Reviews of professor Derek Nelson

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Professor Nelson sets up his courses in a "Hybrid Flex" style where students can choose to attend classes in person, online, or both. It is very easy to plan out how much time one would need to work on his course because the weekly assignments are consistently the same throughout the term. More emphasis is placed on discussion than writing.

The class I took had 2 options, online or in-person. I was in-person most of the time so I will talk about that, the main workflow of the class was to do some reading, answer a short question about reading, go to lecture, answer short question about topic. The class had 2 papers, ~300words and ~1000 respectively

Overall great experience; if you have a busy or unpredictable schedule I definitely recommend this class since you know what assignments and tests to expect ahead of time. He also sends reminders/updates, replies quickly, and his instructions are clear and simple.
