Reviews of professor Steven Nelson

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
This class is an easy A, as long as you do the weekly readings and quizzes. The lectures are always about what we've read before class. I really enjoyed this class and walked away with lots of knowledge. The professor's lectures are very helpful and thorough. There were 3 exams; we could use cheat sheets on them. I recommend Professor Nelson.

Dr. Nelson is an amazing professor! I loved this class and learned a lot. He makes learning theory interesting and fun. Do the readings and reading response questions and you'll ace the class. Definitely recommend.

Criminology was pretty interesting--talked about some very relevant topics. Second time taking one of professor Nelson's classes and would take again. Read chapter from book once a week, 2 quizzes over it, lectures every class & one assignment a week--doable if you keep up! Tests are a bit long but you can have help sheets.

One of the best professors I've had. Encourages discussion and asking questions, and doesnt make you at all feel dumb if you given an incorrect answer. Very easy going and accommodating. I got COVID right before the final and he worked with me so I could still take it. You do have to participate and will have a portion of your grade based on it.

Great professor! Attendance is mandatory, so make sure you show up for class. For tests, he allows a help sheet (front and back) which helps a ton. Homework is easy (textbook reading) and his lecture slideshows are posted on Canvas for later review.

The best prof I've had at UH. His lectures are easy to follow, quizzes are fine if you look at the textbook, & tests are easy. He allows a help sheet on tests (front/back, copy paper size). He's a really nice guy and is open to discussion if/when you feel a question isn't fair. I actively looked for more classes taught by him. 10/10 recommend!!!!

Professor Nelson is simply my favorite professor Ive ever had. He is very respectful of students, appreciates feedback, and is incredibly knowledgeable in his field of study. Quizzes require actively reading the book (not just skimming) but is worth it because you get better grades on them, exams are straightforward, participate in discussions.

Beware! This professor does not make it clear when assignments are due. If there is an assignment due, look at the date but CHECK THE TIME. This professor makes all assignments due at 11:59AM and NOT PM. I can't tell you how long it took me to realize this and I also can't tell you how upset I was when I found out. Would not recommend.
