I took Public Speaking with Nelson, and it was an awesome experience! He's extremely encouraging and he is genuinely trying to help you improve and hone your skills. Lectures were really fun and I always looked forward to them. If you want to become a better public speaker, take ENGL 208 with Nelson, you won't regret it.

I loved taking nelsons INTR100 class. He is a real gem. He is helpful both in class and outside of class. He is also a fair marker and would give you the best feedback when it comes to essays and writing assignments. If you pay attention to his feedbacks and work hard in his class, then you will definitely pass.

Chatty and a little self-involved, but overall a friendly guy and a solid professor. Gives good, thorough feedback, marks fairly and seems to genuinely care about his students. In-class discussions are really interesting. Try to show up to class or give advance notice if you can't; Nelson doesn't take well to skippers/tardy students.

Nelson was the best teacher I've ever had, I would take every class with him if possible. Was a dry course but he always found a way to make it interesting. He makes sure everyone understands what he is talking about and really wants everyone to succeed. He made everyone in the room feel included. I highly recommend Nelson.

Nelson was a remarkable professor who brings a ton of passion to his work. Helpful and understanding at the right times. Has a rich body of life experience and an independent spirit. Challenging enough to make you learn, but nothing is unfair about his courses. Cares greatly about the experience of the class. Its essential to do the readings!

Nelson is a great prof; really enthusiastic about what he teaches and wants his students to succeed. He does not like latecomers and participation is important in his classes. He marks very carefully but is always willing to meet you during office hours to discuss how you can improve.

He is probably the best English teacher at Malaspina. He is very enthusiastic and stimulates interest in the class. He is definately helpful, friendly, and cheerful when you visit him in his office. Fair marking and easy quizzes. He is an all around great guy. Malaspina should have more professors like him. Take his class. You will not regret it.

I think he is an awesome teacher. Malaspina should have more teachers like him. He inspires his students and makes the class interesting and fun. He is patient and will spend as much time going over with you what you need if your having problems. My advise is that if you have to take a course and can get him as a instructor, get him.

Very enthusiastic and brings out some of the more interesting topics in the plays we read. Probably the most helpful teacher I've had. His workshopping of research paper outlines worked great. He was fanatastic at getting group discussions going and respectful of all opinions. Would highly recommend his classes and working with him one on one.
