I loved Mr. Olma's class. He is very helpful and easy to understand. He's been one of my favorite teachers so far!
I really enjoyed Mr. Olma's class. I found him to be very helpful and well prepared for our class.
Was such a cool class, based solely on 5 essays which were easy to complete. Made class interesting and made the time pass by fast.
Excellent class, excellent teacher.
He talks a LOT. But he's a very easygoing, nice guy. His classes reflect his personality. He's also understanding of missing classes, leaving early, etc. Highly recommended!
very helpful, creative, funny.
Mr. Olma is a very nice guy. His class was pretty easy. I got an A but you do have to write essays so expect to work.
Great teacher! I would recommend him. Although he does expect essays he makes them very clear. I wish I had taken him for LIT2000 even though I don't like literature.
GREAT PROF., TAKE HIM AS MANY TIMES AS YOU CAN.
I love this man! He has got to be the best teacher around! I had him for ENC1101 and for LIT2000. He makes learning fun and easy. He is great!!!
I wish he was cloned. Very nice and extremely patient with the ability to teach the academically challenged.
cool class
I have had this man for two creativity classes. He is a wonderful man as well as a wonderful teacher. His creativity class is one that is usefull in the real world. Great hair.
very good teacher, fun, time flew. definatly learned a lot in this class.
This class will expand you thinking skills and help you find solutions to problems in today's society. Professor Olma is patient, caring and informative, you will come out of this class prepared to handle stressful situations.
Mr. Olma is awesome. Great teacher, very patient & understanding. Will go out of his way to help you. I've taken him 4 times. He teaches, Lit, English, & creativity classes.
I have taken Olma for ENC 1101, 1102, & Creativity 1. He's an awesome teacher. You couldn't ask for better. Be prepared to hear him repeat himself and talk a lot. He likes to put his students in groups for activities. I got A's in all of his courses.
Olma's awesome.Demanding assignments,but all you have to do is spend the time on them.He give you plenty of time to prepare and grades fairly. I got an A. He's very creative and a really fun teacher, take him if you have the chance!
I totally loved being in his class. He is very nice and understanding. His jokes are kinda off the wall but he keeps your attention. Not like any teacher I have had, he really cares about each student. A wonderful teacher.
Best teacher I have ever had.
SPECTACULAR teacher!!! Always helpful and personable!! Wants to see you succeed and reach your future goals!! What more can I say--He's the teacher YOU want!!! Sign up now his classes fill fast!!!
The man is actually insane and original. Take his class, I promise you won't regret it.
he was a pleasure. He made the class so interesting for me. Usually English is a bore for me, but he relly pepped it up
What a professional style ! I could not be any happier with my selection for my comp class. Mr. Olma is an asset to fccj. Congradulations on his contiunued teaching approach!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome! I took him for every class he teaches b/c he is great! Can be boring but overall easy and he actually made me want to pick up a book and read (which is crazy). I LOVE HIM! Take him, take him, TAKE HIM!
By far the best teacher I have ever had!
BORING. same jokes over and over, i felt obligated to laugh. lectures were long and drawn out. would NOT take again
Genius or Madman, whatever he is makes him a great professor.
The only way this professor would get a bad rating is because the student got a bad grade. It is very hard to get a bad grade in his classes. He lets you basically pick your own grade. This man is a genius! His teaching style is incredible. I hope I become a teacher like him someday!
Unique. I loved this class!
He is a wonderful professor. Very understanding and helpful. He is there as he says "to help you succeed." I would recommend and also take another course with him if I had any left to take.
Makes leaning fun. Good class!
Mr. Olma is a fine example of what a college professor should aspire to be. His goal from Day 1 was to ensure each and every student success in his class. I learned so much from him and would love to partake in more classes that he teaches.
Very good prof. Willing to help you and meet if you aren't getting it. I took it as an 8-week course so it was really condensed (paper due each week). Overall a really great teacher, just go to each class, do what he asks and you will not only pass, but you will learn how to be a good writer.

amazing teacher
This guy rules!
He is a great teacher. Take him.
He is AWSOME!!! This man is one of the best teachers anyone can have. He is so helpful, and he cares with all his heart about his students. He will help you succeed. Take him if you can.
Sign up for as many classes with this professor as you can(I took Lit2000,Creative writing,& 3 Creativity classes). He helps you to be the best that you can be...and is fun & interesting.He truly cares about his students.Best teacher ever!
He is so nice, i really truely can say that he is one of the few teachers that actually care about his students, what they learn and that they succeed in school and life. HE ALWAYS was there for me, and he is just a wonderful guy. I am going to miss him now that i am finished at FCCJ. Good luck to you professor Olma, i appreciate your support!!!
