Comment:

Nelson is the man. Thermo is boring and dry, but he is extremely witty, even though most don't listen and miss it - what a shame. The class content is tough but his grading is fair (aka easy). He'll be retiring next year, which is too bad. He may be the only professor that can ably teach a class outside his area of expertise. Real old-school.

Comment:

Takes difficult subject with obscure text, and teaches mostly concepts and general ideas. Nelson is witty, and class is bearable, but not especially interesting. Very low expectations, easy grading since material is probably over most undergrads' heads.
