Reviews of professor Chris Olds

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Out of all the professors that I have encountered Mr. Olds is the worse. He never answers my questions , and if you have a valid questions, he gets all huffy and puffy. I mean the reason you're in the class is to learn and not have the professors try to refute your questions.

      Prof Olds gave multiple extra credit opportunities in the ir class. I completed a few in case I missed assignments at the end of the semester or did badly on the final. The extra credit helped me to not worry about my grade in his class.

     He gives detailed feedback and it can be irritating to start but after time it shows he really cares

I enjoyed the american politics class. The teacher was respectful. I could give my opinions on the news like abortion and immigration if I based it on facts. We could say anything if we did not argue on topics. His grading was fair with no bias against conservative view.   I will take another class with him for electives.

I like how he provided bonus points on what we learned. There was less stress worrying about the grade. That was big since summer classes are only 8 weeks. Clear grading with a lot of written feedback. Recommend Olds for international relations in the summer.

Our 675 seminar was all discussion with Professor Olds. The required book was free. Professor Olds asks questions about the book that make you think deeper. I would take another class with him but all of my requirements are finished. The class would have been even better if it were a whole semester.
