Mike Olinick

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.

Olinick is a super nice person and he knows a lot about Calculus! He is very funny and sometimes makes jokes when he is teaching! He is also very kind and willing to help and re-explain concepts during office hours which are offered almost everyday at a variety of different times. His lectures can be a little boring at times but they are easy to follow and cover what is on the homework. He also has hints to the homework assignments on his website which are super helpful and he hands out the answer key in class the next day. His website also has sample exams which look pretty similar to the actual exams and are helpful when studying.

Olinick is literally 100 years old, however he knows his stuff extremely well. Sometimes spends too much time on the easy stuff while breezing through the more difficult topics. In order to be successful, completing the optional homework and going to office hours if you need help is important. In addition, there are 3 exams, a final, 2 projects, and optional extra credit problems.
