Comment:

He is a really good professor. I'm so glad I took him, because he gave me a great understand of statics for my future classes. The tests are difficult, and tend to only have about 5 questions. If you study hard you can usually do decent. He might not be the easiest professor, but hes a great teacher and you really will learn a lot.

Comment:

He's an incredible teacher. His lectures include examples that are just like the ones on the exams, and if you can do the homework problems you can do the exams no problem. Only issue was that exams were 55% of your grade so if you bomb a test like me, you're pretty much screwed.

Comment:

Lectures are neat, quick paced and include everything you need to know. As long as you show up to class, take notes, attempt the homework problem assigned (not collected), you should be able to get a good grade in this class. Side note, he is also a very down to earth person and can be easily reasoned with.

Comment:

Professor Olia is an outstanding teacher. He tells you what you need to know, you have to go home and try the problems to make sure you really know it, and then he tests you on it. The class is that simple, so he takes no bull. This guy is so good that he is able to do all his lectures from memory with no notes. And he's perfectly accurate!

Really liked his teaching style. I found he was able to get information across to his student in a way that they are able to retain the information and apply it when appropriate. Highly recommended.

Comment:

Olia is fair. But he is nothing more than fair. He is overly strict about test time. Lecture will almost always go until 4 but tests must be turned in by 3:50. and he skimps on partial credit. Dont take him if there is another choice. He can be a prick if you are struggling.

Olia is the man!! To all of you who claim he is a tough grader... really? He spells out what he wants. Just give him that and you'll do good. He doesn't accept lates, and why should he, he gives you a week to do assignments. One of the smartest professors at WIT

One of the best at WIT, too good to be teaching here. Take this guy if you want to learn your stuff. Teachers like this produce quality engineers. Difficult classes and he is a militaristic grader, but fair. Better know your stuff if you want to get a good grade

One of the most intelligent prof's at WIT. He won't give you your grade, you have to earn it; but he is very fair. If you don't like to study take another section.
