Makes himself very approachable, which is good cause I didn't always understand what was covered in lecture.

His class is incredibly laid back, making it easy to ask questions. In fact, he seems to "wing" his lectures, and teaches in a "so yeah,whatever" style. Nevertheless, he is a good teacher. The assignments, quizzes, and tests are fair.

Really laid back, very open to discussions and questions in class (yes, even in a huge lecture hall). Explains stuff very well, and is very easy to listen to (not dry at all). Tests, hw, etc is all given by the department.

Omojokun's a great professor. Really laid back class. 1331 is straightforward and about 60% of it is AP Computer Science Material/Level of difficulty- however, it is not an easy class to get an A in. Practice Java , understand the concepts and do the homework. Getting a B is very easy, but OO will make you work for that A.

Very helpful professor, you can ask your questions during class and if you still don't get it, he'd offer to take your problems after class. And, he has a deep, interesting voice!

decent professor. knows what hes doing. 1371 seems like its gonna kill you, but its not so bad. paying attention helps. tests are always hard, but theres a huge curve + grade replacement on the final. hws take alot of time, but he explains what you need to do pretty well.

Good professor if you have never done any programming before. 99% of material on the tests and homework will be taught in recitation though so I mostly used lecture to do homework. Tests aren't even made by the professors, just as an fyi.

Solid professor. I came into the class with no coding experience and nearly pulled an A, and it was solely thanks to Omojokun's lectures. He gives clear, concise lectures that provide a good basis for the homework problems and provides plenty of PRS questions for practice. He's also really entertaining. The best option for 1371 in my opinion

Best of the 1371 professors. You don't need to know code before hand. He explains everything in terms that are easy to understand (no necessary jargon). Of course most of the important things are covered in recitation but I found Omojokun's lectures as good review.

Great 1371 professor! Unlike most people's experiences, I learned almost everything in lecture rather than recitation. If you do the homework and go to Omojokun's lectures, the class is easy, and I had no coding experience when I started.

lectures use humor and clicker feedbacks for the most part. summer classes can be too long for programming classes though, you can catch up with the book if you miss class

Makes lectures interesting with his examples and humor. He utilizes clicker questions, live coding examples, and the board to their full potential and thus explains concepts quite clearly. Homework is basically a small project every week, and extra credit is offered in the form of clicker questions.

Humor kept me awake during the long summer courses. Lectures were also example based which gave me a sense of accomplishment if I could do what he did.

Omojokun remembers students names which was cool to see in a large class. I didn't get an A due to the difficulty of learning to program without any prior experience. However, I'm thinking of switching to CS as a major after this class. Unfortunately it's not that easy to get in.

Wish I had him for 1331

This class was difficult, but one of the best I have taken at Tech. Projects were hard and can take up a lot of time, but they were graded very fair.

Gave lots of flexibility to allow teams to do what was best to get the project done. ZenHub requirement was sort of a bust, but I wished our team actually used it.

Took him for CS1331 in the summer. His explanations were very helpful but it doesn't hurt to google the murky concepts. His tests were also very fair and straightforward if you actually watched the lecture videos and did the homework on your own. He also gave grade replacements and extra credit on the final exam. 10/10 would highly recommend.

Had him for online CS1331. Everything is very clear and tests are straightforward.

His video modules contained all the information you needed for tests, and it was nice to be able to watch them multiple times in the online format. I found his videos quite engaging and funny, which really helped make the class interesting. Homeworks sometimes went beyond the modules, but the tests never had anything he didn't teach us. Great prof.

Tests were straightforward and tested mostly concepts that were stressed upon during lecture videos and coding that is mostly the same as the examples. Pun game is strong. Homeworks are made by the TAs and range from taking 1-2 hours to taking 6+ hours, and may require some googling/ stuff that's not entirely in the modules. Overall, good class.

Took him online. His video lectures are short and to the point, which is helpful. You have to do some Googling for the later HWs because not all info is in the videos. HWs took generally 2-6 hours, but otherwise weren't bad. For tests, closely study the content in the videos. You lose a lot of pts for silly mistakes so watch out but otherwise easy.

OO is a good prof, but the issue with CS1331 is more to do with the fact that the tests are notoriously awful. Lots of true/false and multiple-choice questions test seemingly random knowledge of java/OOP. Coding HW is pretty fun and not too hard if you put in the time. OO is a good lecturer and is organized. Only real difficulty comes from tests.

OO is a good choice for a CS professor who makes the most of the Online format. He doesn't have lecture videos and instead posts many videos for each topic that u watch at ur own pace. The homework would always be difficult, but the tests were always decently easier than the HW. Don't fall behind and start the homeworks early and you'll be fine.

