Mr. Obazuaye is a great teacher. He is very helpful and gives you a review before any exam. Just study the exam and you will have it made for the test. If I took it in the summer and got a B anybod can.
DO NOT TAKE HIS ONLINE CLASS!!! its harder than a regular class, but he is a good teacher in a regular classroom setting, just not on an online class. The tests are over what you read in the book and also the roundtable discussions only. THe assignments are easy. all in all good teacher!
His assignments are easy and reasonable.. but i guess because its an online class the test is ridiculous and hard..... you need to have like the whole book memorized in order to get a good grade on the test... i do not recommend his online course unless you kno politic science well
Good teacher, but he has a really strong Nigerian accent so it makes it difficult to understand, however the way he pronounces some words and tries to use american sayings make the class really funny.
i hate pol. but he is easy gives extra credit but some times hard to understand sometimes but easy
He is a very nice man and his class is easy if you just do all the homework. The homework is your test he doesnt even change it a around. But, however if you take him dont take him once a week because it is too much information to remember.
BORING! He doesn't keep your attention. Random facts that are usless to the course. I got though this class with my High School Senior Government Notebook. One good point of this class - it is mostly memorizing terms and concepts. Not a lot of thought
he was a good teacher. to me he was easy even thought i got a C. he don't take roll soo its ok to miss class once and a while, i had a 89% but dropped to a C because i stopped going to class. he will come out with funny comments all of a sudden. i didn't like political science but once i took he i learned a few things. TAKE THIS GUY!!! hes cool!!!
This guy is the worst teacher I have ever had. His tests are vague and wrought with errors. You will be lucky to survive. Abandon hope all ye who take his class.
Made the class very interesting. Take good notes because the exams are primarily focused on the lectures. I learned a lot from taking his class.
Arrghh... An okay guy, but a very boring teacher. His first 15 minutes of lecture is him trying to get his laptop running. His assignments are difficult. I was avg. an A after a few weeks, but I still dropped myself out because I couldn't stand it in his class anymore.
you've got to DIG DEEEEEEP in his class cause he has that nigerian accent. he also makes funny faces when he tries to talk.
i hate him :(
This class is great to take online. As long as you do all your assignments you'll do fine. And for the exams, if your good at looking up answers from a book without reading you'll get an easy A. He also responds quick to all your emails. I only saw him once during orientation and he was very funny. I thought he spoke pretty good.
He is a great professor...People stop nagging, just do his work and you will get an easy A. Maybe people who talk bad about him are not made for college. This is not high school anymore, GROW UP
Mr. Obazauye was very strict and though his accent was cool it was hard to understand him. His online tests were very simple.But the projects he makes you do are hard.
Great teacher. I had no interest in political science at all what so ever. I felt that he took interest in his students success. He does have an accent but it is not difficult to grasp what he is saying. The class is fun if you are willing to participate and ask questions.
Interesting guy but I got a B on the final and a A on the major paper. If you know your**** and you do bad on the homework, which is all due online. Then you will do crappy in this class like I did. I turned in everything. If you have problems with internet for get this class you will fail.
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. He gives opportunities for extra credit throughout the semester(usually involves a one page paper). Overall a good professor.
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.
I took Pol Sci 101 online, and it was one of the easiest classes I've had. All you have to do is read the chapter, and study a little, and you will get an A. All the tests are open book and the modules are very easy. Just print out the questions before going through the module and answer the questions as you go. Also, he replies to email quickly.
I took his International Relations and Comparative Government class.As long as you attend class and he sees that you are trying hard , you will get an A. His pop quizes count as extra credit. People who do all the extra credit assigments have over 110% in the class before taking the final.
I have had him for comparative the year before, i found him to be very easy. Just attend class, read the book and do the Project and your guaranteed an A in his classes...participate in class discussions
Took the online class-very organized instructor. Follow the syllabus and keep up with assignments and you'll get an "A". I'd highly recommend this instructor.
I am currently taking this Online Class. This class is so easy. Read the book, do the quizzes and assignments and you will get an A. He answers email very quick. Love the class, hope all my online classes were like this one.
He's class is very fun, its open for discussion, as long as you participate in the discussion, you'll be fine!!!!
