He really cares about you as a student. He tries to make everybody understand.
I cant say enough good things about this man. He is very religious but does not impose his beleifs on anyone. He makes class fun, makes the material easy to understand, and is always willing to help. It's too bad he isn't teaching at TTC full time
I WISH that I had him this semester for MATH 110!! He is an excellent teacher.
Mr.VanNice is just as his name indicates, Nice. He has the gift for teaching, I say that because I've never made Higher than B's on tests in math Until I had the pleasure of having him as an instructor. He is awesome!!!!!!
Great instructor. A+ in my book!
Mr. Vannice is a great teacher. Wish all my instructors were as helpful and giving of there time as he was. I can only hope I have such a great instructor with MAT 110.
He puts teach in teacher. awesome teacher
Have really enjoyed his class during the summer semester. The material covered is difficult, but he teaches great skills and techniques that helps you understand and retain it for the final! I feel very prepared for Math 110! Awesome!!!!
He is by far the BEST math teacher I have ever had! I used to hate math and have trouble, but he made it very easy to learn and ask questions. I am very prepared for math 110 thanks to his awesome teaching skills!
Excellent Teacher. He teaches full time at a highschool, 5 classes at the college, and still has all the time in the world for his students. He has come up with his own methods for teaching math which far exceed the methods I have learned anywhere else. His class is easy (And doesnt require Homework).
GREAT professor! He makes math seem so easy! I would DEFINITELY recommend him.(and he's hot... =P)
best math teacher ever!!!!!
I was not looking forward to this class since 8 years before I had only just past MAT-101 . On the first day of class all my aniexty was removed and I Knew I was going to learn and looked forward to. If you get Mr. Van Nice you will learn and it will be easier and more fun than any math class you've ever had before. Great all around guy.
he is the best teacher ever. if you arent that good at math you should really take him.
Best math teacher ever!
He is SO great. I hate math and do TERRIBLE in it, but like others have said he comes up with his own way of doing solutions and is always willing to help you! He is SO busy, but has time for you!--ALWAYS!
Just go to class and do your HW and u will do just fine he makes math easy and test are easy.
Mr. Van Nice is just what his name says!! Genuinely good person. Very helpful. Also teaches high school so he teaches like we're in high school which is fine by me. Go to class... that is key!
Awesome teacher!! Always helpful, always available even in his off time. Answers any question clearly. Takes time with those that may be a little rusty in math. Tests are not a pushover but gives great reviews and looks for ways to give credit.
He coorelates math to real life situations and brilliantly provides examples regarding mathematics
Mr. Vannice is such a wonderful teacher. He also teaches high school and still finds time to tutor practically every weekend. He will stay after class to answer questions but with his teacher style everything should be understood during classtime. If you are not a math person i recommend him because he will go above and beyond to help you understan
Really good teacher. He will go out of his way to help you. He goes through material fast, but will offer all the help you need. And he's attractive! lol.
If you ever get a chance to take a class with Mr. Van Nice you will not regret it. He is the best math instructor. He will go out of his way to help. He teaches in a way that is easy to understand. He's very laid back-what you see is what you get. There's no hidden questions on tests that weren't covered in class. Great class! Great teacher!!
I took him for 102 and 110 and I've never excelled at math before the way I was able to in his class, He is truly a dedicated teacher; he takes his own time to meet with students to help better prepare them for test. You must attend class and do the homework in order to pass, but he makes it as painless as possible.
WOW. this teacher is amazing. I can't believe how much i've learned. I'm HORRIBLE in math. Never made above a 75, never understood math, until now. He is the best teacher i've ever had in ANY subject. Takes time out of his weekends just to help students. He makes math so easy. His tests are hard, but he teaches so well that it's not too bad.
good instructor
By far the best math instructor I have ever had. Anyone who didn't have him this semester made sure they had him for spring. Overall grade is a 99%, he takes his time making sure everyone in the class understands what is being taught. Also gives very helpful reviews before test. A+ teacher!
Fantastic teacher. Has been teaching many years. Gives all the "short-cuts" and easy ways to remember things and figure stuff out.
I took Math 110 with Mr. Van Nice and just couldn't pass up taking his class again for Math 111. He is very clear in teaching and makes sure that everyone feels comfortable with asking him questions and he really wants everyone to succeed. His tests are not easy per say but he makes sure you are prepared for them. You must do homework to succeed.
