Reviews of professor Jocelyn Olick

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Professor Olick is very knowledgeable in SLA. She taught me so much information and made us do A LOT with it. I've never had a class with this much work required. The assignments given do reflect your learning which helped me retain a lot of it. Zoom meetings are mandatory, and your camera must be on. Expect to spend a lot of time on this class.

Professor Olick was a rough grader. We obviously wrote many papers, and she often deducted points with little to no reasoning. When students challenged her grading, because in many instances directions were unclear or incorrect, she would become upset and even said once you guys are just being harsh. It is hard to receive an A in her class.

Clear expectations and you don't need to know a foreign language to take the class. Log in on time and be ready to have your camera on. She is strict about the camera and being on time. Logging in right on time is considered late. You get what you earn in the class. Weekly discussions, 2 papers/glossaries, plus a lesson plan in front of the class.

I recommend Professor Olick for English 1001. If you put in the work you are guaranteed a passing grade. Make sure to never skip a reading response. I loved how she slowly walked me through learning APA format, because it will benefit you for the final!! She offered one extra credit assignment, but you dont even need the E.C. Make sure to show up!
