Comment:

Okafor can be a tough grader, and his quizzes can be unforgiving if you are not solid on the material. However, he truly cares about his students and wants to see them succeed. He will not belittle you for asking any questions, and is very helpful in office hours. I am very poor at math and managed to do pretty well in this class.

Dr. Okafor is a pretty decent teacher, very clear grading criteria, quizzes every week. He wants to see his students actual try so the more you can participate the better.

Comment:

His accent is extremely heavy and he focuses way too much on SAS instead of actually teaching us how to do the math behind the codes. He gave quizzes every single day and sometimes forgot where he left off so there were questions from chapters ahead of us. He was awful. (Note: I got A's in every other math course I have ever taken) Worst professor.

Comment:

Dr. Okafor is a nice guy, but his lectures are confusing. He jumps from topic to topic and asks questions that the class has a hard time answering and ends up taking valuable time because of it. This class was way more difficult than it should've been and I would not recommend it.

Comment:

Dr. Okafor was a Calc 3 level professor teaching a Calc 1 class. Quizzes were every week, but were easy were due to only being on the subjects covered from the previous two lectures. Quizzes are two three questions and tests are 5 to 6. His lectures are done great, just take good notes and you'll pass with a relatively easy A. Did not have to study

Comment:

Okafor gives a quiz EVERY week, regardless of whether the class is ready for it. If u struggle in math, he is not the right teacher. I believe he's a better fit for much higher level math courses (thats how he treated this class). He offers no hw grades or ec, so if u are falling behind its extremely difficult to catch back up and earn some points.

There was no homework in the class, but going over the lecture notes makes the class much easier. There was quizzes every few wednesdays but everything on the quizzes and tests were clearly outlined. Overall good teacher but always go over the lecture notes.

Comment:

Okafor wants to make sure that you completely understand the subject at hand. Although he does not take up homework, I highly recommend you do all of it always as his quiz and test problems are very similar to homework problems, not in class examples. He is very clear about what he expects and what will be on assignments.

We have 7 lengthy homework assignments, that were helpful when it came to the two in-class/proctored tests. Towards the end of the semester the professor took a little longer to get back our graded assignments.

Comment:

Applied Stas can be a tough class; expect to use SAS - test questions will include your run of the mill stat questions, TF, short answer, and how to write SAS code. The TA was great and Dr. O always asks if there are any questions before beginning his lecture. He does move quickly; Expect a group project. Walk into his class expecting to learn

Comment:

Dr. Okafor has a very commanding presence. His rules for class are clear. If you show up, take notes, and try to participate and understand there is no way you should not make an A. His teaching compliments the online homework. He reinforces each new idea to build to the next. If I have to take any more math classes, I WILL search him out first.

Comment:

Okafor is a great professor, however, this class will need your 100% effort. You HAVE to go to class, if you have a question DO NOT be afraid to ask. He WILL help you if you ask for it. The test aren't too hard, just make sure you can do the practice test he provides. If you can do the practice test you can do the test. I made 90's on all my test.

Comment:

Dr. Okafor is a fair professor but can be very hard to understand. It is very hard to digest the material he is talking about so I find myself mainly having to teach myself every lesson (making each homework about 1-2 hours long). The tests are not bad, if you study and do the study guides online. Be prepared to pay close attention to lectures.

He is not a bad teacher for this class. He practices Tough love, he really wants his students to understand the materials. He gives a study sheet before test and notes are always online. Don't be afraid to ask questions he will never make you feel stupid.

Comment:

Dr. Okafor was hard to understand at times, but his class is fair. As long as you keep up on the homework and do the study guides he gives, his class isn't bad. I've never had to study for math before, in this class I did, but I came out with an A. Use Hawkes Learning System to teach yourself sometimes to complete the homework. Good teacher!

Comment:

At all costs, DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. I went in with a very positive mindset but after the first few weeks I was shutdown. He has a strong accent which makes it hard to focus and truly understand the material. Notes are confusing and homework situation is poorly structured. Please take my advice and if at all possible, do not take his class.

Have to get used to his teaching style, he comes across sort of hostile at first. LONG tests, unfortunately. Does show you the core of the subject though. Not easy but a beneficial professor for really learning.

Comment:

Going to class is pointless, as you don't learn anything. In order to pass, you must teach yourself with the online Hawkes program. Class is miserable because he asks misleading questions and makes students feel stupid when they have the wrong answer. The study guide is never even close to what is on the tests.

If good at math take online, and do not skip class even though not mandatory, easy to get behind and not keep up. But generally very easy.
