his office hours and go to class!

I came into this class not having done any math in two years. My advice is go over calc (specially algebra), MAKE STUDY GROUPS, and study the text book and practice problems like if your life depended on it. Yeah his class was a little rough, but with enough effort his curve will make it worth it. Btw I got an A. Anyone who failed needs to study.

Your grade is just based off of your quizzes and he drops the two lowest. He sends practice problems to help you prepare for the quiz each week and they are basically identical to the quiz itself. No reason to not at least get a B with minimal effort.

there is no reason not to get an A or a B, the quizzes are straightforward and are the same as the practice problems he gives. NO EXAMS :)

Best Econ 320 professor. 11 quizzes and drops lowest 2. I had two low quizzes because I didn't study thinking I would drop them but then I missed one quiz so I was stuck with 3 low grades. Still ended up with a B+. Professor is very clear and quizzes are similar and often the same as the practice problems.

11 quizzes, drops lowest 2. Quizzes are similar and often times the same as the practice problems. No reason to get less than a B.

He test are based of the practice problems. He is extremely nice and will help you till the end. I had a family emergency and he was the nicest professor I ever come across. He offers extra time and tell me I can take the exams when I am ready. Couldn't ask for a better professor.

He was a blessing for my first semester at Rutgers. The HW was online, and was very easy. For the tests, he would give us practice problems to study. It was a lot, but I studied them all and aced all the tests. I even got a C on the final, and because of my HW and test grades, I still got an A.

On the first day, he says don't read the textbook, if you want an easy A, read it. I messed up the first exam bc I didn't read it. 2nd exam, I did so well I only needed a 67 to get an A in his class lol. His exams are tough, but he literally gives you packets with the exam problems on them, if you do them you'll do fine on the exam! Good Luck.

Don't show up to class as it is a waste of time. When studying, review power-points posted on MYECONLAB as they are based on the text book. You will need to study for the exams. This class wasn't easy, but it wasn't awful either. He also posts chapter study guides containing MC questions that are found on the tests. Do not cram.

His classes are a bit dry, but he gives so many opportunities for you to do well. 9 quizzes, he counts the top 7. No final. There are two projects, which you basically get credit for if you hand it in. He also gives extra credit. GO TO HIS OFFICE HOURS! Can easily get a B+ if you pass all quizzes, and def an A if you do well on several.

This class has no midterm or final, there are only quizzes(one every week or so). He gives practice quizzes that are extremely close to the actual quizzes. Expect an occasional curve ball on quizzes. If you do the projects and do well on the quizzes you'll easily get an A. He also gives a lot of extra credit and drops two of the lowest quiz grades.

9 quizzes, drops the lowest 2, do the projects well because they'll boost you up at the end. All the quizzes are based on his study guides he assigns before the actual quiz. Do them thoroughly and make sure you understand the concept. I always studied the day before and got an A, with the extra credit that is. Also make friends, it helps!

I am taking this class currently and feel good about the lectures; he makes the concepts easy to understand, he always gives examples and explains several times until the majority of class understand it. He also translate those professional econ words into regular words that we can understand better. His lecture is clear, and online homework helps.

Very good at explaining micro. Thought I would dread this class, ended up thoroughly enjoying it. And learned a lot!

Class was very easy. Just do the prep questions a few times and you will do well. Don't even bother with the textbook, I did not open it once. Take him!

Though his lectures may be dry at times, I had okay experience in this class. The exams were clear-cut and very similar to the study guides he posts on Sakai. Go to lecture since he goes over some of the challenge exam questions (that you can get bonus points on the exam for). Didn't use the book once. Online homework can be very annoying.

NO exams. Only quizzes every two weeks (appx.). Do the test prep questions before each quiz and you'll be WELL prepared. 4 assignments that were all for the most part easy. Must go to class or else you lose 2/10 points on your quiz for each absence. Awesome class. Highly recommend for Intermediate Macro.

Easiest Micro professor out there. This was the easiest A i ever recieved in college. The exams come right off the practice exams and I ended up finishing with a 99. Textbook not needed and showing up to class isnt necessary just do the practice tests and youll be fine.

Takes forever to do practice problems, but they can help with understanding concepts. Don't really need to go to class, as long as you do the homework, and DO THE PRACTICE TESTS you can definitely get an A.

Professor Okada is in general a very nice teacher. His class isn't hard per say, however reading the textbook before each lecture is very helpful because during his lectures he doesn't really teach/explain concepts so much as go over practice problems. His lectures can get a bit slow/boring.

NO EXAMS. Quizzes about once a week, but if you pay attention in class, you'll get 100. There are assignments too, but those are also easy. Basically - as long as you go to class (which you have to, anyway), you will do well. He's also very patient and fair with his students. All and all, LOVE HIM.