I thoroughly enjoyed Dr. Obazuaye's class. If you approach learning and school like an adult you will do good, if not you probably won't do good. Seem's to have a passion for his students success and gives good tips for a prosperous life.
OMG. WTF? Easiest A I've ever gotten. IMO, his online class is TOO easy. Poli Sci is alright. There's some interesting stuff to learn about. Take his online class, easy assignments and quizzes/exams are piece of cake. You have like 2 hours or so to answer 30-50 questions. So no need to read book, just look for answers while you're taking the test.
very good teacher, very helpful. if you need help go to his office and he will help you out until you have it down. class is easy as long as you read the book.
very good teacher, very helpful. if you need help go to his office and he will help you out until you have it down. class is easy as long as you read the book.
This class is super easy. OMG just do your reading. Online tests are easy. Come on, you have your book man! How hard can it get? The final is easy the study guide is the test.
I took his online class & omg it was so easy! The tests r pretty str8 forward & questions r str8 out the book! Google it if u cant find the answer. In person he has an accent which might be hard to understand so I recommend his online class.
Easy class. He has an accent though and he tells you himself he does so it might be hard to understand him. His test are easy. They are online test and you get to have your book with you. Couple of projects but they are easy. No need of stress. I really recommend him.
Im a polisci major and unfortunately, Dr.Obazuaye is the only professor that teaches these courses otherwise I would advise you to try and skip him not because of his harsh accent, but because of his useless lectures which are right off the book!! Bottom Line: take polisci 210, 220 at another school not cerritos
a good professor.if you dint care about your grade he wont either.if your involved in the class you will do great.he is passionate aboutthe class.if he can help in any way he will do so
EXCELLENT! EXCELLENT! Once you get passed the accent, you're golden. He's a GREAT teacher. As long as you complete ALL your assignments, take good notes and study for the class, you WILL get nothing less then a B. I loved this class/professor, the book is not needed just use the book online. I got an A because I DID ALL THE ASSIGNMENTS.
his class is not bad, i have to say. but maybe i took in the summer ,so everything goes too fast and he has a strongly accent which makes me really uncomfortable in class.it is hard to understand. he also likes tomake some wierd noise in the class, i hate it! his accent is already hard to listen plus the weird noise, it is even hard to understand.
Easiest On-Line I've ever taken. Totally recommend his on-line course, no need to read the book just look up the answers for the test.
Do your work and you will pass the exams are based off the book so if you don't read you will fail
Obazuaye is a funny because of his accent and the way he says words. test are alrite, but you gotta read, but he gives you study guide and that will help. online assignments are a freebie since you can take it as many times until you get the 100% Recommend if you can handle a boring but easy class. Cool guy tho
I had to force myself to come to class because his class was just that annoying and pointless. I felt like I could do a better job teaching myself at home. I don't think I've ever been more irritated by the way someone emphasizes their words!
his accent is funny and he has a very bland and straight forward personality, but if u go to him during office hours he will help you. read the book and study!!
Very unclear on what is expected on assignments.
Great professor! Knows the subject well and is willing to help students with anything even if it is not related to class. If you want to learn politics Dr. Obazuaye is the perfect instructor!
very easy teacher. he has an accent so just ask him what he said if you do not understand. very funny made my day every class
Taking his online class right now. Read the chapters to take the test.There is a paper to do (which is not hard at all) and online quizzes (EZ. However, he makes you go to writing workshops which for me I couldn't attend which cost about 5pts per non-attendance.Makes you show up on campus B 4 class starts. Not bad at all!
Dr Obazuaye is a great professor. the course is amazing and he really makes sure you learn something. participation is a key part of the class and its the funnest. make some friends and study together the finals is hard only if you wing the class.GO HIS OFFICE HOURS it helps a lot . over all he is the best political science professor.
I took 220 and am currently in 210. The set up is basically the same. If you are a polisci major, he's way more positive than the other professors. Class isn't "easy" but it's not difficult. In all honesty, if do every assignment, you will atleast get a B. I got an A but it was earned.
