He rarely hits the point. It is very hard to understand the material fully. He asks you to read and have all kinds of forms homeword to be done, but never explore the texts deeply, which is really annoyinggggggg!

Condescending. I can deal with a lot of work, but the guidelines are always unclear. If you ask to clarify, all you get is ridicule. My writing gets A's in 300 level classes, but he always takes at least 5 points off my stuff. Grades peer reviews and end product at same time, mentioning something you did wrong in each version. How is that helpful?

One of the worst professors I've had. Talks the whole class and is passive aggressive, condescending, pompous etc. He gives lots of reading assignments for class and 5-6 papers with not a whole lot of time to write them.

Oh my... PLEASE avoid Dr. Olson! I have never had a professor that has cared less about students! He calls people out in class for the dumbest things. You don't know about quizzes until the class before if you're lucky. 5-6 papers for the semester and there is no break in between! Don't bother with office hours, sadly he'll just lecture you.

EXTREMELY and REPEATEDLY condescending. Typical pompous English teacher. Assignment prompts are lengthy, verbose, and yet still unclear. Don't expect to be treated like an equal. Do not take this teacher.

Never hit the point. He seems feeling mentioning something is teaching and explaining. The most awful experience in UWL.
