Students' Comments, December 2025

The following are some of the comments left by students who took my classes in the Fall of 2025. They knew that (1) their names would not be revealed, and that (2) I would not read them before I reported final grades. In other words, they did not post this to flatter me and receive a higher grade!

Dr. Olivas–Lujan is an excellent professor who seems to care about the material and the students.

I really enjoyed this course. While it was challenging at times, there profession [sic] provided clear instructions and feedback to ensure student success. This course was well put together and enjoyable for that reason.

Dr. O has provided excellent feedback regarding assignments and where we can improve our work. He is understanding and supportive of his students, and responded promptly to questions about coursework.

The feedback was beneficial, and I can tell Dr. Olivas–Lujan took the time to leave personalized feedback. The announcements also were helpful to keep us on track. 

During this course it has made me reflect on people and managing, Dr. Miguel Olivia's–Lujan has done an amazing job with this course.

Organizational Design and change management were very insightful courses especially when mixed with these practical virtual simulations within the Harvard University . The Learning materials were very challenging and high level . For the first time of my life , I have discovered a Doctor who really deserves the title of Doctor. He is a very savvy scholar and intellectual with a good sens of humility and empathy.

We are at the end of the semester and one thing I'm sure about , I will miss Dr O!

Dr. O truly cares and instructs content that is translatable to the professional environment,

He was always answered questions and emails in a timely manner and was willing to help when needed.  
He was very easy to get in contact with. He had good assignments...

He was always there to help

I think the team projects were good to work with people

He is very easy to get ahold of, and he is always willing to assist students with issues.

I think all aspects of this class will be utilized in my everyday happenings and I appreciate how well the Professor taught the class and was very helpful whenever we needed him.

Dr O provided a lot of instructions and was always available to assit.

Love this course 

Professor Lujan's course is very well structure to follow. It is very beneficial to help my learning. I've learned more regarding hazards that were located around a workplace.

He was always there to help.

I liked the group projects and I think they were fun

The most beneficial aspects for me were the discussions and presentations created by students. Many classes feel like there is an immense amount of information trying to be crammed into a week, and then the next week includes all new information, leading to last week's assignments to be forgotten quick. Using the discussions to reflect on information that we learned before helped the topics really set into my brain. The presentations included real world examples that helped me realize the necessity of each topic in workplaces.

I thought the course was very organized. The discussions with our groups was beneficial to me because I got to emphasize what I learned while also understanding what my group learned.

I think the DB [discussion boards] were beneficial. 

I felt that the class was well structured for learning. I don't think there's anything that I would change in the course to make more beneficial.  

I think as an online student, this class is very well designed the way it is  

Loved the course  

There is nothing to improve, I believe, everything is perfect.

Of course, there was a couple of students who left negative comments, but that's the nature of the job. The comments above really make my day (my year!) and motivate me to give my students even more attention and help their professional preparation and growth!
