Reviews of professor Samantha Dahlberg

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Very nice and caring person, and lectures are pretty good. Biggest problem is the homework. Webwork is due every week, but it's often a bit different than the lectures. Almost seems like it's from another professor (since she's postdoc). Tests are based off "checkpoints" which are practice problems. Only one test was curved, and none are easy.

Professor Dahlberg is a phenomenal professor who really cares about students excelling in her class. MAT 300 can be a tough course but she makes it very achievable. Her homework's can be off the charts difficult, but the exams are very tame and easy. I would easily recommend her for this class, as I have heard the horror stories from other teachers

Dr. Dahlberg is a nice lady. Her lectures are good and she does a good job of slowly going through theoretical math concepts slowly so that everyone can understand what is going on. That being said, the tests and homework are quite difficult and graded quite harshly. There is not much assigned practice to help hone our math skills for the test

Her lectures can be super long and can get confusing. Topics that she explained in 75 minutes were explained better in 15 by YouTube. There's a ton of homework every week and the exams are an absurd amount of your final grade. The labs are the only part of this class I liked.

Lots of extra credit. Uses clicker questions to make sure people understand the lectures. Provided a link to free PDF of textbook, though it was the older version, still worked. Cares a lot about student success. Her grading feedback is fast, and she grades review/practice probs before tests if you choose to do them. HW load was not too bad.

She just started teaching, so she still trying to improve. Her lectures are easy to understand, and she talks slowly for all students to follow up. She gave a lot of extra credits for Webwork, a big project that looks easy, and exams. The midterm seems easy, just understand the materials then you good.
