Comment:
Dr. Nickels was extremely kind and accommodating during this hard semester. We had to do all the work, but she offered us extra support and extensions when needed. She checked in with us frequently to ensure we were doing okay. My only issue with the class is that she didn't give us a lot of information or criteria for part of our final project.

Comment:
Dr. Nickels is one of my favorite professors at Kent. This is also by far my favorite class. She cares about how her students are learning more than most professors who might just show up and teach and never put more thought into it. She is passionate, and has ignited passion in me as well. Discussions are always interesting, but be sure to read.

Comment:
She gives very unclear instructions which leads to unclear expectations. When you ask her for examples she blows you off then grades you poorly even though there is no prerequisite for this class she teaches it like you should know what to do and how to write specific papers you have never done before.

Comment:
While Dr. Nickels is fantastic, the class material itself is very dry. She does her best to try and make it interesting but it's just hard to get excited about an introductory course for public administration. The class itself is fairly easy - do the readings and show up and contribute. Grading is very easy too

Comment:
Worst teacher ever. Very passionate about the subject, she is very knowledgeable, but horrible at teaching the subject. No examples were given, no clear instructions were given. Instructions say just write. Seems to be very biased at times. Tries to be too friendly. She campaigned for good evaluations...

DR. NICKELS IS AMAZING! SHE IS VERY KNOWLEDGABLE AND PASSIONATE ABOUT POLITICAL SCIENCE. ALWAYS AVAILABLE TO MEET AND ANSWER QUESTIONS. HARD SUBJECT BUT SHE DOES A GREAT JOB TEACHING IT! SHE IS SUPER NICE AND DOWN TO EARTH! REALLY GREAT COMMUNICATOR OF EXPECTATIONS. DON'T SKIP CLASS BECAUSE PARTICIPATION POINTS REALLY HELP YOUR GRADE IN THE END.
