Comment:

Great guy and very enjoyable. Loves to teach and shows that every day. Wants you to do well, but his exams can be slightly confusing with his wording. Helpful if you go to his office hours. Textbook and online workplace are great to help better understand the info. Big group project due at end of semester. DONT WAIT TILL THE LAST MINUTE

Very enthusiastic! He loves teaching and that's obvious! Study for the tests and spend a lot of time on the project, he grades harder than the rest of the class. Great professor, and even better person, he has no problem stopping to talk on campus!

Comment:

He is terrible. The class is all busy work. He picks his favorites right away. If he doesn't like you he will grade you harder. For all the people saying they are what they are because of him are overstating. Whenever he is asked a question he uses a useless example to answer it. He thinks everyone will teach in an area where the kids want tolearn

I loved Dr. Olivo! Such an enthusiastic and funny professor. Mixes up his teaching methods and tries to make the curriculum as interesting as possible. Tests are rather difficult, and the project is VERY time-consuming. Olivo rewards students for their hard work with extra credit points.

One of the best (especially in Bus Ed). I learned more about Business Education in his class than any other. You are going to have to work hard!!! But it pays off.

Incredible teacher - best teacher I had all through college, cared the most about the students, wanted you to understand, very passionate about teaching. This is what all teachers should teach like, and you'd realize that if you were going through the Bus. Ed. program. He was difficult at times, but if you do the work you did well. Awesome teacher!

WOW, lots of activities for a 3 hour class. PB&J Sandwich Factory was fun, a good review for the final and a good way to end the course. His tests are not easy, but you can take a team test. He wants you to learn about business in a fun way....outside assignments to help your grade if you are not a good test taker....fun class....funny prof.

this class is easy if you have experience with business. his tests are real hard because he doesnt make them himself, and theyre from the book. he makes up for it with really fun and interesting alternative activities. i enjoyed this class a lot... it helps if you have good friends because you do a lot of group work.

This class was very hard and demanding. Be ready for doing nothing else if you have him for methods. Just follow his rubrics and you should do fine. Although, he is sort of a jerk.

Comment:

He is one of the most enthusiastic profs i've ever had. One can tell he really cares about his job and works hard to do it. His tests are kinda hard because he doesn't really go over the type of questions that will be on the tests. Make sure you always show up to class bec there is always points you can receive from diff activities he makes you do.

This class was a great class. If you keep up with the reading, take the tests with a partner, and go to class there is no way you can do bad in this class.

Comment:

HORRIBLE. He is not real with his expectations and he belittles students. He will send out mass e-mails telling the class how horrible they did on an assignment. I think he needs to take an ethics & manners class. He clearly has none....This class should be a confidence booster not a slatter house.

I thought Dr. Olivo was amazing. He really likes it when you participate in class. He does his best to know who you are and what your name is. There is alot of group work in his class and you will meet alot of different people. I loved his class = )
