Comment:
When I asked my 11 classmates what they've learned, they said they don't know. Professor Oi knows a lot of stuff but has a hard time presenting them. To make matters worse there are no TAs in his class. At least the curve is huge, my paper has a 9 out of 20 and my grade was still an A-.

No reason to go to class except to get assignments. Everyone will get an A or B in the class as long as they complete the 2 relatively short papers.

Comment:
Brilliant man! Not a lot of technical Econ in this course. He has the best stories, some of which are meaningless. He may seem to blab on and get sidetracked but if you pay attention he does an excellent job of presenting the material. Something about his inflection makes him a great story teller, not necessarily a lecturer.

Very wise man. He will teach you a lot, even if it is not relevant to the course. Class is what you make it. If you are engaged and ask questions, it will be amazing. If you half-try, you will end up writing a review like the ones below me.

No offense to Professor Oi, but he may be going senile. He rambles about nonsensical issues, rarely addresses anything pertinent, has no outline for the class curiculum whatsoever, and grades the vague essays he assigns on a mind-bogglingly unfair level. His classes are a waste of time and he will TAX YOUR SANITY GUARANTEED. AVOID HIS CLASSES.

He's obviously a brilliant man but, sadly, a horrible teacher. Class was pointless and he constantly grumbled about his government days and his brushings with famous people; he never taught anything that he assigned. Luckily, he grades generously and the class curve was HUGE

brilliant man but mediocre professor. I wish he hadn't insisted on writing on the blackboard himself, since he is completely blind. Perhaps if he had a TA to do that for him, you'd be able to get more out of the class.
