Reviews of professor Tetsu Ohara

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I was in Tetsu's class last term. He surely knows a lot about the subject matter. He may seem very cold and strict, but acknowledges the things that students have done well too. He also points out a lot about presentation quality, which ultimately were all helpful even outside the classroom. Be succint while presenting in front of him.

Tetsu is indeed a very strict teacher, but he is strict in a good way. He pushes me to engage critically and helps me to experiment with different design strategies. I really learned a lot in his class.

Tetsu was my first instructor at Pratt and set the tone for my academic career. This was incredibly helpful in steering my success for the rest of my graduate studies. He very much appreciates critical thinking and innovative design solutions.

I had Professor Ohara for an international class in Japan. It was an extremely work heavy intensive month of researching, data collecting, and note-taking. That being said the class was extremely fulfilling, informative, and inspirational. Prof Ohara is a hard professor that keeps you working but you take a lot out of the class as a student!!

Professor Ohara challenges your design thinking and pushes you to come up with original ideas with his guidance and robust experience in the field. Discussing design ideas with him is always exciting as he always thinks outside the box and pushes your design ideas to the next level. He doesn't waste time on busy work and keeps all work relevant.

Study with Tetsu is one of the most memorable periods of my studying at Pratt Institute. Prof. Tetsu has excellent strategies for teaching us knowledge while building a positive atmosphere in our community. I not only gained knowledge in INT 601, but have a great learning experience, which is benefiting me later.

Tetsu is great. He really cares about his students, and wants you to succeed and produce your best work -- this means he pushes you! You will be glad he did. I learned a lot from him, and I'll take the knowledge and skills I learned in his class forward as I continue through my program. Wish I could have him as an instructor again.

Great professor ! His grading is fair. Hes also always available out of class and ready to help. Gives good feedback, navigates you through the project, helps to push your own ideas further, but will not give you all the answers about what you need to do, so you learn how to think, generate your own ideas and truly understand the topic on your o
