Reviews of professor Lydia Oliver

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
She is a very tough grader. Does not prepare you well for the exams. Everyone I know has struggled with her.

She's nice but rails you on tests and quizzes. During her online lectures if you have any sort of question instead of explaining it she tells you to rewatch the lecture after its been posted. No one ever knows whats going on and she's not good at teaching the material.

Okay instructor, often times had trouble explaining things from a different angle when prompted with a question. Have to dig into the homework or find other resources if youre struggling with material and her explanation doesnt do it for you. Not really understanding even if youre in a situation outside your control. A lot of work for 2 credits.

This is one of those classes that will keep you up at night. Loads of HW and the amount of time given on exams is insane, you have to rush on each problem just so you have enough time to take pictures of every question and upload them into the correct box. If you have other options to take this class, please pick one of those you'll thank me later.

Only halfway through the semester and it's egregious. The amount of work she gives over the in-person lectures is insane... so called "written assignments" every two weeks on top of the regular homework which can consist of 30-50 problems. Only grades a select few problems, but doesn't tell you which. That's how you know it is a terrible prof.

Lydia didn't appear to teach this class at all. All learning was through the textbook and video lectures made by someone else. The tests she wrote were difficult to complete with the time limit.
