Reviews of professor Jay Olinger

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
ART215. Coursework load is intense! Be prepared for LOTS of work. Weekly reading, discussion posts + peer replies, weekly quiz. Midterm + final + course reflection quiz. Lecture slides are amazing. Jay is kind, and organized, but expects a lot.

Not a bad instructor but the workload for this class was too much for me. It felt like I was in a writing class which made me regret taking it because of the required word counts and almost all of these assignments were writing heavy. The grading in this class reminds me of the teachers that don't account for you having a life outside of class.

Essays with min word count. At times I felt as if it was a writing class and I didn't like the pressure of writing essays. I learned some things that I most likely wouldn't have learned on my own though, so...., _/meh_

"Analyzes aesthetic qualities unique to comic books and graphic novels in artistic, historical, and literary contexts using seminal texts" 

Not one text is seminal to comics, comic art, or literature. All modern feminist works. If you have a genuine interest in seminal works pertaining to the art form and literature, this class probably isn't it.

Jay was accessible and flexible. Their assignments were clear and somewhat easy and very understandable. Be ready for a lot of work, though.

If you are here then that means you are looking for the right instructor. Jay Olinger is great at what she does . extremely organized, material is informative. answers to questions, discussion board is not boring. I took art 101 during the summer, and I wasn't overwhelm even though it was a compress course. Highly recommend!
