Reviews of professor Daniel Seidel

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Dr. Seidel's lectures were difficult to follow because he speaks very quickly, and he rarely explained the examples that he incorporated in the lectures. Unfortunately, I had to teach myself almost everything. If he had spent more time on explanation and less on working numerous examples, I believe he would have been a more effective lecturer.

Professor Seidel is a solid Organic 1 lecturer. However, as with most things, be prepared to read and study a lot on your own at home as well. As long as you read and do all the assigned practice problems, you will do well.

It was Prof. Seidel's first semester at UF. Lectures were very short, only 45-50 min, but wasn't his fault. Exams were quite hard but extremely doable. Kept a lot like the practice test and used problems from his powerpoints. Averages were really low, so high curve. Very friendly outside of classroom as well. Best of wishes to Dr. Seidel

Overall I had a decent time taking Seidel's class, and if I could go back and change professors I probably wouldn't. I went to class about half the time because I didn't find lecture that helpful, but teaching yourself is possible. His exams were fair when he actually wrote them but he lifted 2 of them verbatim from another professor.

Lectures could get a bit tedious and I often taught myself a lot of the material, but exams were very doable, very similar to the practice exams. However, a big gripe would be that we were often tested on material that wasn't extensively or covered at all in lecture.