Awesome teacher and he is down to meet any students who need a little extra help at BarnesNnobles?. This shows he really does care and wants you to do well! His test are not the easiest but then again, it depends on how much effort you put in.
His instructional style is very clear and straightforward. He admits to sometimes making errors and is humble to correction. He tends to be hard to reach by email, but is more than willing to go the extra mile to help. If you need to meet him during his office hours, make an appointment. Awesome instructor!
He will go out of his way to make sure you understand
If you are not strong in math, take his class. No, the tests are not difficult at all unless of course you didnt study.
Excellent teacher.
Willing to work with students. Asks over and over again if you understood material. He will go over anything you may be confused about several times. He's funny, kind, and has an AWESOME mustache. If you're tired of teachers giving up on and talking down to their students, take Mr. Van Nice's classes!
Mr Van Nice is the type of instructor I wish all math professors were modelled after. He gives you ample time for reviews. His lectures are crystal clear. He does not talk down to the sutdents and will admit when he makes an error. Do the homework and listen in class and you will do fine.
I hate math, but after taking him I realized it wasn't so bad. He is the best math teacher I've ever had, and he is extremely helpful. He will sit with you until you understand.
It had been 20 yrs since my last math class. To say I was challenged would have been an understatement. Mr Van Nice was the best teacher I could have had. He spends time making sure you are utilizing all of the resources provided for you, his patience and commitment to teaching is commendable. I wish I needed more math classes! wait on this guy!
I hate math, he was the best teacher ever! Told you exactly what you needed to know, was extremely helpful & did whatever he could to make sure you passed. All you need to do is show up, do your "quizzes" & take the tests. Take a class with him!!
This Teacher is amazing!! He expalins everything to you and takes his time to make sure that everyone got what he's teaching. I love him!! I wish I could have him for all my courses! He doesn't use the book to much in class but does tell us to use it at home for extra pratice. I'm bad at math and I'm passing with an A!! I learned so much from him!!
Best math teacher I have ever had. Homework is online (about 3 sections per week--15 questions.)He goes over exactly what you need to know for tests, and will spend as much time as you need to understand material. He needs a pay raise for sure--best professor ever.
Excellent teacher. Explained things in way that actually made sense. Always knew what to expect from his tests. Will take again for Math 120.
Great teacher... The best for any type of math! Very helpful!
Amazing guy! I took him for MATH101 and MATH120. Attendance is not mandatory but he does give little nuggets of info that are helpful for upcoming tests. He will also figure in extra credit for you if you do faithfully attend class. He is always available for help and doesn't make you feel like you are bothering him. He was the best.
BEST TEACHER I HAVE EVER HAD!! He is an amazing teacher & will go the extra mile to help his students out in any way. Math has always been my worst subject but after taking his class I have hope to continue on the next level of math. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND him. I really benefited from his one on one group activities in class. GET HIM!
Best math teacher ever! I failed this class twice and finally passed it! He tells you exactly whats going to be on the test, gives extra credit for just going to class and doing homework. He also uses the final to replace your lowest test grade. He does everything to make sure you pass as long as you do your part by studying and attending class.
Before each test, he hands out a review sheet so you will know whats going to be on the test.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this teacher.. Very nice guy, helps you whenever you need it, plus tutors if needed. Explains thongs very clear, slow down if needed. Just all around amazing.
Great professor, explains everything so clearly. Probably one of the best professors at the school! If you struggle with math, this is the teacher you need because he will help you get through it!
Best teacher there is hands down. Down to earth and extremely helpful. I hate math and he made it an enjoyable class. If you have the chance take his class You won''t regret it.
I took a course years ago and was unaware of this site. That being said, I remember Kenneth. Kenneth, if you read these, you were one of the most competent and capable teachers of my college experience. God bless you for what you are doing for the world. Not only is he a stand up guy, he is a wonderful professor and deserves your up most respect.
Van Nice is one of the best math teachers I've ever had. I would definitely recommend him. His tests are not bad due to the fact that he gives great review sheets which he goes over the class before the test to let students know which problems to look out for. He's realistic, and understands students and their habits. He's an all around nice guy.
Funny and engaging. I haven't passed a Math course since 2005, and I have an A in this class. Outstanding teacher.
Very good teacher and actually cares about how you do in the class. I would recommend him to anyone!
Mr. Van Nice is awesome, I took him for math 101 and 120 I have never been a fan of math ,actually terrified and never got above a C. when I took his class , he made everything so clear. He's helpful, funny &, understanding . Long story short nothing but A's on exams . test reviews are the actual test, on test day. :) I highly recommend Mr. V !!
