Avoid him like the plague. He constantly spazzes out and tries to make a fool out of students. Forget about going to his office hours because you will walk out feeling worthless. Not nice at all. There are many great and helpful math professors at CRC and Nelsenador is not one of them.

Very bad professor. I was absolutely afraid of approaching him. For the whole semester, I just relied on another CRC professor, Mark Hunter for help. Nelsenador is so bad that I'm purposely waiting for Hunter to teach Calculus again instead of taking it with Nelsenador. Advice for Nelsenador: Try and be nice for a change. It really helps.

terrible. everyone dropped like flies.

I took this class over the summer and it was not very enjoyable. Not many people are still in the class. He is not a very nice person and likes to embarass his students if they are unable to understand the material. He might possibly want to work on his social skills. If there was a zero, that is what I would rate him. Hes not a very good teacher.

he is an awful teacher

Horrible teacher, embarasses his students when they do something wrong. Never take his class. half the class dropped, and some of my frends that stuck in it barely passed or failed. He is very annoying and is just a horrible guy. I asked a simple question, i admit it was dumb, but he embarrassed me and put me on the spot

No Comments

he talks down to you like you're an infant. maybe it's because he has young children at home. i feel sorry for them. why does he act that way? why? because he's a very bad person. i literally cried when i stepped out of his "office." yeah, his office is basically a park bench somewhere on campus. maybe it's the dreaded Napolean Complex.

He is not to be a teacher. If he wants to be a teacher, he needs to make some major changes on the way he approaches the students. He knows math, but knows it to himself. Lack communication skills and this makes it hard to approach. He is rude and makes math more difficult. Advise: Teach Simple first then hard stuff. Sorry Matt...

just run away

he is a****ty teacher!!!!!!!!!! dont take him.. or ull regret it!!!!

DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT HIM!!! IT'S A WAIST OF TIME. Normally A students were not passing this class, myself included. HE'S ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE.

This dude is crazy! I swear, he's the type of guy that gives instructors a bad name. It's a shame because I did well in his class but without any confidence. He constantly berates you and always has this scowl on his face. He would be better suited in a job that doesn't require any human interaction. Other teachers aren't too fond of him either.

worst teacher ever!

SAY NO ON TAKING HIM!

Not even a teacher. I had to meet with the dean regarding this teacher, he failed the ENTIRE CLASS! I regret ever stepping foot in his clas.. He should not have a job!

Teacher sucks cannot teach class started with 50 ppl and adding down to 20. talks in circles, leaves class randomly twice if not more idk for wat long bathroom breaks. spends alot of time answering 1 question and then rushes through the important parts of lesson. Not HELPFUL at all. Makes stupid jokes trys to be funny but its not working. And BIAS

Teacher is bias makes exceptions for some and not others. Not prepared reads from book and teaches on the spot and we all see that. not a good trig teacher unless you already know math and are super smart dont take him.

i frerakin hated him! i got a f in his class and he is very rude and got on my last nerve he definatlt tries to embarrass u and always writes rude comments on your quizzes even if u get 100 percent DONT TAKE HIM

He is very mean! questions asked in class are not answered and he makes rude comments that make you feel inferior. he writes stupid notes on your tests and quizes that are degrading. He has no set grading policy on homework, projects, or tests. he gives you a grade based upon your likeness level. officehours are usless to attend. DONT TAKE CLASS

RUN AWAY ... i Choose to get a W on my transcript rather then get an F ... i Failed two test and walked out on the third after he wrote an insulting comment on my homework.. i am a good student i passed the previous classes with and A and a B and then i was failing his which made no sense .. just dont take him .. i gave him a chance and it didnt wo

He's the worst teacher i've ever met in my life. He's the most unfair grader on tests that it's ridiculous. Does not help at all, is so egotistical and rude its crazy. Talks down on students, i just don't get why he's still has a job. If all your students are failing, stop trying to teach. Don't even consider his class. WORST TEACHER!!

Hi I put my heart out in this class because math has never been a strong point of mine. He is the most useless, unhelpful, creepy jerk of a professor I have ever had. Do not take his class because unless your a pretty girl or just a favorite in general you prob will only pass with a C because he makes it impossible to do otherwise.

Please do not waste your time with this guy. only if your a hot chick! does not help. he does make you feel like your nothing

How did he get accepted into teaching at any institution...I would say he's not a professor and should be on a different website, like one called Rate My Waste of Time

Do not pick him! Hw is assigned but only picks 8 out of approximately 60 problems to grade and is not worth a lot of points. Not all hw material are based on the test and he grades VERY harsh! MORE than half the class dropped. Instead of dropping or failing, I prefer you do not take his class!

not even going to bother with novel-length explanation.close the tab and look for a different teacher. if theres no teacher, change your major or drop out of school. move to a different town....dont take him!

Teacher acts as if you don't know anything. Cannot teach and doesn't explain things properly.

just don't take him. you will regret it extremely, even if you are a 4.0 student or just ok, you will regret him as your teacher

Horrible Teacher. I get a B in organic chemistry but a C in Statistics? I worked my butt off for a C and Im not a lazy student.Dont take him as a teacher you will regret it!! I know I did!!

This professor doesn't have a good grasp of his subject. He spent a lot of class time looking through the book for definitions and answers. He is unfriendly during office hours and yelled at a classmate for having an incorrect answer in her notes. (He had written the wrong answer on the board)

He was the most horrible teacher. I never looked foward to his classes. He's such a bore. His test were much harder than his examples, which is not fair to the students. I would never recommend taking his class. Dont make that mistake!!

