Reviews of professor Lauren Nuckols

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Nuckols had excellent choice of material to go along with the topics we were covering. She was great at encouraging discussion and was very clear in her expectations. Participation lead to greater understanding and more critical thinking. Her class was the most fun I've had in class for a while. 10/10 would take again!

I want to start this off with saying that I dropped the ball when I took her. I was at 79% when I took the final, didn't show up for debate week due to mental health issues. Turned in the final and I went from a 79% to an F and lost my grants. DON'T MISS DEBATE WEEK. You will lose at least 30% of your overall grade even though the syllabus says 10%

Dr. Nuckols is brilliant. She really knows her material and cares about conveying what she knows to students. Excellent professor! Highly recommended.

Utilizes a lot of different avenues (videos, lectures, student-led discussion) to clarify the readings. Flexible with reasonable standards for attendance. Treats you like an adult. When I had an emergency situation to deal with she was completely supportive and accomodating. I would absolutely take classes from her in the future. Great prof.

Lots of lectures. Boring subject.

The group discussions were the best thing about her class. No one ever did the readings, myself included, because it felt like there was no reason to. She was very kind and definitely cared about us learning the material, so maybe it's her first time teaching this class or something...?

This professor will legit minus points off of your assignments and wont tell you why and if you ask she wont respond if she doesnt want to. All you do in this class is annotate and weekly reflections. I didnt learn anything from this course and still didnt get a grade I wanted.

Attendance is mandatory but shes very understanding and if you need to miss a test for personal reasons she will normally excuse. She made lessons interesting and fun to go to. Textbooks were mandatory, but technically optional, and she posts the required readings on canvas. Gives really good feedback on papers and some ideas which was helpful.

Her way of teaching relies a lot on student participation and reading the textbooks. If you don't do either and come to lectures you'll find yourself lost, confused, and sorely lacking in the ability to participate in class.