Mr. Van Nice is an awesome teacher!! I did not pass this class with another teacher and when I repeated it with him, I earned a B! He makes sure you understand the subject matter before moving on.
Took this class with my husband over the summer and I'm so looking forward to taking him again in the Fall for MAT102. This is no doubt the best professor I've ever had. If you are horrible at math, you need to get this professor- you will understand. I don't know what it is but he makes everything easy to understand. Highly recommend.
Mr Van Nice is a real BLESSING. He treats students fairly, he'll be there for you if you'll need help, he'll give bonus questions on the tests. I mean he does everything for the students to have a successful semester. I would highly recommend him. I wish my other instructors would be like him. Instructors like him are rare in our days.
Mr. Van Nice is BY FAR the best math professor I've ever had. I struggle with any level math class however, because of his clear direction and teaching ability I carried a straight A through calculus. I make sure that I refer Mr. Van Nice to anyone that needs to take calculus, and I couldn't be faster to sign up for his calc II class.
Mr. Van Nice is one of the most clear-cut instructors for Calculus II. He is there for you if you need help with any units in Calculus II. Gives great reviews for upcoming test days. Do the homework, pay attention in lecture, and you should get an A in this challenging Calculus course.
a great guy and better teacher
Best math teacher I have ever had.
Literally one of the best! I hated math and now I find it a piece of cake! he is a professor that will make sure everyone understands as much as possible!! All my scores as were 100/100
He is the best Math teacher I have had and I have had a bunch. Math is my least favorite subject and he made it fun. I struggled but he worked with me and got me through it. He is awesome
Mr. Van Nice is an awesome instructor. Attend class and you will pass. It is Trigonometry so it will require effort on your part. He is extremely fair and awards bonus points based on the amount of homework you complete.
Great teacher! very easy to follow difficult information. He teaches different methods if you don't understand one. I think he really needs to start a youtube video! That good!
Great Math Professor. Would definitely recomment to anyone. Took Calculus 2 with him and he made it enjoyable, even though Calc 2 was my least favorite (material wise) out of all the Math classes ive taken (up to Differential Equations). Great teacher!
Easily the best math professor i've ever had, if i still lived in Charleston I would take any and every class that he taught. He makes very difficult math fun and easy to understand. Im surprised he's not getting paid the big bucks at some big name university. Amazing Guy, and Fantastic teacher.
Van Nice is a great teacher to have if you struggle with Math. He is great and helps you to understand everything. He gives extra points for doing homework and if he sees you really trying he will help you with your grade. I am horrible at Math and I took him for Algebra and Probability and Statistics and I got an A in both. I was shocked. The Best
Really great with working and making sure you really get the material. Hands down the best math teach I've had !!
Mr. Van Nice is the best teacher I have ever had at trident tech! I have tried to take math with a couple of others and had to drop those. He provides extra detailed notes, encouraging speeches and gets right to the point of the lectures. He teaches the course clearly and answers all questions!
Mr. Van Nice is the coolest most laid back teacher i have had. he is also an amazing algebra teacher. If you absolutely suck at algebra look into his classes. he really knows how to break it down. He never makes someone feel dumb on unjust in their questions.
Mr. Van Nice is a great instructor. He actually teaches and not lecture. I took MAT102 with another instructor and dropped the class. I took it this past semester with Mr. Van Nice and passed with an A. He actually breaks down the material and makes sure you understand it.
Great teacher, probably the best at Trident. Really helped me understand the concepts.
Hes an amazing math teacher!! He makes math seem so easy and understandable . I suck at math , and I made all As on his tests and the final. He basically tells you whats on his test.
Words cannot express the gratitude I have for this man!! He has been my professor for all of the math courses I needed to complete my degree which, I passed every one with B or higher. Theres no way you can fail any of his classes unless you dont try. If math is your weaker subject, take Professor Van Nice! You wont regret it!
he's an amazing professor. I wish he could teach every class!
I had Prof Van Nice for inter. algebra and college algebra, he is a great teacher. Although I love math he made things easy to understand. I had him for maymester. He teaches old fashion so I didnt purchase the book for either class. He teaches his way and in a way you can understand and get it. If you have problems with math get him.
Prof VanNice rewrites the textbook, discarding the jargon that so easily confuses most of us. He speaks about each new concept in a math language everyone can understand. Hes a fair grader and provides all the tools you need on the first day to be successful. I truly can say he is THE BEST professor I have ever had throughout my education.
