Reviews of professor Tore Olsson

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. Olsson is a fantastic professor. Olsson is caring, compassionate for problems outside school, and will go out of his way to make sure you understand the material. I would highly suggest taking a class with Dr. Olsson. He makes you work for your grade, however, you will be a better student after his class is complete.

By far one of the most enthusiastic and personable professors on campus. His energy is contagious and you can tell he is really passionate about what he does. This class is tough though and requires a lot of reading and flat out hard work. But, if you put the work in you will succeed and Dr Olsson will try his best to help as much as he can.

Tore is an incredible difficult lecturer to listen to. For fifty minutes a day, three days a week, you'll listen to Tore drone on about every unimportant detail there is about the subject. Ask him a question and 8/10 times he will not know the answer. He is a nice guy but is very misleading in his lectures and in the way he grades papers and tests.

As a history major, I have obviously had numerous history professors. Dr. Tore Olsson arguably is the most prolific of them all. His American history class was an awesome experience. The first day of class, he played "Born in the USA" by Bruce Springsteen, and Dr. Olsson's attitude matched this level of enthusiasm throughout the entire semester.

His class is not easy, but he is such an excellent teacher. His eloquent, well-organized, clear-structured lectures are truly the arts that you would enjoy. A walking "bullet-points-man". Besides, he teache you things that are both deep and broad. If you fully immerse into the world he created for you, you will learn so much from this his course!

Between six textbooks, nonstop lectures, and constant pop quizzes, I am surprised I found the time to rate Tore. Do yourself a favor and find a different History professor.

Dr. Olsson gives pretty organized and interesting lectures. But his course is not easy--- you really have to put in a lot of effort!

Dr. Olsson has been my favorite professor at UTK. He is very understanding and personable, as well as a great lecturer. He teaches very interesting classes and is very passionate about his field, which makes him a great professor.

I had Dr. Olsson for Red Dead History and, it's easily one of my favorite classes I've taken at UT. It was, however, one of the most challenging, and grading is done by TAs. The class has a no-technology policy, strict attendance, and the slides don't have much information. Nonetheless, take it anyway because the lectures are so interesting.
