Comment:
Dr. Nick really knows his Math but for me, he teaches too fast and I can't really understand the concepts. He is very nice and will answer any question you have. He gives you more than enough time to do the webwork and don't want to hear any excuses. I think he said he was retiring in the Fall of 2014 or Spring 2015. So take him b 4 he retires.

He is a good and funny teacher. He let's you know what's expected on the first day of class. The webwork is 20% of your grade so make sure to do it and start early! Didn't use the textbook at all. He is very knowledgeable about the material but he goes through it very quickly so it is often hard to follow.

Super easy class, attendance isn't mandatory. Gives Sample Tests which are identical to the actual ones. Witty, dry sense of humor. He does Webwork and Sample Test questions in class. I hate math, but I didn't mind this course.

Well, his class is easy but he can't teach. If you want taking his class, You MUST STUDY by YOURSELF in order to succeed. I like the way he gave more time on the webwork but he REALLY CAN"T EXPLAIN ANY CONCEPT. Also, he usually makes mistakes on the questions that we ask in the class.

He's not a terrible teacher. If you don't want to go to class you can buy the book and teach yourself. he gives you the test with the same questions on it so if you take the time to do that you'll be fine. and you have the whole semester to do your webwork.

The class itself was pretty easy but don't rely on him to help you. He did not explain things clearly. My high school math helped out a lot. All of the homework was online which was very helpful. Not a very hard class, but I didn't learn much from him.

Dr. Nick is a very GREAT professor. Very clear about what was expected on the 1st day of class. The webwork was very helpful & also 20% of your grade. He sent out emails always informing students of exam dates, as well as where to go to get help (if needed). Come to class and take good notes & you're sure to pass the class. Very fair in grading!!!

He is a decent teacher if you love math. he does not explain the material very will and if you ask a question he just gives you the textbook definition which is only clear to math majors. he is funny but not side splitting and make the textbook your best friend because you will need it he does not help

Make sure you know math before attending his course because if you have questions to ask him, he makes you feel like an idiot. Goes too quickly through material and leaves you behind.

Dr. Nick's favorite lines are "error" when he makes a mistake on the board. It happens at least 4 times a class period. His favorite variables are squiggle and star, he likes to show his funding accounts during class and make comments about lady gaga. his hair is greased back and he likes to wear leather gloves. easy A, just show up and enjoy.

It's a miracle I even passed the class; I'm still not sure how I did. He makes things SO much harder than they need to be.When you ask questions, he looks at you like your dumb. I quit going to class all together and got a tutor. Study by the sample test; they are IDENTICAL to his real ones. Good Luck!

Comment:
He went through the material fairly quick, but that's to be expected from a college professor. His methods for explaining the lessons are more complicated than they need to be. His tests are very similar to his sample tests, so if you have a basic understanding of all the concepts you'll be fine. Do your webwork too. It can help out MAJORLY.

Comment:
The class corrects him everyday on his arithmetic. He makes the lesson wayyy harder than it needs to be, but the webwork is quite easy. I wouldn't recommend him because of his grouchiness and his dislike of elementary ed. majors. He loves to write on the board with dead markers.

Don't like this class. Hard to concentrate not very helpful, acts like he doesn't like students. Work isn't too hard but he overly complicates it.

This guy is the man. He may rush through the work but thats what professors do. When you stay after to talk to him hes really chill and quite funny. People just need to get to know him but overall, great class.

Horrible professor. He rushes through the material and hardly explains the logic behind what he's talking about. Most of the people in my class were lost even on the basic, introductory stuff he explained it so bad. He is also extremely rude and very grumpy and acts like he could care less about helping his students.

I like the way he calculates grades (either average between all your tests and WeBWorK or just you final exam grade whichever is higher) other than that don't bother asking him any questions at his review because he will just say "well i wen't over that in class" (but i never wen't to class so thats probably why he said that) im happy i took it tho

Comment:
He might have been a good teacher in 2007 however now not so much. He doesn't teach very well and its hard to take notes because he blocks them half the time. Very awkward to ask questions. Wears the same thing most of the time. Does extend the homework and sends practice test. Attendance is not mandatory, but you might as well just teach yourself.
