Comment:
Dr. Neilsen is the right guy for the job if you plan to study Chemistry further. Show up to every lecture, bring your notes to class, do the homework and know it like the back of your hand by test day, and you will do well. Slack even a little bit and you'll suffer for it. I plan to take him again for General Chem if I can.

Comment:
Ok seriously, chem at SFC sucks. But, if you are going to take chem, take Nielsen. He can be rude, but he explains things well. Pretend it's not an intro class and treat it like general chem, because he sure does. If you do that, his class isn't bad. I just took gen.chem at FSU and while we covered stuff he didn't teach, his class certainly helped.

I took Summer A. I went through the homework on a regular basis and attended class reguraly. I though the class was a breeze and didn't have any problems. He does grade on test alone but if you do your homework its not a problem. I though it was an easy A but had chemistry prior to the intro to chem class.

Teaches off powerpoints, which makes note taking a breeze. The test questions are directly from his powerpoints. Carefully study each powerpoint slide, and the tests will be very easy.

Comment:
Best Chem teacher! Will do anything to get you to understand,if you're interested and concerned enough to simply ask.Tests are hard,but not impossible.This class/professor requires you to actually sit down and study.Lectures,PP,and Hw are all you need.Will not need the book.He'll spend over 1 hr,during office hrs to help a single student.Great Prof

I love chemistry but this teacher is honestly difficult. More than half of the class had dropped towards withdrawal date. The only students left consisted of hard workers, people who didn't care if they failed, and those who cheated. This class will be hard if you don't have "sources."

Comment:
Professor Nielsen told us right at the beginning of his class wasn't going to be easy (he wasn't kidding). He isn't very approachable. But to his credit he is a very good teacher, always trying to keep things relevant to real life and emphasize patterns. I would recommend him if you want to learn (because you will) but for an easy A, go elsewhere.

Comment:
You'll only get As on tests if you've got resources. Homework is harder than the test, but multiple choice is killer. HW long and tedious, like lectures. Prof is condescending and paternalistic, he wants to be your stern old papa and "make sure you learn it real good!" Grade based 97% on tests, 100% if you miss 3+ days.

Comment:
Very boring and arrogant.Incourages you to ask questions, but will try to make you look stupid for about 30min. HW and Power Points don't even pertain to the test, but yet and still that is all he focuses on. Labs and attendance TOGETHER only count for 3 POINTS! Grade is all test!

This course is a breeze if you read his priceless powerpoints, HW sets, and HW Answer Keys over and over again. In the beginning of the semester, vote for 4 tests (he asks the class if it'd rather have 3). Tests are modeled after above items, so if you do well on them, don't worry about the ridiculously standardized final from ACS.

Comment:
Very boring lectures and teacher... got a B+ for just dozing for an class... but very ano about attendence and sleeping... but all he cared about was attendance and getting mad at people skipping to study for tests. His tests are a bit tedious and doesn't really pertain to his lectures... only take him if you have resources.

Comment:
His CHM2045 class isn't as hard as everyone claims. DO NOT judge the homework as your only source of difficulty, cause they are next to worthless as far as exams are concerned. The exams are exponentially easier than the actual given HW. However, I do agree on him "exploding" on you, IF you ask him unguarded questions (unclear or imprecise).

i could understand every single thing that he taught in class, do the homework online backwards and forwards, read the chapters, attend a couple of study groups, study by myself for hours and STILL bomb the test. no exxtra credit nad he only grades on his 4 tests. i wouldn't honestly tell any one to take him.

Comment:
He teaches from power points and does correct them often. His tests are mostly from assigned homework but not entirely so be prepared. He gives different amounts of partial credit for different people. Nice guy, but not the best teacher. I recommend him but NOT for a summer class and only if you ask A LOT of questions and visit office hours

Comment:
I had Dr. Nielsen from Intro to Gen Chem II. I can tell Dr. Nielse is so helpful. Sometimes, people think that he is trying to make you feel dumb. But, actually he is trying to explain the concept to you so that you will get it right, that he repeats it over and over again. Just show up, do the homework and you will pass the class.

Comment:
His power points are unclear and he is constantly having to correct his mistakes on the power point. Don't try and ask questions because he will go off on a 5 min power trip trying to embarrass you the whole way through. He doesn't seem as though he enjoys teaching and is a miserable man... do not take him!

He's a strange man. He ripes you a new one if you ask questions. He teaches strickly from power points. If you want to get an A, do the homework and handouts. His tests cover simple material, but the way he presents them can be confusing.

Terrible teacher! I am good at chemistry and he is the meanest professor I have ever had. He teaches in a very disorganized manor. I dropped the class even though I had a b+ because I couldn't stand how mean he was. I recommend taking a different teacher... especially if you struggle with chemistry. Attendance mandatory!

Prints out the notes for the class but tests have some trickery to them. Gives worksheets that covers most of the concepts on the test so you should be fine if you study. Not a good teacher to ask questions though, he will hammer you and then wonder why no one asks questions lol
