Very, very helpful!

Good teacher with very clear class instruction. There are NO suprises on tests or due dates.

His study guides are the best I have ever encountered. He really helps you focus on the "important" elements of the class.

He is a great help. He also explains ideas clearly and accuratly. I've never had a teacher that actualy helped me enjoy math!!

jeff would take the time to go over any questions we might have in class or at his office he would explain things then expect the homework to be practice perfect teaching methods

I have taken 2 online Algebra classes with Prof Olsen. He is very helpful when you have a question and sends emails each week re: your status, etc. He requires you to log in to the math program (Aleks) a certain # of hours per week and the only time you have to go on campus is for the final exam. I would highly recommend this professor!

Jeff Olsen is a good math teacher. He has fun teaching, and it is relatively easy to get a good grade with a little study and effort.

Took Math 096 online & chose this prof because he was great for Math 095. The Aleks program that is used is fantastic. Math has always been a struggle but thanks to the program & teacher I feel that I can be successful in my future math courses. I can't speak for him in lecture format, but he's very helpful as an online prof. Highly recommended.

He is the best math teacher I've had. I am TERRIBLE at math! He ALWAYS explains in detail, will stay after to help, or refers you for extra help. His class is hard b/c you have to be ready for the next level. But he gives work &tests that are 100% related to what you are learning and if you do the study guides and homework you can pass.

Jeff was, to me, a good professor. I saw the other ratings and found it hard to believe how low the ratings are. Sure, he can be a tad strict and picky, but if they aren't then it will make anyone procastinate. He opened my eyes on how math works. he shows different methods of how to do a problem and tells you why its done the way its done.

When I signed up for Prof Olsen I was scared b/c of his previous ratings. He is a really good teacher. He creates note outlines for you so that you can follow in class. He can move a bit fast at times but is ALWAYS available for questions and help outside of class. He also emails back within an hour any time of day. You are going to have to study.

Jeff is a good teacher. He uses outlines so you can follow him through his powerpoint. he rarely uses the textbook, but it gives you a lot of practice. I tend to go to the tutoring center almost 3x/week for this class.

real good, very impersonable

The best math teacher I have ever had. He is very helpful and he always compliments my accomplishments in the class.

Jeff is a great teacher. He uses real world applications for most of the stuff you learn, and he's always available for help when you need it. He even makes videos and posts them online so you can watch them at home. You'll have to study to get a good grade, but shouldn't you have to?

Mr Olsen is a very smart person and seems to be bored teaching remedial math classes. He often uses material that is beyond the requirements for the course and not in the textbook. He may be a better choice for high section courses.

Jeff is an excellent instructor. He always responds to emails, encourages students to ask questions, willingly explains things, and gives a personal progress report and praise at the end of each objective. He has never made me feel inadequate or stupid despite how difficult Math is for me sometimes. Highly Recommend!

Jeff is a great teacher if you are willing to put in the effort. He actually wants you to learn the material so you have a foundation for future classes. It can be difficult but he is very willing to help if you seek it from him. Responds to ALL emails and is available for office hours. He wants students to succeed. I got a high B

Mr Olsen is very helpful. Even if its a weekend he would reply to my inbox messages. I think this is very important in that way we are able to proceed with the other topics rather than getting stuck in a topic and wait

Jeff was a great instructor. Very thorough, but if your not willing to put in the time and effort then look for someone else. Yeah he gives homework, but it is so you understand the concepts. Best advise, go to class, take notes, do home work, use his office hours. If you put in the effort he will help you succeed!

He is tough but fair. He is very responsive to questions.

He is always willing to help, but the class goes so fast that if you don't get something, it would be better if you start looking for help.

Okay so I have taken Jeff Olsen's 095, 096, and now I am about to take his 126 class. He is the only teacher in my 24 years that has been able to explain math in a way that i can understand it. Anyone who says he does not give good feedback, or feels that he doesn't explain the topics thoroughly does not take the time to actually ask him questions.

