First comes off as a hard ass. But losens up as time goes by. Very effective teacher. Likes to have fun in his classes. Class is interesting since he has a Nigerian Accent. Loads of fun in class!!
funny guy. tests come off of homework. enjoyable class.
Funny guy, likes to pick on people in a fun way. Makes poli sci interesting. I highly recommend him.
Speaks good English, but it is hard to understand on what he means when he asks questions on tests. Dosnt seem to be well organized when he comes to class, some days he will give the same lecture on the same chap he gave the previous day.
he's funny, but isn't willing to help the student. i had 8 pts through out the term that were marked wrong by the scantron that he wasn't willing to give me.. very irrelevant questions on test (ex. what was prof. reece's job before professor at cerritos&#
The EXACT same questions you have on the workbook are on the test. grade based on tests, 2 true and false 30 question quizzes, and a group write up.
excellent teacher who makes learning fun
He has a deep accent, but goes on pretty well with his lectures and the questions on the test are exactly as they appear on the text and on his lectures which is GREAT! Learned a lot about politics and I would recommend him to anyone.
great class, extremely funny
MR "O" WAS AN EXCELLENT TEACHER. I WOULD RECOMMEND HIM OVER FALCON ANY DAY. THE ONLY THING THAT WERE SOMEWHAT TOUGH WERE HIS TESTS BUT AS LONG AS YOU DO THE STUDY/ANSWER SHEETS YOU CAN PASS WITH AN "A" THEY ARE ALMOST EXACTLY THE SAME ANSWERS ON THE TEST AS IN THE REVIEW SHEET.
Very very knowledgeable about the course and able to transfer knowledge in a way everyone understands.
he is a little hard to understand
I got an A but it was not easy. It is very easy to get a B. Make sure you cover everything for the group paper. (MLA style, # pages, works cited, etc.) He will grade harshly if anything is missing.
THIS MAN IS AWESOME!I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS CLASS TO THOSE STUDENTS WHO WANT TO LEARN ABOUT POLI SCI AND NOT TO SHOW UP JUST TO SLEEP.HIS CLASS IS EASY IF YOU READ THE CHAPTERS AND STUDY THE WORKBOOK.HE IS WILLING TO HELP AND TAKES PRIDE IN WHAT HE TEACHES... THAT'S WHAT MAKES HIS CLASS FUN AND ENJOYABLE
tests were out of the workbook, but won't go over the answers for you, so you won't know if you got the answers right or wrong til after the test. Makes u watch a CD for every CH. to find answers for the roundtable ?'s like.. "Who's the moderator" "What was Prof. Reece's job before teaching.." etc. And he calls on random students to answer ?'s.
Obasohan,.. what can I say? He was a great teacher, very funny w/ Nigerian accent for those who find accents amusing. Very liberal way of teaching, I believe he is a leftist. Anyways I recommend this teacher to all those in need of a Political Science class. I believe he will smoke pot with you if you asked him, its part of his religion =D!!
Did not like the fact I had to pay 125 for a special book he help right. Forced to buy it new due to the online part of the CD. Can be very rude to quite students in the class.
Wow! Mr O. is an awesome teacher. I'd reccomend him to my friends. He's very well organized and the online cds really helped. The work book was the easiest thing to do. The class wasn't even hard. I liked the class a lot! Just do the work and pass the exams and you'll pass his class. It's that simple.
One of the best teachers. He is very organized and there are no surprises in this class. Simply pay attention, due the work and take the test. He is very funny in his own way. His class is never boring.

I took the online class and yes the book was expensive, but I did get an A! The tests are taken online and are not timed and there is one project where you write a letter to the appropriate gov. official, but it's a breeze! I don't know his teaching style, but at the orientation I had a feeling that his traditional class would be very interesting

the best possible teacher for a subject like political science. funny, engaging, and always knowledgable, one would be missing out if this class was taken with anyone else.
It is easy to get an B. But with a little work an A is also feasible. He is particular about the MLA format. But he makes the class interesting and fun.
He's a little hard to understand and not very clear at times. Just read the book and pay attention to what's current in the news and you should do fine in the class.
at first you think that he is going to be a-kick-in-the-a** but then you realize that he is good after all... and when you think you are going to get a B... all of a sudden you get an A... he is awesome!!!
i liked him right from the start, i know him from out of school, so its funny when on the first day everybody was intimidated by him thinkin he was mean, but he's awesome n freakin hilarious!!!!
a hard class but he is a great teacher, i had to miss a few days during to semester and he was very understanding and when i got back was interested in how i did.
