Reviews of professor Dan Nichols

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Dr. Dan is a great professor. He's got a sense of humor and enjoys making his problems more fun (How fast would you need to be moving to dodge a bullet?). He works out problems step-by-step so you understand and allows a formula sheet for exams. He assigns odd-numbered problems for homework, but do the evens for more practice.

Dr. Dan is so awesome! He makes physics very simple. Not hard to get an A if you pay attention, take good notes during class, and have strong notes for the exams. The lectures are very enjoyable and the teacher is so caring, both inside and outside the classroom. Dr. Dan is very approachable and will go out of his way to explain topics to you.

Getting an A in this class is extremely doable thanks to partial credit and extra credit opportunities, and I suck at physics. Exams are just like homework problems and he works out so many examples in class and makes you feel super prepared. The homework is a little harder than the exams IMO but makes you actually read the textbook a little.

I avoided PHYS at main campus like the plague because of the horror stories. Dan is a solid teacher and funny. Exams look like what is given on homework and practice tests, no tricks. I was not able to make class as often as I wanted but still did well on the exams by studying the chapters of homework he assigned. Great teacer, highly recommended.
