Reviews of professor John O'Hara

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
The final project is worded very strangely, but he offered good feedback on how to handle the project, and graded said project very fairly. The labs were graded very fairly, as well.

Professor O'Hara was completely rude and unaccommodating during the Covid-19 pandemic. I was forced to drop his class by him and his superiors after the first two meetings because I had a class on campus 15 min after his class ended, and living 30 min away, I would need to listen to the last 15 min of his class like a podcast. Unacceptable behavior

You must write everything from the PowerPoints as fast as you can. Mostly Midterm and Finals were extremely Hard! You must show up for every class or you WILL Fail. You only get graded on two Field Projects. Didn't really understand on what he was talking about. YOU HAVE TO READ A LOT!

I don't know if it was just me but, from day one he was trying to fail me. he said that he would send zoom links through email then randomly stopped without telling anyone. that cause me and a few others to start the year with 4 absences. he will not talk to you if you do not properly head your emails. also he falsely accused me of plagiarism.

Probably one of my favorite professors Ive had at CCM. Coming from high school, I really didnt know what to expect. He really inspired me, motivated me, and I learned so much. Professor O'Hara's lectures were awesome. I really enjoyed the subject, so to me it really wasnt work. Yes, there is readings you have to do, and quizzes. But its college

Might as well just buy the textbook and save $1200. He held office hours, but he only provided the PowerPoints that were included with the class syllabus and reading assignments. He did not have lectures pre-recorded to go along with the PowerPoints, which needed explanations to be clear. Good luck if you have trouble learning from reading alone.
