Reviews of professor Eric Nost

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
The lectures were very boring and this class had me more stressed out than my mandatory classes. Class average for the exam was in the 60's. This is not necessarily a "bird course" so get ready to consume all of your time in this class to achieve a high grade.

Really empathetic professor who cares about his students. He is also very lenient with grading as he allowed me to redo an assignment without a late penalty. Do the readings, show up to class and participate, you will get a good grade!

This class is listed as a bird course on many websites, but I would disagree. This course is very paper-heavy, and the instructions for the papers aren't very clear. They are also marked hard. Professor Nost was not very engaging in class. If you are looking for an easy class don't take this one.

Really enjoyed having Nost as a Prof! Didn't enjoy the course much but Professor Nost explained the content well and clearly wants his students to succeed. He is very accommodating and tells you exactly what to do to succeed. Attendance is mandatory due to weekly live quizzes. Additionally, I found the research assignments confusing at times.

Nost was pretty decent, his lectures were a bit boring but the quizzes and final assignment were outlined very well and he was always happy to help out if you needed assistance.

Switched into his class last minute and I'm glad that I did. His lectures are really engaging and he listens to any feedback you have about how to improve. He tells you exactly what you need to do well. One of the best profs I've had at the University of Guelph.

Super nice professor! He explains concepts very well and is always willing to answer questions that students may have. He's engaging and seems to enjoy teaching. Would recommend taking one if his courses.

Very sweet, kind professor. Professor Nost was accessible outside class much of the time. His lectures were relatively simple and the weekly quizzes were easy if you paid attention. Did not like the weighting of the course since most of it relied on a paper. Overall, a great professor who wanted students to succeed.

He's amazing. You never get bored of his lectures, but if you read them in your own, your bound to be snoozing. He's very helpful, quick to answer emails and even comes to the computer lab if you're stuck. I really wished he would teach 3480 too. PS. labs are pretty easy; takes some time but definitely a mark booster if you do what it says.
