Really nice guy, kinda hard to understand what he says when he talks because of his accent. Lectures everyday so take notes, reviews for all the tests, if you have any questions about anything at all he will answer them, explains everything. I only said difficult because I suck at math, but I passed with a C even though I thought I'd fail.

It is quite a bit of homework but he uses WebAssign which helps a lot. He does offer some extra credit. The only con is that he doesn't allow laptops. I got a B.

Really the only good thing about him is that he has multiple-choice tests when most other cal 2 professors don't. His exams are on average 37 questions for very difficult material, and is not accesible outside of class as he rarely answers emals.

Save your GPA! He is such a stubborn jerk and very difficult to talk to. He doesn't care about your opinion and will yell at you if you keep telling him he's wrong with something. All his lectures are 100% wrong and he always messes up. You will lose points if you use a method to solve problems on YouTube because it has to be his way of solving

Professor Osifodunrin was not present for the first two weeks of class. When he returned, he tried to explain all of those 2 weeks plus another week in one lecture. He was hard to understand, and he never asked if we had any questions. He would just do example problems instead of actually explaining how to solve things. I dropped out after a month.

Do not take this class if you value your mental health. He does not curve, when you ask questions he never lets you finish, doesn't respond to emails, goes over questions in an off-brand Zoom called Cisco-Webex that aren't even questions tested over. If you take this class, good luck and be sure you do all the homeworks and discussion board posts.

This professor is actually nice despite the reviews. He responds to emails on time and caring in his responses. His tests are not extremely difficult, you need to understand the concepts in the textbook, do the homework and the quizzes. The quizzes help a lot on the test, but you still need to read and understand the concepts as much as you can.

I took the 4-week class. Many homework assignments and quizzes are due every day. Your hands and face have to be visible during exams and quizzes at all times, or you won't get a grade. Four exams and one final; the lowest grade gets dropped. Pop quizzes during live sessions for attendance; if more than 3 are missed, he will drop you.
