Reviews of professor Jared Nielsen

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Nielsen is the best professor I've had at BYU! He cares so much about his students and is willing to work with them. His lectures are super interesting and he presents the material in an engaging manner. His quizzes and tests are super fair and provides a lot of help to be able to succeed in them.

I can't say enough about how great Dr. Nielsen is. His lectures are insightful and he takes time to make sure students understand any confusing concepts. When he realized that a large portion of the class got certain questions wrong on exam 1, he gave points back, and told the TAs to give more specific reviews moving forward.

Jared is an awesome teacher who really wants his students to be successful. Do all of your work and make sure you read cause you will have a 2 question quiz every single class which makes attending class mandatory. I will say that as long as you study and do your reading you will have an easy A in the class. Also there are 6 mandatory TA sessions.

This class was overall great, there's a lot of assignments that feel like busy work but it's all super simple. The tests are easy and there are reading quizzes each day but he drops the 3 lowest scores. There are connection papers and weekly lectures each week which were kinda a lot but they ended up helping me understand the concepts much better.

Jared is such an amazing professor and I really enjoyed being in his class. He always was willing to answer everyone's questions and showed that he cared. His tests were a little challenging but he did curve and his daily quizzes are very similar to what actual test questions look like. He has many assignment to receive points. Definitely worth it.

Jared is super personable, and a great professor. Assignments aren't that bad, and he is flexible when necessary. Almost all grading is done by TAs, which can be annoying sometimes, but overall a good class. There are daily attendance quizzes, and the tests take studying. Don't take it for a free credit, but it isn't hard to do well.

Jared was such a good professor. He had required readings, then would have a short reading quiz at the beginning of class each day. Then the lectures would be about what we read so we could come with questions. He also required attendance at review sessions which was really helpful. Jared was open and respectful towards students and graded fairly.
