Reviews of professor Nicholas Mercado

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He is overly critical & doesn't offer positive feedback. He is currently a student himself pursuing a doctorate so I don't understand why he doesn't sympathize with students. He is awful as a professor

Professor Mercado is an amazing Professor! He knows his subject inside out. I genuinely look forward to his classes. He does a great job explaining hard concepts so we can understand them. He goes out of his way to help students, very  understanding and super smart. Wish we had more Professors like him. Take his class, you actually learn things!

Don't walk away, run! He gives daily homework and takes attendance like we are in elementary school. He is very knit picky and doesn't want to give anyone a perfect score. He is sarcastic and likes to be in a power position over students.

This was definitely not an easy class, but it's because of the material, not the professor. This professor knew how to make an already interesting class more interesting. There were a lot of assignments, but they were all manageable. I would recommend taking him for any class!

Prof Mercado is one of the best professors at HU. I have taken the two classes he teaches (HPR 63 & 65), and I thoroughly enjoyed those classes. He is knowledgeable about the topics he teaches, encourages meaningful discussion, an easy going professor and doesnt give an insane amount of homework and assignments. Put in effort and you'll get an A.

Professor Mercado is a brand new professor and he didn't do half bad. He's a little sarcastic but he tries to get you to understand the material. He sets high expectations. Avoid if you want an easy course.

HE IS AWESOME! Had him for Ethics and HealthCare Systems and services. He is so knowledgeable about the healthcare field. He makes class interesting and it is a layed-back, open discussion. He gives some routine assignments but they are so easy. No tests in ethics only mini quizzes. LOVE HIM. WOULD TAKE FOR EVERY CLASS IF I COULD.

This class is easy but you need to make an A on every test to make an A because each test is worth a different percentage of your grade. First test is 20% second test is 30% third is 40%. Its pretty ridiculous. Make sure to take advantage of extra credit. Other than that the class is super easy.

I honestly don't understand why his rating is so low. Honestly, one of the BEST professors I have ever had. The class was also by far my favorite. His grading is clear and not hard to understand. There are many assignments and readings, but nothing that you cant manage. He makes the class super interesting. Amazing professor in the department!!
