You know what is expected of you before the course even begins. He's very organized. Always start the class off with a chat about what's going on around the world. Very funny. Makes test taking a breeze (he tells you exactly what to focus on for exams). This class was great
Nick is a great instructor and is fantastic in front of the class. You won't be bored and you won't regret taking his class. I saw people who cried before presentations become some of the best speakers in class. I highly recommend you take any course you can with him.
My favourite prof at MSVU! The one class I get genuinely upset if I miss. Nick has great energy in the classroom and can maintain the attention of his student with his interesting course material. Nick is always prepared and engages with the class every single day. Highly recommend!
Highly intelligent, funny and engaging. Excellent and thorough coverage of the curriculum. Fair but challenging evaluation with clear and helpful feedback. Highly skilled at connecting course material to real world applications. Inclusive and encouraging. Works well with students of varied backgrounds and developing student/instructor rapport.
I had Nick for one of the core courses of my Master's Degree and I was scared because it was theory heavy. However, he made the class really enjoyable and fun to attend! He's easy to talk to, very approachable and gives excellent feedback. The course wasn't hard because it was very easy to pay attention to class and understand it. I recommend him!
First time with this Professor and I was a bit unsure. He is very personable, genuinely cares about his students, easy on the eyes lol and above all his lectures are engaging. Fair marker. What you put into the class is what you get for a mark. If you study, pay attention, do the work you will have no problems.
Absolute favourite Prof, I take as many classes as possible with Nick. He clearly cares about you and wants his students to succeed. Entertaining and engaging through lectures to keep things interesting! Great guy.
Nick is an incredible professor! He cares about the success of his students and is always available if you have any questions on class material. Nick engages his students with excellent slides and encourages them to share their thoughts on a variety of different issues. I would highly recommend Nick as a prof! #NickNeedsAFullTimePosition
Nick is one of the best professors at MSVU - hands down! He facilitates student engagement with ease and no one in his class is ever bored! I enjoyed each and every one of Nick's lectures. He prepares students for quizzes extremely well and he is super accommodating of all opinions and concerns. Take a class with Nick if you have the chance!
Nick is awesome! This course could have been so dry if it werent for him. So many thought provoking discussions and although there is a large syllabus packed with lots of assignments- he makes it easy. Hes open to extensions and is always available to help.
Nick is one of the best professors I've had during my time at MSVU. He is very understanding of any individual's issues (in class and out of class) and is easy to talk to and meet with outside of class. There are a lot of group projects, but if you have a good group it is manageable.
What a gem. Honestly if you are Communications or public relations student consider yourself lucky to have a professor that puts this much effort and enthusiasm into class. One of my favourite professors I've ever had
Great prof. Cares much about teaching. Very enthusiastic and works hard when teaching to make sure his students are grasping course materials. One of the best profs I had in my undergrad
Nick is great, you know exactly what you need to do to pass. This course had no tests, but the papers are intense (Group papers). Starts every day with what's going on in the world. Group led teaching every class (each group takes a turn leading, twice).
If you have the opportunity to take a class with Nick- you wont regret it! You can tell that he cares for every one of his students and is passionate about teaching! He loves facilitating in class discussions of current events and his classes are more than him just talking to himself :)
I absolutely love him! Ive already taken 3 classes with him and am looking to take more. He makes lectures as interesting and as engaging as possible. He is so nice and wants his students to succeed! You can tell how much effort he puts into teaching and its translates to a great relationship between students. Absolutely recommend!
Nick is an incredibly articulate professor. He is prepared every class to give his best and makes it clear to his students that he cares about how we do in the class. He is extremely enthusiastic, kind, and it is quite obvious that he loves his job. I would consider taking another class with Nick and am happy to recommend him as a professor.
One of the best profs I have ever had at the Mount. I would definitely take other courses from him. He made the information easy enough to understand, there was always good conversation in the class. Overall amazing!
professor deal is definitely a favourite of mine. he is very caring and easy to get along with. he is always so helpful and is very accessible outside of class, may it be for school related things or not. i recommend everybody takes a class with professor deal.
Nick is great- so helpful, motivational and makes class fun (even from home...)
Professor Deal is simply amazing. He goes straight to the point and you know what is expected of you. He gives great feedback that helps you do better the next time.
Nick is a excellent professor. The class was a late Sunday class which was not optimal but it was the only time. Nick made the class very enjoyable which made me excited for the class. There is a lot of work and trying to stay on top of things was hard at time but the class was still enjoyable despite that.
