Comment:
Olivero is rude. Flat out rude. He insults his students frequently and is just in general not that great of a teacher. His lab tests rely heavily on pictures that you can't make out and lecture tests are worded completely differently than what he lectures on. I missed one class and never caught up again. If you can avoid him, do it.

Comment:
He will prepare you for your future science classes way better than any other professor. Old school, yes but he goes over all the material in depth and reviews it in every class. I enjoyed his class, he is a wonderful, dedicated teacher. I would take another class with him.

Comment:
He was the worst teacher I have ever had! He was rude and got off topic way too much. He would talk about how his grandchildren got scholarships and are going to big universities and would talk about his wives. He expects you to know it by heart. Also if you didn't take BI101 drop and take it first because he expects you to know everything it.

If you're lazy with it, you won't pass. He's very old school but he's willing to help. You just have to ask. I found that re-writing the chapter was the easiest way for me to study.

Comment:
Olivero is very old school, and his class is super tough. I liked his class, and actually enjoyed his lectures. He prepares you for the test way in advance. If you read, study and take notes, then you will pass. If you're lazy, you will fail.

Olivero is old and kooky. Most people don't like him, those are the people who fail his class. He tests on his lectures. He gave plenty of warning of what would be on the test too.

Comment:
Everyone acts like Olivero is worse than he is... He's just very old school. He doesn't use power points, he wings his lectures, he's occasionally a bit offensive with his comments, and he expects you to read everything. If you don't like reading textbooks, do not take his class, but otherwise--just read the text a lot and you'll probably be fine.

Comment:
Olivero was very humorous and made biology 101 interesting even for me (not much of an interest in the sciences). While he is one of those tough teachers that say "it's not up to me whether you pass of fail," he is always there for extra help if you need it. The tests were pretty difficult, but probably easier if you actually read.

Comment:
the worst professor ever!!!! I really advise you not to take him. The school knows how bad he is and hes still there. Mr. Olivero DOES NOT CARE if you pass or fail, he does not help in any way. His tests have nothing to do with lecture, and he goes off subject all the time.

Mr. Olivero is the worst professor I have had at ccc and when I went to go drop the class every single adviser said they know that he's a bad teacher and they try not to give people his class. He makes inappropriate and rude comments all the time. HE NEEDS TO RETIRE!

Comment:
This is the worst professor I have ever had. He would tell us to study certain things and then wouldn't even put them on the test. He wrote down pages to study and didn't put them on the test either. I suggest taking another professor. Disregard all the "this guy is hard" comments. This man doesn't know how to teach at all. You've been warned.

- If you like a challenge take the class. He use to say if you dont study and read the chapter over and over everyday you will fail and he was right. i ended up dropping his class it was way to hard and his classes were so hard to stay awake in, he talked for hours!

Mr. Olivero is a good teacher. His tests are straight from the book. Read every chapter in detail and take good notes. If you go to class and pay attention, you will be fine. You can't just get by with the bare minimal. You have to work and study and you'll be able to achieve an A no problem. He sometimes curves his tests too.

Comment:
This professor was absolutely horrible!! i would NEVER suggest him to anyone! his test have random questions, he doesn't go over information. My class had a test on four different chapters, and he didn't even review, and expected us to know each chapter word for word. He is very negative and often makes inappropriate comments.

Comment:
Prof. Olivero is an old-school type who teaches the absolute RIGHT way. Despite our generation's low tolerance for hard work, this is preparing us for life in a very competetive world. He is funny and enjoyable, once you accept the fact that he is trying to first TEACH the material, then be your buddy! He will expect you to read on you own.
