One of the few profs who gives challenging and interesting assignments, that had real depth to them. I had to work hard in her class, and got a lot out of it as a result. She inspired in me a lot of interest in medieval music.

Comment:
Listen, kids: Dr. Olga Malyshko is FAR beyond qualified and able to teach. But she will eat your ego whole for as long as you present it to her instead of the work/dedication she asks for. Twenty yrs after I studied under her, she continues to be real with her students & not coddle thin skins. She remains a prof of the highest value and calibre.

Comment:
By the best professor of my academic career. She is tough, and brilliant, and a wonderful teacher. Many students who were unwilling to do the work criticized her and her teaching, but if you take you academic degree seriously - then you will love her and benefit from her knowledge. She is an amazing person, and has a passion for teaching.

She is good, without a doubt. However if this is not a required course for your program, pick something else. If you love music history and the medieval era, GO FOR IT - you'll grow to love her. But don't expect her to love you back.

Dr. Malyshko is absolutely amazing, one of the best teachers in the School of Music. Those who criticize her for being rude and not understanding need to realize she is right. We are stupid and lazy, get over it and hit the books. Work hard and you will be rewarded with her. You may say she has an ego, but it is you who has the ego my friends.

Comment:
Egotistical, rude, stubborn, takes a midterm with a 50% average as a sign of useless students, not poor teaching. Outdated teaching methods, refuses to adapt, stubborn. Very intelligent, but to the benefit of her ego, not her student's learning. Ineffective, disorganized, rambling, lectures go off on unrelated tangents, and did I say stubborn yet?

Comment:
Dr Malyshko is a brilliant woman, but as a professor, I found her to be egotistical, condescending and completely useless. I really didn't enjoy her courses, they were too disorganized and unstructured. Discussion and speculation are always great things in a course, but we spent too much time discussing useless things and not enough on music

Loved her class even though it was one of the hardest I took. She never accepted mediocrity, demanded brilliance and challenged us to do better than we believed we could. I'm very happy to have taken a class with one of Queen's finest.

She is very, very, tough, but also very fair. She scared the heck out of me in class but then when I went to her individually for help she was extremely clear and helpful. She made me learn, if nothing else!

Comment:
I managed to pass her 1st semester of 105 a couple years ago. I got to know her somewhat and although she seems a cold fridget woman, probably one of the funniest profs I've known. Loves to make fun of the rest of the profs in that dull place.

If you don't like Dr. Malyshko, you haven't taken time to get to know her. Undoubtedly one of the finest profs on the university staff. Tough, yes.. but fair. How else could I have passed the 1st semester of MUSC 105?

It is difficult to describe such an amazing woman in such a short space. O magnum mysterium just came on the CD that I am listening to. Thankyou Dr. Malyshko. Thankyou. It is never enough to ask 'what?' - Dr. O. Malyshko