Nick is an excellent professor. I just began my Master's program this semester, and he's been a real treat. He makes our coursework interesting and does an excellent job of tying in real-world experiences to the material. He is hilarious and super easy going. I highly recommend him. I hope that I have the opportunity to have him teach me again!
Nick is a great professor. He always kicks off the class by talking about what's happening in the world. There's a lot of reading, but it's not too bad and is interesting content. He also gives you a lot of tips for quizzes and assignments. I highly recommend taking a class with him.
Nick's class was very engaging and I appreciated his openness to feedback. Overall a kind professor, I would recommend taking a class with him.
This is my second class with Nick and I am so happy that I was able to get into the class. This was my first graduate course with him so the course work was heavier this time around (to be expected) but thanks to a great team for my group projects and Nick being very helpful it was manageable. Have a good attitude and you will succeed in his class
Nick is a great prof and this class has been one of the most engaging classes I have taken. There is quite a bit of reading and many deliverables, including quizzes which require some preparation but Nick ensures students are prepared and is super understanding. I honestly have enjoyed this class and would definitely take another one with Nick!
Best professor so far at the Mount! Definitely would take him again. He was really accessible beyond class. Always reply to emails in a timely manner, like right away. Love him! Textbook recommended but if you pay attention and study his slides you are good to go. Also, he always gives reviews for the tests, study them and you will be fine.
Great in all aspects.
Nice professor. I liked him a lot. No regrets. He is mint. In-class feedback is different from on paper feedback.
Nick is a great professor, this was my first time in his class and it was amazing. I have learn so much. He is very passionate about his job, very respectful and a caring person. My favorite thing about him is, he is very understanding and gives good advice. If I had choice to do the course over I totally would.
I have been out of school for six years and I was super nervous to return but I've never felt so comfortable taking a class before. Nick is clear in his expectations of you as one of his students, and he takes the time to make sure you are where you need to be in his class. His lectures are fun and enthusiastic. 10/10 great prof!!!!
Nick is a fantastic teacher who inspires you to relax and to put your all into your work without the stress. Always replies fast even on weekends, faster than most text back i might add. Overall a good clear teacher who is obviously a great fit for the subject at hand
Nick was a fantastic professor and was always there when myself or my group had questions. The content of the course was very interesting, and everyone participated and could share their personal opinions without judgment. My group was also the BEST group I've had all of post-secondary. GREAT CLASS!
Nick is an amazing professor. He is very knowledgeable and very caring. You won't be disappointed taking his courses.
Professor Deal was an amazing Prof! I actually looked forward to logging into the lectures every week. Participation is manadatory and its a very engaging class. Overall it was a great semester!! Thanks so much Nick!
Nick is the best teacher I have ever had in my student career. The class is set up perfectly for the subject matter. It is discussion based and Nick does a great job of making students feel comfortable enough to actually discuss. You will have to present more than once, but you will never feel scrutinized or "wrong". A very supportive environment!
He is a great professor and keeps the class interesting and engaging. He is available to students when needed and always has great feedback on your work. I highly recommend taking a class with him!
Great professor! Classes were held in an open discussion format which allows for significant interaction without judgment. Expectations are realistic and attainable. He is passionate about the topics and expresses this in every class.
I throughouly enjoyed Nicks classes. He made every single class engaging for everyone. He made group work as painless as possible, and gave a good mixture of assignments. Pros- He's funny, he truly cares, he looks for feedback, and no textbook necessary Con- I only had him for one semester!
I was unsure about this class in the beginning but after the first class, I knew it would be a great term. The material was sensitive but he made the dialogue flow in a way that I knew it was safe for me to be open with my own opinions.
Nic is amazing ! the lectures so organized, engaging and he is such a genuine great guy. Take a class with him !!
Incredibly understanding, especially during the pandemic. No regrets!
Nick has the ability to make dry topics interesting! Overall he is a great prof ad I would recommend taking any of his classes!
What a genuinely kind person. University can add a lot of stress and pressure to one's year, but taking a class with Nick has been nothing but an enjoyable experience. He teaches in a manner that is pleasant to listen to and easy to absorb. He also makes it abundantly clear what his expectations are, and how to succeed with assignments.
A great professor.
An amazing lecturer!
This is the best course I have ever taken and the best lecturer. He explains things in such a way that even a child will understand. He's such a wonderful, easy going and intelligent professor. He's my best so far.
Amazing prof
Nick is an amazing prof who just loves teaching. As long as you show up and are present in the lectures, you'll get an A no problem. Nick is interested in what is on his students' minds and is always looking for opportunities to improve both the course as well as his own instructing skills.
