Reviews of professor Megan Olsen

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Difficult course. Projects are hard and the textbook provides little information pertaining to assignments. Final grade based on 4 projects, group project, and final. The class notes she provides are good, but the planning of when assignments are due gets messy/overlap. This class has a workload of 3 classes in one. Take with other easy classes.

I feel like this class depends on you. Her notes are clear and helps a lot during the exams, labs and lectures. As a new person to coding, Prof Olsen did a good job introducing me to it. The office hours are the keys to this course. During those hours she will go step by step and basically writes you the code. If you stay on top, u will be fine.

Dr. Olsen is a very hard professor. She does not help her students when you ask her questions nor when you go to her office hours. This class also had a heavy amount of work and it was a very challenging course especially for a beginner.

Extremely difficult class with a grading scale that is hard to understand. The workload for this class is like none I've ever experienced before - hardest CS class. Professor is very willing to help at office hours. Lectures are very organized and easy to follow, but not always helpful to be able to translate the concepts into code

Dr. Olsen kind of cares about her students, but the assignments we're assigned are difficult and time-consuming, and take away time for other classes. PAs are much more difficult than lecture material. Yes CS is a more difficult field, but this was too much for an intro class. Work due tue, wed, and fri on top of quizzes once every two weeks.

The grading structure makes it easy to do well. May have to practice in your own ways and ask questions in office hours / online student forum. Her explanations are clear and sufficient, but there lacks time spent exploring concepts on a deeper level, which can cause you to get stuck later on.

This course is really hard if you are a beginner. Dr.Olsen was ok in the classroom, but the work outside of it was very hard and too time consuming. I have never spent so much time on course, I don't recommend taking her. Also changes her office hours a lot and not very helpful during them. Condescending when you ask a question, and has favorites.

Overly hard for an easy coding language. She grades tough, only wantes her way for each assignment, and. unwilling to help when needed.

Terrible. Does not help at all. Would never take her class again
