If you are looking for a teacher you can relate to it isn't him. He doesn't give any feedback on rough drafts. So if you want feedback you have to ask, and even then he doesn't give much. Follow the APA and MLA format or you will fail your report. If you don't follow those formats then there is half your grade gone. Follow instructions!!!

He was an overall good professor, however, he has a propensity for changing the entire syllabus and reading assignments. Often times he would cut the time he had assigned us for our readings, (sometimes 60 pages to be read in 2 days) and then give us a quiz on the material as soon as the class would start. He's a tough grader, be prepared to write.

Professor Nusspickel is amazing. He starts the year asking what students want from him, and he sticks to it. He even brings in food for his classes pretty often. He understands that students are busy, so the end of his semester has less work than the beginning. Great class and great professor, Ive already taken two of his classes.

Professor Nusspickel is a great teacher! The guy teaches at 3 schools all while working on his PHD, and taking care of his family, but he still does a great job. He makes the discussions on readings interesting, and is always willing to read your papers and give feedback before you turn them in. Would definitely recommend him.

He seemed like a tough grader. I study and put in a lot of time and work on these assignments and yet all I get are B's on essays and writing discussions. His feedback is always extremely late, so by the time I know what he wants me to fix, I've already turned in other assignments. Also, very disorganized. I would not take him again.

He doesn't grade anything for the first 3-4 weeks. Which I found annoying. You have several discussion posts and if there is something you are doing incorrect, you have already submitted 2 or 3 without knowing, so you are docked points on each of them.

Best prof I have had at SPC. Breaks down each story and really explains what he is looking for in the essays. Takes time to provide helpful feedback and was always available outside of class.

He is a great professor. He is funny and makes the lecture interesting. I took both composition 1 and 2 with him and I would definitely recommend taking him.

Dr. Nusspickel is great. He was always available when I or my classmates had questions or concerns. Only online professor that I have had that would send out video overviews and never hesitated to hold virtual meetings with us. Those that say he's not responsive must not check their email.

After failing this class with another professor I took this professor after my friend recommended him. I wish I took him first. Very cary, helps answer questions and will take time to review your essay.