Professor Obasohan ... I enjoyed his class! He expects a lot out of his students not because he is a difficult instructor but because he would like his students to take the class (and education in general) seriously. He is very eager to teach. He is also hilarious! Guaranteed laughs in class! I wasn't really interested in political science but he made it appealing. His accent may make it difficult to sometimes understand what he is saying but he makes sure he repeats himself to stress/clarify a point.
Though the class tends to get a little methodical towards the end, it still is fun and you learn a great deal even though his way of teaching is a little militaristic. He is funny and his accent is cool to listen too. Just don't get on his bad side.
he was kinda hard to understand at times ... He was funny tho' he has this big crush On Mariah Carey ... lol
This cat is off da heezy for real. You want an educational course with non-stop commedy, insight and adventure. Take this class right here. You will never be the same!
Prof Obie was awesome. Not only is he hilarious, but he also teaches very well. Definitely recommend this prof. Awesome.
He makes political science fun and easy to understand. Sometimes hard to understand but very rarely. Great teacher.
He is great. The class itself is alot of theory and difficult to understand at times but Obasohan makes it very interesting. I wish he taught 210 and 220.
Hes a great teacher! Makes his class fun ! All you have to do is answer the questions in the workbook and study them it will be better if you memorize them because those same questions is your test ..Easy A
Made it soooo much easy. And hell of fun. Best class i've had in a while. easy pass. just memorice the questions in the workbook, that is your exam.
WORK IN LECTURE BOOK..WATCH OR LISTEN TO ONLINE DEBATES AND ROUNDTABLES..DO ASSIGNMENTS AFTER LECTURE NOTES..BUT THE EXAMS R THE SAME FROM THE LECTURE ASSIGNMENTS..HE'S FUNNY AND HE'S FROM AFRICA..HE MOVES THROUGH THE COURSEWORK REAL FAST..THE BOOKS WERE $ 2 ME..JUST DO ALL OF YOUR READINGS BEFORE CLASS OR AT LEAST AFTER CLASS
If you want to laugh, learn and even cry, this class is for you. Poly Sci can be soo boring, but not with Prof Obie. You'll also love his accent. In fact, his accent is what makes most of the class. Trust me, YOU WANT TO TAKE HIM. You wont regret it.
I HATE POLITICS! always have, always will but this class was actually fun. 1st day told me it would be-he gives this look where hes tryin 2 be intimidating but hes just seein what your gonna do-all i did was smile & he'd laugh & all was good-definitly a great teacher-do the workbook & your set-thanks Prof.-ill call you when im a soccor mom---K.Q
horrible never recommend to anyone his accent is the only cool thing kill me
hoffible never recommend to anyone his accent is the only cool thing kill me
Don't Listen to the last posting!! Obasohann is a great teacher. He is easy all his exams come from the homework questions, which you'll get top check with other students. And if there's a Q. no one understands then you ask him and he'll give you the answer. HE IS EASY AND FUNNY.
he is a very cool and funny teacher. he would make jokes sometimes and would make the class laugh. His exam questions are straight from the homework which made everything really easy.
He is the funniest professor ever! His lectures are very informative. His workbook is your life in this class. He practically gives you the test in the workbook. He says himself that if you get a bad grade in his class, you wanted it yourself. Take him, he's great.
Professor Obasohan has a great sense of humor, he'll keep you interested in this difficult subject. Test's are totally EASY, and quiz questions are exact test questions. (Book is also a definate!) I highly recommend this teacher.
Great teacher. Very funny and intertaining. Thi class is worth taking!
First day he may seem like a dick but hes not. Hes very easy if you read and do the work book everyday. I know it seems like a chore but believe me this was the easiest grade I ever got. On exams he never changes the question so just remember one key work in each question from the book or online quizzes and youll be fine
he's excellent teacher
Professor Obasohan's class is the most fun! Read your chapters, do the workbook and GO TO CLASS! You won't regret it, and you will laugh your way through class!!
He DOES seem mean when you first meet him, but he's HILARIOUS! Not a day goes by in his class that I don't laugh. And the tests are extremely easy. I'm glad I chose him. :) Pick him if you want an A-B.
If you want to learn about the government and not stress yourself, take Mr. Obasohan. He is funny and very informative.
this guy is awesome. if you want to get an easy A and learn at the same time, Professor Obasohan is the man. I love his random questions that will automatically pass you with an A even though they are impossible to answer. (you guys will know what Im talking about when you take him). I wish all teachers were like him.
He's very funny, you could really learn alot about political stuff. I thought that this class is going to be boring, after all it is politic.... however he make the subject interesting. just do the work book and you'll do fine, and participation in class is a must!!! It helps me with my grade a lot. Over all very easy class.
