Jade Olson COMM107 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 11/20/2024	Absolutely great teacher. They way she lectures is actually super engaging and you can tell she is super knowledgeable. Super understanding of students and never gives out an unreasonable amount of work. Takes a lot of time giving each student personalized feedback after every speech which is super helpful- I've seen a huge improvement in my public speaking. Overall a great class that was super helpful and not stressful at all!
Jade Olson COMM107 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/22/2023	Best Best Best Professor you could have for this (necessary but unnecessary gen-ed). She understand that this is a gen-ed course and that a lot of people are not enthusiastic about taking this class like at all but she made it worthwhile by curating an open space where students would feel comfortable presenting in a smedium crowd. There are 3 individual speeches (Informative, Persuasive, and Special Occasion) and 1 group speech. You will have to submit an outline for every single speech and that should be a breeze since she only requires minimum guidelines on how you need to structure your outline. She does allow any type of notecards or phones (whatever you need to help your speech). She does grade a little more "harsher" but it's doable if you actually improve on the thing that she mentions because she leaves very detailed feedback. But like I said, her grading can seem little out of tune with her feedback she gives, but honestly don't sweat it too much. You should pass with an A regardless.

Attendance is mandatory but she was very understanding with sick excuses and allowed me to make up all missing participation points. Projects are easy if you put in the time. About 1-2 hours of work per speech, there are 4 speeches. There are very easy weekly homework quizzes, participation points, and reflections to help boost your grade. Would highly recommend to anyone taking COMM107 who wants a bearable experience.

Jade Olson COMM469 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 04/01/2022	This class isnt finished but its April and I have a 100%. I really enjoy her teaching style and she's super forgiving. I can't imagine disliking her I think she's a great teacher and gives good feedback on all assignments. The class is easy but that doesn't mean I am not learning. She offers a 2 day grace period for late assignments on all assignments which is nice.
Jade Olson COMM107 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 01/26/2022	Dr. Olson was the most amazing teacher ever. She was very well-organized, super nice and caring to her students, and also so funny. I was so sad when my class with her ended because I am just going to miss her personality so much. I definitely 1000% recommend Dr. Olson.

Jade Olson COMM330 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 07/09/2021	I had her for the summer session and she was one of the best teachers that I have had at UMD. Her style of teaching easily allows everyone to participate, be excited about the class, and also helps to make the content relevant. She gives great feedback and does everything in her power to help you succeed. She gives extensions freely and during the summer session, she had a two-day grace period. This accommodation for everyone helped to make the accelerated course less stressful. 100% recommend.
Jade Olson COMM107 Expecting an A Anonymous 02/10/2021	Very chill professor, has a great sense of humor and understands that not everyone is a good speaker. Sometimes grades strictly if you make mistakes but gives you useful feedback on how to improve. Definitely a good choice if you need to take this class.

Jade Olson COMM107 Expecting an A Anonymous 06/08/2012	Jade Olson is awesome and makes comm107 great. def take this class with her if you have the chance.
Jade Olson COMM200 bananapop 05/18/2012	Overall this was a very good class. As long as you did the readings and attended class you should do fine. There are two speeches and one debate but they aren't that hard. It maybe takes a couple of hours each. There is one paper but it's not that bad. No midterm but there is a final. As long as you understand what is going on in class then it's not that bad. Jade is great! She is down to earth and chill. She really knows a lot about this and really gets that this isn't your first priority. She is more than willing to help or explain things in any way she can. Overall a good class to take if you need to take it but I wouldn't go out of my way to take it.
