he's rad!

Seth keeps things simple. I wholeheartedly recommend him. Its like having a friend teach you. If you go to his office hours, he is very helpful.

very laid back and super easy to talk to. it's like having your buddy teach you. he's very helpful, esp during office hours. he's pretty detail oriented and can be a stickler about docking points for little mistakes, but what math teacher isn't? i highly recommend this guy.

Seth Nuckolls is an amazing professor. I am horrible at understanding math, and I always left his lectures with a good understanding of the concepts. He is open to meeting with students during office hours. The homework isn't ever super long, and he answers homework questions the next day. Overall, I'm SO thankful he was my math proff!

seth is great. easy class, too. just do the homework. going to isnt even necessary. just read the book, ask him questions if you have any and he will do a great job of explaining it. very laid back. one of the easiest classes i've taken at western

Seth is awesome! He is really helpful and if you don't understand something in class he makes plenty of time to see you. He is super clear about what he expects and he gives you a study guide before each test with review questions. I'm definitely not a math person but he made it really easy for me to understand.

I am terrible at math, but he is my favorite professor so far, is very enthusiastic and will answer even the dumbest questions clearly and help you understand it without making you feel dumb. I really can't think of a better way to teach of subject like math a better way than he does.

This class seemed a little fast paced at first but it turned out to be not bad. Seth had very good ways to explain if someone was not able to understand right away!

Seth does a great job teaching. Come to class everyday and you will have no problem getting a good grade is this class. It feels like your friend is teaching you. Ladies, his amazing hotness will make you love this class even more than you already will!

Overall, Seth is a great prof. He is really organized and knows what he is talking about. He explains things really well and grades pretty fair. If you can take him!

Seth is one of the most fair, helpful professors i've had so far. There are 5 exams.. he doesn't curve but he gives a lot of partial credit. lectures were a little rushed because the class period is only an hour, but he tries to make it as easy/clear as possible. i'd recommend him!

I am horrible at math but this class ended up not being anywhere as bad as I imagined. Seth made the class so much easier just because of how he taught the class. He is by far one of the best professors I have had so far, I would highly recommend taking any math class from him!

Wow Seth made this class a lot easier than most teachers would have made it to be. I would definitely take another math class from him. He tries to make sure that everyone understands the subject. His tests are really fair giving lots of partial credit so. Just don't say 'Sure" in his class.

Seth is great at giving clear explanations in his lectures and is always willing to give extra help when needed. I also felt that his tests were mostly straightforward and not too difficult if you attend class and understand the material.

Seth is a good teacher, although it is very easy to fall asleep to his lectures. He explains concepts very well, and will help you if help is needed. His tests are watered down a bit. He just cares about the concepts you learn. Again, he is highly recommended if you have trouble getting through math.

Seth is an awesome prof. I am not a huge fan o math, but he made the concepts very clear and was happy to help during office hours. I would definitely take a class from him if you have the chance

Seth seems very excited about teaching and he really knows his stuff. He has a relatively quick pace but will slow down if you ask him to. Also, he focuses ALOT on the overall concept, so homework can be confusing at times when he only did one example in class.

I HATE math. That said, Math was very bearable this quarter cause of Seth. A few more examples would've been nice, but he was fairly easily to understand, prepared, flexible. He tries to relate the material to real life, which us GUR-getters appreciate. If I had to take another math course, for some reason, I'd want it to be with Seth.

Great teacher, very clear and therefore easy to understand. Fair test grading and passionate about his subject. Would take again if possible, I wish he wasn't leaving!

Seth is such a hottie! I DEFINITELY recommend visiting him during his office hours. Am I right ladies? Also, he is a very good teacher.

okay so in general I HATE math, and Math 112 with Seth was the bomb! I have never had a good math teacher and never had anything explained to me. He is so nice and very helpful, i got everything in this class and if you do need help, he goes through everything thoroughly during office hours...hands down the best most awesome math teacher i ever h

I was lucky enough to have Seth for 124 and 125. He is a very clear and enthusiastic teacher. He is good about going over trouble problems in class from the homework and often lets us keep our assignments an extra day. He is in tune to the understanding level of the class and always available to help. Also hes funny! Great teacher!!

granted, I had taken calculus in high school, precalc was mostly a more in-depth review for me. Seth was one of the best math teachers i've had, he gave good clear examples, and answered questions from students thoroughly. The tests were very fair, just be sure to come to/pay attention in class, and do the homework.