Prof. Deal is great, knowledgeable, and supportive. HE is also able to hold your attention throughout the duration of the class.
One of the best profs. I've had since starting my undergrad journey.
He makes his class very interactive and interesting. One of my best classes in University!
He is great at keeping his lectures interesting
Thoroughly enjoyed this class !
Nick Deal is awesome! Super enthusiastic and passionate about HR! The course is super easy going and he ensures that class is never boring and the students are always engaged in lectures. If you get the chance to take a class with him, definitely do it! Note: look out for bolded terms/sentences in the PowerPoint lectures. Super helpful for quizzes
He is awesome. No doubt. Take his class.
Nick is an amazing prof, he is very enthusiastic and passionate about teaching the course! I've had him for two courses this semester and his personality and enthusiasm shined through in both classes. He made classes interactive, fun, and enjoyable. I looked forward to going to his classes and he made it so it didn't feel like a task or chore.
Engaging and accommodating!
A fun professor who enjoys his job and comes across that way. He is very nice and responsive with the class and is flexible with the work in order to ensure that everyone gets the material as intended. I enjoyed the class.

Nick is professional, open minded, and an asset to the MSVU business department. He makes the lecture material (even the dryest of it) engaging and easy to understand. All around great prof, genuinely wants to see students succeed. Would highly recommend taking his course(s) if you have the opportunity
The reason why I like Professor Nick is that his passion to help his student every time we were in the class he would always ask how we doing, if we're following the lesson or if there any question or problem. Also, he's quite a character his class are very entertaining.
Passionate about the subject matter and makes you care!
Nick is great, always open to help and super enthusiastic about Human Resources! I found the classes interesting and not too heavy in material.
Reading heavy class with great class discussions that emphasize course teachings.
Nick is a fantastic prof, and is very communicative about any concerns/challenges/interests students may have. He offers insightful advice, even when not pertaining to his specific domain (ie. other BUSI classes). He is cheerful, energetic, and has not yet been jaded by his years of teaching!
Amazing professor, the best one I have had since being at the mount. He really cares for his students and wants them to succeed while also keeping the course load light. Would 100% take another one of his classes.

Professor Deal has an obvious passion for HR and enthusiasm for the success of his students! I have not in the last decade encountered a professor with such a delightful energy. If you were indifferent about the material before his course, you'll be inspired by the end for sure!
Great teacher, very energetic !
Clear, concise and very informative, yet still manages to infect everyone around him with his positive energy. Nicest guy and best teacher anyone could have the pleasure of meeting
One of my favorite professor, great person. Wants to be there, wants to teach and make it worth your time and money. We need more profs like Nicholous Deal!
Nick is an amazing prof who clearly loves what he does. This is my second class with him and I would take another in a heartbeat! Lots of reading but he makes class fun with case discussions that are relevant to today's world. He provides great feedback on assignments and is a fast grader.
Nick is great! He's a fair marker and really passionate about the subject matter and his students. Beware of group projects, however, if that's not your thing.
Nick is a very entertaining prof. He keeps the material interesting and makes everyone feel welcome in entering the class discussion. He marks with kindness and is always available to answer questions. Opportunities for bonus points and extensions throughout the course if needed. He knows that life gets busy sometimes.
Great, friendly, approachable prof. Quizzes are frequent, difficult, and confusing. Very heavy on groupwork so if that is not your thing - be prepared. This course is more work intensive than other grad courses that I have done.
Nick is a great professor. He is very professional and experienced. The strategic management course is strongly recommended.
Nick is a fabulous professor and has such a clear and genuine passion for what he does. His balance of group work and individual work is perfect. I appreciated how we were able to use case studies to examine, in a classroom environment, real case studies we could be faced with in our careers. Hope to have him as a prof again!
Excellent teaching materials and discussions on assignments, very nice professor, WOULD TAKE WITH NICK AGAIN
Nick is a great prof! His lectures are engaging and he provides great feedback on all assignments. Major marks (aside from quizzes and discussion posts) come from group projects. Would definitely recommend and would take a class with him again.
Nick was great, kept things light and fun and made the learning material interesting. Would recommend.
In my opinion the best thing about Nick class is that you will analyze all the topics and teorías.
Nick is an amazing lecture that really engages students and helps us grow in our profession. Had lots of fun in his class and really learned a lot
Professor Deal is a wonderful instructor in that he truly wants you to learn and have fun doing so. He doesn't take himself too seriously and is very accessible. He is smart, well spoken and breaks down complex topics into digestible chunks. His course will make you sweat a bit but he's there to support you every step of the way. Loved it!