Funny man
I need help finding the answers to the questions in the work book. Please help!!!!!!!!
We always know whats gonna be on the tests. He's also really funny, and he doesnt even try to be. Has interesting accent. I wish all teachers followed his way of teaching. easy to pass.
Class is easy, attendance is not mandatory! Tests are really easy, they are based on word from word from the multiple choice questions for homework. Internet HWs are BORING and you MUST watch the videos because he'll know if u didn't and lowers your grade! Accent is hard to understand, he is funny in the beginning then it gets a little annoying!
Very funny. Need workbook and textbook. All quizzes based on T/F ?'s in workbook. Tests based on M/C ?'s in workbook. All workbook answers found in textbook or online(ask.com). Must watch videos for web assignments. He knows if you don't watch them. Trust me. If you do all this, you will get an A. I did. VERY EASY!!! TAKE HIM!!! GUARANTEED A!!!
He*s super funny! I really enjoyed his lectures. He gives you plenty of opportunities to get an A by random questions. Although the workbook costs a lot, I suggest buying the code from online & just reading the book from online. You need the workbook as everything in there is practically your test. You*ll get an A if DON*T LAG IT!
Great proffesor!! Easy class. Easy A. Very funny, great lectures. Knows his stuff. Dont be scared on the first day of class, he pretends to be mean. But he is not. TAKE HIM!! EASY A!!!!
Obasohan was awesome! His tests are basically from the workbook WORD FOR WORD so it's easy to pass! just study, watch the videos, and ask questions and you'll do good. I got a C because i rarely studied and missed a few days but he still passed me =] His personality is fun. Seems like hes strict but not at all! TAKE HIS CLASS!!!
Super cool teacher, pretends to be mean the first fay of class but in reality he is super funny and easy just do the workbook which is multiple choice ques. and the tests are straight from the workbook the only kind of lame thing was the online video discussions we had to watch i found them a bit time consuming but they're easy TAKE OBOSOHAN!
He has a mean exterior, but he is a very funny teacher. The assignments in the workbook were easy, and I loved the online debates. He is very passionate about this subject. Take his classes, you'll love it.
At first he freaked me out. He looked like a mean guy. Really recomend this teacher. He's a funny guy.This class is flunk proof all the answeres of the quiz are basicly given to you.
Only take his class if you really want an A, cause you'll get it. Pay attention in class and do the workbook while you read the chapter and watch the vids on time, he knows if you don't, and you'll get that A. He's also really funny. His accent isn't that hard to understand if anything it made things more interesting.
very good teacher
attending this class blown beyond your mind just makes it twice as interesting.
he iz a great teacher. he iz super cool and realli funni. he gives web hw and you must do ur workbook. the workbook ?'s are the same 1'z on the test and quizzes.. take him!!!
entertaining,funny, and helpful.
at first i thought that this was gonna be a hard class just cuz. but he gives you the test in the form of a workbook. literally! the questions are the same. just do the workbook, watch the videos because "he sees you" and show up. guarranteed A.
This man truly loves his job and it shows in everything he does. Eventhough the class was easy it was still a good learning experience. Oh and don't forget to always come in through the back door or he'll put you on the spot.
He is very passionate about political science, and it shows in his teaching. Even if political science isn't 'your world' he will get you excited about it. I have heard negative things about the other political science professors so I am convinced that he is the best. I really enjoyed his class. [He has a really neat Nigerian accent as well lol]
If you feel like getting an easy A, take him. You will a lot of interesting things about American politics and Governemnet that you wont find in any book.
he is a very funny man. i took the summer class with him which i highly recommend because it goes by so quickly and you only do 1 essay for the entire class.
He is the best He seems mean at first but he si not.............his exam is an exact copy of his study guide...........for sure you will pass
Easiest class every, study guides at the end of the workbook is the exact same thing as the test questions.If you fill it out and study for 30 mins, its impossible to fail.He loves athletes btw.
HE IS EASY!! FUNNY!! AND MAKES THE CLASS SO INTERESTING!!...HE ALWAYS KEEPS REMAINING YOU THAT HE IS FROM NIGERIA!!...LOL...I HIGHLY RECOMMEND OBASOHAN!!...AND REMEMBER DO THE VIDEOS!! BECAUSE HE SEES YOU!!...LOL
Obasohan is awesome. You might think he is mean at first but he is really nice. He is always willing to help you, just go to his office, he'll help you with whatever you need. He is funny. Do all the online assignments! HE SEES YOU! (as he would say.) They are easy, this class is nearly impossible to fail. Would recommend mos def.
