Nice and easy prof, a few papers throughout the semester, (long) but interesting lectures. Easily available after class for support and general conversations, highly approachable.ENGL3301 2025-11-20 22:04:20 +0000 UTC
She is the best professor I've had for a class I would've expected to be too hard to take. She makes writing fun and optional class interactive. She allows drafts and peer edits and provides her own feedback which ensures understanding and an A.ENGW3311 2021-04-07 21:15:30 +0000 UTC
I loved having Professor Olivier for First Year Writing. She was always ready to talk about something unrelated with her student and even turn it into a fun assignment. Most of the assignments didn't have clear guidelines, but this was because she wanted her students to be creative. Fun and easy class, she's awesome.ENGW1111 2021-03-22 17:32:38 +0000 UTC
Professor Olivier is amazing! She makes it very clear what her expectations are for each assignment and is available to meet if you need help on your drafts. She's super understanding if you're experiencing any difficulties completing the assignment and is willing to give extensions. Definitely take her if you can!ENGW3308 2018-04-18 17:57:26 +0000 UTC
Started the first day saying, "I've never given below a B+ in this class" BY FAR the easiest AWD class offered at NEU. Dont let "Pre-Law" scare you, the amount of work is nothing compared to the essays and projects in other Advanced Writing courses. Plus shes just a good person who you will enjoy being around.ENGL3311 2018-02-15 16:06:50 +0000 UTC
Hands down the best Professor I've had at NEU. She's kind, caring, understanding, efficient and overall a good teacher. Sure she may go off topic in some ways, but the tangents always connect back to the core topic at hand. Take her as a teacher if possible - do yourself a favor.ENGW3315 2017-09-27 14:11:50 +0000 UTC
Please take her for Advance Writing 3304, you will not regret it. Easily one of the nicest teachers here @ NEU! As long as you partiicpate in class, and stay on top of deliverables youll do well.ENGL3301 2022-10-06 22:31:38 +0000 UTC
One of the few professors at Northeastern who actually cares about you and would work with you to get the best grade possible. She would never reject a meeting outside of class and would always be open to discussing ideas.ENGL3301 2019-12-11 21:13:05 +0000 UTC
Not only is she a great teacher, but a great person. From day one you know what to expect, there are peer reviews and revision opportunities. She is not only devoted to helping you in the class but in life. The class is designed to help you write in the professional world, and she is truly like a mentor. She is so caring and fair. Best professor.ENGL3301 2019-12-09 03:49:55 +0000 UTC
By far the best professor at NU. Does anything she can to help you succeed both inside and outside the classroom. Makes everyone feel comfortable speaking and participating and sharing work. Very enthusiastic and smart. Take her!!!ENGL3301 2012-11-12 18:39:10 +0000 UTC
She is by far one of the best professors I have had in my academic career. She helped my with recommendations and building my resume. Her class had 4 "papers" all of which were easy if you put in the time and effort. She is brilliant and a teacher at Bentley Univ. too. Get to know her and she can give you advice on anything! Cheers!ENGL3301 2012-02-29 23:12:56 +0000 UTC
A nice lady who goes off topic very often in class and is pretty unhelpful. She does not help you during the process of writing the paper and provides very generic feedback. She also does not make her expectations very clear. AND I am not even joking, when I say that she thought it was necessary to teach us about spell-check on word!!!ENGL3301 2012-01-29 20:14:29 +0000 UTC