Great class interaction
Amazing teaching style, he knows how to carry everyone along.
Nick is a charismatic professor, his class is really entertaining. Even though is a theoretical course, it has a lot of study cases. He is always willing to help, gives you the facility to contact him by different means and responds very quickly. Nick motivates his students to develop critical thinking and he is respectful of everybody's opinion.
Best class ever
One of the best professors, really helpful and supportive. Has deep knowledge of what he teaches. He makes stuff easy-going and is always interactive in the class. The method he uses to teach is unique and worth applause.
Nick is the best professor I have ever had! Being an HR student he made me very excited for that career has to offer! Thanks for being the best!
Great teacher, very informed and enthusiastic. Willing to help students, and is very accessible.
He's such an amazing teacher! He always offer to help students and actually made me so interesting in Human Resource after this course!
Very encouraging individual and one of the classes that I looked forward to everyone week :)
Nick is an amazing prof. I had him a couple years back for business ethics, decided to take HR management with him also, same prof as I remember before. Lectures are always interesting and engaging, he's a very fair and understanding person. His expectations are never overly high. Easily one of, if not the best prof's at MSVU. Highly recommend!
Professor Deal is an Amazing Professor my favourite by far, this is the second course I have chosen to take from him and both where great, I would have taken more if I could.
Great Professor! You can tell he really loves what he does and that makes it easy to learn from him. Keeps you engaged during class and has an average amount of homework. Would definitely recommend taking his classes!
The engagement from prof Deal and his sens of humour makes his classes fun to attend. His fairness , understanding of student working FT, being in different time zone, his availability to assist and answer questions outside of class is awesome. I will for sure all the classes I can that he will teach that is part of my program. The BEST prof!
Definitely do not skip a chance to take a class with this prof! Nick keeps students engaged, clearly outlines his expectations and assignments, and will genuinely try his hardest to help all of his students succeed. He tries to incorporate unique testing techniques when he can and teaches in different ways than some profs.
I really enjoyed this class. Nick cares about making the class enjoyable. The assignments and the quizzes were not so complicated, they require an adequate review of the material, attending class and common sense. I would definitely take another course with him.
Very interactive class with entertaining teaching method can grab students attention, great prof.
He's a really good professor, had the opportunity to take Org. Behav with him in Winter 2022 online. Cool, respectful, focused, very communicative. Wasn't expecting much of the course because it was online but definitely will look forward to taking Org. Behav II with him.
Contagious enthousiasm! Loved his class - learned a lot and didn't have to stress about it.
Nick is an awesome prof! He makes Sunday evening classes really enjoyable. He uses a textbook but its online and there are quizzes for each module, but they're open note which is nice!
Very well-organized prof and class. Lectures/discussions were very engaging, never boring. Amount of work and reading was good.
Having Nick as a prof is a pleasure. He's totally accessible outside of class time. He cares for his students and is extremely knowledgeable. He's approachable about all matters and is really a class above the rest. (Excuse the pun.) If you have a chance to take a class with Nick, do yourself a favour and sign up!
Nick's classes are very engaging. He doesn't teach in a traditional lecture format. There's lots of discussion, breakout rooms, and learning teams in this course. The class assignments and readings were quite interesting and I thoroughly enjoyed this style of learning. Nick is also very helpful and gets back quickly with any questions.
Nick is highly accessible, professional and extremely knowledgeable. I look forward to attending his class each week and mourn when one has to be missed. His sense of humour is appreciated too!
Nicholous is a fantastic teacher! His enthusiasm is contagious and he makes you excited about the coursework and coming to class every week. He provides great feedback and is very helpful and quick to reply if you reach out with questions. I would definitely take a class with him again.
Nick is a great professor. I found him to be a pretty easy marker but the work load was high. There are quizzes which seem unnecessary and a lot of discussion posts that need to be made but overall it's a great course that's a lot of fun.
Interesting discussion. Delivery style keeps the class comfortable and engaged.
He’s amazing. His class is never a dull moment. He’s interesting and smart and intelligent
Nick is an amazing lecturer who presents his lectures in an interesting way and he is also excellent in carrying his students along. He is very practical which means the student will have to put it in the work. However, one would be able to apply the course to real life situations at the end of the day. He is also friendly and accessible.
