Select Student Comments from Syracuse University:

• "Nick is fantastic, whenever I didn’t understand the content from lecture, he went through it and it made sense. He was incredible and really helped me make sense of statistics. I definitely would have done a lot worse in this class if I didn’t have this recitation."

• "Professor Nick was a top tier TA. He answered every question and gave good examples to practice with during recitation periods. He was also quick to respond to emails asked outside of class time."

• "The TA was extremely knowledgeable and always willing to help students. He always came to class with a plan and written out notes for the class period. The quizzes were fair and never on topics we hadn’t covered in lecture/recitation. The TA was extremely helpful."

• "Nick was accommodating of questions and extremely thorough in his explanations. I left class with a far better understanding of material that I had struggled with."

• "I really like Nick. He really helped make difficult concepts clearer for me. He is very easy to understand and works thru example problems with us so we have enough practice with the concepts. I’m thankful for Nick."

• "NG is a great professor and gives students the best chance at success. I was afraid to take calculus but he broke it down in a way that allowed me to fele comfortable and tackle the subject head on."

• "Super helpful! Open to questions and actually approachable."

• "Very well prepared and enthusiastic."
