Im a second year and have been lucky enough to have Nick two years in a row, both for a CAD course and Thermofluids. He's been the only lecturer I'v had that has actually made the lecture content engaging and interesting. Always asking the class questions but not putting pressure on singling anyone out. He always seems to come up with these interesting/ goofy analogies that just make so much sense and help you understand (who knew thinking about Potatos would help me so much in Thermo?). Thanks Nick you're a Legend!
