Reviews of professor Michelle Olsen

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I've had her for multiple classes. She's a very knowledgeable professor! Those who complain are probably not focused on her lecture. I learned quickly that all of the test material is on her slides. Go to class, participate, study the slides, know the mechanisms of interactions at the cellular level and you'll be fine!!

Didnt give clear explanations. Tests were extremely difficult and she offered no exam reviews or study guides. This was the intro course and it was graded rather harshly as well.

Dr. Olsen is very knowledgeable in the subject material, however, the way her lectures are formatted made it really difficult to learn. It felt like she was talking so fast and delivering so much information information at once, which was really overwhelming for an introductory class. Her tests focus heavily on small details, so be prepared.

Loved this teacher, she holds outside of class study sessions before every exam where she leaves it up to you to ask whatever questions you want. I personally felt the material was excruciatingly dense and difficult, but she uses study guides and sticks to them pretty well. She'll only ask big picture questions, not stump you with small details

Really great, smart professor. The class was hard and tests were tough, but very straight forward class. The assignments and lectures give you a lot of information to process, but present it pretty clearly so you know exactly what to study for exams. She really cares about student's understanding, so ask questions!! Go to class and take good notes.
