Although the course has a lot of reading and assignments correlated to the reading, the professor is probably the best you'll ever have. He is really kind, caring, understanding, and passionate. He also treated us to drinks at the end of the semester.Rate My Professors ↗
Professor Nosek is a great teacher. It is a student-centered atmosphere. We had two group projects that allowed students the room to present a topic and be creative. It was fun! I would take his class again, and I wish there were a part two.Rate My Professors ↗
Joe is extremely accommodating and reasonable in both assignments and grading. If you participate, smile, and do the homework, you will get an A without much trouble. He's a fun dude tooRate My Professors ↗
Joe is a great professor! He really cares about his students' learning and always gives great feedback on assignments. He's not a harsh grader, and his exams are take-home and very fair. I'm an Electrical Engineering major and would take any class Professor Nosek teaches, even if it's not for credit or applies to my major.Rate My Professors ↗
