Course is very structured - he has notes and uses them to the letter. But, very well organized and precise. The every-day classes make going over homework difficult, but he sticks to his office hours and works with you until you understand it.

Explaines the material well. Has office hours if needed. Always answers questions.

Very boring class, he does a lot of work, but makes the exams extremely hard. His final is impossible to finish since it is over 20 pages long. However ready to help at any time.

Despite what others have posted, I believe John is a good instructor. Clearly presents the material, and the tests are no harder than any other math class. He is willing to meet outside class for extra help when needed.

Although his material is difficult, he knows what he is talking about. True, testing is extremely challenging, I mangaged to pass it anyway! I say, keep teaching!

His lectures are very good. His grades are based on tests only, and his tests are hard. I study for many hours and i may get a B depending on my final grade. I would suggest his class, but only because i dont think any are better.

I have already reviewed this proffessor but after taking him twice I decided that i was a little wrong. This is calculus people, if you cant teach it yourself, then your gunna have a hard time. His tests and quizes can sometimes be hard, but i have noticed that he is very generous when it comes to partial credit, Not many teachers are.

he is nice as a person tries to help but can't teach really good.

Nedel's lectures are thorough and fast paced. He does tend to say "okay" a lot. Nedel can be a bit condescending and tries to portray that you are wrong and not him. He likes things neat and organized, very precise grading. His exams and quizzes are difficult, but as long as you do the homework and ask questions, you should be fine.

Maybe the problem is the interest the student has in the class. I say this because everyone in my class really liked Nedel. His lectures are very clear, and he writes the best notes. He was very helpful in answering questions and reviewing for quizzes+tests. Personally, I would recommend him.

He is a good teacher even though his test is not easy. His lecture is veryclear. Test will be all of your notes. Write down care fully, you will be good on your test.

He's an ok teacher, but he has a tendency to over enunciate his words and use random words that you'd expect from an English teacher. He's very precise in his work. He's not the greatest professor I've ever had, but he's not the worst either.

If you are prepared to go to class daily, keep up on the assignments and take detailed notes... then this class will be challenging, but rewarding. I've had Mr. Nedel four times during my career at CSCC, he's fair and expects you to do your fair share of work in order to succeed in his class.

I really like this professor, he's straight forward and a great teacher. He is not awful by any means... lori borchort is however (econ, ugh)

This teacher is the best teacher ever.He explains math really well.I actually got an A+ in his college algebra.If one comes to every class,take notes and do homework you will excel in his class just like I did.GREAT TEACHER!!!

Prof. Nedel is a good math teacher he explaines things very well and as long as you attend class and DO YOUR H/W!!! you should do just fine i made the mistake of not doing all of my h/w but if i did i guarentee i would have gotten a better grade. And yes he is a hard grader but if you payattension you don't have to worry about that.

I passed his class with a 90%. he is a great teacher whose teaching methods stick in your head. Do all your homework and study all quizzes and tests and the final will be ok. He asnwers all questions and speaks to you with respect. I highly recommend his class for all higher math courses. A+++ Prof Nedel- Well done.

great detail in explainations

One of the best Math teachers. Teaches in details. He is a bit fast. If you love Math I recommend his class, because he is a true Math Teacher Prof.

He is a great teacher. He goes over the problem step by step and it's very easy to understand.

He took attendance and there were "journals" that were due each week but that was basically it. Super easy class, just sit down shut up and appear to be listening. He even allowed everything to be turned in a week late.

If you want to an A, I recomment this teacher.

He's a math guy and he'll make you work hard. If you do, you will do well. He will challenge you on his tests. Be ready to practice the homework and prepare for quizes/tests properly. I can integrate and analyze geometry like a champ now!

Easy to understand, helps with tutoring.

His calculus class is fast paced and difficult so you have to pay attention and ask questions if you don't understand. Never had any problems outside of the course work. Needs to work on not standing in front of the things he writes on the board since they are the notes we need.

Good, fair teacher.

Lectures are packed with material which is good in a way but it's usually a challenge to follow the whole 2 hours.