This class is just proving basic econ theory with calculus. Really easy. Just go to class, take notes, and do the quiz prep questions he assigns and you will do well. Assignments were a bit harder but quizzes matter more anyways and they were super easy. He is amazing during office hours as well! Highly recommend!

This class is trivial if you can do derivatives. Every quiz is just taking the derivative of a given function and explaining what the result means using economics. There's a quiz almost every week, but there's no exams so the class is also pretty stress free. I've had over a 100 the whole semester. Easy A if you're confident with basic derivatives.

He teaches lectures slowly but clearly. If you just follow his lecture, you can get a good grade. Also, you can skip the class and just read the textbook. He gives some useful examples in class and provides clear handwriting. Good professor!

Great professor. Does quizzes instead of exams. If you follow along in lecture and do his practice probelms, youll be fine

Easiest Micro professor at Rutgers. Do the practice exams . Show up to class because Okada is cool.

He had really good lectures and I liked how he would color code the notes he projected from his iPad to the screen. Simultaneous to lectures were worksheets, which weren't mandatory but paralleled what he put on the tests. Tests aren't too bad provided you paid attention, understood the homework and did the worksheets/practice questions he put up.

He's a good man. His teaching style is pretty simple, he uses his ipad to project notes which is great. He answers every question we have. The homework is long but not impossible if you read the textbook. His tests are pretty straightforward if you do the study guides and packets he gives in class.

Professor Okada is an excellent professor for introduction to microeconomics. He doesn't really have too much homework and it is all easy using the online textbook. I probably skipped around a third or more of all classes and managed an A. I don't believe he curves but there is extra credit on the final. Easy course with a great professor.

Honestly was a really good and funny professor for intro to micro. His exams arent that difficult but theyre not easy. Hes helpful if you go to his office hours too. He gives extra credit on the final. Just make sure you do the homework its worth a lot and it could be very long. Would definitely take him again.

Lectures aren't the best, but copy down the information and pay attention. He gives practice exams for each chapter before the midterms and similar if not exact questions show up on the exams. Gives extra credit on the final and curved final grades by at least 5%. Put in a little effort and do your work and you'll get an A.

He is a solid professor. His lectures can be dry, but that's just the subject I guess. he explains all the concepts very clearly and will help you if you are confused. The tests are not overly difficult. As long as you do the homework and the review questions, you can get do well on the tests and get an A.

Professor Okada is super easy. I barely showed up to lecture and got A's for the exams. He gives chapter study guide questions to prepare for the exams which are basically the same questions you'll see on the exams. If you show up to the last class before the exam he'll tell you which questions are going to be on there. He's way better than elgawly

His grading criteria consisted of 2 midterms, a final, and homework. I showed up to maybe 3 lectures and still ended with an A. Okada posts practice exams loaded with questions a week before the actual exam. I would highly suggest running through these practice exams multiple times as the questions in these are the same as on the real exam.

Really good professor. Fairly interesting lectures (although you could probably skip them and read the book) and was always available to meet before exams. He would literally sit and answer all my questions. He gives lots of practice problems and explains them well. The exams are super straightforward if you do the practice.

Love this guy, I never showed up to class, but he put a very helpful practice exam that basically highlighted the entire exam. First choice for a micro professor

I hated the material in this class with a burning passion because of all the math but Prof Okada was the kindest human being in the entire world and that's how I managed to survive. He will bump up your grade if you're someone who shows you care by attending office hours like I did. Take his class!

He is a great professor. His asynchronous intermediate microeconomics section is pretty straightforward. You do have weekly quizzes and tests which are exactly like the homework. But don't slack off on the reading or work will pile up

This class is honestly easier than intro to micro i dont know why people hate on him so much but Okada taught so well that I barely had to read the textbook at all. His quizzes are pretty easy to as long as you do the practice problems he recommends. Overall a really good experience.

Okada was great, take him if you can.

Grading is grossly skewed. I'm guessing after the first few weeks, grades are set. He has to meet his quota on how many students receive As, Bs, etc. It's blatant, if you're in the B category and get something wrong on a quiz or exam, deducted points will be more than in an A category, if at all for A. A shame since the material was interesting.

Okada's class is challenging but engaging. The grading system seems a bit skewed, favoring some students over others. Still, the material is fascinating. Definitely use Unstuck ai and the free textbook to prepare - it really helps.

Good teacher. Always willing to help you understand topics. The topics themselves can be tricky. But as long as you understand the practice questions he gives for each quiz, you will probably get at least an 80 on the quiz. The final was not cumulative, and we got a cheat sheet.
