Reviews of professor Olya Murphy

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
SOSC 2330 is an interesting course thats keeping me on my toes! Olya has done everything as our TA to make sure I succeed even if it meant I handed in something late/resubmitted. I find her level of caring to be immensely refreshing from other TAs Ive had. Her tutorials & office hours are super helpful. Knowledge in the course is exceptional.

Hard marker, does not clearly understand concepts herself yet expects students to do exceptional in assignments. Is not open to hearing students opinions and only wants to speak on what she feels is correct regardless of whether the student is correct or not.

One of the bestest TAs Ive ever had! She is amazing and kind and really cares for her students. You need to do the work and go to the classes and attend tutorials. She is very reasonable, and she will always reply outside of tutorial and lecture hours. Overall Olya is an amazing teacher, if given the chance I would definitely take her again!!!

Very intellectual TA when it came to economics. Knew her material, but was difficult to understand as she had a very thick European accent. She would miss words in between sentences and loose track often& would get a little upset with the class for not participating. It's not high school, if we don't know the material, move on. No lecture needed

She really knows her stuff and explains the material really well. You have to do the work and attend or you will get lost but she is very fair.