Kenneth Van-nice is a awesome instructor! By far the easiest math class I've taken. He is fair on all test, gives extra credit as well. He is very understanding if you don't understand certain material you go over in the class. He breaks it down "old school" and doesn't believe in showing you difficult ways to solve a math problem! I recommend him!
I will simply say that you CAN NOT go wrong with him as your math professor!! He is the kind of teacher that wants you to pass; if you have a question during a test; ask! If you need more help, ask! He always says, "The only difference between me and you, is that I have done this 30 years more. If I can do it, you can too."
One of a kind. There is truly no one quite like Mr. Van Nice. Favorite professor by far. I have been out of school for well over a decade and Math was never my strong suit. He breaks it down in a way you can understand and is always willing to extend any help that he can to ensure you succeed. He is a 12 out of 10.
Mr. Van Nice is such an amazing teacher. He's one of those few that really do care if you don't understand what's going on. He's available before class and will always answer any questions you have about hw or tests. He is easy to learn from in this fast forward class I am taking at Trident. Teachers like him make you want to show up for class.
I wished I had him for every math course I had to take the remainder of my college years
Mr. Van Nice is by far one of the best teachers I've ever had! He is very patient, engaging, encouraging, and by far a math genius! He can help anyone learn from any level of understanding. I haven't had math classes in at least 10 years and was feeling totally overwhelmed. I'm a slow learner and he taught each section until the class learned it.
Mr. Van Nice is the absolute best math teacher I have ever had. I have never done well in math, Mr. Van Nice explains the information in a way that makes it easy to understand. He is very kind, patient and understanding. This has been the first time in my life that I actually understood what I was doing in a math class.
Van Nice has been my best professor so far. Very clear teacher and really nice.
Mr. Van Nice has done so much to help me learn. He is the best! If you have trouble with math, my advice is to look for his class early. His classes are always full. Will take him again for my next math course. He does volunteer his time to tutor students in the math lab also if needed. Mr Van Nice is one of those teachers who wants to see you win!
I took this course already at another university but failed it due to lack of understanding, so I was really scared and doubting myself when I signed up to take it at another institution. But the first day of class gave me a lot of hope, and Mr Van Nice wants you to succeed, so I was always excited to attend class.
Before taking a class with Van Nice I thought no way he is a 5.0. Now I know why, this guy is a freaking unicorn! He is the best math teacher I have ever had. I wish I could have him for every higher level math class I need to take. Take Van Nice for any math class you can, you will not be disappointed. If you are it is a you problem.
He is absolutely amazing he breaks the material down for you. If you dont understand hell explain it in depth.
I took stats online and he was an awesome professor. Hes very clear on where your grade will come from. He offers weekly sessions to help with more direction. He allows full use of the calculator and his expectations are very reasonable
Mr. Van Nice is a nice teacher and i'm sure the pandemic has hindered the flow of his typical curriculum, but that isn't a good excuse to provide lackluster lectures. Many pre-recorded online lectures do provide instruction on all of the materials needed to do the homework and study for the test. I found myself having to teach myself a lot.
If you like to sit and stare at your computer wondering how they want the answer in the homework without any reference in his lecture then this is the class for you. Seriously, I don't know what he bases the lectures off of, because it sure isn't what you need to know for HW or tests. I have honestly never been more frustrated with a professor.
He is amazing. I got an A but I didn't think it was an easy A. He makes you want to learn. He knows the material can be difficult and he will work with you until you get it. It's impossible to fail his class unless you are just making no effort whatsoever.
I have had him for two separate math courses at TTC, and he has by far been my favorite professor. He is so caring and such a genuinely pure person and makes hard concepts easy. He is always there for help and has an old-school way of lecturing: just a marker and a whiteboard. It was alarming at first seeing no PowerPoints, but it works amazing.
Awesome prob and stats teacher. I had to go online this year and I've never had a more clear teacher. Math classes are really hit or miss but its all based on the teacher and he's great !
This teacher was absolutely phenomenal. I am terrible at math but he made the class feel incredibly easy. He has a clear love for his job and his students success, I could not recommend this professor more.
a good professor
He's a great teacher, but the lectures are really long. It's information overload. He paces well and he invites questions, but it's hard to retain information because there's no repetition so you don't get to practice. You learn how to do it and move on to the next thing, so it makes knowing everything hard.
