A little hard to understand but an awesome professor!

One of the best I've ever had

I like her. She is fair. Her quizes can be difficult if you don't read the chapter and do the online quiz, but quizes only count 20% of your grade and she lets you drop the lowest quiz grade. She gives a lot of bonus. She is the best pol science instructor at CSU. I think she is great. TAKE HER....

I read the other comments listed, and some of the comments are not true. She doesn't show favoritism, and she doesn't grade you on whether or not you agree with her political standpoints. She is very fair. On the midterm and final, she tells you what questions to study. Some of these other students are in hater's mode. Her english is not that great

She is a great teacher . Her test are easy the come from the online learning center you only have one group project. You will have alot of quizs. Her test are easy cause she give you the study guide. For the essay she give a cheat sheet. highly recommended Partipate easy A on exams final will depend on your particpation.Would take her again.

She has a passion for what she believes, unfortunately she's completely wrong at least 50% of the time but she listens and she grades very fairly; for that reason she's a great teacher with the best sense of humor.

Hard class because of unit quizes (so you have to read) but she has a sense of humor and is nice. She def. is liberal and I felt it in my best interest to write my essays toward her opinions. I wouldn't be totally opposed to taking another class with her.

Great professor! Some of these people are just lazy or too critical. This is college, so yes you are going to have to work for your grade. Learned a lot in her class, she knows a lot. She is helpful and funny. I have taken her 3 times. As long as you show effort and study you will do fine.

THE COURSE WAS INTERESTING. HER TEST WERE A BIT HARD, BUT OVERALL I ENJOYED THE MATERIAL THAT WE COVERED

Fairly easy. The only real grades are unit quizzes, the midterm and final. The unit quizzes are ten questions. Just listen during the lectures and do the practice quizzes online. Most of the questions on the quizzes come from the online practice and not the actual book or lecture.

I took her as a joint enrollment student (meaning i'm also in high school)and it was just like a challenging high school class. there are 5 quizzes and 4 are SUPER easy. the midterm was also very easy and the final was alright. I mean it is a college class. I would reccomend her! DONT LOOK AT THE RATINGS OF THE ONE UUNDER THIS.. OBVIOUSLY I DID IT

She was a little hard to understand. I really enjoyed her and her tests were straight forward. She tells you exactly what is going to be on the test.

Many comments that I read concerning issues that individuals had concerning courses with her are daft and untrue. She does not show favortism, nor does she attempt to pass a political agenda in her courses. Some comments written here stand as a means to scare students away from this professor. Also, most of the negativity here was simply ignorant.

Just do what she say to do?. she's very clear on what her requirements are, and very helpful if you just ask. I took a 100% online course on Global Issues with her, she seems like a sweet, organized, dedicated instructor.

Pretty good teacher, knows her material. The book is useless, don't even buy it, just go to lectures. If you can't handle accented English, spare everyone the chore of listening to you whine about her accent, she's totally understandable.

This class was very difficult for me. She would lecture over a chapter, but the test would actually be over another chapter that we had to go read in the book and learn ourselves. Im guessing she did this to cover more material. She requires you to come to class and you better not get caught texting. She will drop you a letter grade.

I have taken several classes with Dr. Okura. She has such a great way of teaching and whatever the course I always end up going home and still discussing it and researching it. There is a lot of interaction in class which is great. As long as you do the readings, don't get on her bad side, and are open minded you will love her!

Mrs. Okura is not a bad teacher. The class can be difficult if you don't try. The test are challenging but not impossible to pass. There are only 2 test, 5 quizzes, and 1 video project. The quizzes can be really easy if you read the book. The test have some quiz questions on there. And she drops the lowest quiz grade

Dr. Okura's is a great professor. As long as you study hard for the tests and also read the chapters before quizzes, you will pass the class.

This is one of the easiest classes I've ever taken. Show up, take notes, and read the book before quizzes. She will tell you everything you need to know. A lot of people whine about their grade because they don't STUDY. Just study. It's not that hard.

Easy class, Great teacher. Her accent is pretty thick but I could understand her. Gives a lot of extra credit opportunities. Just be sure to READ before each test!

Great class for Pols1101. Thick accent but you can understand her. LOTS of ways to win extra credit so READ and LISTEN, AND BE SURE TO PARTICIPATE!! EASY Class if you try!

Quizzes are easy if you study the definitions in back of book for each chapter and read over chapter before quizzes (only 10 questions each) Tests you have to study the quizzes you took. She does have an accent but you should not have a problem understanding her. She is very nice.

Very nice teacher and easy class. There are 5 quizzes that are 10 questions each but she drops your lowest quiz grade and uses only the highest 4. You must read the chapter that the quiz is on in order to do well. Besides the quizzes, you have a midterm, final, and a propaganda project that is very easy as long as you follow directions.

Okura is a great teacher. I took Pol 1101 and made an A. Although her English isn't very clear she communicates everything you need to do on syllabus in both classes. She gives extra credit to your overall grade for doing simple things such as perfect attendance. Go to tutorials and get extra points on exams. Great teacher.

She was a very nice and helpful teacher. If you participate in class, she gives extra points and if you have perfect attendance. She made the material fun to learn because the whole time she didn't stand and lecture. I am taking her again next semester for another class.

I liked this professor a whole lot. She's very pleasant and cares about how you do. Lectures are interesting and she makes the class more fun in general. She also gives lots of opportunities for extra credit. I would definitely take her class again.

Professor Okura is very knowledgable. I enjoyed her teaching method. She provides the class with interesting and controversial material that allows students to critically think about our government system. I wish I would have taken her class in the Fall. Summer didn't seem like enough time for such an interesting class. She is effective and fair.

I loved Dr Okura! One of my favorite professor at CSU. I would definitely take her class again if given the chance.

very sweet and and easy A. Just come to class and do the discussions and take notes on the handouts. You have one film paper to write and 5 quizzes over readings each week.

Took this class for Maymester and it was an interesting class! There were 3 LONG (15 pages) assignments and a 4 page paper. It was time consuming and you definitely must put forth some effort, but not too bad. Very glad I took this class because I was skeptical at first. It is A LOT of material though.

fill out the note guides. do the reading for the reading quizzes. participate to get extra credit and have perfect attendance for an extra 5 points on overall grade. easy A.

Great professor, knows what shes talking about and is passionate about it. I am confused on how this professor has such low rating - I'm very glad I ignored them and took her class anyway. If you simply show up and pay attention, she essentially gives you all the answers to her entirely multiple choice quizzes. It's really not that difficult.

I took two of her classes, and in my opinion, her classes are easy. All you have to do is do the assignments and the readings. This class was very interesting to me. In my experience, I would take her class again. However, one thing I will say is she could've bumped up my grade by less than one point to get an A lol.

I enjoyed her online courses. Every week consisted of 1 video, quiz, and video annotations. Very easy and interesting class.