Nick is a great professor, heavy workload which could be avoided but his classes were fun, hate that they were on Sunday though :(
I would highly recommend taking one of Professor Deal's classes, if you have the opportunity to do so! In fact, I wish I could take more of them. He is a wonderful teacher, who goes out of his way to make sure his students succeed and enjoy themselves while doing so. He is knowledgeable, approachable and funny. You will learn lots from him.
one of the best teaches that taught me. He makes the message of the work clear. Makes you want to come class and learn.
Great professor, I really enjoy his teaching style. He is very concise and forward in his teaching style, focusing more on ensuring that students are able to learn and understand the material. ,..............
The professor is very knowledgeable and helpful in this subject. I liked his classes very well.
Professor Nick Deal is a phenomenal lecturer! He is engaging with both the students and the material, and he provides real-life examples to help students connect with the material. Thanks for a fantastic semester, Professor Deal!
He is inspirational and connects each concept and theory to make sense to me. We need more professors like him that are invested in their students, excited to teach, are passionate about what they teach. Incredible professor.
he is very nice professor and never let you bore in the lecture
He is just amazing and friendly. Everyone should know that he is so polite nad helpful and always there for you whenever you need him.
Excellent PowerPoint's; they customize their slides which really helps the student understand what information they want you to know. Breaks down ideas into teachable sections that are easy to follow :)
Nick is almost too enthusiastic. Like it's great but a little off putting in the beginning. By the end of the course it is highly appreciated. He is open and fair. Easy to talk with. The course is a breeze, go to class, do the work, get an A+ kind of breeze. The quizzes are based on the slides and open book. Get ready to talk though.
Good, caring, friendly, interactive
Professor Deal is a great teacher! He makes sure all his students are engaged in the topics discussed during class and he also makes the class very entertaining which makes you want to come and learn the material! Very accommodating to his students and overall a lovely person to chat and connect with.
The course was engaging and the groupwork was excellent. The presentations were great.

awesome professor
This the best prof ever. he's caring and easy going
He is very sweet to students and help them understand the concept easily.
Best professor I have had, engages well with students, gives interesting lectures, always able to reach him outside of class. Kept the course interesting throughout the whole semester, and was always there to help when it was needed. You can tell he is a professor who truly cares for your education, loves his job and wants everyone to enjoy class.
As a student athlete, traveling across the Maritimes, Nick was very understanding of me having to miss classes and extend due dates. I really appreciated that. His classes are always upbeat, and he makes an effort to teach the curriculum enthusiastically!
good teacher
The best prof till now for my course
I felt his style was very interactive with the students and students wanted to interact online. The prof was funny and had an ability to relate to many. His lectures were clear and never boring.
Incredible prof, great class, lots of fun.
Nich is a phenomenal instructor with empathy and understanding. It was a good semester.
He is very good
He is amazing!!!
Nick stretched my creative and problem-solving abilities tho. really enjoyed the class.
Professor Deal is a relatable and respectful educator. He took a potentially dry topic and made it interesting, using case studies for practical application exercises that furthered my learning in the course. He encouraged discussion, which is beneficial for me as a learning tool, and was available outside of class readily. Highly recommend!
Nick was a great professor! It was my first course in the Master of PR program and he made it great. Was extremely helpful and you could tell he really cares about the success of his students. I found the material interesting and Nick taught it in a simple way which made tests and assignments that much easier. Thank you for a great semester, Nick!
Great professor. I love his classes and his great sense of humour.
He is one of the best professors to learn from. One would never regret taking a course with him. Every lecture is filled with inspiring and learning opportunities.

He makes sure to explain his slides clearly to the class and loves conversation. He draws everyones attention with his character and captivating with his speech. 100% recommend!
Best Professor, helped and was kind, i fell sick and easily got an extension and he was totally friendly and professional about it. Very good teaching style, easy and precise for what needs to be done. Easily understandable as well!
Nick feels comfortable teaching and seems to place himself as one of us.His classes are light and fun, there's a lot of interaction. There're always a few questions in the test that we wonder where they came from, but if you attend every class, take notes, and do your lectures, you'll get good grades. I'd definitely take another class with him!
Nick is my professor for the term. Lots of assignments to keep us busy but I do really enjoyed it at the end. I guess it was worth it
Nicholas Deal is a very good professor and carries the class along pretty well.
Nick is very engaging and genuinely cares about his students
He is a great teacher. Prepare for class and go through the readings to help you with the lecture discussions and quizes.
He is excellent and able to make the topic more understandable.
There will be fun, and good discussions, and you will leave the class with an in-depth understanding of the course and what is going around you in the world.
one of the best professors I've ever had! would love to take another course from him
Professor Deal is the best professor i've ever had! He is very engaging in class, is a good grader, cares a lot about his students, and makes learning fun.

