Comment:

Okamoto is great! He is honest and shows his students what the real world is like. He isn't afraid to take us out of our APU bubble and teach us about life through the papers we write. People get mad at him for that, but I loved it. He is funny and just awesome to talk to. The papers are pretty simple too.

Great class. Good to have a class with a funny liberal professor every once in a while. Talks about tabooed subjects often and the class is always in laughter. Just do the work and you will be fine. Easy!

Comment:

Prof was very good; knowledgable but his opinion is "this is the last literature class most of you guys are ever going to take, so we are going to have fun reading actual literature." He gets on a soapbox and rants quite often about "conservatives" but it can be amusing. Not much work, and class was always more fun than challenging.

I want to take a class with Okamoto every semester. You learn and laugh a lot. He's realistic, and not afraid to talk about any relevant topic. Take him, unless you have a problem with sharing a poem at the end of the semester.

Awesome teacher. Actually talks about important and controversial topics. And on top of that he's super easy. I did 1 paper and 1 poem and that's it and I got an A. He's SICK!

Comment:

Really relaxed prof. He likes to stir up controversy and he repeats himself a lot, but if you can't handle that you will have a real hard time once you leave APU. You had to do the reading but going to class didn't really add much, although he basically gave you the answers to the test questions. He's a good guy though really genuine

great prof! he makes an effort to teach you about subjects that you may not discuss in other classes. he cares about his students and tries to accomodate with everyone's schedule. i would definitely recommend him for FWS and for intro to lit.

Chill teacher. If you don't care about this class take it because it's an easy class to pass. He's a really good guy and and was different because he doesn't fit the normal APU mold. I skipped class a lot and still passed.

Comment:

HE IS AWESOME! He breaks the "APU" mold and really teaches you something about the real world/politics/the harsh reality of life outside of the apuza bubble. He may be seen as controversial at times, but he is truly a good christian teacher who just doesnt sugar coat the facts of life like so many of the other profs at apu.