I didn't find him very easy. He doesn't have a syllabus to go by. I left emails and calls, he never once got back to me when I had a clarity problem. He assigns a lot of busy work. He is an extremely nice guy though.
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.
Prof. Olma is a prof. worth taking, just because of this course. He makes every moment of the class enjoyable. you learn alot about your own creativity in this course. I enjoyed the class trip to Sally industries, corp. They design and build theme park animatronics (ex: Pirates of the Caribean. We were able to see creativity in the real world.
wow allteachers should be like him! because of olma im now going to school to be a teacher...he has changed my view of teaching,i would love to have the effect hes had on me for others. you can miss a lot of class and still make an A for all you surfers out there :) just write your papers and your golden. you will have fun in this class!!!!!
He gives you a prep for the final that makes you feel like you know the material if you paid attention in class, then during the final you realize that most of the questions have never been covered, and the ones that have were covered with elementary examples, yet the questions on the final are on the complex side. expect a B-/C
Great teacher. There's about 5 essays you write,a final exam and a portfolio. Stickler on attendence and you must turn in everything in order to pass. Easy though I got a B.
Prof. Olma is a wonderful teacher with a very good personality. He will make sure you understand the class assignments fully and he gives ample time to complete them. He is a wonderful teacher and sometimes he has special guest visit the room so be prepared. If you don't like to read take Pror. Olma he will change your mind. Excellent Class.
awesome professor.
Great Professor. Guided you through the process. The only issue was him not returning my email or calls about a paper's topic. I would take him for any other English class I could.
Mr. Olma is a great professor. My only hope is to have more professors like him through my college life. Take him if you wanna professor who is fair and knows his job. Great Man
Gets us interacting within the lesson. Pretty fun. Makes the subject fun.
Professor Olma is a fair man with great spirit.I could tell that he wanted me to interact and enjoy his class.The first paper is basically a test of your capability.He will push you if he knows you can do better, but is more than willing to help you improve your writing.5 essays, slight class work that's fun, and a test.He goes over everything!
I took Mr. Olma for ENC 1101, ENC 1102, and LIT 2000 because he is a great teacher. He is very understanding and he teaches you on common sense level. Alot of fun group activities.
Prof. Olma has become somewhat of a mentor for me during my time at F.C.C.J. His English classes are fun and engaging, but if you take him for just one class make it creativity! this class changes the way you tackle problems and has been the most useful class I have ever taken. best elective ever! IDS2353 passport to creativity - TAKE IT!
Professor Olma is an awesome teacher!! He has made my first semester better than I have ever imagined! I recomend him to everyone!!!
He is nice and the class is easy but he's not very organized, he forgets about assignments and grades, it's hard to understand what he wants when he asks you to write a paper
Great teacher overall. Helpful and understanding. Final exam was hard to study for since it was not on anything covered in the class
Best English teacher ever!! I took him for both 1101 and 1102. Im gonna take his creative writing class too. He is willing to help out whenever possible. If you want a FUN english class take his. You wont be sorry!
olma is incredible!!! i love to write and he made it my world! this class is super easy if you just do what he asks!!! take him and take the shorter class length like 12 weeks!!! i took the class at 630am just because i wanted him and i DID NOT regret it!
AWESOME TEACHER! take him. very nice, understanding and can be flexible with things. He made english class so much funner for me and it was a breeze.
Great professor. He has a wonderful speaking voice, never dull.
Best English Prof. EVER!!!! The class was really fun. You have to write 5 essays and have a final but that's it. Prof. Olma ROCKS!!!!
Best english teacher ever!!! Great guy, very chill, and the entire semester i did not see him get mad once. Tests are a joke, theirs only one, but its a joke.
He's pretty cool. I liked him. He said I should consider persuing writing as a career, but I can't tell if he's just very kind.
I loved this class. We had alot of class discussion. He is a flexible with any problems you may have. I wish I could take more classes by him. YOU WILL LOVE THIS CLASS if you have a half of a brain.
this profesor is easily one of the best in the state. he is very clear on what he wants, and will help at all costs. five short essays and a joke of a final. I missed 2 weeks of class in his 8 week course and he still helped me to pass the course. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
Prof. Olma was a really good teacher. We only had 4 essays and didn't really have any homework. We didn't use the text book at all. He is hilarious. He cracks jokes all the time. I would definitely take him again.
He is the best professor ever. His class is always fun, You will learn alot. He is one of the nicest guys there is. First time that I have ever enjoyed taking a final exam. You don't want to leave his class at the end of the semester!
