The professor was very clear with the course material and grading. He makes all of the lecture PowerPoints available to study. The grading was fair and it is clear he actually wants the students to do well in the class. If you pay attention to the lectures, you'll succeed. I'm not super science-y but the material was interesting and easy to follow.Rate My Professors ↗
Great lectures with all the information needed to do well in the class. Very straight forward class/tests. Very easy-going professor who makes the lectures fun and easy to stay concentrated. Also, great TA's that respond promptly to emails when in need of help. As long as you listen, take notes, and do some studying you can do well in the class.Rate My Professors ↗
Fun guy and cares about his class. It's not too difficult if you put some effort in and the subject material is pretty interesting.Rate My Professors ↗
Daniel did quite well teaching in an online setting. His lectures were mostly interesting and he made my honors discussion fun. I am not a stem major but I do enjoy learning about science. This class was fairly easy, but I do feel like I learned a lot because he emphasized learning over grades. Overall would recommend!Rate My Professors ↗
