MATH4B . Schley N B 2 Months Ago

Not sure why he's rated this low...Prof Schley was an okay and chill professor. His handouts, practice exams, and quizzes were pretty helpful for preparing for the exams.

He's a nice person but don't take his class. Very disorganized lectures. I may not matter that if there's no section quizzes about random contents. You may be tested on the materials you learned yesterday or from two weeks ago…And the quizzes worth 10%of the whole grades! The materials are not that hard but Dr. Schley made everything confusing.

Cannot lecture. Often talks about how he spent a large amount of time debugging or trying to set something up on the practice problem website. There is almost 0 need to create a website for it when you can create a PDF document containing the same questions and answers... I'm also sure Cursor could have one-shotted the website on its own.

He's a great guy but not a very good teacher. He is very passionate and loves math but he does not translate that well into teaching. Content is not too hard, and you can learn it on your own; the lectures are not useful. I'd recommend you self-study mostly. The sections are mandatory, and you have weekly quizzes worth 10%.

MATH4B . Schley N B 5 Months Ago

Very disengaging lecture and hard to follow. Skips steps in his math and is super unclear. Unclear exam dates. Nice guy, but honestly more cut out to teach algebra 2.

MATH4B . Schley N B 1 Year, 2 Months Ago

Nathan would often go into tangents and not really teach concepts in a way that leaves you feeling like you learned any material. His canvas/class structure/ just everything had a disorganization to it. Possibly an easy to pass class, however, if you want to learn material to supplement your future classes, find another professor