HE IS AMAZING! I HAD SO MUCH FUN IN THIS CLASS I DIDNT EVEN FEEL LIKE I WAS IN SCHOOL! If you are a bad writer take this class! he really helps you out and you never feel like you cant do it or its too hard. We played games to help us think, had circle time and passed around ideas. He does so much just to help you get ideas, Mr. Olma is the BEST!
I never did well in English, but Prof. Olma was the best teacher I've ever had. He is friendly and funny. I learned so much from him. I will take English 2 and any other classes he gives.
I really enjoyed being in his class during the summer session. The class last only 8wks, but he kept it interesting the entire time. I am looking for other classes that he will be teaching.
I took his class back in the Spring '08 term but HE IS THE BEST!!!! I love literature & writing but he made it that much more enjoyable and interesting. You will love it if you love literature. He even got me to thinking of minoring in literature.
TAKE HIM!! he is an awesome professor and makes everything so easy. You wont ever get out of class early, but he is the best!
Prof. Olma is amazing. His class is very fun!! take it if you know nothing about writing! he will make you feel like you are the BEST!! very easy grader!
The most notable comment about the profesor is that you always know what to expect from him. He is always calm and very helpful and never seems to have a bad day. He includes everyone and asks that you write 3 papers: on fiction, poetry, and drama. I strongly recommend Prof. Olma, he is the best Literature teacher at FSCJ.
He is by far one of the best professors I have taken here at FSCJ!!! I have taken all of the classes he offers. He is very nice, and if you talk with him he can be lenient about due dates. I always enjoyed going to his classes, and am looking forward to taking his creative writing class!
The best English professor ever! if you can grab a spot in his class. You will enjoy every day of it.
yep, i can only tag along the train of infinite praise for this man. pretty much saved my very troubled record at this college, and gave me the confidence and support I needed to breeze through UNF, where I had similar mixed experiences. It is great someone like he exists to deflate the prejudice and contempt I got from the booger profs.
GOD SEND! POINT BLANK PERIOD. SOMEONE THAT UNDERSTANDS THATREAL LIFE GOES ON OUTSIDE OF CLASS. NOT ONLY THE BEST TEACHER EVER, BUT HE INSPIRED ME TO BE AS UNDERSTANDING AS HE WAS. ALWAYS HAS A SMILE ON HIS FACE AND WILL GO OUT OF HIS WAY TO WORK WITH YOU. HE DOES NOT GIVE GRADES, BUT HE WILL HELP YOU EARN THE BEST GRADE AS POSSIBLE :)
I can't excpress how much I apperciate this man. He made english in college fun. The stories he tells are funny. HE give wondeful feedback & is always there to answer your questions. There were group actitivies & we became like a little family in that class. Never really used the books. The final was extremely easy as well as the 5 required essays.
He was the best professor I have ever had. He was fun in class and made English fun. He did not tell me to to write 800 word essays, but told me to write 5-7 paragraphs. He is the best English professor you will ever have! Take him!
Great Teacher.However I had immature young kids in the class who would clearly irritate him.He was fun so they tried to take advantage.Wrote 7 papers and made a B on ALL of them!Got a B in the class.Which sucked by the way.You never use your book so take notes you will need it for the final!Awesome guy and very understanding.Take him for sure!
Good Professor. Started my first year of college right by showing how to teach. Very laid back.
Mr. Olma is one of the few professors I don't want to forget. I took him for ENC 1102, Creative Writing, and Creativity I. He is truly one of the best. If you have an open elective, take Creativity. He's awesome in that subject and is probably one of the best classes I've ever taken.
AWESOME. period. He's one of the best professors I've had, he is very laid back and his class is always entertaining to go to. Very easy grader and you do fun things in his class. You learn a lot but you wouldn't know it because you're having so much fun! Loved him.
Olma is a great professor! He took an extremely lame class SLS 1103 and kept it interesting at 8:30 in the morning!
Great professor. I am planning on taking him again for Eng
Fabulous professor! He is a fair grader, and he genuinely wants to see his students be successful. He?s got a laid back teaching style and he mixes his wit and wisdom into his class to deliver an entertaining lecture that really hits home. -- His clases book up fast, so sign up early.
i love this proffesor, very helpful and very funny
Olma is king. I have taken him for LIT 2000, ENC 1102, and ISDS (creativity). Not only is he the best advocate for teaching, but he sparks the minds of everyone that passes through. Best professor in existence.
A LISTENER,LOVING TEACHER.HELPFUL.THE ONLY TEACHER THAT COULD KEEP ME UP At 8AM FOR 4 HRS TALKING ABOUT ENGLISH.BEST TEACHER EVER!!WISH EVERY TEACHER WAS LIKE HIM!
