He's a nice and funny man who definitely cares about the subject, but he doesn't communicate clearly what's expected of students. When I've emailed him to ask for more clarity, he responds in an unspecific, unhelpful manner. When we did evaluations, he refused to leave the room and rushed us to finish. On the other hand, he is an easy grader.

Dr. O is very unreliable and rarely answers emails. The final for this class was on irrelevant information that we were not quizzed on. The large group papers were all graded within a day and the feedback was vague. He has become hard to communicate with about issues because he always at conferences and quizzes and lectures are several years old

Professor Olawoyin made all necessary homework, lecture videos and other material easily accessible. Tests were homework problems with different numbers so you could do well.
