Reviews of professor Mark Nelson

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
All of your grade is based on the morning questions, and he grades VERY hard. The only other thing you will have a grade for is the midterm and final (which are ALL essays). The morning questions are on the reading homework he assigns, so you have to read or else you will not pass his class. I don't like history anyway, but he was not a good pick.

Professor Is very humble, helps you thoroughly with any questions/problems you have. Doesn't give HW, and is not Textbook required. Gives simple refresher quizzes at the end of classes. Nothing difficult about his class, Top 3 professor in department.

DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR IF YOU HAVE OTHER OPTIONS!
This professor is amazing if you're going to major in history. However, for everybody else this class is pretty useless. He assigns a good amount of homework that's not even graded (read the other reviews). You'll put a lot more work in this class for a lower grade than other professors.

He's an easygoing and awesome professor. Gives great feedback and doesn't want anyone to fail. Would definitely recommend this professor for any class.

Nelson is extremely knowledgeable and a masterful storyteller. He likes to make connections between cultural movements and political history. He plays a ton of music! Students have to come to class and must do the reading assignments.

This was my first college professor. Mr. Nelson is an excellent historian and Greenville Tech is lucky to have him. His class can be challenging at times, but he is very helpful on giving advice to attain better grades on his quizzes. He is extremely intelligent and I loved his class!
