This prof is the worst I have ever had. He is rude and sometimes dont know what hes talking about. I would NOT recommend him for a course.

OMG! Stay away....you'll never be more confused over the simplest little things!

This was the worst teacher I have ever had. He is not helpfull at all. He dodged everyone's questions in class and only his examples are acceptable. He did try in the end but only after the average mark on the midterm was below 40 and many people dropped the course. Not a good experience at all!!

he doesn't know how to teach!!!!!!

Does not know how to teach. A suggestion would be to use text books that are actually available for purchase, instead of an entire class trying to make do with one single copy on reserve. Far too much photocoping, at least 45 min. after every lecture.

This prof was very hard to listen to, and hard to understand. He was rude and didn't respond to questions effectively. I do not recommend this course taught by anton. I usually do really well and this course was my worse one ever

Unclear and confusing. Trying to take good notes in class was difficult because he went so fast and slides were hard to read sometimes. Few felt comfortable speaking up in class. It's hard to say what he was expecting from students. Kept adding things on, like readings and weird optional assignments

very hard to follow, would definately not recommend him to anyone. was rude at times, and like someone else said, he always critized students answers, only his own were correct. No room to speak your own opinions. wait to take the course with paul ripley!

He sucks, and I hate his guts...he brought my average down a crap load...LEARN HOW TO TEACH!!!! Please don't take a class with him ever!

horrible teaching!

By far the worst Prof I've had in my entire University experience. He is horrible at teaching and he's not very understanding at all. Not a very nice Prof at all.

NOT a good prof....I would even consider him being the worst prof I have ever had...he makes no attempt to speak english properly, is rude and distant when you go to see him about the course...and in class he uses terms that has nothing to do with the actual course... which makes it all the more difficult to understand..

worst.prof.ever. he was rude, unorganized and expected us to have tons of background knowledge and made us feel stupid when it was evident that we didn't. i was so excited about taking this course and i couldn't possibly be more disappointed with it.

Very rude, not helpful at all and hard to understand. He really needs to work on being more friendly and more concerned with his students.

the hardest course I ever took. He seemed to mark ok at the beginning, but he is impossible to understand. The material for this course was all over the place and there was never a clear objective for what the students in the class were expected to know. TOTAL STRESS

This Prof is very hard to understand and his lectures are very boring. For example, attendance is mandatory and yet only 15/40 ppl show up to class. He is very unclear on his expectations and most of my attention in class is spent trying to figure out what he is trying to say.

I've taken two courses with him. Why? because I believe in giving people a second chance. Even the second time around he was useless. He Still talks to the board, doesn't know how to speak proper english, gives Ridiculous tests, marks unfair...he's still useless. I would NOT reccommend him to ANYONE.

Why is the man still teaching??? He either needs to go back and learn how to be an effective teacher, or just quit.

Oh my god. I was thinking that my English was bad, try Oelinik you will see what is torture. The poor man doesn't know what is he talking about. The worst Prof in the Sociology department. Don't take his classes.

This guy is absoltely ridiculous. He cannot speak English, has terrible grammar, and you can barely understand what he is saying in class. Worst prof I have EVER had. AVOID. Have no idea why he is teaching, he obviously hates it.

HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE Prof!! If you can avoid taking a class with him, do so at all costs (although if you're a major in Sociology you will have to take his methods class because it's a required course... just hope Ripley is correcting your work). He's rude and doesn't offer any help. I really hated going to class if he was teaching. So confusing!

Very hard to understand between his accent and unclear examples, he looks at the floor most of the time instead of the students. He is arrogant however His tests are fair but is a bit tougher on essays. I have been getting good marks consistently in this course but it has take A LOT of effort on my part and is too much for a 1000 level course.

This prof is terrible! I would definitely not recommend. He's hard to understand and he's very rude to people in the class when they come in late or leave early. The only reason I went to that class was because attendance was worth 10%. Hardest 10% to earn ever because of the language barrier. You're better off teaching yourself.

avoid this teacher at all cost! he constantly paces back and forth and doesnt stand still, hard to concentrate, he also speaks broken english and pauses alot, it is a huge language barrier. overall not impressed with my experience with him as a prof. he goes through the slides too quick and talks to fast AVOID!

Anton is very intelligent when it comes to Sociology however I don't think he enjoys teaching, especially when student's need help. A couple of times when students in my class asked him for help, he was very rude and in fact, laughed at them. Would not recommend.

He is a smart man but is very critical. If someone has the courage to speak up on something hell criticize so much no one wants to speak up at all. Sometimes he'll laugh at you or doesn't care if you ask for help. And it's very hard to understand him. He goes really fast and doesn't give clear explanations on anything.

By far the worst prof I have ever had... Very unclear as to what he expects and incredibly rude to his students. He goes too fast and simply becomes annoyed when you ask him to slow down or if you ask for help. If you do not immediately understand the topic you are made to feel stupid. This is my second class with him and it will be my last.

Is extremely rude and cares little to tk not ally about his students. I found whenever a student had a problem or question he would look down on them. Hes intimidating and I will never take him again. Lectures are confusing as he puts unnecessary quotes in lectures that make little to no sense on the topic. Tests are difficult.

Dr. Oleinik is rude and arrogant. No respect for students or faculty members. He should not be teaching at MUN. Go to Professor Ripley's class. 100 times better and a much more approachable person.

Dr. Oleinik is rude and arrogant. No respect for students or faculty members. He should not be teaching at MUN. He would be much happier doing research then teaching

The only saving grace in taking 3040/3041 in my experience was having Paul for the lab portion. Anton will attempt humor in class, but is condescending and dry. For the department to have him teaching a mandatory class is a disservice to students.

Not only did he send out the IP address of everyone in my lab slot, he laughs at us when we ask questions and is insanely rude towards students. We sent him a class email on how we felt and he said it was based on "Hearsay" instead of acknowledging it.

Hands down, worst prof I've ever experienced. I've attended three different universities over the course of my life, and Anton stands out as the worst professor I've had. He's cruel, arbitrary, mocks students, and doesn't understand qualitative methods. It's unfortunate that the methods course is required and he's the only one teaching at undergrad

Not an easy course. Dr. Oleinik can be rude and makes fun of students' questions. A very tough grader with very unclear grading criteria. He is very fast paced and it's hard to keep up also he doesn't post lecture slideshows.

Angry, hateful little person. Avoid at all costs.
