bro everyone said this was an easy class but there is no curve and the average on the midterms has been consistently below 60%

Horrible at explaining, and the homework and tests do not correlate to what we learn in class. this should be an easy class but he has made it extremely difficult

This class is terrible. The TA is unkind and not helpful whatsoever, he also is extremely judgmental. The teacher is nice but the lectures make zero sense and neither does the homework. Compared to the other teachers that teach this taking this class with him is like taking a completely different class.

He's a very caring professor and you can tell he wants his students to succeed but I don't think he prepares his students well because his lecturers consist of examples on topics he expects u to already know. I don't think he's good at teaching only because I never felt prepared enough even with CLAS, you basically teach urself all the material.

If you want to truely learn and grasp Abstract Algebra, stay away from this professor.

Does not explain anything and only uses examples to teach. I am always confused in lecture

I just started this course but genuinely wtf

Lectures were very helpful in understanding the content. Walked students through each step. Practice exams were very similar to the real exams. Explained concepts clearly and offered to go over hard homework questions before they were due. Book isn't the best, so youtube will be your friend.

Nathan is a great person and very kind and you can tell he does want us to do well and pass his class. However, he just does not explain concepts and problems clearly. You end up just teaching yourself on your own time. Wouldn’t recommend to people who already struggles in math, you’ll just end up more confused.

Study with him. You can learn a lot. And his exam is doable.

He is a fair and very good professor. I like to study with him.

Man does not know how to to teach, only sets up practice problems for each lecture. It is a self taught course and be ready too be mad. I did not enjoy his course one bit at all

Nathan is a very nice and caring Professor but should not be a teacher. Although he does want his students to do well, he is not a strong/clear lecturer. I ended up having to teach most of the material to myself. Exams include abstract concepts/rules that he expects you to know just because he knows them.

Schley is a great person. He's kind, nice, and really wants his students to succeed. However, he is not a good teacher. He is horrible at lecturing. He tests his students on topics that he never really taught before. Most of the time, I would have to teach myself all the topics.

One of the worst professors I've ever had. He covers basic topics during lectures and then tests us on extremely abstract, conceptual concepts that we never learned. No practice midterms, pretty much need to teach all of the the material to yourself in order to do well. Would not recommend!

Absolute worst professor ever, lectures are completely useless, nothing on the homework is covered by lectures, no practice tests for exams, DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS

Hands down the worst professor Ive ever had. Super nice guy but an awful teacher. He explains nothing and assumes you know everything.

He's nice but that's about it. Not good at explaining things and is VERY conceptual, so if that's not ur way of understanding things I would avoid this prof. Oftentimes he will subtly go over new material in lecture and expect us to catch on without clearly indicating new rules or equations. No practice midterm before this first midterm too. Ugh

Last minute he changed the grade percentage which affected my overall grade, gave us a written final and oral final. I do not recommend this guy. If there is an option "0" I will have no hesitation of giving that.

He didn't curve the class but offered extra credit pretty generously. The final was difficult considering it was 70% on material that he rushed to teach on week 9. Still, he's very friendly when answering questions. 6A is difficult but made the experience *mostly* pain free. Good luck!

He's a really sweet guy. Lectures were kinda disorganized with many mistakes in the slides--something he chalked up to lack of prep time. Tests were straightforward though and not a problem. CLAS with Ziqi was fantastic. Homework was very reasonable. Overall a fine class but lectures were the weakest point. 20% HW, 10 quizzes, 30 midterm, 40 final

Schley is a super nice and understanding guy. As a teacher, he is very intuitive and tries really hard although sometimes his lectures are a bit unorganized. His tests are pretty straightforward w/o weird curveballs.

He may be smart and excellent at math, but he's not a very good professor and makes it a lot harder than it should be esp on exam. Take a different professor if you can

Hes extremely intelligent and jovial. He teaches math from the I side out, not by rote.