I took an async class so there wasn't that much interaction with OO. However, TAs are very helpful. The homework assignments are sometimes long and require a lot of testing so you should start early. I found the class pretty easy mostly because I have taken several programming courses before.

I took the online section of his CS 1331 class and I found it to be pretty good! The exams are a bit unfair in my opinion, but that is the case for all CS 1331 classes, it's not a professor issue. Otherwise the structure of the online course is extremely good! It's self paced with hard deadlines enforced by homework. Overall, great class!

I liked the online async format -- short modules worked bc long lectures don't keep my attention all the time. OO himself interacts very less with the students but that's prolly bc of the nature of the course. TA's are helpful, so is HW. Tests, like others mentioned, can be a bit weird, but as long as you take notes, understand stuff, you're good!

Tough course, but great guy! Good lectures, very understanding, and super accessible.

I took 1331 with OO async in fall 2020. The grade weights when I took it were pretty bad and unfair imo. OO is a pretty good lecturer though. Paying close attention to the modules was the main way to pass the class. Homeworks and exams were fairly difficult and intensive. OO was fairly accommodating to students, apparently unlike other 1331 profs.

Entertaining lectures, which helps for a non-major like me

Dr. Omojokun taught this class jointly with Professor Huffman. She handled the lectures and Dr. Omojokun was there to help guide conversations and link course concepts to Computer Science. It was very helpful having him there. In my experience, he always responds to emails. Though, it might take him a day or so to respond.

It took while to get used to the async format but eventually got a hang of it genough to do decently in the class. There's lots of stuff covered in the class but the modules explain things pretty well.

Dr. Omojokun is an excellent professor who is very willing to help students succeed. His asynchronous format for 1331 is incredibly flexible and allows students to customize their study methods. Although the exams are tough and make up 80% of the grade, there are a number of extra credit opportunities given. I highly recommend taking his course.

Dr. Omojokun was a great lecturer and made his videos interesting. He clearly knows what he's talking about and makes concepts easy to understand. However, his homework took a minimum of 6 hours, and there was a new one every week (only 15% of the grade). The tests were incredibly difficult too, and they tested things that he mentions in passing.

I took the asynch fall semester. His videos and modules are amazing and well produced and the course is flexible. Homework takes a long time (6-8 hours) and is graded kinda harshly. You might have to figure out on your own. Exams were alright, on the harder side. Some qs I didn't like were from brief and specific parts of the module.

In Prof. Omojokun's asynchronous class, there were multiple online modules in Canvas, which stored pre-recorded lecture videos to explain each of the OOP concepts in-depth with helpful examples. To succeed, take notes from each video, design your own test cases for the homework, and practice answering questions from the study guide! Good luck! :)

You have to keep on with this class because homework takes a while. Overall, this class is convenient since it's ASYNC.

Prof. Omojokun is concise and the async lectures have no rambling, and he tries to keep it entertaining. The HWs actually utilize the taught concepts but takes a lot of time. The grading structure is awful, HWs are 20%, midterms are 54% and the final is 26%. The tests confusingly require memorization of an entire structure of a class/random facts.

took async, material was good, homework was manageable. Tests can be difficult if not studied well for, but extra credit on final helps.

I honestly liked this section. Async lecture videos were straightforward, short, and concise. I wasn't prepared for the exams to be kinda difficult, but I think it's just CS1331 in general where you have to memorize stupid things. STUDY for the exams and actually take notes from the videos!!

Very accessible and student-friendly asynch format. For most assignments, we could see our grade immediately on Gradescope, even if there were hidden tests. I do wish his TAs provided more information like study guide answers ahead of exams, but overall I would definitely take Omojokun again.

TAs and piazza were super helpful/responsive, video lectures made complex topics easy to digest, exams not surprising or out to trick you, HWs+study guides+recitation+taking notes on videos/taking time to actually understand material = success in class. start hw at least 3 days early to be able to ask questions & get help. overall a solid class

The convenience of this class is what sold me on it originally, but I was not prepared for it to be much more difficult exam-wise than the in-person section. Take notes and study a lot! Answer keys for study guides weren't released, making the class harder than it needed to be. There needs to be more difficult examples in the lectures too.

Plenty of extra credit to make up for early screwups, especially in the final create-x project which was fun.

You get to learn more than programming which is cool if you've already had experience coding in high school.

Homeworks are projects, so plan accordingly. There were 8 this summer and after the 4th one, they require about a week so don't waste time like I did. Thankfully he drops the lowest HW and gives extra credit. Otherwise I would have gotten a B

The async course is pretty good. I prefer this method over in person. The only set back is the HW. It jumps in difficulty very early in the semester. The TA's are a lifesaver and the lectures are short and straight to the point. I would 100% take this course again and other async cs classes.

