Excellent teacher, and very helpful (if your papers are late, he doesn't take off). His Lit class is easily followed by the syllabus, but his Creativity class is a free-for-all and alot of busy work that's irrelevant is assigned. His Lit class is fun though, so definitely take that! B/C students will do well, and A students will likely make a 100.

I would suggest him to anyone he is soooo nice and actually cares about teaching and helping his students. he has a gret sense of humor and although i feel asleep in his class a couple times he does keep you interested some of the time. Essays are super easy and i would take his class over and over again if i could!

He's sarcastic and dry humored, but talks in the same tone the whole class. He talks really slow too, even though what he says is somewhat funny. You learn how to write well, but the class is still extremely easy. I took him this semester and just signed up for him again.

Prof. Olma is no doubt my favorite professor that i've ever had. He really makes sure you understand the topics your writing about, and he gives you a good amount of time to do it! He does like to talk a lot and practically has a story for everything! If you don't take him, you're missing out on an amazing teacher!

Professor Olma is by far my favorite college professor ever. He is down to earth and sarcastic, he makes jokes and keeps you entertained. He challenges you to...think! Easy class because he makes it easy, also does an energy level and positive energy check in. I wish all of my professors were like him, I will actually miss this class when it's over

First off, it's an English class; its not going to be terribly interesting. Prof. Olma is such an interesting, sincere and funny person that i found myself looking forward to going to class just to hear what jokes he has for us in store. If you have to take this class, go to him as soon as you can. You will not be disappointed.

Professor Olma was very easy. He was really nice, and understanding if you are sick, he will work something out, but not if its ongoing. The only thing that aggravated me was if I had a question, I would email him, and call his office, but not once did he return my emails or calls. Make sure to ask all questions IN CLASS.

Prof. O was my absolute favorite teacher! His methods are teaching are different. No book or tests! Class consists of critical thinking, participation, & handouts . He goes around the room and we all give our thoughts. Don't be shy! He doesn't judge. ENC 1102 consists of 4 papers and 1 annotation. As long as you follow the recipes, it's an easy A!

Professor Olma will give out his email, but will never respond back to you. Also, I received A's on every single paper I did, yet my final grade was B...? Professor Olma wouldn't respond as to why either. No communication! He does not follow the FSCJ grading policy either. Not sure how he gets away with that. Work your butt off for an A to get a B

Professor Olma was amazing! He's a very understanding guy and willing to meet half way with anyone on their issues. His lectures are exciting and you will be graded on few things. It's pretty hard to fail his papers because he helps you out so much on them. This was my second attempt at ENC1102 and i ended with a B. Definitely an easy guy.

I hate anything English related, i came into the classroom expecting to just have papers to write and poem to read, and it wasn't like that at all. He was very much more focused on the students them self than forcing them to conform to literature standers. He wants to help you form your own opinions and work through the texts your way. He is great

Professor Olma is undoubtedly one of my favorite english teachers. It's clear that he truly cares about his students & their well-being. Every morning he makes it his mission to be sure & greet every student in the class & ask how they are doing, regardless of how long it takes. He goes above & beyond to help his students succeed.

Professor olma is the kind of teacher who engages in casual conversation with the whole class. He will give everyone extra time to finish assignments. He also takes great care to insure the assignments are understood. I found him a bit annoying at first simply because Im so used to hard hitting teachers but hes just a very laid back instructor!
