Reviews of professor Michelle Nelson

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Nelson was one of my favorite professors at UMR. She taught very thoroughly and her lectures were easy to understand. She was always willing to help you outside of class. She was also very caring about students outside of school. She would always be asking how we were doing and even having non school related conversations when not in class

OCHEM 2 was a lot harder than OCHEM 1 and Prof. Nelson communicated that from the start. I felt like she was tougher than in OCHEM 1 because of that. She raised the standards but also offered plenty of support to succeed. I learned so much from her (also in Chemical Biology later) and have used what she taught me to pursue a PhD in Chemistry!

Dr. Nelson was such a great professor. I always remember having fun in lab classes. She was very patient with me when I went to her her for office hours and I was confused about certain things or how pieces of ochem fit together to tell a whole story. Highly recommend!

One of the best professors on campus. Dr. Nelson has a passion for her students. She not only cares about how you are performing in her class but also how you are doing in life. I could not have survived OCHEM 1 and OCHEM 2 without her! She takes time to explain things in a way that makes sense.

Chemistry classes are a gem in UMR, especially when taught by Dr. Nelson. Dr. Nelson is very knowledgeable and one of the best professor I have ever had for Chemistry class. She will teach you all the tricks and best way to learn and memorize (Yeah, I said memorize. But she made the memorization effortless). Take her class whenever you can!

Professor Nelson was amazing. She was kind and caring, while upholding a strong level of academic integrity. She wanted all of her students to master the course concepts at their own pace. She was always willing to make time to help outside of class and meet students wherever they are at in their chemistry experience.
