He is a good teacher. Hard to understand at times, but knows what he is talking about. Pay attention, test are from the text. Keep up with the assignments and you'll do just fine.

The 1st thing I noticed while in his class was his thick Nigerian accent which makes it difficult to understand him. The 2nd thing I noticed was his bad temper when students would ask questions when they didn't understand what he had just said. He doesn't make it clear how he wants an assignment done and when its due. Frustrating!! Avoid!!

I took PoliSci as an online class. A lot of reading with quizes and activities (streaming videos, interactive scenarios, etc.) for each chaper as a big part of the grade. I actually found the "write a letter to your representative" assignment kind of interesting. Easy class if you have the self-discipline for the pace of an online class.

This professor isn't for everyone he's very hands on and involved in the learning process. If participation isn't your thing this class won't be either. lots of group work and it's all about talking and working with other people. He's a very nice teacher but if you're independent in your studies this class might be a bit rough.

He is really caring and gives great feedback. At the moment we switched to online because of COVID-19. He has been very helpful by pushing back due dates, giving bonus points, and continues to care about us and our family. In class, attendance is important and assignments are easy.

Prof. Obazuaye is a really sweet guy! Did not have any assignments other than like 3 larger group projects (picked groupmates at the beginning of the semester and had to stick with them) and weekly chapter reading quizzes. Very gracious with the online format of the class/pandemic. Lectures were kinda useless so be prepared to research on your own!

On the first day of school, he informs you about the research project due around a month before the end of the semester. He was so nice to extend the due date a week later if you ask him. The syllabus basically tells you what to write in each paragraph and sentence for the research paper (so useful). Quizzes/ exams are due every Friday in Pearson.

Prof Obazuaye truly cares about your success in his class and in general, but I will admit his course isnt easy. If youre taking this class, I recommend taking with friend(s) because the entire class is group-based (4 ppl) aside from tests. If you cant rely on your group, good luck. Really tough grader on papers so be ready to give your best.

It's mandatory to use Revel ($80). He can use Canvas, but he's lazy, Revel does most of the grading. His Teacher's Aid Sumaia, actually did the lecturing, which I find ironic because I learned more from her than the Professor. Obazuaye can be funny but also has biases. Critical grader. If your group is failing, tough S%$ you can't leave the group.

A super easy class with straightforward, short quizzes based on short videos. There are 3 reports that are based on research, but are very easy. He is super picky with grammar and wants detailed assignments, so make sure to triple-check your work. Be prepared to pay a minimum $80 for Pearson, where the quizzes and textbook are.

TBH, he's a good professor, but it's hard to learn. Textbook was around 150 and we haven't used it once, but rather than having slideshows and a proper lecture just yaps the whole class.. also does way too much calling out so if you're shy/ don't like being put on the spotlight this isn't the class for you. (speaking from personal experience)