Professor Nick's professional abilities are nothing short of remarkable. His teaching style is both dynamic and effective, captivating students' attention while ensuring the material is comprehensible. His knack for breaking down complex topics into easily digestible segments is truly commendable. I never saw as perfect Professor as Nick. Thanks.

He i good prof and have very good teaching skill and interesting ways to teach there students you would never skip his class if you went to his class once
Loved his teaching style. If you participated, it was so easy to get good marks. He's very aware of his presence and the difficulties students may face. His assignments were meaningful, but not difficult. One of the best group projects I've ever done. His entire personality is upbeat, and he makes the material easy to understand.
Super responsive and lots of feedback. Class overall was fun and would definitely take another one of his classes again!
One of the professor's remarkable strengths is their ability to break down complex concepts into easily digestible parts. The professor's approachability fosters a positive learning environment. Students feel comfortable seeking clarification and guidance both during and outside of class.
He is the best as he will take time for each and every student and his students are not his students after the course completion they are his colleague.
This professor is awesome. I recommend others to choose him .
BEST PROFESSOR EVER!!!!!!!!!!!
Professor Nicholous are great speaker and you will learn a lot with him, and he also chill and essay when it comes to extension and time, but I didn't like the Quizzes it was a lot and some question were hard also its one time attempt, another thing isn't good he doesn't give you a reason why he gave you a B or C on your assignment.
Nick is an AMAZING professor. His lectures are extremely interesting and actually make learning fun. His relatable and caring approach creates a positive learning environment that I look forward to every week. His tech savvy teaching style and sense of humour adds to the overall experience. Would take every class from him if I could!
Professor Deal is always positive and has a clear structure in place for the course. He encourages participation and facilitates that process. Course material is excellent.
This professor is excellent at engaging students in lectures, as individuals who need to do a lot of reading, and in multiple group projects. He is engaging, funny and professional and very knowledgeable. He works hard to be available and to interact with students in class and when help is needed. I would love to take more courses with Nich.
Great prof!!
The professor is a professional at his job. He is interactive with his students, starts the day-class by warming everyone up about events happening around the world, to discussing about our quizzes, the weather in Halifax then the topic for the day. I think this is important because it gets us warmed up for the class. He respects his students also
Professor Nicholous is a very considerate person. He will give positive feedback to the emails sent to him by students and his lectures are very humorous and interesting. I am very happy to take his class.
Exceptional, knowledgeable, engaging, invested...there's nothing Nick doesn't bring to the classroom experience. He simplifies complex topics. He makes the mundane interesting. He extends himself beyond the boundaries of the classroom.His passion and enthusiasm inspired my decision to pursue graduate studies. He certainly didn't miss his calling!
One of the best profesor, I had at MSVU.
Great prof! Always fun in his lectures and super supportive. Would recommend!
awesome professor, fun classes and less workload
- Genuinely cares about the success of his students - Provides every opportunity to help student succeed - Provides interesting, humorous lectures that keeps the students engaged in the material
amazing Teacher, and was my favorite professor by far. He provided us with many opportunities to ensure good grades and always had a positive outlook in class. the course work load was nothing out of the usual and I enjoyed that he encouraged interaction within the class. I wish all professors took as much pride in their work as he did.
Great atmosphere, did not feel nervous once and is super interesting and engaging!
Nick is a great professor. Very willing to help students with anything they need, and very warm and reassuring. There is no feeling dumb in his class which is always welcome.
I love the way he teaches; so respectful and so kind.
Was one of the best!
Great teacher!
The professor makes the class fun and engaging for students! I have a significant time change and he allowed me to watch the recordings of the class the following day.
Hes great
Nick is one of the most thrilling, engaging professors I have ever had. It is apparent that he wants his students to do well; he explains the material in an easy to comprehend manner and seeks feedback from his students throughout the sessions. Nick is always available for consultation, and quick to offer feedback.
Nick is Awesome, he helped me whenever needed. He gave me best options for pursuing CPHR and I am looking forward for it. Thank you Nick!
great teacher, would have him teach all my classes if I could
Nick is extremely supportive and understanding. His lectures are always interesting and engaging.
Absolutely amazing professor. Always had a fun attitude and genuinely cares about his students' success. Favorite professor I've had while at MSVU and the material was presented in a very interesting and engaging way. He checked in and provided help with group work to make sure we were on the right track. I 100000% recommend this instructor.
Nick is a gem of a professor. Keeps topics moving but ensures that students grasp the concept, and relates to them on a personal level. Group work & participation is heavily encouraged. Awesome semester with one of the best!
