Reviews of professor Jeffrey Nielson

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Online textbook is nice and fairly light reading. You'll have 2 group meetings a week to ask questions and talk things through about confusing concepts. You take 2 quizzes a week as a group and then 2 on your own that are very similar in difficulty and structure. Exams are online and very similar in difficulty and structure to all the other quizzes

If you are taking Biostatistics then Brother Nielson is the teacher to take. This is a tough class, but he will do everything possible to help you get through it. He is funny and quick to respond to any questions. He gives so much extra help so that you can understand the material. I would recommend him over and over again.

I learned nothing from this teacher. He had his TA do everything from test preparation to answering questions. All of your work is done in groups. You meet twice a week in order to cover two lessons per week. However, tests are done on your own and are very hard. Hope you get a good group! Otherwise, this will be a terrible experience for you.

There's a lot of group work but I actually found it super helpful! Brother Nielson is very nice and accommodating. He definitely wants his students to succeed. He bumped our final exam grade up 2 points just to be nice AND he rounds your final score up. 89.5% rounds up to a 90%. Overall I think he's an awesome professor and I learned a lot from him

Professor Nielsen is the best teacher Ive ever had! He truly wants you to succeeded! He made me believe that I was capable of finishing this class strong and I did it! He was the fastest teacher to reply to emails Ive ever had. Omg! His feedbacks were amazing too. The zoom meetings with him was fun! Amazing lectures and good times! The best!!!!

Hard to get your grade up even though you have 2 group quizzes and 2 homework quizzes a week. If you fail a test might as well drop the class because you cannot rely on getting 100% on your assignments. Homework is 30% and tests are 70% of your grade. Not the best...
