Very unprofessional when it comes to being available to the students. Hardly responds to emails, if he does at all. Takes a long time to grade assignments.

This is one of my favorite classes. He goes over powerpoints and has group discussions in class. The tests are easy if you look over the note/ powerpoints. The group projects are pretty easy top.

Tests are fine if you study the pp's. The bulk of the grade consists of the final project. Hope for a good group because it can make the semester a good one or a really bad one. Olrich is a good guy and his material is really interesting.

Great class. He makes you want to show up to class. The tests aren't that bad and the other assignments are pretty easy too. The Final project is a lot of work and takes a lot of time, but if you get it finished and do a good job you should get an A. Great Class.

Dr. O is awesome. He is very accessible to students during the semester. Just go to class, and pay attention/take notes. The first test is a little difficult, but make sure to start the group project EARLY. He grades very graciously on it.

Tracey is awesome. Lectures can be boring at times but thats why they are lectures. He is always interested to hear what you have to say and opens the class up for discussions whenever needed. I would definitely recommend that anyone take this class that it is interested in sport studies here

Very, very good guy. You won't meet a prof. who cares more about his teaching, or who enjoys it more. Class isn't hard, except for the final exam. Majority of the class comes down to your class project (a paper, and a presentation), which you work on all semester. It's not too difficult, just put together a good presentation. Dr. O is the man.

Olrich is a great teacher, he really is into what he does and is a great professor. Exams can be tricky, but if you study you should be ok, but you'll need to study hard. Group project isn't bad and if you put effort into it, you should be fine. Take good notes, study the books and ask questions, he's moe than willing to help. Great professor!

Dr. Olrich is a very nice guy and VERY VERY enthusiastic about the subject which I believe rubs off on you as a student. Somtimes the lectures can be long but if you pay attention to the best of your abilities and read the book youw ill do fine on the tests. Make sure and read the book for tests!

Dr. O is among the coolest profs you could ever have. Very knowledgeable and very easy to talk to. Lectures aren't as bad as it may seem and the group project is fun and easy. A great, highly recommended prof to have if you get the opportunity to take one of his classes.

Good guy. Tests are kind of a challenge though. Projects are also kind of a challenge, mostly to find the required sources.

I think his brain may be made out of creatine. Just kidding he's a good guy, class is solid, projects are decent, and best of all I skipped his final and got a B. Man I love Dr. Olrich.
