Reviews of professor Kiel Nikolakakis

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Slides are provided, but are incomplete so either plan to go to every class or get them from someone else. Is good at explaining the material, but moves pretty quickly. Is easy to get ahold of for questions.

Great lab instructor! Class was very fast (4 week section), but he was accessible and worked well with me to ensure I didn't fall behind.

The 4-week organic courses are great, but basically are all you can do during the class. Made lecture easy to understand, and is great in lab. Is very easy to talk to in class or at his office.

Hard exams, but gives good explanations and approachable outside class.

Tests are difficult, but a large part of the class is graded based on homework (which is easy). Answers questions clearly.

Kiel is a great professor, he's aware of the difficulty of the material but makes it very easy to understand and follow along. He is also very accessible whether it's during office hours or by email, he's happy to help. He's pretty easy going overall and is nice to chat up.

Awful instructor! Worst class I've ever taken. He's unorganized which causes him to have to rush over examples in lecture.  His tests are very long and the questions cone from no where. Avoid at all costs!!

Great professor to have for lab. Goes over material before doing the lab so you understand the reactions happening. Gives feedback and will help you do well on post-lab questions!

Great professor for lab. Explains things well and helps you in class.

Kiel was quick to answering emails, but not the best at explaining things. You were given exams back, but rather than explaining why things were wrong he just marked it as incorrect without an explanation. I also found his answers when you asked questions in lab to be a bit judgmental and prevented me and my partner from asking.

Worst professor at UWGB! Rushes over material and uses simple examples, but then the problems that show up on the test are multi-step and extremely difficult. The tests are very long and he is a very hard grader. Having the correct answer but wrong work will get you two points out of ten. Poor communicator and I would 10/10 not recommend.

Bad Chem 2 professor. Great organic chem lab instructor.

Hard exams, but only count for part of your grade. Exams are curved, and extra credit was available towards the end of the class. Very friendly outside of class, and is really good about answering email questions quickly. Not my favorite class, but his lectures make things entertaining.
