I thought Nolan Mitchell was a very dull and not-so-helpful teacher. I took calculus from him, and I did get an A, but he was definitely not my favorite teacher...I suppose take him if you have no other options and he's alright, but when I think back to Chemeketa, I don't remember him as a highlight at all

GREAT math teacher. He really knows the best way to teach mathematics: He lets you retake exams as many times as you need, that way you can go over everything until you truly understand it. Much better than giving you a test and just saying "too bad" if you do terrible. He does give a LOT of homework in the online course, but definitely worth it!

Nolan is a very nice, smart, "strictly-business" professor. He will NEVER, no matter the question, make you feel stupid. I don't know if he has a mean bone in his body. He encourages alternate ways to learn the material. He understands that most people aren't math wizards - although he is. He was almost always available to help outside of class.

This was a hybrid math class. He is a very good teacher, with a good way of explaining things. Tests are the worth the majority of the grade. One bad thing, after he goes through the slow steps of a problem you are learning, the next time he skips the slow, easy steps, which sometimes is what students need to see the most of.

I took the hybrid course. Math is not a subject I enjoy, nor is it something I'm particularly competent in. That being said, I DO NOT recommend taking a hybrid course if you struggle with math; you mostly self-teach. Nolan is very kind, very helpful, & very fair, however. If you would be fine in a hybrid math, he would be a great choice.

Mitchell takes a realistic approach to math. He does not expect one to memorize all formulas (like in real life when you can look things up) but rather seems to want students to understand how things work and how to apply that knowledge. He allows tests retakes so that students can show they've improved their knowledge. He's clearly passionate!

You can redo homework as many times as you want to get 100% and you can redo midterms as many times as well. The final is worth 50% of your grade but you can get 70points of extra credit. If you put in the effort you will pass.

This was a great class if you are not to good at math. If you study and do all your Homework you should easily be able to get a C or higher. I took Mth111 through his hybrid course and it wasnt to bad. The final worth 50% of your grade so study for that. I was stressed going into the final because I didnt know what to expected but I got a B on it

Not a fan of how he structures the class. There is a short video showing how to do some math and then a few questions to answer, then repeat. No textbook use really. Often times the videos don't cover everything and I have to go on youtube and find similar videos. Very time consuming. I would rather read the textbook and watch a lecture.

Do final review and final review homework and you will do GREAT on the final. I got 498/500 on the final. He also gives extra credit. Passed class with 1040/1000. A+

I had been dreading this class since math does not come naturally to me, but Prof. Mitchell is adept at explaining confusing concepts and is accessible via email and in-person. I enjoyed MyMathLab and felt prepared for exams. Get ahead on the homework so that you have ample time for concepts to sink in. Take advantage of the extra credit!

He is pretty lenient but his style of teaching didn't really help me much. I basically taught myself or watched videos on youtube. The videos that he includes with the homework usually is broken or has nothing to do with helping you the problem he wants to be solved. Just irritating, but the class itself wasn't hard.

He structures his class around student success, so your grade is whatever amount of effort you put in. Everything is open note, even the final.

Nolan was a great professor for the Math 111 Hybrid class. Participation in his lectures are not mandatory as all your homework is online and has simple videos. Only hard part was the final, it was written and you could use notes. Only reason I got a B in the class was for the final. Other than that, easy course.

Class was all online, minimal lectures. Mathlab allows numerous late passes, so you can put off some assignments and still get full credit. Beware of putting them off for too long. Tests were open book and Mathlab includes practice tests and additional instruction. Do the work and you will pass. Prof answers email/questions same or next day.