I found this class very difficult but not because of the professor. Prof Nedel was very clear in his lectures and was very helpful when asked questions. Downsides-only points are: 6 quizzes and 3 tests+final and he doesn't give out practice quizzes or practice exams. The class is tough so you need a lot of study time!!

Had Nedel twice, once for 1150 (Precalc) and again for 1172 (Engineering Calc); and I can tell you he's wayyyy better in higher level mathematics than in lower level ones. Avoid if you can if you're a lower level Math student, but don't worry if you're taking 1151 or higher.

Professor Nedel is the most amazing, smart and very helpful instructor I have ever met.Trust me or not, I NEVER practice any of the homework assignments or read the book.His lecture notes and examples were enough for me to pass his class with 93%. All you need to do is ignore all these bad reviews and STUDY HARD. I would definitely recommend him!!!

Do not listen to the people that say that John likes to rush through class because that is what the math board makes ALL professors do he barley finishes up on time. His notes are spectacular and are way better than the book. If you come to class ready to learn and you take the class seriously you will pass. I got a B even though I got Cs in hs

If you show up to class, take the notes, and study off of his notes you are sure to get an A or a B on tests and exams, usually the examples he covers in class are on the exams. Study your notes and do the homework. Professor Nedael is very helpful.

He is really professor. Just go to his classes and you would get A or B.

Mr. Nedel was one of the best math professors I've ever had. He's clear and precise. His lectures in class match exactly what's on the exams and he gives you plenty of examples in class. I enjoyed his class and his teaching method immensely.

Mr. Nedel was a fairly good teacher for 1172. There was a ton of material to get through so the class seemed worse than it really was. The homework was very hard but the tests and quizzes were relatively easy. His hand-outs also helped get the basis of the concepts that were covered. He does block the board a lot though. Overall a great guy.

Take notes in class. Participation is key!! Grades quizzes and tests there. Expect grade in 30 minutes or less after taking exam. Notes usually clear cut. Loves to get into his Math land so you have to bring him back to explain. Other than that, a really good math professor.

He comes across as cold at first but he's actually nice. Show up for class, take notes, do the extra homework (not just the ones turned in for credit) and it will help a lot. Calculus is hard, you will have to study, but an A is not impossible.

I took Calculus with Nedel and he was pretty damn good. He gives good lectures, and basically if you make sure you write down all the notes and do the graded homework you will absolutely destroy every test or quiz in the class. He does go fast though in class but I just wrote down the notes and looked at them when I was doing the Hw.

Good teacher. Moves quickly, but thoroughly, through lecture. Make sure to take notes. Quizzes and test are easy-average, often uses examples from the notes as quiz questions.

If you don't want to LEARN math, you probably shouldn't take his classes. Yes, he blocks the board. For two seconds. Then he moves. It's fine. He answered all of our questions nicely. He does have a lot of material to get through so that might be why he seems irritated to some. Never rude. Smart. Thorough. Fair. You need to have the prereqs.

This professor is very easy to follow. As long as you come to class, you'll understand the material. He's great about answering questions in class. You are ultimately responsible for your grade; homework is optional (and the only reason you'd need the book), and the only grades you receive are from quizzes and tests. Taking him again next semester.

Nedel really helped me succeed in Calculus 1. If you study the notes directly then you will pass the texts and quizzes easily. His lectures are boring, but you can learn it later, worry about writing it all down. Can't wait to have him for 1172!

John is a great guy, he is very passionate about what he teaches. He gives many quizzes and tests but is a relatively easy grader. His notes give you everything you need to know, and he moves at a good pace throughout class. There is no required homework, and you do not need the book, although, you can use it as aid. P.S. He loves his jorts!

I've NEVER been good at Math my entire life until now! Mr. Nedel as a teacher is amazing. His lectures may be fast paced but he covers everything that he asks for on his quizzes and tests. All you have to do is attend class. His quizzes/tests are short and to the point. Some are only 3 questions long. Practice is a must! Great teacher!

