Reviews of professor Matthew Nelson

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Very caring professor who wants every student to pass. Their is homework due about every class but its usually light so dont stress it. For big essays its broken up to many parts so you wont fall behind. Sometimes makes bad puns but overall he was a very enjoyable.

This class was an easy A for me. There was a total of i think 3 or 4 essays and you had a lot of time to do them and got class time to correct and get feedback from classmates. He does not count attendance but there are tiny quizzes at the beginning of each class that are worth points. There is usually a reading before each class but they are short

Dr. Nelson is a great professor. He really cares about his students, and wants to know who you are. He uses "grading benchmarks" as he calls them to get your grade - they're all really clear, and it's easy to pass. He usually accepts late work as long as you email him when you need more time. As long as you meet pg reqs, you'll pass the assignments

I love Dr. Nelson, hes incredible. He loves his pun jokes & loves when the students enjoy them. He is so sweet, open, encouraging & kind. If youre falling behind he works with you more than any professor actually would. All you have to do is show up, do your work which is reading a CH & writing a half page response. He had 3/4 main essays.

Dr. Nelson is one of the best professors at COS! He is a kind and generous person. He inspired me to think more critically when it comes to writing. 5 writing projects in total but he will let you revise anything so you can pass the course. He has great office hours that are available for you to get help with your writing or just to talk.

Dr. Nelson was definitely one of the greatest professors I had, although he does grade very hard you will thank him in the long run. He truly makes you put in 1000% of effort into every single one of your writing projects and makes sure that you understand how to write a well put together writing.

Does not grade by points, your last portfolio is what predicts whether you pass or fail the class. Too much homework and gives you essay after essay along with informal responses due before every class. Way of teaching was really poor, is not direct with what he wants from the students, makes everything more complicated than it should be.

He leaves essay after essay and never gives enough time to finish. He is also a very tough grader he wants to know every single detail and what you mean by the words you use. There was a total of five writings. He lags to respond emails. The ratings for him were very high so I thought he would be a good teacher. Would NOT recommend.
