Reviews of professor Priscilla Nelson

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. Nelson is very smart and knows a lot about what she is talking about. However, she lectures a ton so it can sometimes be hard to focus. The exams are also very difficult because there are a bunch of random fact questions that stray away from the course's learning objectives and there are some topics that she hardly touches on in class.

I took her course when COVID hit so everything was online. She did not adapt to online classes very well. Every lecture was 55 minutes of her talking at us. There was no involvement with the students. She would lecture with slides, but she would transition too fast to write anything useful down. It was very difficult to learn anything during class.

Dr. Nelson can be tough to pay attention to for a full 50 minutes if you are not interested in geology. She explains the content pretty well, and as a student interested in geology I find her lectures somewhat entertaining. She curved by exam scores so hard by grade went from a B to an A, so I would definitely recommend taking one of her classes.