He's so cool. He made has a work book that you take notes in, and if you forget it he will call you on it in front of the class. He's really funny. His tests are easy if you do the questions in the workbook, and they're not that hard. Great teacher. I totally reccomend taking him.
He really made me sit up and listen to what is going on in my country and how our country affects the rest of the world. He made me realize how important it is that we all value our right to vote and appreciate the democratic process. He is very informed -- strict -- but you learn a lot. I'd take him again.
He is GREAT ! Test questions are straight out of the workbook. It is so easy. Do the online assignments. They are not hard. He has weird face expressions but he is really cool. Totally reccomend him and would take him again. LOVE IT <3
Professor Obasohan is the best teacher I've ever had! He genuinely cares for his students, and his lectures are not only extremely interesting, they are also a ton of fun. I have tremendous respect for him because he's so fair & unbiased in his teaching. He gives you all the tools you need & if you apply yourself you'll do well in his class.
great professor keeps his comedy at all times, know how to direct the class if you have done your workbook assignment following what the book says you'll get that A
GREAT TEACHER!!! In the middle of the semester he assigns students to explain the chapter to the class, but don't worry its easy Obasahan helps you out! TOTALLY RECOMMEND....
very good teacher, he always cares about students and is very funny. take him youll love the class
he is an awesome teacher! i dont know how you cannot pass his class with an A, he gives you all the questions from his test in his workbook all you have to do is memorize them! and you pass with an A, if you dont know the answers you can go to him for help and he will tell you!
a great professor to have if u wanna learn and have fun at the same time. best teacher ever so far!!!!
this teacher is very funny and enthusoiastic i really enjoyed his class all his test questions come from the workbook, word for word and are multiple choice
if you know nothing about politics take him He seems very intimidating at first but he is hilarious yes his exam questions are word for word from his workbook that he customizes for the class but you get your answers from the text book they are multiple choice and the quizzes are true false attendance is a must he docks points for absences
No words, only GREAT compliments. well, what can i say, i just LOVED HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:))i'll miss u...
Prof is very cool. Test are very easy, loved his class!!
Professor Obasohan is the BEST professor for Poli-Sci. He has a good sense of humor and funny at times. His test and quizzes are extremely easy. Tests and Quizzes are based directly from his workbook and online assignments questions are word for word. I strongly recommend him for anyone that's planning to take Poli-Sci.
Professor Obasohan is awwwwesome!! His exams are directly from the study exam book that he wrote himself...there is no way you can fail his class.
Tests and Quizzes are extremely easy! The questions are the exact same questions from the work book. Overall, 2 quizzes (M/C), 3 tests (M/C), and a Final. I strongly recommend him for anyone that's planning to take Poli-Sci
Great teacher and funny. Class goes by fast. EASY
He is funny at times and likes to joke, but he thinks he knows everything. To me, he seems extremely ****! Especially against whites. Many times, he pisses me off so bad I wanna leave. The tests and quizes, however, are the exact same thing as the workbooks but there is no way to tell if you have the correct answers. This is a win/lose class but better than falcon
Heavy accent. He likes to call on people randomly for fun and he will ask you absurd things that arent relevant to his lectures. Get a study group to go over the answers to the study guide because it is too much work. If you get the answers right from the study guide then you should be ok but his class is so long and tedious!
not as easy as they say! test is straight from the study guide exacly but findint the answers is hard! need a study group because obasohan wont help you. very nice and funny man with a cute smile :) i thought i was going to get an A but i ended up disapointed he does not keep you updated with your grades but fun class
awesome teacher! basically, do the study guide and make sure your answers are correct (he wont tell you so find a reliable source) and you'll be set for the quizzes and tests (they are WORD FOR WORD) deff a fun class to go to and goes by quick. i got an A but i worked for it so you're deff going to have to TRY. and he's pretty hilarious too.
he is the best!! amazingg, he is brilliant. take him take him take him
I took his class 2 years ago and I have fond memories of this awesome man. People say its hard to find answers but its not if you READ the chapters and get a study group to discuss answers. His class is fun, he is HILARIOUS, and he is so helpful! I wish he taught more classes so I could take another one of his classes 8-) HE IS THAT GOOD PEOPLE!
I dont know how you call yourself a teacher when all you do is teach 5 sections of one class every semester. The whole Poly Sci department is more concerned with promoting their expensive book that they created than actually teaching Poly Sci
HE WAS A GREAT TEACHER AND HE DOSENT GIVE HOMEWORK I DO RECOMMEN THIS TEACHER HE IS FUNNY MOST OF THE TIME N QUIZ ARE THE SAME AS THE STUDY GUID GREAT TEACHER!!
