Reviews of professor Lydia Oliver

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
She is the absolute worst, goes beyond assigning the HW the in-person classes have - an insane amount of problems from the textbook every two weeks, where she grades "randomly selected" problems. IMAGINE THAT! There is also WEEKLY HW on Cengage. You have to submit individual problems for exams, which consumes so much time. Offers 50 points of EC.

She assigns mountains of homework, Do NOT start these last minute! Im talking about 30+ problems per assignment, and some homeworks will be basically all proofs, so be ready to write about 20 pages of proofs. Took her online class, it's insane she expects us to finish the whole test and write a whole proof and upload it in under 75 minutes.

BEWARE!!! She was not available the week before finals because she went out of town. She makes up keep track of our own grades and has a ridiculous point system because i might fail the class because i don't have enough points but i have a "b" in the class. SHE IS TERRIBLE

No, just no. If you aren't naturally a mathematical person, then Lydia Oliver is not the math professor for you. Her lectures are SO boring and her exams are SO hard. She makes you use one website for homework, another for exams & reviews, and another for discussions. She also doesn't put your grades from the different websites in one place.

I attended every lecture, when I emailed or reached out to her, she took WEEKS to replay. Stated she can't meet out of office hours (I had lectures during that timeframe). She didn't try much to help you understand the work, even when you asked during lecture, will circle back on different topics. PLS DON'T TAKE THIS CLASS!
