Reviews of professor David Nickerson

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Really great professor, very knowledgable. Easy going as long as you put some effort. He cares and wants you to succeed. Dont be entimidated by the amount of assignments because they are really easy and fun. You wont fail this class unless you are a pure idiot.

Great person, but cannot teach online. I've learned nothing all semester, and am unprepared and extremely confused on our final project. I go to office hours frequently, but am still lost and regretting not doing pass/fail. He is accessible outside of class, but left a project worth 65% of our grade for the last two weeks. He grades tough too.

Professor Nickerson is a really good guy. This class was difficult in an online format, but he was very understanding and patient. He's super smart and knowledgeable; I would recommend that any Political Science major takes his classes and gets to know him. Just go to office hours a lot and ask questions; he's very willing to help students.

Professor Nickerson seems like a very nice guy, but his Evidence and Knowledge class was very poorly run. There was very little grading criteria and each assignment took forever to grade. It was my most stressful class by far this semester and I really didn't learn much. He meant well, but it just was a very confusing class.

Great prof, but seriously struggled acclimating to online teaching. I cannot emphasize that enough. However, he is a stand-up guy and very genuine person. He has student's interests in mind and is willing to give extensions. Just be prepared for a lot of work and DO NOT take asynchronous courses with him. Dangerously unorganized and confusing.
