Comment:

This guy is a terrible professor. He is nearly impossible to understand and should not qualify to teach a course in taught in english. He is very unapproachable and has no desire to see his students succeed. Very un clear expectations of what he looks for in his work and will totally ignore his own syllabus when he feels like it. 1/5 professor.

Comment:

This man has no idea how to mark. There is clear grading criteria but then he takes marks off for no reason whatsoever. You are required to email him if you want feedback on labs and he takes 4 days to reply if at all. He also marks everything last minute so you have no idea what your grade is going into the exam. AVOID AT ALL COSTS! He ruined me.

Comment:

Very hard marker, and doesn't give you adequate feedback for the reasoning behind your grade. He will use the excuse that he is marking other labs as a reason to ignore you. Also, the webcasts are scripted and awkward. I find it funny how he is the one who designs the course and has a "PhD", but sounds like he has no clue what he's talking about.

Gives no explanation of what he is looking for and marks based on very specific, trivial facts. Gives no feedback when asked. Would never take a course this prof teaches ever again. Overall horrible professor.

Comment:

Very slow and seemingly uninterested in students and their need to get grades back in order to know where they're at. His tests do not reflect knowledge learned in class. His slides are unorganized and don't follow logical order or seem to have any relation to course at times. Didn't enjoy his class, marked harshly for his teaching levels....

Comment:

Very close minded for the needs of students sometimes. Long time to mark things, hard to understand, he posts the slides but they are very minimal. No text book which is nice, but it would be nice to know what is actually going on in the course.

Comment:

Very unfair marking with no real reason for the marks that was given. Was not helpful and did not know how to help with group conflict resolution. Group work was a pain to do in this online course because no one would message back, resulting in you doing all the work.

Hard to understand, but Okoree is adorable and always happy to teach. Class can be pretty boring, but powerpoints are posted online. Still, go to class before the midterm and exam; he`ll tell you exactly what to expect.
