Dr. Olabi is an amazing professor that truly cares about your education. She is extremely knowledgeable about a very broad range of topics which lets her tie in other subjects easily to give you a more comprehensive understanding of the topic. She is also very friendly and understanding! Shes been there and knows our struggles so she is awesome.

Dr. Olaby is an amazing professor, my favorite at CHS. She is very clear and follows the syllabus exactly. Explains things clearly and the exam/quizzes closely resemble lecture content. I advise you to be careful in the group projects as they are heavily reflected in the final grade as well as the EdPuzzles. Dr. Olaby makes biochem enjoyable! :)

I have had the pleasure of taking 3+ courses w/ Dr. Olaby, and lets just say I choose to take any class with her, I don't even care what the class is! She is so passionate, organized, and accessible to students (literally 24/7) ! Before the semester even starts, she has the ENTIRE semester posted (lecture slides, assignments, etc.). take her class!

Dr. Olaby relies heavily on long pre-lecture videos while teaching little to no material during the actual class. The class periods themselves mostly consist of group work that is tangentially related to any cell/molecular biology topics. Overall, it seems like a way for her to avoid having to give a lecture.

Professor Olabi is a very clear, professional, yet kind professor. She ensures you are on top of your work with regular attendance check ups as well as accurately difficult quizzes. She always very happy and eager to help whenever you ask her for some! I have taken 5 classes over the course of 3 years with Dr. Olabi, and I enjoyed all of them!

Dr. Olaby was a great professor! She had 6 quizzes (one quiz every 2 weeks) and a final that were mostly on lecture/pre-lecture material. The book went way more in depth than she did so it was useless to read it. She didn't give great feedback on our group project before the due date. Dr. Olaby used Kahoots in class and was flexible on some grading

I have taken many classes with Dr. Olaby and she is a great lecturer. She is very accessible outside of class and is extremely open to feedback. Her grading and assignments are fair, with quizzes and exams based mostly on her lecture slides. She also integrates assignments that are extremely applicable to research.

I have had Dr. Olaby for so many classes including Biochemistry, Advanced Cellular Molecular Biology, and now Pharmacology. Each time she has been more than amazing. She is an amazing lecturer and she is very clear with her assignments and offers so much help, going above and beyond for her students! I would recommend taking her class to anyone!
