Reviews of professor Nicholas Hollander

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
The lectures are not teaching rather you sit and watch as the professor writes down problems from the textbook in messy writing. By the time I was finished with the first problem, I was already three behind. the study guide is just 20 topics from the textbook and there are no practice problems. Tests are impossible. For your mental health AVOID.

Hands down the worst math professor at the school. He teaches the lectures and what is required for learning but does it in a very bad way. He constantly blocks the board when actively lecturing so everyone has to wait till he moves to write everything down and he also teaches the material very poorly. Very unaccommodating as well.

Do not take him unless you're already good at math or are willing to re-teach yourself all of the material outside of class. Writes soo much on the board and talks super fast. Doesn't really explain the math he just writes definitions and an example or two. If you can take math with a different instructor I highly recommend doing so.

This is one of the worst professors I've ever had. His teaching style is very complex, which made it useless to show up to class. His exams were okay, but what made it difficult was the way I had to teach myself the material. Please consider a different professor but if this one is your only option, I wish you the best of luck.

This is one of the worst professors I've ever had. His teaching style is very weird, which makes it useless to show up to class.  he doesn't explain very well and goes over material 1-2 days before the test. Don't take him you will regret it take another professor if you can.

I would strongly recommend to choose another professor, especially if you have to take more upper division math courses. He lectures pretty much from the textbook, basically just writes down what's in the textbook on the whiteboard, but you can't even see the whiteboard because he blocks it. He also gets annoyed sometime when no one participates.

Rude, patronizing, angry. If you ask a question he'll scream at you for not understanding. Class is a waste of time. The ALEKS system is awful. 4 tests, weekly ALEKS hw, weekly worksheets, hours of ALEKS activities. He's morbidly obese and almost trips and falls every class. Loud breathing. Doesn't post grades, no transparency in grading policies.

He can't answer the questions he made himself. He sends out emails where he recants what we learned in class. He doesn't lecture well. Has poor handwriting and most of the lecture he writes on the board. The study guide is just the topics. He claims that nothing hard will be on the test yet he adds questions he is unable to answer himself.
