Reviews of professor Nagayasu Nakanishi

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Nakanishi's disorganization and lack of engagement made the learning experience a chaotic mess. He seemed more interested in showcasing his own knowledge than ensuring student comprehension. Replying to the "crybaby" message, this is not an overreaction; just an honest review. Please, save yourself the headache.

Brutal class, gives very little information to study before tests so you cant miss a lecture and lied about the grading curve causing my grade to drop a letter

Amazing professor. Lectures can be a bit confusing (esp. the math portion) but hes always ready to help his students. Likes giving pop quizzes but theyre easy & as long as you go to class and follow along, youll do fine. The saving grace this semester when switching to online. Had an A when he taught & quickly lost it with the other professor.

Legitimately the worst professor I have ever had. Nothing to study except for the lectures (all derivations with little explanation of what is going on) and a few handouts. Harshest grading I have ever seen in any class. He gloats in students failure/has a huge ego and want everyone around to see how smart he is by making everything impossible.

Nakanishi's course was the most disorganized/frustrating experience. Lectures were wasted deriving equations. Tests failed to accurately assess knowledge. Getting an A took a ridiculous and excessive amount of effort. Despite some labeling these complaints as mere "cry babies," the impossible nature of the course suggests otherwise.

No recorded lectures, study guides or complete lecture slides. Which I'm sure is a tactic to encourage class attendance but instead makes studying for exams incredibly unintuitive + frustrating. On top of this, the exams are few and cover a lot of material. Class averages for the first two exams were 60 and 47. DO NOT TAKE NAKANISHI!!

Class is lecture heavy, but very few powerpoints. Most of the lecture is on the whiteboard, and is hard to follow. After students brought up concerns about material on the tests and grades on the first midterm, he was unwilling to change any of his methods. Barely any review material is given, and the Q&A sessions are useless.

Unhelpful lectures and impossible harsh grading.

Worst professor in my college career. I am BEGGING you guys to take someone else. He brags about how no one can make an A or B in his class. He literally tells you he wants you to fail. No one in the class is passing and when he voice our concerns, he laughs in our faces. He does not care about his ratings or student success either.