Very great prof, interesting course!
Great at keeping students engaged during class, has a good use of case studies and sets aside class time to do them. And most importantly, no final exam. Fantastic professor.
Nick is awesome, understanding, and open to discussions. I loved having him as a professor! I would take one of his classes again in a heart beat.
Amazing professor. 10/10 recommend.
Best prof at MSVU hands down! Wish I could have him for all my courses. He genuinely cares about his students and their success, not only in his class but outside of class as well. Definitely recommend taking a class with him if you are able to!
Professinal
Great professor. Always involved with student group projects. Too many readings and tests. Test questions and overall language might be too advanced for international students.
Nicholas is an amazing lecturer, very detailed in ensuring each students has an awesome learning experience while taking the course.
He gives quite a lot of quizzes throughout the semester about some things we haven't studied or mastered quite yet.
Engaging!
Nick is a kind person who clearly demonstrates his passion for course content and his eagerness to see students succeed. He is willing to meet you halfway if you need anything. Small con: I think this is common for academics, but Nick loves to celebrate his own achievements. This can be a bit cringey, but if you can get past it, he's a good prof!
Great professor
Nickolas was one of the best remote professors I have learned from. He was well prepared, considered multiple learning styles, and was respectful and caring to his students.
Nick is very engaging and is an awesome prof.
Nich will be always my favorite professor. The way he teaches and interacts with the class, its mind blowing and super fun. He is a very understanding and caring, every time i faced and problem or asked Nich for suggestions/advices, he was always there. If only there was for people like Nich, the world would be a much better place.
Nick's courses are always engaging! The right amount of challenge to make you think critically, interesting class discussion, and assignments that help you see the practical application of the material.
Very professional, caring and empathetic would 100% take another class from him.
Best Professor I have had easily. He cares a lot about students' learning, is a more than fair marker, classes are always interesting and he is always accessible. Classes are focused on individual modules with cases + quizzes for each and generally a term group project towards the end. Very helpful and you actually learn applicable information!
Nic is sweet and at the same time professional in teaching. He even sent an mail to thanks us on Thanksgiving day!
I appreciate how informal he is, yet professional. He was lenient in the right ways- empathetic and would make visible effort to help you succeed but was not a pushover. He wants to see his students succeed and presentations are very realistic making the content relatable. All content was relevant to the course outcomes. He's a great motivator.
Nicholous is a great professor that knows the topic. I loved his enthusiasm and the way he encouraged class discussion. He also made suggestions on other courses to take for those that may be going down the path of Human Resources. I felt as if he was truly interested in my success in the class and this is important to me.
Nick displayed his enthusiasm for teaching throughout the course which encouraged students to participate and attend class. Kept class interesting and fun!
BEST PROFESSOR, DO NOT MISS THE CHANCE TO TAKE COURSE WITH HIM.
He is a great teacher. He makes learning fun and easy. He explains hard stuff in a simple way, so we all get it. He really cares about us doing well, and I'm happy I get to learn from him.
This professor is the one of the most engaging, entertaining, honest, and caring professors I have ever had. He takes time to engage with each student, listens to questions attentively, gives honest feedback, and is overall a great person. Attending his class would be the highlight of my day. 10/10 would take a thousand times over.
He is Professor who is ready to help his student succeed and gives room for participation
Nick was a great professor! I took GPRL 6302, Strategic Management with him. I don't get why so many people say his course is easy. I would say its a fair course! He was quick to respond to emails and a great support with any issues.
Overall, it was a fairly easy class, as long as you completed the assignments and paid attention to deadlines. There were lots of group work, lengthier than usual writing assignments, and quizzes.
Nick, is great. He brings a lot of energy to online classes and i like his dad jokes.
Great professor, very easygoing, always open for questions. A lot of after class self study though, but the slides are always clear and professor is always there to help.
Great prof! Will be taking his classes again!
Nick is very personable when it comes to his teaching. He genuinely cares about his work and students, promptly gives feedback, and is a very fair grader. If you have the opportunity to take a course he is instructing, definitely do so!
extremely understanding prof! one of the best i've had!
Great professor, very nice
The best professor ever
The professor is very kind and energetic, always eager to help students with their problems. He is an excellent professor.
Like his teaching style.
I will seek out classes from Nick in the future! He was relatable, understanding, funny and connects the learning to real life examples. Great professor and will gladly take another course soon!
I thoroughly enjoyed class with Prof. Deal. his lectures are extremely engaging and well taught, and the material in the course is enjoyable, yet challenging in all the right ways to promote student thought and growth. definitely take this course with Prof. Deal if you can!
