ditto

ditto. study like a madman and you can get an A--averages on tests are about a 65 but he grades on a curve.

awesome teacher!knows a lot&knows how to teach.you have to take a lot of good notes in this class&attend it regularly unless you've got a friend who can get you class notes.If you want to know about earthquakes etc. this prof. will teach you a lot.

i agree! awesome teacher! He knows how to make you interested in class! Very interesting material! You'll learn so much in his class!

great guy with great sense of humor. difficult class

The prof is hard but he's entertianing and does demonstrations for the class.If yoou actually study a little you'll do well.

His tests and quizzes are really difficult, but this was still the most interesting class I took at Loyola. If you are more interested in learning than getting a good grade, then take this class

The class was kinda hard (weekly short answer quizzes and essays on all tests) but I think you could do worse for core physics credit. I never did any of the reading, but if you want to do that, you need to go to class and take good notes.

a great astronomy course. the quiz/exam questions came directly from lecture. There's a lot covered in detail but as long as you can memorize specific information you'll do fine. you needed like an 85% for an A. not a gimme but totally worth the effort.

METEOROLOGY: He's hilarious. I think he eased up a little. He grades hard but drops the two lowest quizzes so that helps a lot. I liked him. The class is useful. He teaches the class keeping in mind that not everyone is a science major.

Hard grader, but very cool. If your willing to work, he can teach you alot. Lectures are excellent, and he is very funny. Great person, tough professor. Take him if you like a challenge. Getting an A is hard, but far from impossible.

It is easy to do well in this class if you go, take good notes, and study them ALL for the tests. The tests are long and mostly essay, but they are fair. He's a nice guy, very helpful and understanding of different situations. Good curve too.

This man is a very educated professor, but has a difficult time relating to his students. His lectures are entertaining, yet the exams are quite difficult. He expects answers to be exact--yet they aren't impossible. Not an easy A, but you'll learn.

Meh. The guy is histerical in some of things he does but if you ask me, on tests and quizzes he honestly asks for too much. The tiniest, smallest mistake in an answer will cause him to rip it apart. Pretty much the only downside.

i don't know what all of you are talking about because he is my favorite teacher at loyola so far. he keeps it interesting and although the tests and quizzes are hard, he is fair and you actually learn something.

He is a really good teacher, sometimes his lectures are a little boring but he makes the class fun with his examples. He also gives a major curve so you will most defintely pass with a B or C TAKE THE CLASS!!

I also do not know what the other people are talking about. He is one of my favorite professors at Loyola. His lectures are like an older relative telling an extremely interesting story. If you think he is too hard you then you really shouldn't be in college because you're a retard.

Nackoney is an awesome professor. Ofcourse physics is hard, however he is always willing to help students. Grades consist of quizes (about once a week)(15%), 2 exams (20%-25%), and a comprehensive final (40%. Take him!

He is a very good teacher and provides good examples. And it is really easy to get an A. You dont even have to study, except for the final, which isnt bad.

Take his class, "if you wish." It's interesting, yet, sometimes it can get a tad complex- not hard just complex. Just study class notes throughly and it'll be all good.

I counted he said "if you wish" 17 times in one class

This guy's funny and really nice. If you go to the class and take notes off the board, you probably won't ever even have to crack the textbook.

The subject is hard, but he does a good job of teaching. Just know his lectures and repeat them on the tests, its not that hard.

The material is hard, but he does a good job in teaching it. Just repeat his lectures on the tests and quizes for a good grade.

Great teacher, really knows a lot...Typical grader, u gotta take good notes and read them over...overall good guy and great fun class, i cant wait to take him next semester later everyone and GO BEARS!

A 1.9 for easiness? C'mon, I know he's kind of nitpicky, but he grades on a HUGE curve. Go to class, take notes, and you'll be fine.

People have been saying that it's a hard class. It's not too hard if you take good notes. The lectures can be boring sometimes, and he can go off talking to himself arguing with himself. He has a great sense of humor, and really knows the material. I would definitely take him again.

Very intelligent teacher. The tests are graded very hard but he has huge curves. Go to class and take notes. He outlines everything for you. Quizzes weekly. Overall, kind of difficult to get a good grade. Take it if you are interested in astronomy

Great teacher! He is hilarious. He makes an otherwise dry subject interesting and challanging.

Great professor. He's very clear about the information covered in class and to what detail he wants you to understand it. He presents everything very well and explains it even better. I've taken him for two diff Nat Sci classes and I learned so much in both of them. However, you will have to work hard, but it's worth the extra work.

He explains things really well. Quiz every week worth 15% of your grade. Two tests...one 20% and other 25% and a 40% cumulative final. His tests/quizzes are all short answer/essay with some fill in the blank. He is really specific on grading. Don't take him if you don't like to take notes. Classes are solely lectures and tests are directly from not

Firstly, don't waste your money on the textbook for this class because you will NEVER use it. Attendence isn't mandatory but his lectures are VERY important and you won't pass if you don't go. Usually has a quiz on Fridays that can be graded very harshly but he's very interesting and very funny in class.

completely disregard harsh comments previous to this. Nackoney is so enthusiastic about his class, he brings in examples to not only tell you but SHOW you what things are. he tells stories and funny jokes. Take notes and its a great class. he's really nice and always offers help if needed. its not an easy A but you have to be really mental to fail

This is a great teacher, he is extremely smart and is able to teach the class with clarity. I think the reason why people do not like this teacher is because they were expecting an easy A, something they didnt need to work for, so of course they did poorly. Go to class, take good notes, and study those for the exams, youll pass with flying colors

He was a good teacher, and had a huge curve. He grades tough and we never used the book. It wasn't an easy class, but it was not extremely difficult. He was pretty organized and seemed very knowledgeable about earth science. His tests and quizzes are hard, but as I said there's a pretty big curve. Good class overall :)

VERY HARD! I studied my butt off and only got a A-. He expects you to explain everything he says in class on the tests/quizzes. You don't really need to read the book, but taking good notes is a much. Interesting subject and he is a nice guy, but an extremely difficult class.

The class is not as hard as everyone says. Tests and quizzes based on CLASS NOTES ONLY. Please do not buy the book, because the book does not word things the way he wants his answers to be worded. Ya, the class averages may be 50-60%, but at the end, he curves to the point that a 55% turns into the average grade.If you get above 70%, you're fine

Dr. Nackoney is a really nice guy. he's always avail. for help whenever you need it. quiz every week, graded 1-10, 5/6=C, 7=B, 8-10=A. about 10 quizzes total, TWO are dropped. 2 tests and a final. final cumulative, but easier than the tests. he's not as bad as people say. study notes almost word for word. quizzes are main concepts. curve BIG in en

I've taken a few of his classes for core and they're all very detailed lectures that you MUST attend to take notes. If you just memorize the notes and spit them back to him on the tests, you'll get no lower than a B+. No homework, just weekly quizzes that he curves like crazy. Just memorize the notes and you'll be fine. He's funny as hell too.

Dr. Nackoney is one of the greatest professors I have had. He is an extremely intelligent man who knows how to teach. If all professors were like him - students would be getting their money?s worth.

Ok. Dr Nackoney is not an EASY professor, but that doesnt mean he isnt a good professor. If you want a blow-off class, then dont take it. To those who dont think he is helpful, you havent asked. He is a great professor who cares about his students- pull your weight and you wont have a reason to complain.

Everyone in my class loved him. He's really funny and very helpful if you ask him questions. For NTSC 113, he has weekly quizzes...They're annoying because he asks broad questions and looks for specific answers but they're helpful when you're trying to boost your grade up (it's better than having 3 tests).
