Thank you Professor, I am very appreciative of you and all the other professors who are supportive of their students and who truly care for their students. Thank you for making my educational experience abroad successful and preparing me for my future academic career. I wish you the best and hopefully I’ll see you around Tech sometime. (2022c)

Thank you, Professor Nico, for teaching this class. It was delightful, fun and an excellent learning experience. Being a novice in the field of acoustics, I would say that I learned a lot from your classes . And, whatever few personal interactions we had, they were memorable. Waking up at 7:00 for this class was totally worth it. (2022e)

I hope you are currently enjoying your well-deserved time offline and are able to make the most of this time with your family and loved ones. I must say I thoroughly enjoyed your class and having you as a professor. Even though your class was not easy, I know that I learned a lot this semester while traveling and you were instrumental in that, so I must thank you so much for everything you did to make this summer an enjoyable and memorable experience. This semester was my most interactive semester yet since being at Georgia Tech, mostly due to the easing of COVID restrictions and the smaller class size in GTL. Thus, I felt that I got a more personal experience in your class. (2022h)

I must admit that I was hesitating in taking this course, because U always saw it as a complicated subject. But you, Professor, made it easier to understand, thanks to the real-life examples you gave us. It is my favorite way to understand. Even though I could have done better on the quiz, I’m still very satisfied by this course. You made me not only understand it, but also enjoy it. So, Thank you, Sir!

I loved how we were constantly given real life examples of applications of the studied notions, which provided us a sort of purpose of grasping the meaning behind those concepts we were exploring.
This is just to say the biggest thank you for all your assistance during the duration of this semester and during my time at GT Europe. Saying you are one of the best professors that ever taught me might probably be an understatement.

Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity, I genuinely feel like I learned a lot throughout the semester and I really enjoyed it (much more than I expected to admittedly). Though I realize that I'm going to be back in Atlanta next semester, I'm not sure how realistic any research opportunities would be through you, but I figure it's worth asking regardless. I would be very interested in continuing to do some kind of research through you if there was any method of doing that at a remote campus like Atlanta, though I realize it's a stretch.

2015

Dr. Declercq, Although I've only known you for the short time in your thermodynamics class this summer, this was one of the most heartfelt messages I've ever read. I know you have probably gotten many messages with their sympathies, but I wanted to simply thank you for still teaching us this semester. Your father sounds like a wonderful man who touched the lives of many people. It must be incredibly sad to face this, but I am blown away with you still coming back to help us through this class (believe me I could not learn this material myself). I believe he would be very proud. Thank you for all that you do. (2015a, one of the messages after Declercq’s father’s death.)
*
In another account I would just like to mention again that this has been a great semester and I very much enjoyed our short conversations on random topics ranging from Shahrukh's acting to thermo-economics. Also your analogies in class made thermo much less dry. Thank you so much for all the effort you have put in into teaching us. You are greatly appreciated. (2015b)
*
It was a very interesting semester and I wanted to thank you for that. Good continuation. (2015c)
*
Thanks a ton for the semester Professor! I found Thermodynamics really interesting! (2015d)

*
Hello Professor, I wanted to email you and tell you I really loved thermo this semester. It was an awesome class and I was very happy with the class in terms of what I learned. The project was a ton of fun and I appreciated how helpful you were all of the time. I hope you get to see your family more over the summer and I hope that you get a nice break in between semesters. Thank you for all of your help and Teaching. (2014c)
*
Once again, thank you for having been such a great professor this semester- I really enjoyed the class. Hopefully I will get to see you while I'm at GTL in a couple of months time. (2014d)
*
I would like to thank you for this semester and your very interesting courses in Acoustics-1 and Signals & Transducers. (2014f)

I would like to thank you for that and making this a great learning experience. There needs to be more professors like you that work year-round at tech. (2012b)
*
Greetings Prof. Nico, Thanks for the great semester, I learned a lot from this course. I hope it will help me in my future. What a humble Professor you are. (2012c)
*
Dear Dr. Declercq, First of all, I want you to know I really enjoyed having you as a teacher for the summer and If I ever go to GTL for the fall or spring I will be sure to say hello. Secondly, I've always enjoyed playing music and when you discussed your research it really interested me into looking more into it later on for the future. And some other ideas for when your family comes to Atlanta, maybe you could take them to Six flags, to a concert at the Fox theatre or even visit Stone mountain. Thank you and I hope you enjoy the rest of your summer. (2012d)
*
Thank you very much professor for being an excellent teacher. I really feel like I learned a lot. Even though it was only five weeks, I think I will remember this for a long time to come. Have fun with your family in Atlanta! (2012e)