Math 114 is an awfully hard course, but Seth makes it fun and easier to understand. He's great at giving clear, slow-paced lectures and is always available for extra help and wants his students to do well. Super funny prof. Will go over answers to homework on the board in class at will and assignments are due 2 days after day assigned. Great prof.

Although 114 is not an easy course, Seth makes it as clear and straightforward as possible. He is very helpful and welcomes students to ask questions in class and during office hours. He takes a few homework questions before each class. Like any 50 minute math class, the lectures are fast-paced, but the information is graspable.

Seth is an amazing teacher!! He made math interesting with different example problems (political, ethical, etc) and kept it fun. I can't wait to take another class from him! The class wasn't too hard, just do the homework, show up and ask questions when you need help. He is completely willing to help in any way he can.

SETH IS THE BEST MATH TEACHER EVER. End of story. He is so nice and so there for help. His lectures are simple and clear, never covering too much material at a time. This is all coming from a person who loathed math in high school. Take him if you get a chance!

Seth taught our math 99 class and trust me it was hard. You had to work for grade every bit through the course and now that I'm taking my next math class, it all was all for the best. Seth is very smart, nice, try's to be funny, and is always there for help. I'll give him about an 8/10

His style didn't work for me.It was a little too scattered. I tried everything to pass this class but nothing worked. Seth's office hours weren't super helpful for me but he did try to be available. It was frustrating when he told me I was wasting my time spending hours in the tutoring center. Overall, he wasn't right for me.

Seth is awesome! I hated math in high school and never saw any progress and was constantly a C student. After taking a gap year in math I thought I'd have a tought time, but in his class, I saw myself gradually improving. Definitely recommend him.

This class was difficult, but still manageable. I really like his teaching style; he goes at a swift, yet reasonable pace and answers students' questions to the best of his ability. Had I attended the class more regularly and done all the assignments I would have received a better grade in this class.

Seth is a great math teacher, and this is coming from someone who hates math. He wants you to succeed, and will always answer your questions. But the course is very difficult, I worked hours a day, and still received a D. Go to class every day to prevent falling behind. But he's a very fair grader.

Seth's class is great if you're actually interested in learning, not just getting a good grade. His lectures are clear and understandable, but tests are generally harder than what was seen in homework or lectures. He focuses heavily on the overall concepts, so the tests force you to think outside the box. That being said, I learned a ton.

Seth is a GREAT teacher. He is very helpful in his office hours. In class he really goes over the concepts well, and explains them very clearly. Yes, he does go pretty fast in lecture, so you do have to keep up a little, but me being a math minded person, wasn't too hard at all.

Great teacher. The material is explained very well in a way that's easy to understand. He explains the intuition behind all the concepts as well. Definitely the best math teacher I have had.

Nuckolls is probably the raddest teacher I've had. His lectures are fantastic, and although he never smiles, he's hilarious. Made calculus so much better.

Best math professor I've ever had. He is exceptionally well-prepared for class, and heavily emphasizes the logical consistency behind the ideas he is teaching. It sometimes feels more like a philosophy class than a math class. Lots of homework, but not unnecessarily so. It's fast paced, you learn a lot, and he's worth taking whenever possible.

Really difficult class already, but Seth moves even faster than the other 118 classes. He's good at explaining things but he goes over them very quickly and you will be expected to know them by the next class.

I can sincerely say that Seth's classes have been the best math courses I've taken in college. The lectures are fun and fast-paced, the tests are fair (although difficult), and he tells great stories. The course is hard but trust me, it is 100% worth the effort. Take Seth's class if you have the opportunity you won't regret it!

