Reviews of professor Nathaniel Kinsey

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
BEST E&M prof at VCU! This class is challenging, but he explains every concept straightforward and cares that we do well. There is hw, quiz every week, 4 midterms (the final is a midterm), and 5 labs + presentations. Make sure u go thru his midterm reviews as some q's are similar on the midterm. Coax cable will be your friend/enemy for this class.

He is the best prof for this class, but E&M is challenging. He posts his lecture notes, but still make sure u go to lecture as it will help understand concepts better. There is hw almost every week and they prepare u for the quizzes (this will prob affect ur grade most). There are 5 labs which are difficult but u can work in groups and presentation

First semester teaching undergrads. He started with a class of 15 and 6 recieved passing C's. A third of people withdrew from class and the rest received D's or below. I believe he is trying to emulate the legendary Hadis Morkoc who routinely fails entire classes anytime he is forced to teach undergraduate students.

This class was a full time job, more than a third of the class withdrew or failed, the rest got Bs and Cs. He doesn't provide practice problems or homework keys because he thinks they are cheating. Class is mostly taught from two textbooks that he jumps back and forth from

Kinsey does give a lot of HW, but he gave us multiple attempts, so u do get to learn from ur mistakes. Calc 3 is super important to this class, but Kinsey actually helped me understand triple integrals better than my calc prof. As long as u show up & ask for help when u need it, u should be able to pass just fine.
