Reviews of professor Rebecca Oliver

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
When you take public speaking, take her. She is down to earth and makes a dreaded class fun and enjoyable. As long as you follow the rubric and listen to her very helpful feedback, an A is not a problem.

I thought there would be class meetings, but this is completely online.  There are recorded lectures which help alot.  It takes discipline to do this course, but if you stay up with the homework problem and quizzes, you can do pretty good.  Dr. Oliver is available by email and offered to meet, but I didn't do that.

The was a completely online course.  Lectures are recorded, and you have a week to get through the material and take the quiz.  The material was challenging but the recordings helped a lot.  Sometimes Dr. Oliver can be hard to reach, but she's easy to work with.

I haven't taken on completely online course before.  It was hard getting a regular set up for myself.  Dr. Oliver provided a very clear week-by-week outline of the tasks to be done, and this helped a lot.  Chemistry is hard, but the recorded lectures helped alot.

This was the first online course I've taken, and it was laid out well with very clear expectations.  The lectures are recorded.  Each week there is at least one assignment due.  You email the instructor with questions and concerns.  I was surprised I did as well as I did, but I stayed on top of everything.  Good class.

Ms. Oliver is a pretty good professor. Her grading criteria is very clear. Even for a guy who is not the best speaker I get A's on all my speeches. Very simple class. Make sure you look in the textbook when calculating your grade because she has the grade locked on canvas.

Take Ms. Oliver if you can! She is great. Extremely knowledgable and tells you exactly what you need to know. As long as you do what you are supposed to do for the speeches you will get an A if you put forth your best effort. She is extremely approachable and friendly! 10/10 reccomend.

I took chemistry 1 which was supposed to be in person but because of the pandemic it got moved online. Professor Oliver has been very understanding and has done a great job adapting the course. If theres any issues, shes willing to help come up with a solution and help you succeed. She explains concepts very well and can be pretty funny.

No homework. Only one or two group projects. Grades easy on the speeches if you put in the work and are somewhat independent from speaking cards. Very supportive and gives amazing feedback. Also takes an entire class to help prepare for the final exam.