Made his lectures super clear which was necessary because he's a tough grader with a tough subject. By attending almost every class and doing every hw assignment I was able to do well in this class. He goes through most problems in class step-by-step and as long as you payed attention you could keep up.

Seth is a good professor. We did have one test with a very low average which made it easy to get frustrated with him but at the end of the day he's always willing to help. His tests are tough but if you conceptually understand the material you'll be fine. The take home quizzes help clarify things a lot and will save your grade if you fail a test.

I have mixed feelings for Seth. As a person, I really like him. He's very helpful and cares. Very visual teaching style. I'm a quick learner with math, but I had a hard time in this class. He often jumped all over the board and did overly complicated examples instead of explaining the basics. Excessive homework and difficult tests.

He is very clear and easy to understand. Super helpful. 1010!!! Sometimes he spends too much time on one topic which makes class go by slower, but I guess its just for clarity and understanding. Go to class, it's only 50 minutes, and you're paying for it!

Seth is great. I'm not great at algebra and he made it easy to understand. His lectures are really clear and makes sure that nobody has questions before he moves on to the next question. I want him to teach all my math classes forever. Make sure you do every homework and go to class every day!

Super nice guy who is very passionate about math as a whole subject, but his teaching style just didn't work well for me. He oftentimes over-complicated subjects and wasn't always clear on what we needed to understand. Always answers questions asked in class and very helpful at office hours, fast test grader as well.

Very passionate about math and extremely knowledgeable. Has a unique way of presenting topics that keeps me engaged. If you put in the effort he will go to bat for you. I have been to his office hours and he is always very helpful. He offers points back on tests, usually 10% of the total score. He truly wants his students to succeed. 1010!

Seth is great! He's pretty chill and funny. I've had him twice now, I like his teaching style. He is super helpful only you if ask for it, and if you go to his office hours. Take good notes, a lot of his test questions come from there. He does talk pretty fast though.

Good and helpful. Tests can be tough but he lets you re-answer one of the questions which is very helpful.

Cool dude, he makes everything applicable. Must read your book and doesnt make it easy but the homework is spot on with the exams.

Very helpful when you go in to his office hours. There is homework every night, but is only graded on whether you did it or not. Tests are hard but directly relate to all the homework so it's helpful to do the homework every night. Very fair and clear in direction and expectation. The course is difficult but he gives you what you need to pass.

Seth was an awesome professor! The class material was difficult but he made it a lot more tolerable. Always knew what he was talking about and rarely ever made a mistake during lecture.

Math 115 is a very hard class, that being said I think Seth does a really great job of teaching the material. His lectures were always clear and concise. If you go to class everyday and do the homework, you should be fine.

This was my second time taking Math 114 and I definitely prefer Seth over my previous professor. There's homework due every day and a couple of exams (the exam with the lowest grade is dropped).

Really good at teaching math, great at answering questions, explains how the math works.

Seth is a great professor. His class (Integral Calc) was also the hardest class I've ever taken. He will test on the more theoretical/graphical side of the content, which was difficult for me in the beginning. His tests are extremely challenging, but he does provide everything in his lectures and in his chapter goals that you need to succeed.

Seth is a great teacher, but you have to put in some work to know what he expects. He puts learning goals on canvas, and if you check yourself against those it really helps. Most of the grade comes from the tests though so be prepared for them. He was accessible a lot out of class in the form of office hours so definitely go if your having trouble.

Seth was good at explaining all the concepts. The exams covered concepts from the homework, so do the homework and the exams will be easy. He also drops the lowest exam grade and does test corrections. Overall, a pretty standard math class.

MATH 204 is the beginning advance math where you learn less about calculation and more about explaination and proof. Seth did a really good job at explaining in the lecture, but his exam is pretty random. You should learn about each chapter before coming to class. Also, your grade depends on exams and final and these weight alot.

I took Math 125 with Seth in 2017 and Highly recommend him! I have struggled with math classes my whole life, this will be the first Math class I have passed on the first try and it is all thanks to Seth's visual lecture style. Also really makes it a point to show just enough back round knowledge so you can understand what is happening.

