Reviews of professor Nicholas Hollander

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I already knew precalculus but i had to take this because of my university. He doesn't explain or write well during his lectures. He heavily relies on an online course called "ALEKS" for you to learn the material. The only time where he explains things well is during the review day before tests.

If you don't have any experience with trig or calculus don't enroll to his class, he doesn't teach! He writes word to word what the textbook says on the board then draws up an ugly example that leaves you with more questions and he doesn't bother translating it then quickly moves on before you could even make any sense of what he had regurgitated.

Awful professor. By far the worst teacher I've ever had while living on this planet. Lots of homework, typically 40-50 questions a week along with a worksheet. Doesn't do a good job at teaching, messy handwriting. You're better learning by yourself on the homework or through YouTube than show up.

Lots of Homework, usually 30 to 40 questions on ALEKS and weekly worksheets except on tests weeks , he has sloppy handwriting and covers the material in class very fast without pauses, loud breather,  3 midterm tests and a final , all his lecture is from the textbook and gets mad when people ask questions and don't seem to understand the criteria.

Sloppy unreadable handwriting, showed up late to lecture, was on many occasions unable to complete his own problems, confusing overcomplicated material, large percentage of grade based on cumulative final, exam study guides are comprehensive lists of every single concept in textbook and do not include practice problems. Avoid.
