Reviews of professor Tetsushi Ogata

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Well-organized and intelligent. Highly respected by Int'l Studies students. Initially intimidating but warm and caring. Peace Studies can be theoretical yet interesting and relevant. Offers one-on-one tutorials for student support. Exams challenging but fair grading.

He always asks the students very insightful questions based on the reading materials he gave prior to the class. The reading is around 70 pages per class. To be honest, it was one of the hardest classes I ever took for 100 level. However, I learned a lot from him and would like to take his class again. You suffer a lot, but in a good way.

Lecture heavy class with interesting but deep topics. He does give extra credit tho but it can be a lot for a 100 lvl course. Took him for peace studies. He is a nice guy who knows what he is talking about so it can be heavy in terms of lecture, vocab, and a large amount of readings. :/ Advice: Study dates, names of authors, & main ideas for tests.