Seth is a good guy, but he makes you work for your grade. If you spend an average of two hours a night on the material you will do fine. He expects you to pick up the material quickly - there is a lot to learn. Keep practicing and you'll do fine.

Math 124 is a hard class, if you don't apply yourself you're not going to do well no matter who your professor is. Seth's lectures are easy to understand and is great at answering questions. Come to class and keep up on your HW and you'll be fine! His exams are tough but the problems are almost identical to what he does in class.

Statistically, 1 out of every 10 people in the class will fail. Seth knows this and does his best to help, but in the end, its up to you. Show up to class daily and do the homework, it's not that tricky. Tests are based around homework questions, and the lowest score is dropped. I got an F the 1st time through and an A the 2nd, don't be me.

Great guy, great teacher.

Seth is really good at giving multiple examples of a concept and describing it in different ways. Other math teachers I've had don't describe why they're doing a certain process, but Seth makes sure that you understand each step of a math concept.

If you're stressing about finding a good math teacher, taking Seth is a great choice. He just wasn't the teacher for me. I work best when we can talk in groups about what we just learned, and a classroom with high energy. This is a calm, focused learning environment that just didnt work for me. Very lecture heavy. but hes super nice and accessible

Prof Nuckolls was the best Prof I've had at Western in terms of preparation for more advanced classes. Though his tests are difficult, I feel the course prepared me for harder classes down the line. He has good accessibility outside of class and the pacing of the course felt just right. Great teacher, but get ready to work if you want an A.

The hardest class I've taken so far, but I can't recommend this class enough if you're heading into a stem major. Nuckoll's tests may have made me cry nearly every time, but I feel extremely confident after taking his 124/125 classes.

Professor Nuckolls is a very kind and caring professor. Yes, there is quite a bit of homework but he is very easily accessible and never makes you feel bad for not understanding something. He also has test corrections which can bump up exam scores and drops your lowest exam grade.

Professor Nuckolls is a good teacher, he is nice, and he grades fairly. Calculus is challenging though, I had to go above and beyond on my own time to succeed in his class. The material on homework and exams often far exceed what is covered during lecture.

He is a great lecturer, and makes difficult concepts simple and easy to understand. He is very nice, and always responds if you need help on difficult concepts. His class has a nice routine.

Great structure, clear and concise. Seth always seems so calm and very thoughtful in explaining things. I don't know how he stays so calm when people struggle with basic algebra (like exponent rules and reading graphs) in a Multivariable Calculus class. It must be very frustrating. That's why I couldn't be a math teacher. Seth is great at it.

Seth really cares about his students and their understanding, and takes the time to answer their questions and make them clear. His 224 is a difficult class but he is fair with the grading and willing to adjust it according to how the students are doing. He is quite accessible during office hours and, answers emails pretty fast. Would take again.

Overall good teacher and I understand all the main points of the course, I also took him for 125. There is daily homework although it's only worth 10% of your grade, he does take the "you should expect 2 hours of work each day outside of class" seriously. He was very helpful and wants his students to do well. The class average for the final was 68%

cool guy, assigns way too much homework though. homework isn't hard just rather tedious. if you're going to take a course from him make sure your other classes aren't homework heavy.

Homework every day average of about 1-3 hours. Before lecture he goes over hw q's and literally just gives you free answers to the hw. Hw graded on completion. Drops 5 hw grades. Exams and final were difficult but he gives 10 points test corrections on first 2 exams then 5 point test corrections on last 3 exams. Great lecture and also big heart

Seth does a really good job at teaching Calculus. I was worried going into his class as this was a new concept for me but the way he teaches math is very graspable and understandable. Your grade in the class is very heavily weighted on exams but he allows for test corrections which were really useful at raising your score and actually learning.

Seth is a great professor. I see a lot of complaints on here how the tests don't have homework related questions on them. Just because the questions aren't EXACTLY the same as the homework doesn't mean they aren't related. He expects you to know the material. You do that by showing up to class, participating and doing homework. Stop being lazy.

