MATH4B . Schley N B 2 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.

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

MATH4B . Schley N B 10 Months Ago

He was an awful teacher. Sure he's a nice guy, but absolutely terrible at teaching. Had I known ChatGPT and Youtube videos would teach me more than the professor himself I would have avoided taking his course. If you want a good teacher don't take this course. The tests are reasonable and you get a note card.

nathan is one of the worse profs i've ever had. fails to explain concepts well and just goes in circles. there's extra credit but that's not really helpful when you're left to self study by yourself. having a good ta helps

MATH4B . Schley N B 11 Months Ago

Lots of homework but extra credit on it. Quizzes every section and often have content on it taught that same day in lecture. Lectures were confusing and he was bad at answering questions from students. The TA was more helpful than the professor. Self-study is needed

MATH4B . Schley N B 1 Year, 1 Day Ago

Schley was a professor I was initially worried to take but as the course went on I found him to be a good prof, not the best but he did care and does challenge you to develop crucial math skills. The homework is a lot but the last two weeks have none. Lectures can be hit or miss but when they're good they can be full of useful techniques.