He is a very good & funny teacher. Sometimes hard to understand but he is always excited about the subject. No homework but you have to do the study guides & read the book.
Obasohan is a great professor. There won't be a class period where he won't have you laughing... he is so funny! His jokes are relevant to the subject and he keeps you up to date with current events. I hated the idea of having to take Poli Sci, but he made it interesting for me. Surprisingly, I got an A in the class.
Great professor, he is hilarious, and he is able to attach this to the subject. I have taken political science before, but I believe I learned more this time around because of professor Obasohan's teaching style. As long as you do the review and study it before the test you'll do fine in the class. I would definitely recommend this class.
He's actually nice and sometimes funny. We had to do lots of study guides, do some web assignments and take lecture notes in our workbook. It's simple! I would recommmend him. =)
Funny and makes the class interesting. He surely knows his stuff. I would recommend him.
proffessors accent makes it to hard understand what he is saying. He is always late 15 ,16,18 minutes everyday but you are not allow to leave. He also picks on people for answers and wastes too much classtime waiting for and answer.
Mr. Obasohan is a GREAT professor! I took his 101 class in the Spring of 2011. He's very passionate about his teachings and funny as well. His lectures may seem a little long and can drag sometimes, but he makes up for it with his interesting stories and funny jokes. He pretty much gives you the answers to the test that are in your workbook. As long as you do the work, you'll have no problem passing!
He is the man. the hw is the test. That good enough for me.Eveyone I know has taking his class.
Obasohan was awesome! All you have to do is take notes on everything in his workbook, because at the end of every chapter are test questions. He makes his tests up of these questions. Participation is based on attendance, he will call on everyone on the roll, don't show up late and walk through the front door interrupting him or he will tackle you!
his class is very funny and entertaining, you will learn allot he goes based on what is on the study guides!!
He is a challenge when it comes to lecturing due to his heavy Nigerian accent, but if you ask him kindly he will repeat himself for you. Always bring both your textbook and workbook to class since book use in this class is heavy. He does put you on the spot sometimes when he ask you to answer a question but its not even a big deal. Great teacher.
A great teacher and a tromendous help in the class room and he makes the material interesting and funny I reccomend to anyone to take him. Amazing Professor.
He is a really nice teacher but he is kinda hard on the test. The way he talks is also a challenge but other than that he is okay. He uses his textbook everyday so make sure to bring them. If you do will in your test and online work you will do just fine.
If you aren't taking a class with this guy, there's something wrong with you. I failed PoliSci fall 2008 but did so much better with this guy. Tests are literally the study guide that's super easy to do. I never paid attention in class, just worked on study guides during lectures instead. If you fail his class, there's something wrong with you.
the guy is a straight up boss!! YOU NEED TO TAKE THIS GUYY, HE IS SO FUNNY!!!
Easy class if you pay attention and come to class! He's pretty funny. HE made the subject fun. I'd take him again if I could!
fun class,but you have to be top of your online assignments and wrkbook, b/C the test and quizzes are word by word. he will not give you the answers so you need to find them on ur own. pay attention in class and do ur work and study and you pass. easy teacher, plus funny
Couldn't afford the book that yr but I kept up with notes and did well on the tests. Not having the book got me into a lot of trouble though and eventually he flunked me. Bring a stapler and charge people to use it xD lots of people forget to staple their work sheets together. I liked him and offered to do an extra paper but he refused to assist me
Poor teacher. Tests consist of over 100 questions that need to be memorized. Does not post grades or email you back about anything. I would not consider taking him unless you know a lot about politics and have a really good memory. Horrible.
Class is pretty easy IF YOU ACTUALLY DO THE READING. His class helps somewhat with tests, but most of it comes from the workbook. He is a pretty good teacher though, but if you have hard classes take someone else. His class requires you do the reading and if you can't do it you won't do well. Not recommended in summer unless its your only class.
Amazing professor, one of the best here at Cerritos. Do the reading and online assignments and you will do fine. Pay attention to his lectures and follow along with the workbook. Reading is necessary to pass this class.
His class takes a lot of memorization because many of the answers come straight from the workbook. He mentions test answers if you pay attention to his lectures. Weekly online assignments take anywhere from 30-45 minutes. He gives 1 easy extra credit assignment, 2 if you take his class during an election year. (You get extra credit for voting).
Obasohan was a really great teacher. Just pay attention in lectures and the work at the ends of the lesson is exactly what is on the test. Easiest class that I have ever taken.