This guy is the absolute WORST professor ihave ever had in my entire life. His homework does not match up with his lectures, he is extremely unclear on what he wants on the tests, and he is highly unorganized. Pleaaaaase do not take this teacher. No one should ever have to endure the pain and agony he causes. He is absolutely abysmal.

A terrible teacher, if you are considering taking his class i would strongly advise against it. You will only hurt yourself. His exams are tough, he will test you on material that he addresses for 5 mins and never brings up again, and he really does not care about students or their grades. If you want to learn a subject he isn't the right teacher.

Do not take this professor. Within 2 months everyone in my class had dropped out. THe teaching methods do not match the book and he is very picky. Even though it's a math class he expects you to always have correct grammer. One apostrophe off and he will deduct you points.

Stats is already a difficult class but this guy makes in harder because of his personality. He is extremely rude and will make you look stupid in front of everyone if you dont ask the right question. He grades really strict. If I would have known about rate my professor before hand, I would not have taken him. More than half of the class dropped.

The tests did not cover what was presented during lecture. Only a couple of people passed this class, literally only a couple. Avoid taking this class with him at all costs, even if this is the only class available. I am a student who passes with a B average, and I failed because of the group projects and misleading tests.

There are not enough words in the English language to describe what an awful professor this guy is. If Math is not your thing then avoid this guy and for the love of God take somebody else! His lectures, his tests, even his group projects (yes, he assigns group projects) didn't make any sense. He's just a flat out bad teacher with a bad attitude.

so far this is the worst professor i have taken. When you don't understand something and ask questions he makes look you dumb in front the class. One time a he called on a student to answer a question and he didn't really understood it and the professor was like " Are you freaking kidding me." throws a little fit. Why is this still teaching?

He should honestly quit teaching. Just horrible. HE tries to tell stories and is horrible.

Throughout the semester he isolated us, made sure we felt stupid every time we asked questions, and docked our grades any chance he could get for the most trivial reasons. He is completely unwilling to work with students and seems to get pleasure out of our failure. The class began with 33 students and only 8 or 9 of us took the final.

I would like to mention something brief and important for Professor Nelsenador to fully understand why behavior and attitude against us students matters throughout the mathematics learning experience classroom lecture sessions! Trust me I truly do mean it by honest maddened heart! Let me ask my questions about homework and study for successPLEASE!

Gives homework for each relevant lessen that is covered. Overly enthusiastic about the subject, which is good. Feels the need to belittle students who are new to Calculus. Understands the subject very well. Can help you before class. Kindly writes students homework questions on the white board. Yourself Matt.

Don't take his class if you don't want to drop

Don't take his class in the summer if you want to have a good grade. He taught a lot of limit if you take Cal 1. His lectures were boring.

I might be loosing my 4.0 gpa because of this professor! This is my worst decision so far as a student. Please if you value the quality of education you get, do not pick this professor! I feel so unfortunate to have be in his class, his lectures are horrible! Yet he gives the toughest tests as though his goal failing us all. Its so sad!!!

He has absolutely no respect for his students and is frequently trying making them feel stupid whenever they have a question. He told half my class to drop his class and to take basic arithmetic. Calls people out during class for minor things to humiliate them. On top of that he teaches the subject poorly because thinks you should already know it.

Probably one of the worst math teachers I've had so far. I had to stop myself from crying in his class a few times due to the difficulty of his tests. The quizzes and homework do not prepare you for the tests, even though he assigns a lot of homework problems. He usually puts topics we've only discussed for 5 minutes.

I can't believe I signed up to take this class with a highly rated professor then on the first day our section was shocked to see that we got this professor. With no other choices I had to stay in the class, he does NOT upload to canvas at all and is very rude. I would absolutely not take this class unless you absolutely have to. :( very sad

This guy if you have good math skill just take it,He is humorous and clever but not duty to answer your question if you are preparation, get c also ok, Ibut get a is a difficulty ,that like make more tricks in quiz,exams ,(quiz will everyday and tri,)if he catches your mistake,(draw pictures ,if you forget ,you might get a 0 whole question

tries to fit 4+ chapters into 1 lecture and gives HW and test problems on chapters we didnt go over, throws tantrums and will embarrass you, does math in his head, a lot of HW every week with no consideration for your other classes, no feedback on HW, will make you feel bad for getting something wrong, I DONT RECOMMEND!!

DO NOT TAKE THIS PROF!! doesn't care for his students, lectures have no explanation, had to learn by myself most the time. confused about the lesson? tough luck type of teacher makes students feel less than and can't be reached outside of class. Coming from a software engineer that excels in math this course is nearly impossible to pass DON'T TAKE!

He is a good man, but I don't recommend his course. His lecture's were difficult to follow, and many students had to study on their own because of how nonsensical his explanations and equations' seemed. Even the hard working student's received subpar grades. Many students' dropped the class because the tough grading and unrealistic expectations.

Communicating with him is difficult; his replies often make me feel inferior. He gives daily quizzes (except exam days) and weekly homework with 50+ questions. He uses his site, not Canvas, and doesn't post notes or recordings, so missing a lecture means falling behind with no way to catch up. His lectures also do not help with quizzes or exams.

This professor loves math, but unfortunately, they lack the teaching skills to effectively convey it. I wouldn't recommend this class to anyone and would not take it again.
