Reviews of professor Olivia Stewart Lester

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Stewart-Lester is an amazing professor. Her lectures are clear and concise, her expectations are clear, her feedback is helpful, and she's extremely kind and caring. Class wasn't extremely difficult, but reading and attendance are key to maintaining your grade. I would definitely recommend her for your THEO classes!

Although she seems nice, the work required in this class is incredible. Forum posts every class, 3 tests including the final, and a research paper. Expect a lot of work coming from this class from reading alone, which is too much for being a core class. Take this if you have the time to waste or are very interested in the course subject.

Amazing gem of a professor. She took her work seriously and it showed in her lectures, feedback, and interactions with other students. 1 day spent doing group work and 2 days of recorded lectures. Big group project counts for most of your grade. Forum post for every recorded lecture. Clear presentations and thoughtful! Couldn't recommend her higher

I took Dr. Lester over J-term. The course work seems overwhelming at first, but it wasn't that bad. You have daily lecture assignments, 2 papers, and a final. The work is very writing heavy, but doable. She is a bit of a tough grader, but gives explanations on your mistakes. Overall, for a j-term class its manageable and all asynchronous.

Nicest and one of the most educated people I've ever met. It was an honor to be in her class. Learned a ton and was able to pretty easily get the grade I wanted.

Genuinely one of the nicest and most accommodating professors I've had at Loyola. If you fall behind in class she is willing to work with you. You can tell she wants her students to do well, and she somehow makes a theology class interesting which is pretty hard to do. Lots of forum posts, but they're not too bad, as well as 3 tests, and a project

Definitely a professor I would suggest taking for Theo 107! Her class is very engaging and be ready to participate in group discussions. She will let students share their answers to what they discussed in a group. For homework, you're assigned to do readings and submit a discussion on Sakai. Dr. Stewart Lester is a very kind professor.

Dr. Stewart Lester is one of the nicest professors at LUC. She is extremely helpful and caring and was willing to meet any time outside of class. She is extremely clear about grading policies and gives the exam questions verbatim. The class is attendance mandatory but she allows for 2 skips and the forum posts are easy to bs.
