Greatest prof of all time.

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Easily the best professor I've ever had at the college level.  She cares so much about her students and shows it with how much time and effort she puts in during and after class to make sure you understand. She always inspired me to keep going and telling me that I could do it which I've never had a professor do.  The best of the best.

She explains the topics the properly and breaks down every step of the math problem to make sure everyone understands it. 2 tests, few homework and quizzes, and one final.

Great professor for a very difficult course. Homework is mostly optional, but you should still do it for practice. Allows re-takes for tests and really seems to care about teaching. The concepts taught in class are not easy and she does a great job at giving enough materials to practice and study with. Each lecture is important so don't miss them!

Had Olga as my discussion professor and trust me, she is nothing but the BEST. Wish I had her as my lecture professor rather than Yusuf. If you ever get the chance, you will never regret taking her!

Makes difficult course very comprehensible to everyone - administers clear grading criteria and gives room to revise anything graded. Best math professor at UMB without a doubt.

absolutely loved her, she was always willing to help and wanted everyone to succeed. she gave practice exams before every exam which was almost identical to the real one. homework is given but most the time isnt required. show up to class, take notes and do the practice exams and you can def pass with at least a B.

Olga was my discussion professor during Math 140 with Yusuf. I gained more seeing her once a week than I did in class with Yusuf. Highly recommend taking any class with her as she has a true talent for making information easy to understand. She was lovely and goes above and beyond to ensure you are truly learning.

I have Prof. Olga for discussion and Prof. Yusuf for the actual class session. What Prof. Yusuf teaches in a week, Prof. Olga can teach in 30 mins. She is the nicest professor I've met & extremely accommodating. You can tell she wants the best for her students. Definitely going to try to get her for MATH141! If you have the chance, take her!!!
