Reviews of professor Daniel MacDonald

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I am writing this late, but I had Dan for CHEM110 and Lab this spring. He's a great professor and extremely patient, kind and helpful. I would definitely take a class with Dan again. I just wish it was a subject that came to me easier lol! Participation is KEY. Make sure if you miss a class you catchup ASAP. It's TOO easy to fall behind in CHEM110.

decent at lecturing, a lot of info fit into a class. Slides are ok/good but his explanations in words are better. Nice and funny guy always wants to help. homework on Aleks(takes a long time). Dont expect quick grades. Free response exams gives lots of half credit.

I had him for Chem 110L and he was so good I made sure to have no other teacher but him for my Chem 111 and Chem 111L. This guy makes everything seem so easy and he makes you feel smart. He literally runs around the class to help every student with a question. He words things in a way that makes everything click. All he cares about is your success!

Great teacher! Very helpful and responds quick to emails. Discusses concepts well in class. Yes he does read off of the slides but he annotates them and gives example problems/ group problems then thoroughly explains them. His office hours our very helpful. Although, attendance is not graded, it is strongly suggests to understand concepts.

very helpful, always explains confusing concepts perfectly. i liked his class because he doesnt do the problems you ask for help on for you, he just asks you questions that'll get you to the answer, so you can do them yourself in the future. also funny and underappreciated i think, makes chemistry fun

I had the most unfortunate semester where the pandemic blew up and everything changed to online learning. Although we switched to online courses, he would always be able to answer any questions and kept the class informed of any upcoming assignments. He also understands the difficulty of this class and makes sure each student will be successful.

Love this man. He really be chill like that when students get close to ask questions, and will make sure that every part of your question is explained to your understanding. However gave the man a bad review is the problem.
