Reviews of professor Nathan Taylor

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
He is a graduate teacher and absolutely useless if you want to understand the concepts. He is clearly mathematically gifted, but can't come down to earth to explain his thinking. He often asked whacky questions that he seemed to think were helpful leading questions, and he would look at you expectantly, and nothing but blank states were returned.

A few days before our midterm, I had a ton of questions that I asked on a Friday night. Even when I told him I didn't expect an answer until Monday in the email, he still responded on a Saturday morning. His work ethic is incredible. He has everyone's respect. His lectures are crystal clear too.

The tests were hard but he curved them pretty nicely. Attendance is taken each week by participation points but you don't know the question to answer in your participation essay unless you are in class.

Lectures are very clear as well as course structure and expectations. Weekly labs, homework, and quizzes are all doable if you attend lecture and obtain one of many modes of help if you need it. Nate is extremely respected, great at explaining concepts, and very approachable. I could not recommend him enough to students of any programming level

He was great! There's a lot of resources for success in this class like Slack, office hours and quick feedback. There's quizzes and homework every week. There's also some extra weekly assignments. A lot of office hours available even on weekends (limited). His lectures and explanations were easy to follow. Labs might have you sweating though.

When you have the chance to take his class, Nate is the best professor. He knows what he is doing, so you can't go wrong with him.

The course is really easy so it does not matter but he really is not the best professor. Much rather take Samuel Fountain or the night lecture. If you take section1 with him you have to do a final if you dont make it to class most of the time

Great at teaching, grading requirements were clear, slides were good, couldn't ask for much more

I really enjoyed this class and he is a very good guy and professor. You have to do weekly modules with a quiz but have 2 chances to take the quiz. You have participation points each week in class that you do by answering a question online. You have to study for the exams because they are difficult but he has a good review and gives points back.

Professor Taylor cares a lot about students and wants CSCI 1133 to be accessible to all students. There is kind of a lot of homework, but none of it is too hard, and the abundance of TAs in the department mean that basically anytime I was struggling, there were online office hours going on. This class made me consider majoring in Computer Science.
