Best math class I've taken so far. It's a shame he left.

Review for 33B: Great teacher who really cared. Best professor I've had in the lower division math series!

Thank you Nickolas!! :-)

I despise math, but despite my poor grade in this class and my dislike for its content, I think Andersen was a really good lecturer and professor. He was very clear in all his lectures and tried to be funny, and his lectures ended up being much more useful than I expected. His exams are somewhat difficult, but have little unexpected content. I felt that I got out of this class about as much as I put into it, which is reasonable.

Professor Andersen was a really good lecturer. He was clear with his lessons and material, and explained the concepts really well. He was also pretty humorous and kept what would have been a very monotonous fifty minutes of class quite enjoyable. However, his homework problems tend to be rather challenging, which can be good preparation for the exams, but will take up quite a bit of time each week. He sets exams that are fair and relatively manageable, but because the curve is really steep and there are multiple choice questions with quite a few marks assigned to them, getting a grade within the A range can be quite difficult.

This is for Math132. He is definitely not the best one but he is very clear. Although he made mistakes during lecture and sometime ran over stuff without fully explaining it, he is very helpful during office hour. He knows how to explain stuff and that's what you need from a professor. Also, his tests are really reasonable compared to my other upper division classes, I can say that it is one of the easy upper division you should take. Easy doesn't mean free A though, you still have to work hard to get what you want, just not as hard. I totally recommend him to anyone.

Andersen was really engaging and helpful during lectures! Definitely would recommend

Professor Andersen was absolutely amazing! He took his time explaining concepts and took as many questions as we needed to be able to understand a topic. He was also very funny and made lots of jokes which made an 8am calc class seem bearable. The textbook was definitely needed, as it explained the concepts very simply and the homework was all based on the book. His discussion worksheets are difficult, but the format of the section made it so we had lots of help to be able to figure them out. Make sure you understand them though because one worksheet question appears on every test! Overall, Professor Andersen was amazing and I would love to take another class with him while studying here.

He is such an AMAZING professor. He is clear and understanding if there is any confusion as he is lecturing. Nick is also pretty chill and engaging during his lectures. He will often times ask if anyone has any questions and will wait an awkward amount of time to continue, but it's funny. One thing to point out is he has 2 grading methods and honestly those are a grade changer. I struggled so much in this class but in the end, I passed. He is the professor you want to take for the 31B course!
P.S There is only so much he can lecture in the given amount of time, but he tries to get as much done as possible, as clearly as possible. Just be aware that you will have to put in some time of your own.

Professor Andersen is an amazing professor. He's helpful, clear, fair, checks all the boxes you would want in a teacher. His lectures are a perfect balance between introduction to the material and example problems. This would be enough by itself, but he goes above and beyond, administrating a website through Piazza where he posts weekly assignments and suggested textbook readings/practice problems etc. This is already more than enough, but he goes even further and gives detailed descriptions of what will be covered on exams and then posts a comprehensive list of about 50 problems for each midterm and the final, and also includes a full length practice exam from previous years so you don't even need to make the trip to the SAC. All of this is way more than one can expect from their professor, but he outdoes himself yet again with his mind-bogglingly fast grading schedule. He graded both midterms within around 7 hours of them being handed in. He graded the final 6 and a half hours after it was turned in. To top it all off, he's just a genuinely funny and nice guy and I would absolutely recommend him. If you can take his class - do it. An A or A+ is well within reach for anyone willing to put in a very reasonable amount of work (no more than an hour a day or 2 hours a day closer to exams). Thank you Prof!
