Reviews of professor Taylor Oliver

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I took Dr. Olivers class during the winter break, she followed exactly the syllabus with clear grading criteria. She gives insightful feedback for each assignment! Definitely recommend!

Dr. Oliver is clear and reasonable.The topics are very interesting and at times you'll feel your mind expanding, which is a good thing, but never defeating or overwhelming. She's a great communicator and inspiring, our class actually bonded! I will seek future classes of hers! I still think about how what we learned applies to real life.

I took this class since I needed it for transferring and I have to say this professor is rather good. She gives good feedback and is willing to help you out so don't be afraid to ask questions. Also just a heads-up, there's a lot of reading in the textbook. So if you don't want to read everything, just look at her PowerPoints. Overall great prof.

I took her for summer and she was very easy. There was a lot of work within the 6 weeks, but it was very easy. She is a tough grader on discussions, but if you put a lot of detail in your examples and she will grade you very fair. Just show some effort. You will use the online program that comes with textbook, so you need to purchase it.

super organized canvas, uses online textbook, 1 quiz a week, 1 discussion post a week. tests are after every 3 chapters. gave extra credit. kinda a tough grader but as long as you do your work and try your best you'll be fine. no real midterm/final

I took the 1 month long psych 101 course from her. The textbook is expensive but quizzes are easy. Didnt study for tests just looked up the question topics as I went. Passed every test. Shes tough on the discussion posts which was surprising. Overall, pretty easy teacher and super fast class. This was definitely less hw than a semesterlong course

Super clear and somewhat easy class. If you try and put effort in you will get an A.

I've seen many bad reviews of Professor Oliver which made me hesitant to enroll in her summer course. However, from personal experience I would like to acknowledge her for being a great professor. She has straight forward grading criteria, interesting lectures, and is well rounded overall. Tests are easy. She grades hard on discussions. Be detailed

I took this over the summer of 2022 and it was a nice class. I never felt overwhelmed and overall I felt like she was a good teacher. I learned a lot from the class for how fast paced it is(as summer classes are), and definitely recommend her to others! Her class does have tests that you must do good on but they aren't that hard!
