SOC126URBAN . Nielsen E S A Month Ago

Professor Nielsen is a great professor. Online exams, he is easygoing, kind, and caring. Lectures were interesting, graded by some papers, criteria for the papers is always clear and if you follow them well you should do very well. Always willing to help and answer questions. Take classes with him if you can

Was a really good professor, although they do kinda send the guidelines for the essay very last minute but was an interesting course!

one book to read, weekly personality tests, 2 papers, a midterm, final paper, and final exam. didn't upload the instructions for papers until the week it was due so that was pretty stressful. iclicker attendance, but all of the exams are take-home/open note. overall good professor and really interesting class, but could be a little more organized.

I thought Nielsen was great. The workload was a little heavy, a quiz and essay due every other week, but the class was pretty easy overall. Lecture was easy to follow even if a bit boring at times, and I liked Nielsen as a person. Good class.

I've taken 3 courses with Nielsen, and he's great. His lectures are sometimes boring, but if you're looking for an easy class, take him! His classes are formatted the same, with 2-3 short essays, and 3 multiple choice, open-note at home exams. Exam answers are all in the notes, and he gives you a study guide. No other assignments other than that!

SOC130ST . Nielsen E S 9 Months Ago

The class was interesting and the lectures were engaging but the work load was very dense. One of the most work heavy course in SOC we had three exams, three papers, and weekly forum posts. There is no breaks with this class there is always a lot of work coming up.
