Reviews of professor Nicolas Widman

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Lectures are not the greatest, but he is a fantastic professor who will spend a lot of effort with you during office hours. He will make sure you are prepared for exams with his extremely useful review material. Be aware that he has a speech impediment, but he wants your success (I am number 1 widman glazer).

Widman is always willing to accommodate students needs. He will often extend labs if the enough people are struggling and is extremely helpful in office hours. Tests are open note.

What an amazing teacher. I even named my fish after him.

Great guy, definitely a bit of an oddball and his lectures aren't the greatest but he more than makes up for it with his office hours.  Very understanding and will give you extensions on assignments if you ask and will offer to help you.

Widman is by far my favorite cpsc prof. at clemson. He literally gave me opportunities to improve my score on assignments and labs. He sometimes even stayed up until 2 am to help students out with their assignments. he really cares and not a lot of prof. like him are out him. If you're unsure wether or not to take him, take him!

Nicolas Widman seems like a very genuine person and he does care for his students. However, he is not the best teacher. He basically just reads off of the lecture slides and takes really long to grade assignments. His tests are open book, however, he gives a lot of questions for a test that is supposed to take only 50 minutes.

Widman truly wants you to learn the material. However, his lectures are difficult to learn from. His examples in the slides are not great and he speaks softly which makes it impossible to hear him in a large lecture room. Tests are open note and not too hard but you'll need to study a lot outside of class. He's very helpful in office hours, though.

Not an extremely great lecturer, but from word of mouth and by asking him questions you can tell he genuinely cares. Had assignments get pushed back over a week, open notes on exams, tough labs, somewhat used outside sources for learning, however overall I couldnt ask for more (except maybe more exciting lecture, but that's it!).

Dr. Widman is amazing. His lectured are hard to follow, but he makes up for it (and then some) with how helpful he is during office hours. He clearly cares about his students and does anything he can to help you succeed. Definitely, definitely recommend.