Lectures were boring and hard to understand due to his heavy accent. He can be very strict and very blunt. Overall, he was nice but intimidating.
great teacher, really knows his subject. he is extremely helpful when you go to office hours. he is tough but not to make life miserable just to empower you, greatest polsc teacher i've ever had still remember what he taught.
He really cares about his students and one time started tearing up because he felt the class didn't care about him teaching. His tests are straight from the online homework practice post-tests, if you study those you'll be fine. I got like 49/50 on almost all my tests because I just memorized the post-tests.
I never used the book but i printed out all the post tests online and memorized them and got A's on all the tests. The lectures are boring so if you want to leave class early you can but you may run the risk of losing points (10)if he does a group activity and you're not there to take part in it.
great class all homework is done online. very passionate about what he teaches. have to be in class to receive points for group work because he doesn't give a specific date.
Easiest online class ever. Buy the access code that comes with an online version. It's much easier to use because the tests are all open book and you can easily search the answers in the textbook and online. No final either. He accepted everyone who came to the orientation, so if you're in need of more units, this is the class to take.
He is very passionate about the subject and really wants you to learn. Study the online quizzes because he takes questions from there for the exam. Avoid buying the textbook just use the etext with the access code. He takes attendance but lectures are really boring at times.
Dr. O is a great professor! He is so passionate about PoliSci and always goes above and beyond to help his student succeed in his class. He's slightly hard to understand but very thorough and concise. Overall I would definitely recommend:)
Professor O is the best! he isn't an easy professor at all but pushes you to be the best. I took him for all my poly sic upper divs and transferred out and went to a UC. Because of his teaching manner and difficultly it really helped when transitioning.
i took this online but based on his behavior during the orientation i guess i should've tried for the traditional section. seems very no-nonsense & super organized. online class required some work but it wasn't super time consuming. the papers you have to write are super easy.
I am poli sci major and I took this as one of my poli sci major requirement. I took poli sci 101 online and never bought the book or even bother to read the chapters. I goggled all the questions and found it on quizlet. I passed with "A" but learned absolutely nothing. He accepts late work! very easy A.
best prof eveeeeeeeer. I am foreign student and I used to have no idea about politics and government. but after this class I got all the bases. if you no nothing about pol take him and ask him for every thing even if the question out of his syllabus. read the syllabus carefully and you going to get easy A+
Great professor! Took an online class at Cerritos. He sets up a class orientation so that students can get familiar with the course. Had to come in a couple of times during office hours on certain subject matter. He was very open and had great enthusiasm for the subject. Submit your quizzes, show enthusiasm and you'll get a desirable grade.
Pretty awesome professor! You have to work for your grade but the assignments are easy. Homework is online and a weekly thing. Does allow you to turn in late work, and get ready to read. Exams are exactly the same as the study guide. Would definitely recommend
This is a really easy class to pass if you do all your work. Test are an easy A if you study. I would definitely recommend him.
The book is extremely expensive and also requires an access code. A lot of exams sometimes 3 per week and quizzes too (I took the 9 week course)! I think it was easy if I was only dedicated to school and wasn't also working full time. If you have the time definitely go for it.
His class is pretty straight forward. You should read the book to get a better grade. Has online hw and quizes that are open book. Finals are same as study guide you just got to make sure you get the right answers.
Awesome Professor. You have to work for the grade but the assignments are very easy. Homework is online which is a weekly thing and its open book, open notes, and open online. Get ready to read the chapters. Exams are exactly like the study guides. He gives opportunity for extra credit. You have to write a report which is just 4-5 pages long.
Professor Obazuaye offers extra credit opportunities, and gives study guides which are essentially similar to the exam, you have online classes but if you read and watch the videos you will do great.
This professor is really into politics. All he wants is to teach younger generations about it. I learned a lot from his class. He is always trying to make jokes, sometimes they are funny. if he says to look up something for homework I suggest you do it. He might put you on the spot. doesn't give much He. Online quizzes are easy.
Great professor! Although he does not cover much in our hour class, he posts the lectures on Talonnet. You MUST purchase access code and do the homework that is due weekly. He also assigns other things and puts exactly what he expects you to do! Participation is key, try bringing to class political news! You will get the grade you earned!