A lot of people either love or hate Seth, but he is incredible! You can tell he is passionate about mathematics and really cares to make sure you understand the material. Super accessible outside of class in his office hours and over email.

Nuckolls is one of the best math professors I have ever had. He is very good at explaining the material and answering questions. The only negative aspect is if you miss class you will fall behind and there is a decent amount of homework. There was also test corrections that earned you a letter grade higher.

I was a bit nervous going into MATH 125 with Prof. Nuckolls because of some of the negative reviews on here, but he is one of the best math professors I've ever had. He goes slower during lectures to make sure that everyone is grasping material, and he is very accessible when you need help or if you're struggling! The homework is also very helpful!

Seth was an absolutely phenomenal professor. Can throw down a sick beat too. His 224 class was not too hard, just a good amount of homework

I loved Seth! I took him for 124 and 125. he gives homework every day. everything that is in the HW he talks about in class, and everything on the tests is in the HW. He is super accessible both via email and through office hours. His lectures are incredible and super clear. Work hard and you shouldn't have an issue in his classes.

Very great lectures. He is hilarious and puts everything into terms easy to understand. There is a lot of work, but if you stay on top of things you'll learn a lot. He has test corrections for every test that get back a full letter grade and the lowest exam is dropped

Sooo accessible outside of class, will respond to your emails quick & late into the day. I had a small emergency come up 10 minutes before an exam, ran up to his office, & he just said go! I was able to take that exam later that day with no issues. Quick grading, HW based on completion, test corrections, lowest exam dropped, great guy overall!

Seth's lectures are engaging and he explains concepts clearly. The workload is heavy, but if you stay on top of the material and utilize study tools like Unstuckstudy, you'll learn a lot. Definitely attend class - Seth's tests are tough but the corrections really help.

Very kind and straightforward with lectures. Daily homework gets tough, but manageable. Requires test corrections for everyone which helps boost your grade no matter what.

Seth is an amazing prof, uses a lot of time in class to teach how the math works! Very kind inside and outside of class, will respond to emails and questions past midnight! Homework is graded on completion and tests have test corrections that can boost your final test grade 10%. Heavy on test and lecture, super chill, will be taking 224 with him!

Seth was a great professor. A funny guy who takes the time to create a genuine understanding of the content rather than memorization or formulas. Homework almost every night, tests are not very easy.

I really liked this course and gained a great understanding just by attending lectures. Textbook is not needed if you go to class. Nightly homeworks don't take very long and are very helpful for practicing the material. Test corrections can give your grade a big boost.

Seth is great at lecturing, an extremely difficult class, tests are often more about your fundamental understanding of material rather than problem solving. Homework every night that took 3+ hours and not a fantastic study guide for tests but whatever. Came out of this class with a C+, but I can solve any integral haha. Tread lightly choosing this.

Very good professor. Funny and knew how to break concepts down to make you understand. Always answered + encouraged emails outside of class for questions. Test corrections will save you for the test scores, so always do 100% on those. Highly recommend!

Seth teaches a hard section of M224 but is a great professor. Heavily graded on tests but is very forgiving, partial credit matters! Super easy to reach during office hours and over email, he will respond late at night. The beginning of the class is hard so expect to put a couple hours into the class per day! Ask questions and you'll do great!

Great teacher. Test corrections are super helpful and the homework is helpful on the exams. Go to class or you will be very confused.

Seth is an amazing professor! Loved his lectures; it definitely shows that he cares about your success and learning. I will say, even if you really know your stuff, you will probably still have to spend at least an hour on homework every day (which really is not that bad once you're in the class).

Bro is actually so funny but not in the way that distracts From the learning just a little quip to keep attention up mid lecture. made math fun and makes you want to get better.

I had roughly 2 hours of homework every night for this course, but it was super helpful. Just because the content is hard doesn't mean it's the professor's fault! You can email him at any time of day with homework questions and he will respond 10-20 minutes later, even late at night. It's obvious he cares for students and helps however he can.