There is quite a bit of homework but if you do it, the tests are no problem.

He was a pretty good teacher. But you can't expect him to hold your hand through the class. If you don't understand math very well, then do the reading. Ask questions. And show up to class. He genuinely enjoys math and I think he wants other people to enjoy it too. So show that you want a good grade and he will help you understand the material.

Jeff is a math whiz and he uses a lot of real life examples that helped me to understand the material. If you don't get it, he will walk you through it until you do. Utilize his office hours, doe reading and the homework and you will do well!

Class starts off rough unless you are already familiar with algebra. The online assignments do not require that expensive math software, it's free. Somewhat used the math book. This was my experience for the SPRING term. A great teacher and he responds to questions after and during class.

I would recommend Jeff Olsen to anyone who would like to really learn the material. If you are just trying to knock a class out of the way then you may want someone else. His class is informative and interesting. If you take the time to try and understand, he is always willing to help. He isn't the laugh a minute type so don't expect that.

Mr. Olsen is a fantastic teacher. He is passionate and it shows in his style of teaching. If you are out to just pass a class then you might try someone else, but you really want to learn and retain the information then he is the person for you. He gives a lot of work, but provides all the tools to succeed and is always willing to help.

There is a lot of homework. Everything is posted and even can be worked on ahead if you wish to. Very well explained and tries to help everyone understand the material and be prepared for tests. Even has in class review days. Just got back into school after 13 years and this class made me feel at ease on learning math again.

Extremely difficult tests. Easy to contact and receive help when needed.

I had four semesters with him, and I've never had a teacher I liked as much as him! I went from dreading, to majoring in, math because of his infectious enthusiasm. He admits he's a harder grader, but listen to the amount of times he mentions some technicality and you'll realize you really do learn more. Solutions posted after grades. Enroll!

A lot of people say hes boring and does make sense when he teaches. Jeff was the first math teacher Ive ever had that explained it in a way I understood. Its hard to catch up if you miss class but overall I really enjoyed his class.

I'm not good at math; was a bit scared about getting him. Anyhow, I think he's GREAT! I read he gives a lot of HW. That's not true. The only HW you turn in is the one you print out. The rest are practice problems. He explains things good, does help you, and doesn't grade hard. He doesn't use the book. I recommend printing lectures. Very helpful.

Mr. Olsen is a great teacher. He is thorough, helpful, and is willing to explain everything in detail. The way he explains the material makes sense, and he makes it easy to understand. Mr. Olsen is very prepared and thorough - he wants you to pass the class, and he makes sure you have all the tools to do so.

Mr. Olsen is a great teacher, and he explains the material thoroughly. He is always willing to go into detail when it comes to the material. He is extremely prepared and gives you all the necessary tools you need to pass his class. It is not recommended to miss a day of class.

The class is extremely organized and well-structured. Olsen gives take home exams along with homework on Mondays and Wednesdays. Those who gave him a poor rating more than likely didn't put in the work. Yes, the course is very involved. It's math folks! Time to buck up. At the end of the day, he teaches well and is willing to help.

Professor Olsen was by far the best math teacher I had. He's very helpful when it comes to homework and questions. You can reach him almost anytime of the day and any day of the week. He's very smart and although he could go very fast at some points, you can always ask him your questions after class and he will help you understand it step-by-step.

Jeff Olsen, is awesome, he works harder than any of my professors. He answers emails right away and he likes to help his students understand the problem. As long as you pay attention in class you'll be fine. And if you have questions about any math problems just ask Prof. Olsen.

Olsen was great. He is cool and helpful outside of class. He thoroughly broke down math problems to help understand what is going on. If you also need help doing homework at home, email him, and he will quickly respond with an explanation to the problem you might have. Had a good experience.

I loved Professor Olsen. He is great at teaching and explaining, and what I love most is that Whatever he gives you on the study guide is on the test. His exams are fairly easy, as long as you study and pay attention to class. he also responds to emails very quickly. Definitely recommend.
