Prof. Nichols is the coolest professor I've ever had. He has a very current teaching style & will keep you involved in class with the witty things he says. Very up-to-date with the times. Will talk to you about anything and everything. Very good at giving feedback on papers in a timely manner. Overall: Great professor, great class. 5 Stars.
Awesome teacher!! Very good at his job and very relatable
I would recommend this instructor.
Really good at explanations and is helpful with feedback.
I loved this professor, he is one of the funniest teachers I've had. At the same time however, he is a great teacher that gives amazing feedback.
Very funny
Very engaging, gives honest feed back and provides clarity of what is expected of me.
Never had the chance to fall asleep in this class because he kept everything so interesting. Will make you laugh the whole class. Papers are hard but he grades your papers very easily as long as you follow all of the guidelines. Overall the best professor I have had and I would definitely take his classes again.
I really liked how you give us feeback then let us revise our papers.
Absolutely love this professor
I like that students are allowed to improve there grade, as long as they put in the effort.
In my opinion it's a boring subject, but Nichol's is a great teacher and that eases the pain. He's one you are likely to remember fondly for years to come.
Great class! Must take!
Nichols is awesome. Da best yet.
Long powerpoints thy greatly help understand material
One of the best teacher's I've had
This class was fantastic!
Nichols is cool.
He's cool. He's kinda weird. Like the first day his hand was twitching and we watched it for like 2 minutes. But like he's cool. I liked him.
Really great! Really funny! Best teacher I've had. He's really chill. It's a pretty easy class, as long as you just follow the directions. He even gives you chances to revise your essays. It's really not that hard.
Gosh, he is funny and engaging. His lectures are great and he includes lots of examples and stories so I really get it. He lets you know what he wants in the assignments, and he will let you revise essays up to full credit. Awesome professor, I learned a lot.
This teacher is absolutely brilliant!
A good instructor, always there whenever I have questions or confused about something in class..
Hes very enthusiastic and entertaining
Best Professor ever! Easy A+
Enjoyed every bit of his classes.
I like how you use real life events in your lecture.
Very good teacher, very funny, he keeps you awake and listening and I would definitely take another class taught bu this instructor.
I really enjoyed this class I learned a lot and really like in class discussion
Really awesome teacher! I'm definitely taking him for english 2. If you try on the papers you'll pass just fine. He gives you a second chance to redo the essays. That right there is priceless.
Easy if you put in the effort
He is a tough but fair teacher. Fun and energetic durring class. Makes sure everyone understands the material.
Over all it was a good class. Just not my favorite subject.
Lots of reading, lots of homework, he lectures and you don't have to participate. Tough grader and kind of unfair.
Essays are a little too broad but it makes you put the work into them. Basically a do it yourself class with help
Nichols is so funny and never fails to keep the class entertained. His assignments are too difficult, and if you don't receive the grade you want he tells you how to improve. Would definitely recommend Nichols to anyone.
Funniest professor ever.
Funny dude
Hes a wonderful teacher, knows what he wants and expect it as well.
Nicholas is very good at keeping students interested, he also explains and helps students understand their assignments. Nicholas gives very good feed back on papers, he is very humorous in class which keeps students attention. Great all around teacher!!
Nichols does a very good job at explaining things and what he wants you to do, as well as what he doesn't want you to do. He's really funny. When you do something that's incorrect or that he doesn't like he gives helpful feedback. Really like this teacher!!!
He's funny and a good teacher.
I really enjoyed Nichols' class, he's extremely entertaining and personable. Nothing was too hard. My one (mild) complaint is that every now and then he goes off on tangents (generally funny, though) that don't really relate to anything and you don't get much actually done in class.
Pretty funny, serious about his job so stuff gets graded. He also gives chances to get your grade up so you better not fail.
Great guy, super funny, also very passionate about literature.
Great on keeping class engaged and imputing several forms of teaching.
This is a fantastic English teacher. He goes above and beyond what most teachers do to help students pass. This is a college professor who actually cares.
Great teacher.
Easy going, funny, pretty good class.
This is my second semester of college, both of which I have had Mr. Nichols. He is so passionate about his job, and his lectures are extremely detailed and meant to be funny and relateable while still thorouly
Great teacher! Gives good feedback, interacts with the whole class. Funny and keeps the classes attention! Beat English teacher at PJC!
He always knows how to make things make more sense in the lesson he is wanting us to know.
He gives extra credit to people that get his achevments and he's just teally funny telling story's
He gives extra credit to people that get his achevments and he's just teally funny telling story's.
Nothing wrong with this prof. Trust me, he will help you pass this class if you put in the work....
Inspirational, gives good feedback, has hilarious and amazing lectures
Super funny and gets off topic (but in a good way!) I would definitely take his class again. He seems to actually want us to learn something, unlike other teachers. I would recommend him to anyone.
Hes funny, makes the content easy to learn, and is clear on his expectations.
Hes a very entertaining professor and makes me actually engaged in my learning unlike other professors. I would HIGHLY suggest him to everyone!
thriving
Is good about giving feedback
DOPE!!!!
