Reviews of professor Yoshinobu Odaka

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Professor is nice, however takes his time when grading assignments. Additionally he didn't do a good job preparing us for the first exam of two exams, however did a better job prepping us for second exam. Professor does offer a lot of extra credit however, which you might need to help your grade.

Dr Yoshi is truly a gem. He is very passionate about biology and just a very nice man in general. Class is not "mandatory" but there are a TON of in-class assignments for points that cannot otherwise be made up. He does not trick you on exams and makes it very clear what you need to know in order to succeed.

He's very nice and does bonus points but you only earn them if you're there so I recommend showing up. He curves the exams which are extremely helpful and he's a somewhat lenient grader, however I only wish his teaching style was different because he just goes over the slides that are online.

Hes a very nice person and cares about his students. Hes helpful and explains things more in depth if you dont understand a topic and he really cares about the class succeeding. Bonus points in class are also helpful, I would take him again

He is very nice and genuinely cares about his students. Responds to emails very quickly and is very willing to help students, however, students must ask for help when needed. Exams were challenging but his study guides were helpful. Don't skip class he give attendance points.

Dr. Odaka was amazing! I had him for 1081 as a returning older student, and he made me fall in love with biology! DO NOT MISS class! He gives out so many extra credits that gets applied to exams, so if you show up and participate, you are guaranteed a B. Read the book and study a little harder than usual and you'll get an A. My final grade was 98%!

Dr. Odaka is one of the nicest professors you'll ever work with. He cares about his students and he is passionate about teaching. Although he is new at teaching, he aspires to be better at it, so he is open for suggestions and always looks for feedback. Go to class, that'll guarantee you a better grade, do the RAs and read the book. 98% grade!

professor yoshi was very nice, you can tell that he enjoys biology and likes teaching it too. he loves to help his students and does his best at explaining concepts well. we never had a quiz, but i would definitely say when it comes to tests, using and reading though material in the textbook helps a lot.

Professor Yoshi is one of the best professors I have ever had. He sincerely cares about his students. Getting help from him outside of class is one thing I strongly recommend as well because its one on one help. He offers extra credit and does not require you to buy the book. His slides are great, too!