HIGHLY reccommend taking this prof if you have the chance even if you aren't a business student. Lectures are very engaging, interesting, and informative (coming from someone with a low attention span i loved and also needed this) making it alot easier for me to grasp concepts. Overall one of my favourite profs, couldn't speak more highly of him.
Engaging, enthusiastic and encouraging!
Very good professor where is the deep knowledge in the field he teach us, he has a good passion on the education area, with the hep from professor I lean so much more that the book, and gain a new understanding of the lectures. Highly recommend his course your will have an excellent experience.
The teacher has an unparalleled charisma that makes it easy to feel comfortable listening to lectures, making presentations and paying attention in class.
Dr. Deal is an incredible professor. He has a million degrees and qualifications and it shows, he is extremely intelligent. He is passionate about the subjects that he teaches and inspires his students to be as well. He cares deeply about his students and want them to do their very best in his classes.
He is one of the best professors I ever had. The course material was very easy and informative and the professor himself was very helpful. :)
Professor Nicholous Deal is very kind hearted person and his teaching skills are very good. He is very helpful moreover in future I want professor like him.
the best prof ever very kind hearted very understanding and always ready to help
Professor Deal is fantastic - engaging, helpful, and passionate about the subject. The course material is manageable, and his feedback is prompt. I found unstuckstudy ai really useful for practice quizzes alongside the textbook. Definitely recommend this class!
Best Teacher
Nick was a very engaging professor. Always tried to keep the class engaged. I loved the class discussions and enjoyed the case study on Black Beard and Costco. Those were interesting and fun.
As an instructor, Nick goes above and beyond. He is passionate about his material which is seen in his teaching. He engages with the class and appreciates discussions. He is available to students at any time for a quick talk or for questions. I can't say enough about how much I enjoyed class with Nick. It was a highlight of my classes each week.
It doesn't get any better than Nick's class, every single class was amazing, great person inside and outside of school. Best of my wishes to him.
He is perfectly handcrafted to be a professor. Genuinely wants to see his students succeed. Lectures are also very engaging (so rare to find profs like this). Also… been dealing with horrible mental health (which uni has not helped) and just wanna say… he's really the only thing that gave me hope and made me believe I'm good at something :')
This professor is amazing at all times and I am glad that I had this professor in my course. He draws attention of students toward him while teaching with hilarious stories and his teaching style is perfect!
Nick is truly exceptional. What sets him apart is his dedication to student success. If you ever get a chance to take a class with him, don't hesitate — you'll walk away not only smarter, but more inspired. 10/10!
He is very prompt and fair with grading while providing excellent feedback.
he is very nice and kind
The best professor ever, highly recommend his classes.
one of the strongest professors I have ever been taught by. He makes class feel worthwhile despite class time ending at 1015pm
really good professor
Professor Nick was great! He was very engaging with the class. I enjoyed all of his lessons, course work and online classes. I would highly recommend Professor Nick and would also take his classes in the future.
Nick seems to very much enjoy working with students and navigating the course materials with them. He works hard to make it interesting and engaging. Lots of small grade-load assignments make for an easy workload with less stress to manage, since it is evenly distributed throughout the term.
The professor is very engaging, understanding, and always ready to help!
Nick is an amazing professor. He is always ready to help, super engaging, and makes long classes easy to listen to. would definitely recommend.
This is my first term at a Canadian university and professor Nick honestly made it such a fun enjoyable experience. He is great at connecting with students throughout the class, leaving room open for discussions and comments and makes sure the lectures are fun, interactive and not boring! I had a great time in his class!
This guy is great.
Learning with Professor Nick has been an unforgettable journey. His encouragement and the fun, engaging material not only helped me earn a perfect grade, but—more importantly—helped me grow in confidence.
The professor is really nice, he doesn't give us heavy pressure. His class is humorous, I like the atmosphere on the class.
Nick is lovely. He cares and wants you to do well. He reminds me of Phil Dunphy from Modern Family. Just very kind dad joke energy. Definitely recommend.
Nicholous Deal was an outstanding professor. His lectures were engaging, clear, and easy to follow, making learning fun and class discussions welcoming. Organized and approachable, he answered questions even outside class. Highly recommend. I would take his courses again in a heartbeat.
Nick is an excellent professor. He makes complex material clear, engaging, and genuinely enjoyable to learn. The course is demanding, but everything is purposeful and well structured. One of the best instructors I've had— highly recommend.
Super fun and engaging lectures!
