Professor Olko is a caring professor, I took her class online which I was initially fearful of but she stay true to what she post online and discusses everything during lecture. If you do all your work you're sure to get a good grade. Weekly tests and discussion board post are expected but if you do all your work you're sure to get a good grade.

I wish there were more like her- the world would be a better place! I want to be just like her! TAKE HER!!!!! You will be amazed! I hope she reads this and knows how special she is.

Can't say enough about Prof Olko! She is a beautiful soul that makes you feel like you are family to her. She explains things very well and you just need to do a paper and 1 test weekly. I would take her over and over again if I could. Definitely recommend!

What can I say about Prof Olko!!! Hands down THE BEST Professor I have ever come in contact with! The way she makes you feel like FAMILY is mind-blowing! I miss her already and the semester just ended! If I have other psych classes, she will be the one that I will rearrange my schedule with to have again as she is a blessing!