He explains very well along with looking like and sounding like he enjoys what he does. If you don't do the work you wont pass, but that's life right. He is easy to talk to and prepares you very well for the quizzes and tests you will take. You'll move onto your next math class with a true understanding of what you have done so far.

Really cool dude. He teaches really well, just the material is tough. Nothing too excited but a good straightforward professor. Grades are just based on quizzes and tests. And he grades them real quick. Fair professor just do your part

Great professor pay attention, show up to class, do your homework. Simple guy, do your work and know your stuff and you will get an A or a B. Unlike so many professors his grading system is fairly generous (drops bad quiz and homework). I would recommend John to any student who actually cares about school and is capable of applying themselves.

I really enjoyed class with Mr. Nedel. He does an exceptional job of giving detailed notes in class and giving theory behind things. He is thorough and has very clear expectations for class and assignments. He does grade a little heavy but he grades very fair. I wish I could take every math class with him. I would 100% recommend him!!

Awesome professor. He made difficult topics very easy to understand and tells you exactly what you need to study for on tests and quizzes (He usually goes over it page by page and tells you what types of questions are on each page). His notes go fast so get ready to write. He makes you earn your grade, but he gives you all of the tools you need.

Not a lot to this guy. He's nice but doesn't take any crap. Structure of the class was beautiful and easy to follow. NO HOMEWORK REQUIRED. Good at updating blackboard with grades and synopsis of what was covered in class in case you miss a day (not recommended though because his notes are not posted online).

Gives good, detailed lectures so don't miss class or you won't know what's going on. Class grade depends heavily on test grades (65% of total grade based on two tests and final). Ask questions if things are unclear and d finitely pay attention and take good notes. Know trig formulas before you start this class. (A+ for wearing jorts every class)

Professor Nedel is obviously passionate about what he teaches. He is a bit odd in his delivery, but he provides great information in his lectures and will actually walk you through what you need to know on quiz's and test's. As long as you do exactly what he tells you to do on assignments, you will do very well in his class.

Easy to follow and makes math seem interesting. Best thing is quizzes and tests are graded almost always on the same day they were given. NO HOMEWORK!!

Professor John Nedel, though very unique, he is a real gem to the math department and every student that walks through his door! He is not there for silly side conversations or to goof off. When I walked in his class, it was 100% structur to the second. I complained about that, but it got me thorugh a tough course, and I have now grown to miss it!

Fair professor. Tells you what is on the quiz and gives good examples. Easy A or B if you just pay attention in class and do your homework. It's not even necessary to do all the suggested problems just make sure you get the examples in class. During exams make sure you show your work and you will be fine.

He's a good choice. He writes all notes on the board and explains how to do everything. He tells you exactly what will be on the quizzes and tests (even the final). No homework.

If you like math and are good at it, this class will be easy. His lectures are long and boring. He tends to over-explain a lot and it gets boring. There is little homework required and he tells you what is on the test/quiz.

Mr. Nedel is an adequate professor. He relies heavily on example problems to help you become more fluent in each topic. Before each test and quiz, he tells you which question is about which topic, so you know what to study in advance. Not only that, but his tests were fair and related to the lecture. His lecture was just a bit dry sometimes.

He is one of the best Math teachers in CSCC, Clear, Organized, and direct. with keeping up with him, not only you will get an A but also, you will understand math and love it. I took 2 classes with him and I got an A in both.

I had John Nedel summer semester 2020. Trigonometry. Due to COVID-19 this course was integrated online. Grades are quick with adequate feedback. Homework is optional so really study up before the 6 quizzes and 3 tests as they are your only grades. However, you can drop your lowest quiz score. Good dude, hard class. Good luck.

I had a great experience. I took business algebra in the fall 2020 semester. Due to COVID-19 this course was integrated online. I typically struggle with math, but Professor Nedel was great. He records and posts his lectures, grades & responds to emails within 24 hrs (normally even less), and it seems like he genuinely cares for his students.

