I can honestly say that Obara is the WORST professor that I have experienced at UCLA. I give him credit for being intelligent, but the language barrier makes it incredibly difficult for him to convey his knowledge. His lectures consist of him putting up overheads long enough to mumble some incoherent stuff that only half the class hear, while the other half doesn't understand. Instead of showing some real EXAMPLES, he just says that it is "difficult". You have to wait until you get the homework assignments to see what a real example would look like. Also, the homework is graded soooo inconsistently! You could do the assingment with a friend and get a completely different grade on it. The midterm was a complete joke..... half the class got an A on it. Then he gives a final that NOBODY finished on time. I guess in an effort to make up for the midterm he decided to put some new mysterious material on the final that hadn't been covered. There were a couple great TAs for the class that helped us get through it. I would advoid this professor at all costs....if it means waiting a quarter to take 101...just wait! You'll see what we mean on the first day....

I am selling the course materials for ECON145. I have taken a detailed note, and I can guarantee you that the slide itself wouldn't suffice to get an A. FYI, I ended up getting an A. For detail, please text me at ********** The material is very interesting but he is not 100% clear with what he is talking about. But definitely interesting class, and you gotta remember the exams are usually harder than expected.
