Reviews of professor Mark Nelson

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
One thing I noticed is that people are intimidated by his class when they hear about it. All you have to do though is do your homework and study for tests well and you will do well. He knows what he is talking about and is very detailed. All the grades in his class consist of either in class responses or tests, so just study well. Great Teacher!

Definitely the hardest class I've taken, but I enjoyed it because Mr. Nelson obviously knows what he's talking about. Daily homework of reading the textbook & answering questions. Most of the time there's a written quiz on those questions the next day. Only 3 tests total (including the final), all free response. Study as you go & know your vocab!

He is an amazing professor, but you get out of the class what you put into it. I took his class for two semesters and this man truly loves his job. He does require you to read the textbook though. On the quizzes he gives in class he usually gives an extra credit question that will bump you up a whole letter grade. Definitely worth taking.

While Professor Nelson is a great teacher with thought provoking lectures, his assignments and assessments seem to be structured towards people who want a deeper understanding in American history. This is shown through his homework that is usually 20-40 paragraph questions followed by a pop quiz from one of his questions.