I took this online class, its okay test every week but some of the test are not even in the book that's the downside of the online classes. other than that not too bad of a class. I would recommend it
His online class is simple to follow. There are two quizzes and one exam per week. Also, he provides extra credit. I would definitely recommend his class. He replies promptly and answer any question thoroughly.
Obazuaye is inspirational, caring and gives many opportunities to see you succeed. He wants his students to comprehend,take his lectures seriously and use what is learned every where anyone goes. He is an amazing person.
He is such a passionate professor, he really loves what he does. he wants the younger generation to learn about politics. the exams are exactly like the study guide. if he says to look something up, you must or he will put you on the spot. I loved his class, he offers plenty of extra credit. I would definitely recommend this class!
Very passionate about what he teaches. Class is overall pretty easy if you do your work and study. Class time is used for lectures and notes. Occasional group work Homework is due online every week. And he gives about four exams which are very easy. He gives you a study guide that is the same exact thing as the test. STUDY!!!
Prof. Obazuaye was not a tough grader at all. Took online class and he was a pretty good help. There was a quiz and test for almost every chapter that was read from book. Poli Sci is not really my subject but I would have to say that Prof. Obazuaye was a really good teacher. Totally recommend him.
do your homework and you pass, talk to him and he will pass you, has an accent but is understood. he lets you know about scholarships, cares about your future.. really cool would take again. i got the book opened it a few times, online hw, provided a tutor which was helpful.
Class was pretty easy just do the homework assignments and study for his exams. He's a great teacher just pay attention during class.
He is the definition of a tough grader. You have to work for it. No exams. Attendance is a mandatory and hardly gives extra credit. He will pick on you randomly and put you on the spot. I really didn't like that about this class. You MUST participate. At the end we had a potluck, literally the only cool thing about the class.
Professor Sunday is AMAZING ! He is great, he knows what he is talking about when it comes to the American Political System. Exams are easy, he gives a study guide prior which is the exam so make sure to do the study guide and study it, those are the questions/answers. There was a tutor available which was also helpful. HW is east ! He CARES!
Best professor. Hilarious, caring, organized, passionate and knowledgeable. Professor O constantly encourages you to expand your knowledge by calling on you and as well as giving advice. Reading the textbook, participating and attendance matters--otherwise the class is easy as his assignments are mostly group work.
One of the best professors I have ever had. He is warm and welcoming. Coming to his class twice a week is a pleasure. Love him. TAKE HIM IF YOU GET THE CHANCE
He is a very great teacher and answers all your questions before any assignment. the syllabus is very detailed so you will not miss anything. he gives great feedback and responds quickly when you have questions.
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.
hes easy but you need to be sure to participate in class alot of write ups but there little writes up he also gives easy exams just make sure you update yourself on the material
Great professor that actually cares about his students. There is several write ups that make up the grade but are very easy to do. Not many tests. Final exam was a piece of cake. Highly recommend taking him.
if you follow your syllabus his how what your going to be graded on and when it due and he true to its super easy he is also very easy to understand he allows you to turn in your work late as well and gives extra credit
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. Show up in class, participate, and you'll pass!
The online class has a structure that is easy to follow and can definitely be completed in a less amount of time. One paper is due at the end of the course but he provides a very clear outline to follow. I recommend that everyone take his online class for meet the political science requirement.
I took him for summer school and his class was easy. We only did one class meeting and the rest was on our own. The tests were open book and. were easy to do. He gave us extra credit because some tests questions weren't clear. He only required one report and lets us know two weeks ahead for you won't procrastinate.
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!
A really nice professor who wants everyone in his class to pass, the homework is easy and so are the tests.
I took this class during the pandemic and honestly is was such an easy A. He gives you 2 assignments each week (you will not have difficulty doing them) and you'll have to finish them before Friday. I extremely encourage you to take this class!
Prof. Obazuaye is an extremely caring instructor who wants to see his students succeed, all HW's and exams are ultra easy multi-choice Q's from YouTube videos and the textbook, respectively. Easy A! I'd definitely take his class again if I wanted to do so!
I took his class in the summer time. It was an easy A. All of the work was done through the online textbook. Not much work, but you learn a lot! I would definitely recommend this professor.