Obasohan is one if the best Poli Sci professors at Cerritos! Don't be lazy and do what you're suppose to do, read and study and you'll pass his class. You need to be prepared to be called on in class when he asks you a question. He kept me on my toes and I respect that. I learned a lot. I'm paying to learn, not to sit on my phone in class.
Professor Obasohan is a great and funny professor! Expect to participate in class and answer some questions he may say. The textbooks are needed to finish homework and get ready with exams.
He was cool and fun. He got into his lectures and made jokes here and there.
As long as you read the book you should be fine. Tests and quizzes are directly from your workbook hw. Always makes jokes and entertains the class. He really enjoys what he teaches and tries his best to make sure his students retain the knowledge.
In order to pass this class you need to read your text book and follow along with your workbook during lectures. When you're in class, the teacher will go over the chapters so you can jot down notes in your workbook. Lectures were fun and engaging because he added humor and student participation. He's a pretty funny guy. I would take him again.
Brotha Obasohan! This man is just great. hes very clear about what needs to be done and is more than open to answering any and all questions. He was very quick about responding to emails and would provide valuable feedback. I advise the cheaper Etext which will always be used. Challenging and super funny gotta love his laugh.
Pretty good teacher, just didn't like subject material. His test are exactly the worksheets, so if you study those and put the right answers you'll fine. He's super funny and I enjoyed his humor. Not all the answers are in the book so expect to use it and Google.
Constantly arrives late to class ! Thick Nigerian accent which makes lectures sometimes difficult to understand. His exams are the exact same questions from the workbook & you can find all answers on quizlet. Easy A & offers extra credit. He takes notice when you're absent, he'll call you out about it next class meeting. Expect classparticipation!
He is a great professor. Be prepared because he will call on you. His tests are pretty easy if you do the work on the workbook. You will be responsible for weekly online tests. Overall his class was great.
Funny
Funny teacher with easy tests because all of the questions are from the workbook you buy. You should read the chapters beforehand because he will call you to participate. When you participate he will ask you definitions of words or to explain something (all following the chapter outline that is also inside the workbook). Weekly quizzes online!
weekly video quizzes online. He will call on you so make sure you keep up with the reading. The test questions come from the workbook. Overall a good professor !
Brotha Obasohan, is so hilarious because of the faces he makes towards his students and he makes up stories that are relatable to the subject. Just expect a lot of participation because he will call on students. When it comes to his exams, it is recommended that the students should use the book instead of quizlet for studying for exams.
Super boring class, I didnt read the book, but your better read the book he ask random people question based on the book or topics based on the subject and if you dont want to look dumb, read. Study the study guide, and youll do fine. Do the work, show up to class and study and youll pass.
Makes you buy the text book & workbook with an access code to mylabsplus. But it pays off because the questions for the test are directly from the workbook, so study it and you will pass!
He's a pretty straight forward teacher. His exam/quiz questions are copied and pasted from the workbook you need to by. Online homework every week about a video and you answer 5 questions about it. Literally, Quizlet has every single one of his tests, quizzes, and HW assignments
You MUST buy the book. His study guide was mandatory in our class; all the test/quiz questions were in the guide! Pay attention to lectures and read the text for the answers. If you study you'll certainly pass the class! Also, don't mess around and play with your phone; he WILL see you and yell at you. He'll call on you to answer questions.
You just need to make sure to do your homework and you'll do fine.
Don't let the first day intimidate you. I got a C but I didn't put in the work. Its definitely is an easy A. Also, sit in the front. He has a very thick Nigerian accent.
Very awesome teacher! Very engaging in lecture and the workbook is basically the questions on the test, study the workbook and youll do fine!
He is a great professor. Although you have to buy his work book, its worth it because its basically the test questions. Highly recommended to take his class because as long as you show up and do whats expected, easy passing grade.
Professor lectures all class but it helps for the tests. The tests are exactly the homework from the workbook. You can tell he is interested in the subject the way he lectures. If he taught political science 201 I would take it.
A good professor, his lectures are not heavy you have to pay close attention and take notes, he moves on once everyone had it written down and makes it easy for you to understand. Funny, as well. Participation is a must.
I think the biggest problem for this class is the expensive book and a large number of questions to memory before class. Generally speaking, he is really a great prof. and this class is the one you can choose for credit.
Professor Obashan, is an over good professor make sure you read the book he will call you in class to answer questions based on the readings, you will also have to purchase a work book and a reading book that are pretty expensive. Also, you will have weekly web assignments to do
Great professor. I could not have cared less about political science prior to this class, and very much enjoyed taking it. He changed my mind about political science. HE IS NOT BIASED REGARDING PARTY AFFILIATION! Which was something that I worried about going into this class. Homework is easy, tests are out of the workbook! Take his class!!
