Probably the best professor to take the course with, since despite the curriculum being overwhelmingly forced on the class to receive abet accreditation, Nick is a dynamic professor who is good at engaging with the class and rarely makes the 75 minute class feel that long. The class content is almost strictly busy work and it pays to look ahead at what is needed for your CEC at the start of the semester as this is the largest time sink and source of frustration for the class. Be prepared to do a LOT of work in this class and attendance is structured around a grading contract, so skipping class must be "strategic" and is usually not an option. Try to have fun since you'll be taking it as a degree requirement anyways. |

He is a great professor. He knows a lot about the content, and the classes are composed of lectures where he often interacts with the class or makes jokes. After the lectures, there would usually be a group debate or activity. There were weekly discussion posts and the major points in the class came from 2 smaller papers and a midterm paper. The midterm also involved a historical game/simulation. All in all, it was a really informative class that wasn't too hard, and he is very knowledgeable and fun to be around. |

Great professor for Med History. Super caring, flexible, and relatable as a teacher. Not a strict grader, if you write a good essay you will get a good grade. Same for discussions. |

This class sucks but its mandatory and Professor Misukanis made it so much more tolerable. Even though there is so much busy work with exit and entry tickets twice a week he had no exams or midterms. We call him Dripsukanis the way he always dripped out too. |

Misukanis is the goat. He makes an otherwise annoying class bearable with great lectures that are entertaining. He is clearly passionate and keeps the class engaging. Also the best dressed Professor at UMD. |

Nicholas is a great professor which makes the class at least somewhat interesting. He is very high energy and keeps class engaging with interesting stories. However, this class is a ridiculous amount of work for 3 credits. It is more work each week than any of my other classes and has 3 days a week of 1 hour 15 minutes of class time and is composed entirely of busy work. Don't take this class if you don't need it for your major. |

Very nice, passionate, and funny professor; however, this class gave so much work like more than any of my other classes. Discussion is also a huge pain with an hour of random activities and having discussion circles. I wouldn't take this class if you don't have to. |

He is a great lecturer, even with how terrible the class content is, and a funny guy who acts like he cares about the content and about his students. He could be disorganized at times, which frustrated me since he would say we were going to do things that we didn't end up doing or would skip instructions in activities. He doesn't care if you do your homework in class as long as you vaguely participate. The content sucks, but a lot of the parts that suck are ABET required so it's not his fault. It feels like a portal back in time to elementary school because of all of the ridiculous 'role play' exercises and 'interactive' assignments that felt like they were created to make hyperactive 6 year olds learn that being mean to people is bad. I like ethics, so this is a class I would have really enjoyed if it weren't painfully stupid. |

This class is the definition of busy work with little to no learning. Engineering ethics is a class that has the potential to being a meaningful and interesting class, but that isn't the case. The work isn't hard, but takes a while to do. Nick is a decent professor who makes the class somewhat interesting, but I was doing the bare minimum as much as I could. |

Ethics as a topic is usually incredibly pandering, boring, and ticking boxes of “don’t kill people”. However, Nick is my favorite teacher that I’ve ever had. Nick single handily made this class enjoyable and I’m not sure I would have kept my sanity throughout. Nicks care and diligence to teaching us about case studies drastically improved my learning experience. Sincerely cannot say enough good things about Nick and his teaching style. |

Nick is awesome. He genuinely wants the best for his students, and strives to form individual connections with all his students. Also he's just such a flexible and reasonable guy. |

Nick is easily the best professor I've taken! He's so kind and considerate of the class and the workload, offered deadline changes and was open to adjusting the syllabus as needed. Nick's a great lecturer when we got to do that, but 208 only does that for a few weeks, so I wanted to have more. When it came to the history research he was incredibly supportive at every step of the process from the idea stage/brainstorming, finding sources, and developing all the way into refining the argument, peer edits and final touches. Also an easy grader if you put in the effort. Really approachable, likable, good sense of humor and always checking in and offering help. The class made me feel choosing to major in history was the absolute correct choice. I totally recommend taking him if possible! |