Wonderful professor. he is very laid back and always helps his students. it's very easy to get an A in his class as long as you do all the essays. attendance to class is not mandatory, you could miss mant lasses and still get an A. i definitely recommend this professor!
He is the best English teacher i have ever had. He is always there to help you when you need him. He also gives you extensions on essays that are due if you are having trouble understanding them or having trouble for various other reasons. Over all he is an amazing professor!!!! If you want to pass, hes the one to choose!!
AMAZING PROFESSOR!!! WISH THEY WERE ALL LIKE HIM
BEST professor EVER! He is so helpful and encouraging! I dont really like writing, but he chose awesome topics,and made the class fun! We used steps to writing well and didn't use the book once! He's so clear as to what is needed for the class and the final was EASY PEASY!! TAKE Olma!!!!!!!!!!
Olma is the absolute best english teacher I have ever had. He is so helpful and lets you turn in essays late if you have an excuse. He is probably the most understanding professor out there! It's pretty much impossible to fail his class...TAKE HIM!!!
I've taken him for 3 courses and aced every one. He is easy but I still learned a lot and I know I can go back to him anytime I need. Take him!
He is great!He does make you participate in class but they're fun activities. He also talks a lot but he is a genuinely nice person and he cares for his students. I learned a lot! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
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!
Extremely helpful teacher. Grades papers easy. Easy A!
Really easy class, great professor. If you don't take this class, you're crazy!
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!
So easy. Take him! he is an easy A and he says you can only miss 3 classes but you can miss more.
Best professor I have ever met. Took him for three different classes. All around great guy.
Best English professor I ever had he keeps you interested the entire class and he is quick to help if you ask him. He can get off topic sometimes but it just makes the class more interesting. I've already signed up again to take him for another class.
I took him for english one and 2 back to back and the same semester. Great teacher.. So silly! We didn't really use the book but.. hey.. He knows enough.. TAKE his class its great
Passport to Creativity I and II are great classes. This class changes the way you think!
GREAT GREAT GREAT TEACHER!! I highly recommend, take him. No test, no quizzes just three papers and one final presentation. Easy A. But, he never answer my e-mails..
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.
I despise English. Professor has a way of teaching - that you love this class. He lays out the foundation, very helpful, using positive reinforcements. Take This Guy!
Take Him! I despise English but the way he teaches, you will love his teaching methods.
SUCH A WONDERFUL TEACHER. He sincerely cares for every student and loves to teach. I truly recommend him!
EASY CLASS. SERIOUSLY TAKE HIS CLASS
Amazing professor. Extremely passionate about what he teaches and is a genuinely kind person. Even if you are not a fan of English Comprehension, he teaches in a way that keeps you interested and involved. Every class is an open, fun discussion-style lecture. Absolutely recommend.
Professor Olma is the best! I have taken him for 2 courses. You learn a lot and he is very interesting in his presentation of the information he is teaching. If you want a Great teacher, take him. You will not be sorry!
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.
Professor Olma was by far the BEST professor I've ever had. He makes everything fun and relatable to all students. He truly cares about all his students.
Professor Olma is a phenomenal teacher! He is very easy going and keeps a comfortable class room atmosphere and ensures EVERYONE understands the assignments. We had ZERO tests and only a few writing assignments, if you are capable of basic English take this class before he retires!
One of the best professors I've ever had! Super funny & easy to talk to. I always looked forward to his class. There were 3 essays, 1 project, 1 take home literary definition assignment & a few other little things. Essay topics were always clear & interesting. I wish more professors used his wonderful teaching approach. TAKE HIM TAKE HIM TAKE HIM!
Take his class!! He is funny and completely understanding. I hate poetry but he made it interesting. You will not regret taking his class.
He's alright .. lazy .. so the class is easy. Never responds to emails
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 cares about every student, every class he would go up to every indvidual student and ask them how they were and was very good at remembering faces. It is very easy to understand him. 10/10
Prof. Olma is absolutely amazing! My first semester back and he made me feel confident. He was maybe a little too lenient. Felt some students took advantage.
One of the best professor in FSCJ. Just come to class and participate in his lectures and you will pass his class. There only 5 paper through the whole semesters. all the paper are very simple and preety easy.
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!
amazing professor, took him my first fall semester of college and he gave me great advice, an awesome teacher you're missing out if you don't take him!!!
Professor Olma is one of a kind. He's funny, caring and communicates with all of his students. The papers were due in a timely manner. He made the class interesting and I truly learned something.