Literally everything is in the workbook which is 100% like the test so to pass the test is remembering the answers from the work book and he will call on you randomly and is late 15min everyday
Professor Obasohan is very knowledgable. He comes off as strict but he has a heart for his students & does his best to make the class interesting! Homework and quizzes are straight from the workbook. No need to buy the textbook, you will get access to the eBook with the online homework you do. He is great & I learned alot from lectures.
Okay my problem is he doesnt write notes and im very reliable on notes he never says wat page are we on and wat exactly Is the hw and things can get confusing at times so ur make sure u ask him after class questions or u will be lost make sure to record his lectures because I write slow n cant keep up with the info he verbally says
Best political science professor as long as you do your online assignment homework and complete notebook work you will get a good grade. The tests are based on your book questions they are almost identical answers
he is really funny, the workbook questions are on the test exactly how they are written. you 100% need the textbook
This is one of my favorite professors by far!! At first hes a bit intimidating however once you stick through the first few weeks you will begin to realize he is awesome at what he does and knows his subject, He is also really funny! You will need to book for this class but as long as you do the sample questions he assigns you will pass every exam
He is very clear on what he expects from us. His homework assignments are easy and the exams are the same questions from the homework. He is funny but tough on you if you don't show any effort. Gives good lectures and calls on people to read from the book.
by far the funniest professor. His lectures are great, he provides a lot of real life examples to get you to understand the concept. online work is easy, just need to verify with him to make sure your workbook answers are correct because that is whats on the test
Professor Victor is amazing and his class is very easy . Although, lectures are heavy they are not boring instead they are interesting. As long as you study sample questions assigned you will pass the test. The test are in the exact wording of the sample questions.
When they say participation matters, it MATTERS. If you're absent, he'll literally call you. He does not post grades so you have to ask him. I asked him a lil past mid semester, but he only had two tests on so I didn't really know my grade. It left me on my toes the whole semester, but I still got an A. Overall, he made lecture fun and interesting.
A majority of the assignments and workbook questions are easy. He uses the exact questions off the study guide but would throw a couple questions here and there outside of the workbook. Very funny and helpful during class. One thing I did not like is that he didn't use canvas so that you can see your posted grades. :(
Professor O. was my first teacher in college, he was amazing you just listen during class and study the sample questions you will do great. He's funny and nice you will be called on so pay attention. I didn't miss but one day and i felt a bit lost granted i took this summer session so it maybe the reason why lol. Take him for POL!!!!! He's great.
I love Professor Obasohan! He really knows what he is talking about and as long as you do the study guides correctly, you'll have no problem passing the class. The online homework was extremely easy as well.
This class was very straight forward if you follow the the instructions and go to class you will most likely leave with an A or B. The tests are based on the workbook and everything you need is there.
I have never been interested in politics but after taking this class, I am now more aware of what is happening currently. I would recommend and take this class again. All of his exams are based/exact same on the workbook pages he assigns. However, be prepared to read since he asks everyone questions!! He offers extra credit throughout the semester.
POL101 was definitely my favorite class last semester. Professor Obasohan's lectures are both educational and entertaining. You will definitely need to read, as he will ask you to answer some comprehension questions. There's also online assignments, which are super easy. I highly recommend taking this class. Easy A if you do the reading and work.
This is the worst professor I have ever encountered. Go to his office to ask for help and he will direct you to GOOGLE or study group, knowing that the answers aren't always clear. He does not answer questions and makes you feel humuliated if you ask something because you legitatemately don't understand and want clarification. Never again.
I would definitely take his course again, it is very easy and everything on the test is 100% in the textbook, and he is very understanding. One of the best professors in Cerritos.
He gave us less than a 12 hour notice for a 2 hour zoom meeting and when I emailed him that I couldnt make it because of work, he didnt respond to my email. Then when I emailed him again later because I was lost, he had the audacity to tell me to just read the syllabus when the syllabus page was literally blank. Worst experience. Dont take him.
great professor i recommend taking him
So before the whole shutdown when we had in person class he was always 10-20 minutes late to class. After the shut down he did not give us a clue on what to do and when contacted he spent 8 hours arguing with me before sending out an announcement that he would no longer be responding to emails
I took this class for Summer of 2021, it was always an easy A. Do your homework and test, youll pass. Keep in mind, it was an online class. Although it was easy, I dont think hes that accessible outside of class. One time I ask him a question and he directed me to his syllabus. Annoying But, I passed with an A and I wasnt stressed.
Professor, if you are reading this. I want to thank you for being so awesome and knowledgeable. you are so flexible and caring. you have helped me get through a what seems to be a very intimidating course. you made it fun.
