Reviews of professor Nick Rose

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
If you are looking to get an easy science class for your requirement, this is not the class. Nick is a new teacher, and his style of teaching is rather boring. He does give out lots of extra credit for tests that can boost your grade a whole letter grade. However the homework is long and tedious. He is a nice guy, but not an experienced teacher.

I really enjoyed this class; it was full of interesting material. There aren't very many (if ay) video lectures but the reading combined with the homework makes it easy to understand and retain the material. There is a lot of homework but I figured that was part of a 4 credit course. He's an easy grader and it wasn't difficult to keep an A.

While the material isn't that hard, there is A LOT of it. It won't be bad if you get you assignments in on time, however, if you're ONE SECOND late he'll doc you off points. His late work policy is one of the worst. If you turn in late work for more than three days, you can only get 50% of it back if you do it again.

Professor Rose seems like a newer teacher. I took his online geography class and it was somewhat difficult (part of this might have been because of the online component). His 1+ hr lectures were very boring and it wasn't easy to learn the material. Lots of homework but he was a very light grader, and gave you points for telling jokes in a test.

Nick is a great instructor. He made the material interesting and although the class is work heavy, he created assignments that made the material relevant. He also gave opportunities for extra credit, which was useful in raising important grades. I enjoyed this class and would definitely recommend it!
