Quarter: Fall 2025
Grade: I
Verified Reviewer This user is a verified UCLA student/alum.

This class is borderline unbearable (Econ 142 Economics of Networks). Unfortunately, Obara's lectures are convoluted, directionless and confusing. He reads off the slides all class, does very few in-class examples and is often corrected by students for mistakes he makes himself. The midterm looked similar to the singular practice exam he gave, but to figure out any of the answers you must look online, you will not find helpful examples or directions from the slides. Moreover, the content is straight up boring. It attempts to combine game theory and matrices, but generally teaches you nothing. I would not recommend this class for a student who wants to learn OR for a student who simply wants to register for any easy class.
