I think he really is a great lecturer and relates topics to really life, really useful knowledge. The exams are fair, but to do well you need to put in lots of time to study the slides and going over the lecture caption helps A LOT! ",

All of our lectures were recorded which was nice, so if you're going to miss class for sure watch the lecture later. Very helpful and very thorough. Fast pace for the course but there's a lot of material to cover.",

Gives crystal clear goals for each lecture and plenty of practice problems. Hardly need to touch the book, as lectures are posted on iTunes.  Totally recommend him and Nelson!",