The tests were a time crunch but fair and the HW were pretty easy. The prerecorded lectures are entertaining and go pretty slow too.

The workload was decent. I would recommend getting the prerecorded lectures done early in the week so you have a lot of time to do the homework. That being said, the TAs heavily influence the experience of the class and it isn't great. Grades are due on the 6th and I still don't have grades back from months ago. Either way, it's a good course.

The tests are fair but a time crunch. HWs can take a decent amount of time so start early!

I was in the online section. His videos and canvas modules in general were pretty high-quality. There was no book requirement but it's worth getting the one he recommends. Recitation is key, especially for JavaFX if you have a Mack.

Online videos were pretty entertaining. Maybe one module too much for an intro course.

Comprehensive & challenging homework coding exercises, which had a lot of edge conditions that needed to be accounted for - but is also a great litmus for testing one's knowledge. I do wish there were a textbook recommended in the syllabus as going purely off the videos & lessons can be a bit difficult.

The homework was really the only way I learned the information well and could apply and implement it. I didn't have any Java experience prior. The videos are decent, but if you really want to learn the information you'll need to do a lot of studying. Tests are very hard if you don't study, so prep well in advance. TAs give you lots of worksheets.

I thought the course set was extremely informative and easy to follow. Additionally, the presentation of diagrams to illustrate the inner workings of certain Java concepts allowed me to grasp ideas quicker as a student who has no prior CS experience. The professor very clearly cares about the subject matter and the homework is thought-provoking

I finally understand Big O!!!

I took the online class as a Dual Enrollment student. I thought his pre-recorded lectures were pretty good but you may need to use youtube every once in a while to clear up understanding. Not much interaction with him, but from what I got, he seems like a great teacher.

Adequate difficulty for an introductory class. Your grade will heavily depend on exam grades. Most of it is review if you have taken AP Computer Science A.

Never saw OO, but our TAs were amazing. The lectures were all pre-recorded and released on Canvas. One hw due every week (helps you pace yourself really well). Grade depends a LOT on exams; sometimes they're really confusing (topics not covered in recitations or emphasised in lectures), but are similar to past exams (get them from friends!!)

I probably squeaked by with my A. I was worried about doing the course online, but he does a decent job simplifying complex topics though some topics are probably more advanced for a intro programming course than needed. I'm guessing he doesn't define the required topics to cover though.

Professor Omojokun's lectures were wonderful and I recommend taking his classes. The class projects were really good and they were closely related to his lectures so if you are stuck with the projects, you should go back and watch the lectures again. You will learn a lot by finishing them and passing all the tests from the projects.

Tough class and lots to learn but offers flexibility at the end.

Learned way more than I thought having taken a prior Java class. Programming projects can be time consuming but he gives flexibility in submissions and extra credit.

I took the async version of 1331, and the course felt fair. The videos were a digestible length for every concept, and the homework assignments never asked too much of me.

I took online 1331 with professor OO and I'd say he's a good professor. He's got a good sense of humor and his lectures are good too (I'd put his videos on 1.5x speed if I were you). I highlight extra credit because the final Java FX assignment provides 60 points worth of extra credit! There's a decent amount of HW but nothing besides that.

I enjoyed the valuable materials taught by professor Fisayo in this course, Java Object Oriented Programming is deep and challenging but yet this course uses examples learning approach to makes it a little easier to understand, I would like to thank professor Fisayo for his hard work on this course.

Dr. O.O. is the goat. The class itself is fully online and can be confusing/difficult at times, and the exams can be difficult. Hw sometimes either easy or extremely tedious. However, prof is super chill even if he isn't very active in the class. Would recommend out of any other 1331 teacher.

Dr. Omojokun uses very simple and clear examples throughout the lectures, which makes complex notions such as recursion or abstraction easy to understand. The homework might take some time to solve but overall Dr. Omojokun provides students with very informative and clear content. His lectures are a lot of fun too!

I virtually studied CS1331 which was instructed by Professor Fisayo. He conveyed the course clearly by demonstrating Java code writing and testing on many exercise cases. His teaching style is rigorous and humorous. I look forward to learning more courses from him along the journey to pursue a master's degree in computer science.

He's friendly and invites online students to meet up for lunch since. Final project was big learning experience. I finally wrote a program I could show off.

Learned a lot about OOP concepts in this course. I recommend this class over the other 1331 offerings. Homework is offered once a week. Make sure you're doing it & understand it, as your exams are very code-heavy.