Great professor love this class
He is an amazing teacher. He is very specific to detail of what he expects and answers any questions he can to make sure you get the best opportunity to ace this course.
I absolutely love Mr. Nichols and his class. I hated poetry going in and he made it fun, he is very easy going and so understanding. He is understanding, but still gets the respect he deserves. His teaching style is amazing, he always makes sure you understand. I hate talking in front of people but he makes it so much better and makes me not nervou
Mr. Nichols is a great teacher and wants you to succeed. He is very open to questions and is ready to help if you need him. He also gives clear instruction as to what he wants from you when you write your essays. He also gives a lot of opportunities for essay revisions, basically if you do not initially get the paper grade you want, you can fix it!
He is a good teacher and follows through with emails and questions..... but my biggest complaint is he CONSTANTLY brings up politics..... and Im in an English class to learn about English, not political issues in the world. I almost dropped his class but Im sucking it up so I can pass and be done.
For the most part his lectures seem to be random. He adds a bunch of random information.
hes awesome
Not a boring moment in this class. Funniest teacher ever. Lets you make up papers to the full amount you can recieve. Very understanding.
Great guy
Very energetic and good english teacher. By far the best english teacher I have ever had, and would highly recommend .
Never gave me a 100 even when the feedback was I see NO problems with this... you did the best to your abilities so why not just give a perfect score?
Very good teacher, cares about your grades.
Very funny very good teacher
Keeps things interesting
Very good with feedback, but its worth the wait sometimes.
Hes very understanding, and helpful. He does grade semi hard. But overall a really good professor. I enjoyed his class!
Great all around!! Best English teacher at PJC!
Hes the best English teacher Ive had in my 17 years of school. Cant wait to have him for British Literature
Funny videos. Haha but still helpful material
Great Job Nichols!
Great guy stuff is easy just dont dont procrastinate hes the funniest teacher Ive ever had he makes some funny ass videos.
Keep grades up to date
He is a really good teacher, funny and grades fairly
He is very funny and it is very evident that he loves what he teaches. He allows you to revise your essays. I would love to have him again.
Noice
A funny teacher and he takes suggestions on how to improve, which is really important.
Class I look forward to going each class day
Very funny, good prof. Does give many quizzes, labs, and papers. If you do the work on time (which its really not all that difficult to do), it'll be a breeze. Amazing professor :)
Covers everything expected in class. Quizzes are over material from class and the textbook. You are provided with feedback over your required essays and the opportunity to correct to receive a higher grade. Mr. Nichols provides opportunity for grade improvement and extra credit.
Ive taken him for English 1301,1302 and now British literature. I absolutely love his classes!
Mr. Nichols is the truth.
This class is hard to fail. As long as you do the work, you should pass fine. He gives multiple attempts at revisions and directs you on what to do to pass.
Excellent teacher and excellent class, I learned more from Mr. Nichols than I have throughout my entire time in high school, 10/10 would take again.
Makes the class fun
Highly recommend him!
I've really struggled with this class, but that's probably because I'm not used to my education being tested by back-to-back, well structured essays. I appreciate that this course and teacher will definitely improve my writing and research abilities. Side note: if you're up for good conversation, Mr. Nichols is more than capable.
Nichols class is very relaxed. I was worried about English class can be very stress filled, but I was never stressed in his class. The extra credit he offers his easy to attain, feedback on papers is clear and easy to follow, and he tries to give students as many opportunities as he can to get a good grade in his class. He is a great teacher.
Hes a great teacher
Amazing teacher
Awesome professor and awesome dude
Really GREAT professor who makes English not so boring. Few essays with exact feedback and ability to correct. Just turn everything in and you'll make at the very least a B.
Awesome professor he is very respectful and hilarious and you can access him outside of school if you have any questions about anything.
Hes really funny and his work is easy as long as you pay attention.
Great class! Enjoyed every second of it.
One of the few classes I have taken that got me interested in the material
I dont have anything negative to say!
Very fun class
Rambles a lot, but he gets the job done. He is clear enough about what is required that you can still easily pass the class if you follow his suggestions. He gives clear instructions on how to pass.
Excellent professor. Very fair. I really like taking his class. He really does a good job teaching.
Very good class. Would take again.
He is my favorite professor!
Best professor ever had. Only had 3 papers and one research paper and a couple of quizzes.
He wants his students to be successful and will help out in any way possible he is also lenient with attendance if you talk to him beforehand great guy!
Hes very willing to help you succeed. Provides great feedback, tells you exactly what he is looking for, and will always take the time to explain in depth anything you need help understanding. Just prepare yourself for lots of left leaning political references in lectures
There's a lot of homework, but his lectures are really entertaining. Doesn't mind late work.
The course was very informative and impactful!
Hes very energetic & laid back. Class will be what you make it. He doesnt grade like a titan but doing your work, as with any class, matters!
Really enjoyed both classes I took. Even though English is my least favorite subject, I always liked coming to class and learning about literature because you made it fun.
