Reviews of professor Nicholas Kiersey

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
This professor is not the one to take. His material does not fall in line with what the topic of the class truly is. He also grades work very very slowly, to the point of getting grades back over a month later. He is also not the best at replying to emails sometimes.

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Very harsh in grading. Criticizes grammar instead of the assignment that is being asked. Takes FOREVER to input grades. Always late to class.

Interesting class but he has the tendency to go off topic. He is often unprepared so be prepared for class discussions. Takes his sweet time responding to emails, posting material and grading. Has you write journals every week but doesn't grade them until the end. His teaching style and class structure is all over the place, would NOT recommend.

Dr. Kiersey will make you do a journal every week, but only choose four over the whole semester. He related his lectures to raving and drug use. He should be more professional, and also on time, and he would be a half-decent professor. He is always late. I dont know how he isn't fired lol.

Never left a review for a prof before but I felt I had to for this one. Just don't take him. He should not be a professor. Takes forever to grade (as I am writing this the semester ends tomorrow and he's only graded three things), is a very tough grader, and the material is carelessly reused. Comes off as very lazy for someone who demands so much.

Class was a bit off topic but very interesting. Took him for both POLS 2330-3330 and it was a bit challenging trying to write journals (600 words) for both classes weekly but his lectures were fun. He gives good feedback and is always looking out for his students.

Profesor Kiersey knows a ton about the subject and he is very passionate about it. Theres weekly quizzes and homework but everything is in his slides! If you take notes of his slides you will pass the class guaranteed. He provides the articles and the required book for the book review, he gives study guides and all youll need to pass the class.

I was skeptical of taking this professor due to his ratings. However, he is a great person & professor. He is engaging. By far the most enthusiastic professor I have had. I have some personal problems but when I go into his class, it's like those problems go away for just an hour. I am going to try and take him for another course I have to take.
