Reviews of professor Daniel Mortensen

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Lots of work in this class, but it ended up being one of my favorite classes this semester. Dr. Mortensen is funny in lectures and is really good about getting you help outside of class. Do the readings and homeworks religiously and you will be ok. Do gazillions of practice problems for the tests. Good guy and straightforward teacher.

Super funny teacher, very caring, very uplifting, and very accessible. Honestly pretty sure this class material would have been akin to getting a root canal if it weren't for Dr. Mortensen constantly being hilarious. It would be a mistake to take it from anyone else.

Took him during the spring when it turned P/F for COVID. It was a great experience and would probably have been more stressful if it had not been P/F. Seems like a great guy. I loved learning from him.

Fun professor and lab is not too bad. Class average on the final was a 60 though and the highest score was an 84. Kinda tanked everyones grades at the end and the final was extremely difficult no matter how well you prepared.

Dr. Mortensen was a fantastic professor. This class is tough for most students and really is a pain but his witty lectures made it kinda fun. Having a TA that know what they are talking about is really helpful though since you don't get a ton of practice in class. He is willing to meet and show you how to get a better grade. Plus he blows stuff up

I would take a class from Dr. Mortensen again. Maybe a bit lacking on the spiritual side.

this was the worst class I've taken at BYU. what is taught in class and what is tested are two completely different things. I got high As on all homework and understood the material and them bombed every test. prof mortensen is a nice guy, but his class needs some serious changing. stay away from this class at all costs if you can!!

Super funny, dont expect him to take anything seriously. Includes a couple spiritual thoughts throughout the semester. There is a lot of homework which helps reduce the impact of the tests, but it is still test heavy. Most important thing for the class is study for the tests!
