Reviews of professor Olan Scott

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Lectures are entertaining and go by quickly. Debate and participation are strongly encouraged. The negative: grading is expectations are unclear, he is the hardest marker in the program, grading is based off of only a few things. Also, he didn't show up to a meeting with me. Avoid like the plague.

Il be honest Olan seems like he's a really nice guy but I would steer clear of taking his classes as electives. He is an extremely hard marker and in my opinion I'm a fairly competent student and just getting decent grades with him. One of the best aspects of his classes are the online functionality where you don't really need to attend lectures.

They seem like a nice enough person but are a terrible professor. As already said by others, super unclear instructions, 50% of the grade comes from group projects, and lecture slides are legit 9-10 words and very bleak. You have to hope and pray what you submit is what he wanted because he gives zero clarification. Avoid like the plague.

Seems like a nice guy, but gives extremely unclear instructions for his assignments. Almost half of the grade is determined through group projects. The project that is worth more than anything else has little to no correlation to course material, and I found it very difficult to convey my learning of the course content through his assignments.
