Reviews of professor Michael O'Leary

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
BEST professor. O'Leary has been a GEM this semester and there was never a class where I was bored. He is so engaging, and has sent us job opportunities already in our first semesters here at Georgetown. There is assigned readings every day. Never read any of them. LOTS of work but he gives you plenty of time, and he's a great contact for future.

O'Leary is an incredible professor who seems extremely intelligent and I would love to take him again. The class itself was good and the semester-long consulting project was incredibly formative. Having said that, the lecture content itself was really boring and useless at some points, but that is just the nature of the class structure.

Prof O'Leary is a nice guy - really approachable and even invited our class to his house for dinner. However he isn't a very clear grader. He says one thing in office hours and then will question why you did it later. He doesn't teach much either, the entirety of the course is students teaching each other. There are multiple papers to write as well

Definitely my best professor freshman year. Lectures are very interesting and O'Leary is really engaging during every lecture. There are readings for every class but you don't have to do them so long as you make a Slack post. A lot of work for a FYS but it's worth it for such a great professor.

Prof. O'Leary truly cares about his students. The class itself is interesting & each class is just students presenting. You write 2 versions of 2 papers each 6 pages long and is a tough grader. He is not very clear with his grading, but still go to office hours. Don't take this class if you are not ready to put in a lot of effort, time, & energy

Great guy, extremely helpful and I'm glad I had him. Really wish grading was more clear because sometimes i'll work really hard and not get a grade I want when some of my other papers are worse (in my eyes) and do quite well. Regardless, got a decent grade, i'm pretty happy, and he's a great guy to know in the business school. Be ready to grind :/

The GBE class with Professor O'Leary was probably my favorite class at Georgetown. The trip to Argentina after the course was life-changing. But additionally, Professor O'Leary is a nice guy and an engaging lecturer who takes the time to get to know his students outside of class. Take if you are able!

He is literally the best professor I had. He was extremely engaging and I highly recommend his FYS. The course load was not too much to handle as long as you don't procrastinate and all of the readings can be skimmed for understanding. O'Leary is the GOAT
