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 ↗
