Reviews of professor Justin Nicoll

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
An exceptional lecturer! Man can talk for 10 hours straight and I'd still listen. An inspirational figure that makes you foster a deeper understanding of 446. The class itself is inherently difficult, but he amplifies your experience by always welcoming questions. His exams are mostly MC and you'll pass if you dedicate yourself to actively studying

Dr. Cook is among the best instructors I have had at CSUN. He is super caring and is always willing to help. He has office hours always available for students and he is also very responsive with emails. Tests are not too hard, but you have to study for it. His lectures are very detailed and he explains very clearly too.

He is not the professor to go on the online setting. Lags to respond to emails. Gives vague description on what he wants on on his assignments & he's very hard on his grading. It seems like if he doesn't know that we're in the middle of a pandemic & that we're also taking other classes. Save yourself the stress. Wait if you can to take em in person

A great asset to the academic community. This class isn't easy, but he makes it easy for you to learn. He knows his stuff, he doesn't just post slides and expect you to get it. do not take him for granted because he is highly sought after for this course, he is not just an easy grade, you will have to work for your grade. He is fair and great.

Really amazing Professor one of the beat at CSUN! He really cares for students and is always available outside of class. Exercise Phys is a really hard subject in general but Dr. Nicoll knows how to teach to an extent where on can understand. If you are into resistance training and want to get an CSCS Ceritification Nicoll is who you want to tack

Dr. Nicoll is the quality of professor I would expect from an ivy league college- not CSUN. He was meant to be a teacher, and he doesn't just know the information he's teaching- you quickly come to realize he's one of the big contributors to research in exercise physiology. You're going to have to work for your grade, but his class is worth it.

Honestly, I was scared of taking 346 because it is the most failed class at CSUN. However, Nicoll is such an amazing prof! He is so kind, funny, & he WANTS his students to pass! He is there to help you & guide you through a tough class. I would 110% take him again. Long lectures (obvs its physio), record his lectures/study his notes, you will pass!

He goes over everything you need to know so nothing on the exams are a surprise so go to class and note everything he mentions. Study that and you'll get an A. Very fair, clear and enthusiastic prof i would take him again. He posts all his slides as well which helps.
