Reviews of professor Alix Olson

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
My favourite professor this semester. She brings a whole world of feminism to me. She helps me to understand the world much more deeply from a feminist perspective. You can go to her office hours before any essay and project to discuss your topic with her to make sure an A. Love Dr Olson and love her class.

One of my favorite people on campus. I have learned more in the last year by taking two of her classes than I have learned anywhere else. The readings can sometimes be complicated or long, but it is completely worth it and she takes the time to explain. As long as you put in the effort and show that you care, you have nothing to worry about :)

Olson is a great lecturer and super knowledgeable. The reading was a lot, though.

Dr. Olson is a wonderful professor! She is so helpful and willing to work with her students. I have taken two courses with Dr. Olson and both times have not been disappointed. She is very knowledgable and only wants to share than knowledge with her students. Being in class is key to success as all exams are heavily based on discussion material.

Dr. Olson gives us so many new ideas and ways to see the world. There is a lot of reading but it all is important and relevant to our everyday lives. She's also really understanding especially right now when we're all struggling. We're almost finished with the semester and I already want to take another class with her!

Dr. Olson's class was really life changing for me and helped me to think aoout so many things in a new way. You do need to do the reading to keep up with the pace because there are lots of topics discussed but most of it is pretty interesting anyway. Also Dr Olson brought us snacks and was generally super caring and helpful in office hours.

Don't miss your chance to take this class! I learned so much and it's my first semester as Oxford (I think it's Dr. O's first year too). I'm a bio major but Dr. O. breaks WGSS ideas down in a way we can all understand. She's also funny which always helps in a morning class. There are pop quizzes but they're not bad if you do the reading.

Dr. Olson is an incredibly kind professor that cares about her students. I personally felt that her political beliefs were a bit radical and that she forced those beliefs upon us as opposed to making it an open environment. There is a lot of reading per night, but discussion during class is pretty laid back.

Dr. Olson is so so so compassionate, and she is super knowledgable about wigs and poly sci. Readings and lectures were genuinely interesting. The 2 papers and the final are kinda difficult, but all other assignments are pretty easy. If you participate in class, and put in work on the 2 papers and final, you will do well.
