Mike Olinick
MATH
I did not have Mike Olinick I had Michaela Kubacki instead. This class was a lot of work and the amount of material per week was insane so definitely was overwhelming. She structured the class in a way that did maximize my learning which I appreciated and she did so in a very organized manner.
I DID NOT HAVE OLINICK, I had Evan Camrud. I also took the class Fall 2025 as a freshman. He was one of the best professors and really explained concepts very well. We had no tests, no midterm, only open-note quizzes. The final is just a retake of the quiz questions if you want to. Prof. Camrud used a "flipped" classroom style where you watch a 30 minute video on the actual lesson and in class there is a short mini-lecture. Most of class time was spent doing HW so I basically had no HW most days.

Olinick is wicked smart but also a living fossil. Really hard to hear what he is saying and he sticks to his own book very closely. Unless you push to go to office hours, this course felt self-taught.