I took this course fully online over six weeks. Professor obasohan is very accommodating, especially considering the numerous technical difficulties we had experienced! I would definitely take another one of his courses!
Professor Obasohan was non-existent during summer course but his class is self explanatory. Everything you need to know is on Canvas. Assignments are posted weekly, you read the chapters, take the quizzes, exams are posted, you take exam (timed) and you're done. Exams are open book but your own notes are very helpful. I would take him again.
Though my first semester in college, I can assure anyone that this will be one of your favorite professors (especially for poli sci majors)! I took his in person class and have practically no complaints. Make sure to show up to class and take notes. Lectures are always based on your reading. Easy A!
Take this class in person and you will be fine! (I haven't take his online classes but my in person experience with him was very good) Pay attention to his lectures, he is very passionate about his teachings and the work is very minimal. I would definitely take again
Professor had straight forward criteria for grading for his online summer class. Allow yourself at least 2 hours for his tests if you are balancing other activities with this class. Easy to balance class with working if you work on homework early in the week. Videos were interesting and educational.
very straight forward, weekly task that are pretty clear as long as you don't slack. Would definitely take again no question.
You have to buy access to Pearson MyLab to do the work. In class, he summarizes the chapter and sometimes calls on students. Be ready to answer just in case. Here's what you'll do every week: watch a video and answer five multiple choice questions about the video AND take an open book chapter test (25 questions). The work is online. Use the book!
Pretty easy course, there is a meeting at the beginning of the course and he explains all of the assignments. Just homework(he calls them quizzes) tests, and one project at the end, all fairly easy. Just make sure to read the material. Work is done on Pearson/MyLab.
Pretty easy course! You have to buy access to the Pearson MyLab though. Every week there are assignments that consist of videos and questions after. As for the exams, just read the textbook on Pearson and you will do fine. There is also a project & SLO quiz at the end of the course which was fairly easy. Overall, I recommend taking this class :)
He wasn't helpful. He was tough from the orientation. Got angry when a student asked him a question. I highly recommend avoiding this professor.
Engaging lectures and straightforward grading. Use unstuck study and the free textbook to ace this course. Manageable workload with weekly quizzes and a project. Recommend taking in-person for better engagement.
I loved Obasohans poli sci 101 class! He is extremely passionate in the subject and you can tell through his lectures. He is always willing to drop the lecture to answer your questions. Weekly tests but they are fairly easy. As long as you do well on those tests you are sure to pass.
I think this is the easiest class I've taken at Cerritos. All you have to do is watch short videos, complete a quiz, and finish a 25-question quiz each week. The questions aren't tough, and you can easily find answers on online. The only downside is paying $80 for Pearson, which hurts my wallet lol but overall ez way to earn GE credit
Impossible to fail this class. Hes so silly and the entire semester I did NO in-class work- simply sat and listened to him talk which i loved. 2-3 simple assignments due every week and yeah hes usually 10-20 minutes late but why is that bad? This let me always show up late to class too (more sleep). you have to pay $80 but its so worth it trust
Professor Obasohan used Pearson for all course work, its an extra cost but the structure is really nice. Does 2 video assignments and one test each week. All work is opened on Mondays and due by Sunday, tests are open book and the videos are fairly interesting. Do the work and you can easily get an A.
Victor Obahosen was a good professor. He does all work on PearsonMyLab, which consists of one 25 multiple-choice questions each week and 1 or 2 short videos. I have to say his lectures could be dry sometimes but could be funny. He also doesn't like it when you email him about the project assignment (very easy btw), but overall I'd rate him a 7.5/10
Professor Obasohan is passionate and makes class fun. He assigns topics for students to define the next day, which keeps lessons clear and straightforward. As long as you show up and put in effort, you'll pass easily. He makes the class simple. Keep in mind I took this class during summer. There is no reason why you shouldn't receive an A.
Took him over the summer online. He used an outside website. We would do video quizzes which consisted of about 5-25 questions. Super easy! The final was researching about two state representatives from our county/area and was super easy and simple! Recommend!
Professor Obasohan is such a cool and caring professor. He is clearly passionate about the material. He would often joke around and was pretty funny. There is literally no way to fail this class as long as you do the online homework and weekly quizzes. By far one of the easiest classes I've taken at Cerritos!
Honestly, this was my favorite and easiest online course I've taken. He used an outside website for the coursework Pearson, which costs about $80, but it's worth it. There were no discussion boards. Each chapter just required watching 1–2 short videos, about 5–10 minute's, answering 5 questions, and then taking a 25-question quiz on the chapter.
