MATH102A . Schley N B 3 Years Ago

Nathan is a really kind, caring professor who is really passionate about teaching. His class was heavily based on investigation and working with others instead of having a traditional lecture approach. He is really fair in grading, and is really the most real and understanding professor I've ever had at UCSB.

Great professor. Didn't lecture too much and gave enough time for investigations. Really eye opening class.

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.

He is very smart but does not express his thoughts well to students. He makes little sense and makes the math harder than it needs to be. Do not recommend.
