Comment:

Worst teacher I've ever had. Marked me wrong for questions I had right. He's very scatter brained and toward the end of the semester told the class to just leave . He expects you to answer all the questions while he sits and waits for the classes response. If you have the option, skip 105 as a refresher course because he's the only one to teach it

Nick is a fantastic guy. His class is slightly scattered, but he is is more than competent at describing his teachings. I enjoyed his class very much.

Comment:

People complain a lot about this class but it was easy! Show up for class, do the homework, and you'll get a good mark. Teacher is helpful and very funny, but he doesn't like stupid questions. Neither do I! Knows his stuff and goes on hilarious rants.

Nick is a good teacher but he is brutal with attendance, if you are a couple minutes late you will be punished by not taking your worst test score off

Comment:

If you show up to every lecture, you'll do well. He explains the theories and why they're important instead of useless diagrams (can't draw but he laughs about it). I failed and it's because I didn't do the homework. Do the Homework. Great teacher. Explains so well. Nice guy. Don't be an ass and you'll get along fine. Can mark hardifnot done hisway

Comment:

If you show up to every lecture, you'll do very good in this course. One of those teachers who explains theories to you in exact words, rather than uselss drawings on a chalk board (he can't draw either). His jokes could prolly be improved, but his ongoing rants about nothing is what makes him funny.TRUST ME, SHOW UP TO CLASS!! EVERY CLASS!!!!!

Comment:

Nick is a solid teacher.He's tough if you're not paying attention and ask questions later that you should already know. He's clear and funny during lectures but spends to much time trying to get people to answer questions that he's about to teach and not actually taught.

Comment:

Tough guy to take math with if math isn't your strong course. His chapter tests are hard and final even harder. He has a very odd and in my mind unaffective taching style. Do not not 115 with this guy!

Comment:

All in all, pretty good. Gave take home tests that were not part of the final mark but did help a lot when studying for the tests. If you have an genuine desire to learn the material, he is a great help. When he asks the class questions, he expects someone to answer, he won't let you off the hook. Nick is a pretty funny guy.

Comment:

He is one of the greatest teachers I've ever had. He makes it easy for you to understand.. and is very funny. However, **BE CAREFUL** you should not use the method on the tests that he does not introduce in the class or he will not give you the mark!

Nick Marsden has an organized, clear, and concise teaching style. His tests are fair and reflect the lecture content but you must keep up with the homework. He also has a good sense of humour so class can be fun.

Comment:

Test material did not reflect homework, He tested on the most difficult type of questions not covered in class or the homework. If they were covered in class getting him to explain them was near impossible, and if you asked questions he would insinuate that this was covered in a previous math class(115). Nice Guy but Geeez!