Easy A. He is so nice and makes tou comfortable. You not only learn about the basic politics, but he also shares current events related to politics. Homework once a week. I learned a lot from him, his lectures are easy to understand.
Great class! Professor Obazuaye is very kind and very undertstanding. The work load was very mangeable and lectures were great! He's also helpful and kind to answering questions and emails. I reccomend Professor Obazuaye, he's a genuine man!!
whoever is looking to take pol with this professor pls do so! Hes such a great professor very inspirational, gives life lessons and he cares about how you learn & is very passionate about what he knows. I am very grateful I got to be in his class. u are lucky to choose him as your POL professor. easy grade week quizs & ch. exams 1 research paper.
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.
He is so nice, in the orientation he informs us students that he accepts late work with no points deducted because he understands we are busy in our lives and work
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.
I took his summer 6 week class. 3 chapters, 3 videos, 3 tests due each week. One paper about ourselves and about our representatives. As long as you follow the book you'll do good on the tests. The tests are based off the book.
Good professor. He knows his subject. Sometimes lectures are not structured. Just do what he assigns and you should be good and do good in the class.
Professor knows his stuff. He sometimes may go out of subject and lectures may not always be structured but he does seem to care about what he teaches them.
one of the worst professors I have ever had!!!! A hard grader and if you don't like politics prepare yourself
He's a good teacher and he cares about his students. He expects a good amount of participation and discussion so don't expect to just sit there and be lectured to.
Really cool teacher. Cares about our well-being in addition to our progress in the class. Tests were taken online, and were super easy. Not much homework, and only one paper that was super easy to do.
This class is super easy. The work is done on Pearson and is easy. 1 report assignment that can take time but is also easy. This you can chill and relieve your stress because Professor Obazuaye is funny and inspirational. He truly cares about his students. I saw some people fail somehow. you really shouldn't, just do the person hw and you are good.
I guess this professor was okay. He required all students to pay for a buggier, Canvas equivalent that cost $80. Like, why not just use canvas to assign work?? His grading criteria is unclear but the coursework was alright, I guess. All the answers to the chapter quizzes are on Quizlet.
Wish Professor Obazuaye taught all courses I need in school lol, HE IS THE BEST!! You won't regret taking his class, loved every bit of it. Thank you Dr. Sunday if you're reading this, you made college a more pleasant experience for me as a freshman :D .
Professor Sunday is a great teacher. He is always understanding and even goes out his way to provide snacks for free in case his students didn't eat. He is super caring. His work is very doable and easy. He expects the work to be done the week it is published however he still accepts late work and doesn't penalize it for being late.
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.
honestly, DO UR WORK!! thats literally all you have to do. this class is very straightforward. he doesnt give tons of work but there is some. hes rlly nice and i failed but it was my own fault!! i would definitely take him again and actually try this time. PARTICIPATION MATTERS!! don't fall behind like i did and you'll pass.
You do all the work and reading online on this website, which you have to pay $80$ to access. It is one of those classes where you don't really have to show up since it's all online. The professor is very passionate and loves what he teaches. He is pretty chill and even has a snack bowl for his students.
There are no exams besides the final which was a take home and had to answer 4 short answer prompts. Quizzes are online which is on Revel. A lot of group assignments that are given in-class so don't miss it. There are 2 group reports and honestly he's a tough grader hold your group accountable if their parts aren't good because it will affect grade
Professor Obazuaye is a caring and engaging instructor. The coursework is manageable, and he's flexible with late submissions. Attending class is a must, but it's worth it - he even provides free snacks! For study prep, I found Unstuck ai and Quizlet really helpful.
amazing prof! one of those mentors i'd visit after graduation to come back and thank. he's very involved during lectures and shares a lot of good info about current events. clearly cares about students and makes an effort to remember names. no exams in my case, more research paper-heavy, but he gives you feedback to improve. about an $80 textbook.
*Communicates well, I had multiple political professors. none were half as great as he is. *Teaches about politics, not biases or opinions that lead to anything controversial *provided Pearson, very convenient for online work, but also does on paper *Makes time for the student *its easier to take these classes during elections
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)