I took the online version of the class presented on edX. Would recommend as a great starting point to Java/OOP. The homework can be a little challenging, but ultimately doable. Having an assignment at the end of each module reinforces practicing Java syntax and thinking from an object-oriented perspective. Definitely felt like I learned a lot.

Professor Omojokun presents course material in a clear manner with plenty of examples and a few jokes as well. All new material discussed is built upon previous coursework which helps to maintain a steady flow of learning and a consistent thought process. If you need assistance, Professor Omojokun is willing to help and provide guidance!

Online course, however, exams were in person and on paper. HWs were difficult, but as long as you watched lecture videos, they were doable. Lots of resources outside of class if you need help. Overall, a great course, but sometimes, you don't get the answers you need. All of the profs that teach 1331 seem average, but Professor O was pretty good.

The class can be challenging, but Professor Omojokun presents the material clearly with examples. Engaging with the content and using resources like unstuckstudy for study prep helped me learn a lot. Overall, a valuable introduction to Java and OOP.

Prof. Omojokun was a great presence to have in class, and overall made it more enjoyable and engaging. However, when he wasn't there it made him feel missed in class, and made me wish we saw more of him in CS4010. Nevertheless, a very good professor.

Professor Omojokun's lecture videos were clearly presented and well-enunciated, making them easy to follow. The homework assignments were appropriately challenging, and really push you to apply what you learned. As long as you go through the material, you will be able to do the homework with no problem. This was a great introductory class.

This course was relatively easy but informative. The profs responsible for the course did their best to create engaging lecture videos coupled with little skits, so it was more enjoyable to watch than most classes.

Prof. Omojokun's course was invaluable! As an undergrad, I struggled with OOP concepts, but this class clarified key fundamentals and boosted my confidence. Its rigor proved online learning's effectiveness, inspiring me to apply for OMSCS. His humor made lectures engaging and memorable. I highly recommend his class! 😊

Overall solid experience: clear lecture videos, lengthy but relevant HW assignments, and difficult tests. I wish that the class incorporated a project grade or exams that allow you to run and test code (like Joyner's online 1301 class). My main gripe is that exams took SUPER long to grade and often weren't available until 5 weeks after the test.

I took the online course for flexibility. Tests were in person though, so it's not fully online. He does try to meet students out in campus, which is nice but I was only able to make once. The last homework made the class totally worth it.

What people say about the grading is true. It's dependent on a few exams. I think the lectures and the practice makes up for this. I did the bare minimum: lectures (no notes but followed along) and did the practice exam the day of the test and got a low A. I'm not a CS major so I'm unsure how he is for the advanced courses they have to take.

The video lectures are easy to understand and follow along with, but grading at times can be harsh and somewhat unfair. For example, most of the homework is fully auto-graded, meaning that, if you have a single typo in a print statement, you can lose 20+ points on the assignment for failing tests. The majority of tests are hidden, as well.

I took Dr. Omojokun's CS 1331 class via edX. The professor did a great job by making the video lectures both thorough and engaging to suit the online format. His explanation of the four pillars were just what I needed to understand the actual, tangible benefits of the OOP paradigm. Dr. Omojokun was very responsive when I reached out for help.

I came into this with just an Intro to C course. This Java class broke down complex concepts clearly. Despite being fully online, Professor Fisayo was accessible and responsive. His passion for teaching shows in his lectures and makes the course enjoyable. I'd take him again if possible.

With experience in other programming languages, I found the course did an excellent job of helping me apply my existing knowledge to Java's specific implementation. The lectures were well-structured and easy to follow. The inclusion of regular homework and quizzes was helpful for reinforcing the concepts and ensuring the knowledge stuck.

Professor Omojokun explains challenging concepts in a clear manner and provides lot of examples. He builds up on the concepts at a good pace. The homeworks were very interesting and included building popular games like battleship. He also goes the extra mile to provide recommendations for OMSCS applicants based on their performance in CS1331.

He is good at teaching the earlier material and gives helpful advice when asked. However, some of the later units were harder to comprehend, the homework is unnecessarily difficult, and grades are delayed for 1-2 weeks making it kinda frustrating.

I took him for GT cs dual enrollment, and he was a pretty good.

Took 1331 for dual enrollment, class is pretty much run by TA's. Final grade is pretty much just your tests and final, so you will have to prepare for the tests. Tons of extra credit on the last homework and the final, which helps a ton. Pacing for the tests is a bit fast, but other than that not too bad of a class.

Great Professor!

I took this class online with the Distance CS program my senior year of HS. Professor is nice and lecture videos are well structured. Make sure to review all the details, however, as exams are super detail oriented. Homeworks are the worst thing about this class, they take ages to complete and have a million hidden test cases.
