Comment:

He's really charismatic and he's not afraid to joke around. There are very few assignments (three short papers, a midterm, and a final) so you NEED to put time into studying for them. We analyzed all sides of Thomas Jefferson and I'm glad that Nelson didn't make TJ out to be a saint. Moral of the class was that TJ was a complex hypocrite.

Comment:

Amazing professor. Make sure to do all the reading and take notes during the lectures. The individual portion of the main group project for the class I took (ARTH 2753) was very stressful and difficult, but if you seek the right guidance and work hard in the class its possible to get an A. Great lecturer and great course!

Comment:

Louis is one of the best lecturers I've had at UVa and SO. HOT. He is incredibly charismatic but people with less of a background/interest in history might find his lectures difficult to keep up with. I greatly enjoyed this class, and would recommend it to anyone interested in Southern history/art

Comment:

Louis is easily the best professor I've had so far at UVA (4 semesters). You can tell he's passionate about the course material and the lectures are amazing! That being said, the readings are pretty intense (although no textbook!) and you really get out of the class what you put into it.

Comment:

Professor Nelson is one of my favorite professors I have had so far in college. I am not an architecture major, but found his class engaging and his talks very interesting. He is a fair but tough grader. There was a lot of reading and writing in my class, but he gives you plenty of useful feedback on papers. He is particularly a stickler on prose.

Comment:

Professor Nelson is a really interesting guy. His lectures are great - very engaging and easy to follow. It's obvious he has a true passion for what he's doing as well as an excellent understanding of it. I would really recommend his Arts&Cultures of the Slave South class with Professor McInnis. The two really teach well together!

Professor Nelson's class was well organized, entertaining, and very interesting. His lectures are awesome, and he tells you the exact information that you need to know. The term paper was a challenge, but if you study hard and follow the directions on all tests, quizzes, and assignments, an A is definitely attainable.