Prof. Nedel was very helpful. He is great at lecturing and makes it enjoyable.

Theres 7 quizzes, 3 tests and the final. You can drop your lowest quiz grade and he offers 1% extra credit at the beginning of the course. He demonstrates everything very clearly in the recorded lecture videos and explains thoroughly as he goes. If you even try a little bit you should at least get a B.

I think Nedel is a great professor. I enjoy math so i enjoy his class. His lectures are specific and leave me to understand the topic. The class is based on quizzes, tests and the final. No homework. One extra credit opportunity. If you arent a good test taker i do not recommend. quizzes are 2-4 pages and tests can be 4-10 the final was 10.

Professor Nedel's lectures were extremely boring, but clear and easy to follow online. The quizzes and tests are very similar to the lectures and make them very easy. Hes easy to reach and talk to if you ever have questions as well.

Prof. Nedel is very clear and consistent in his lecture videos. I feel I have a solid foundation moving forward. However, he is unforgiving about missing tests and quizzes, which comprise the entirety of the course. Watch the lectures, take good notes, and apply yourself. I hope to take more classes from him in the future.

I took Mr. Nedel over the summer online and I think that his teaching method is great. He has no homework and all his lectures are videos so no required attendance. Make sure to take good notes since you can use them on quizzes and tests. (He also drops the lowest quiz score). Had about 5 questions per quiz, 10 on the test, and 20 on the final.

To be honest, I've heard mixed opinions about this professor and I can understand why, but I appreciated his teaching style. He lines out exactly what to expect on quizzes and tests which makes them very easy. As long as you can understand the example problems done in class, you should have no problem getting easy As on all assignments given.

Overall professor Nedel was great. His class was almost entirely lectures, but they were easy to follow. If you take good notes about the quiz and test overviews and study the homework it isn't too bad. He drops the lowest quiz grade but will not allow retakes on anything. I would definitely take his class again.

The class was very easy over the summer, he did not make us log onto class except before quiz or tests. All is open note and was very easy. His videos explain his thinking process very clearly. Definitely take his class!

Professor Nedel was easy to understand. As long as you study for his tests, you'll do fine. Pay attention to the lectures and go over practice problems from the week and you'll do well on his weekly quizzes and tests.

Not sure why Professor Nedel has so many bad ratings. Math is my worst subject, and he made everything very straightforward. Before tests his review sessions were very helpful, he'd tell us exactly what type of questions to expect and his worksheets were pretty much the exams. Was responsive in email. The only thing was his lectures can be long.

A lot of the reviews of him are a little over dramatic He has it down to a system and really knows how to teach the material, you should attend. If you pay attention, and actually practice the problems you should be able to do well. He will tell you the exact type of problems that will be on each page of tests and quizzes. He knows how to teach!

Awesome teacher, lectures are a bit boring but you are able to understand the material. He doesn't give you a crazy amount of homework, and has test reviews during the weekend.

Many reviews are very dramatic, however, professor Nedel is an amazing professor. The course has lecture videos, MyMathLab assignments, and worksheets for every topic. He has office hours that you can go to if you're having any difficulty, and he has a review before every test I recommend going to or watching the video of these lectures.

Honestly I thought he was a good teacher and made the material relatively easy to understand, I dont understand all the bad reviews. He did a review for tests and the final over zoom which was helpful and told us exactly what problems to expect. The textbook was useless and never had problems relating to what we were doing.

I thought the class was set up really well. The lectures were long but informative and I did not even need to read the textbook. He gives great review sessions before each test where he says exactly what questions will be on the test. He grades fast and seems to care a lot about math. There are also multiple extra credit opportunities.

I took his online class. Some sections you could simply skim and do the homework in 30 minutes for the entire week, other sections took longer. It all depends on how well you are in math. The first third of this class you should've learned in high school. 3 Tests, 1 Worksheet a Week and MyMathLab. I probably spent an hour a week on this class.

Great proffesor just do what he says and study what he say and you'll do great 10/10 extremely clear explanation but sometimes he doesn't answer questions great.
