This teacher is okay. This guy is from Nigeria and he has a thick accent has is hard to understand sometimes. He can be funny at times, but most of the time, his lectures are him just rambling about the story trying to find a deeper meaning behind it when there really isn't one. Grades decently too.

Amazing professor! I will remember him forever, really cares about what he teaches and wants to help. If you think english literature is interesting, he's the one. His accent makes it hard to understand him and he basically gives you what the test will be over and reviews it with the class. He usually expects your answer to be what his was.

He was very unclear, assigned random papers when he told us at the beginning of the year we'd only be doing 4, did not teach helpful material, played videos he hadn't watched beforehand, took off points for not giving unasked material, and was (generally) clueless as to what he was doing. Take if you are a strong writer and can bite your tongue.

He's a pretty chill teacher, his accent is thick but he's still understandable. Only thing is that he rambles on forever about subjects to the deepest meanings and it gets super boring. He's also pretty helpful, like when majority of the class doesn't do his assignments he pushes back the due dates :)

His accent is really thick, so it is hard to understand what he is saying. He isn't clear when he teaches and makes it confusing to know what to do on the essays and tests. He is a disorganized teacher barely gives enough time to complete tests and can be rude and not helpful when asking about a grade you receive.

Professor Oti has a VERY thick accent. It is a such a struggle to even understand what he is saying that it adds another complication to an already challenging course. Doesn't post much on black board and email responses take days and if you are asking for help he doesn't say much. I remember when he made my class take a test within 10 minutes.

Prof. Oti has a rather confusing grading system. When writing papers be sure to have a clear thesis with the proper MLA format as well as proper articles. If you get a grade you feel is improper, then let him know and he may take it into consideration. Prof. Oti has a thick accent to some but I could understand him just fine. Good luck !

Professor Oti was okay. He has a really thick accent that makes it difficult for me personally to understand him, but it gets easier the more he talks. The one thing that severely bothered me was his own lack of proper grammar and spelling being as he is a COMP professor. And I've had to email him several times for clarification on assignments.

Taking away that one point, even when following the assignment's rubric, seems harsh when the point does make a difference in our average.
