Reviews of professor DANIEL PARKER

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
AVOID. IF. YOU. CAN. his exams are extremely hard. I read the book, his slides, and studied almost 50+ hours a week for this class, and still didn't do great. He will replace your grade if you did better on the final, but I bet you, it won't even happen because his exams are hard. also, boring.

His exams were not easy but they were fair. He also curved them and offered a decent amount of extra credit. An A is very doable but you do have to study a decent amount. I personally found the content boring and he was also a pretty boring lecturer on top of that but this class isnt unbearable.

Super good lecturer. He is very passionate about teaching the material and this can be seen in how he throughly explains concepts and goes back if we need time to process it. Quizzes and exams were pretty straight forward and easy + online,  just know how to calculate and you should be good :)

I took this class during COVID & I feel like that is what saved. At the end of the class, we could use our midterm grade as our final or take the final. He also let us take our last quiz 3 times, as well as giving us extra credit for our midterm (up to 5 points extra) and he is very nice. His exams are hard though, really wordy so be careful.

He's an extremely flexible & understanding professor. He genuinely cares about his students and encourages them to succeed. The content itself is dense and his exams can be a bit tricky, but if you put effort to make flashcards of all the definitions/ formulas & go to class, you'll get an A. I didn't even use the textbook! Also, extra credit!

He mostly reads off slides but being in class helps a lot + iclicker pts. I thought it was going to be easy but I definitely had to work for it. I never read the book but it would have helped a lot !Quizzes are going to show up again on the tests! Discussion is super helpful! He'll cancel your midterm grade if you do better on your final.
