Calculus II with Professor Olinick was a very challenging endeavor. The homework is graded pretty lightly, and it is manageable. However, the content in the exams is very difficult, and I often found myself staying in the exam room for extended periods of time. Professor Olinick was a relatively fair grader, apart from a couple of occasions. Be ready to study a lot in preparation for this course.

This was my favorite math class at Middlebury thus far. The final project allowed for me to explore a topic I was interested in and the exams were very fair. He was also very accommodating with the homework being late.

Olinick was a great professor! I really enjoyed his lectures. His explanations made the material easier to understand. He is also very helpful and patient during office hours, demonstrating that he has our best interests at heart. Exams are very straightforward if you pay close attention to the textbook and redo homework problems before each exam. Professor Olinick never tries to trick or surprise us on exams. Every question is one we've seen before in class/in the textbook. There also is not a lot of homework if you plan accordingly, so you can have more time to read through the textbook.
