Comment:
Best professor I've had at Tufts. Knows material EXTREMELY well, able to integrate knowledge beyond the class into lectures without being confusing. Beautiful handwriting, notes are VERY useful to study from. Doesn't use lecture notes, but lectures are very clear. Understands how to link concepts for proper understanding of material progression.

Excellent professor. Clearly knows the material and is able to explain it well. His tests are very similar to the HW and class examples. Best professor at Tufts.

Comment:
olia is greath teacher. he does tons of examples in class and you dont really need to read the textbook to know how to do the hw. he has a slight accent but is still very understandable. he approaches problems in a direct and clear manner and always seems to make sense. take es5 with olia if you can.

Comment:
I was in another section of es9 and had no idea what was going on. once I transfered into Olia's section it all made sense. Very clear. The accent isn't even that thick. Olia is incredible. He has a good sense of when the class gets it, is lost, or is bored and adjusts accordingly.

Comment:
Very structured, well planned course. Everything about Olia is clear once you understand he is saying "allowable force" and not "a lovable force." Policy of 4 tests, no final makes material reasonably retainable. Very good overall

Pretty good overall, but not fantastic. Thick accent, boring course material, and a room thats always 10 degrees to warm led to many lectures struggling to stay awake.

Comment:
It is sometimes hard to understand him, because he has a thick accent. He can be funny, though he seems stern at first. His exams were rather easy, and he held the final on the last day of classes (not during the final period).
