Reviews of professor Daniel Salmon

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I took him his first semester teaching a lecture course. He was readily receptive to student feedback on how we learn best and what we hope to get out of lecture, and now uses a lot of in-class examples that were related to test material. Good test prep. Exams were incredibly tough, but review sessions helped. Note sheet allowed for exams!

Solid choice for physics lab at UAA! Definitely one of the best lab experiences I've had at this university (and that's saying a lot). Laid back and helpful guy, and pretty clear on his expectations for the lab reports. Study the lab manual and calculations for the labs, and you'll do fine on the midterm and final (they take up most of your grade).

Labs were tough (though standardized by physics department). Super helpful in clarifying lab manual instructions, giving help with prelab assignments, and helping you out during the actual lab. Answers questions readily and really well; you feel like you're actually learning than just stress-rushing to finish the lab. Read instructions before class
