Comment:

He is the best math teacher I have ever had. He's adorable and hilarious. He is very difficult and you have to actually put effort in to pass. Overall, i deserved to fail his class but he saw that i cared, never skipped a class, and would go to outside tutoring once a week, so he passed me even though i truly didn't deserve to pass.

Comment:

Class was overall good. He Defiantly knows what he is talking about and is always on time with handing papers back. I had him twice week for an hour and 45 minutes and would use all that time teaching. Assigned homework every class and usually gives you full credit if you at least attempt the problems. When it comes to grading test he is very hard.

Comment:

Olsen is a horrible professor who lies about how he grades to get people to take his class. He says that he gives you every chance and every credit but you soon find out that he will deduct every point he can. You will never be able to get the highest grade you can get in his class because his point system is flawed. Don't take his classes.

Very fun and interesting teacher I had him fall semester 2012. You definitely have to show up to understand and pass the class. I would take him again. Never a dull moment in his class. He is NOT mean & doesn't pick favorites.

Comment:

He gives loud voice lectures, great notes and addtional credits. His office is open. He is the most helpful professor. He is the greatest mathematics professor in DE. However, it is not easy to get A. This teacher is the best. It depends on your effort. I think you should take his courses.
