Reviews of professor Wesley Nielson

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
His class is an easy A class. At first it seems like there's a lot of hw, but after a little bit you get the hang of it. Every week you write a 2 page paper based on an article, post a discussion, reply to 2 discussions, and take a quiz. The discussions can be a little tedious bc he wants certain things to be included, but you get used to it

I don't recommend taking this class online AT ALL. The final was extremely difficult; trick questions/confusing questions. Make sure you FULLY understand the whole 500 page textbook as it will be on the midterm and final. Oh, and the study guide does not help so don't bother. Good luck

Do not take Nielson online. I was hoping to take Cultural Anthropology as a summer class to pass the time during self-quarantine. Boy was that a mistake. Professor Nielson will do whatever it takes to fail you. He is not supportive in the slightest, and if you try to contact him for help with anything, he will make you feel ashamed for doing so.

Super great guy who has amazing/inspirational stories to share.  He will motivate you and remind you how important it is to study... how you will feel about yourself for putting on this hard work in for that A you've been working so hard.  Just put in the work... show why you're in that class and it'll be a great time.  Also very happy individual:)

I took his class for Winter 2022 in person, and I walked out the class applying what I learned to my other classes and in life. He was very considerate for the circumstances of the students, super fun and funny, made the class have a comfortable environment. Explained everything if asked to go over something in a different way. Highly engaging!
