Reviews of professor Daniel MacKay

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
This is not an easy class but if you go to office hours and complete every homework assignment, you'll do well (I did not complete homework for a little bit, and that is why my grade is not as good.)

i tried fighting 1 (one) point back bc my line on a graph was slightly upwards and still didnt give the point back while just staring at me and smirking. im ngl u learn from the lectures. HOWEVER, so unaccessible outside of class and wont give you points back. if u love urself, take with the other prof (or do it somewhere else lol). GRADES LATE!!!

Solid professor despite reputation. Lectures are boring but effective, outside reading or studying is not really necessary. Watch for the question on the final about the ex wife.

Lectures felt like a sleep inducing lullaby it was as if he swallowed a cigar factory exhaling microeconomic theories instead of smoke rings arguing for points was like negotiating with a stone wall utterly futile as for his availability was like playing a game of hide and seek where he always won as office hours were a closely guarded secret.

Not much work goes into this class, you just have to complete a quick hw before each class. I fell asleep in every lecture & he moved so quickly that I never understood content & had to learn outside of class. ta office hours help more than his...he's a good professor just dry

you have to show up to class because he doesn't put his lectures anywhere online, but the lectures are clear and easy to follow and he's passionate about the subject and is very willing to answer any and all questions.

MacKay teaches 1011 in a very straightforward way. Easy to do well if you go to class and take good notes. Discussion sections were counterproductive, just do all of the homework assignments before each test and you will do fine. Pretty neutral class overall.

Have to attend lecture to take notes and get homework (you take a picture of it at the end of class). He goes through concepts pretty well though and is very accessible in office hours. Tests are like study guide and homework. Most tests will have a curveball question or two but are also curved so it evens out.

This professor does the bare minimum in virtually every category. To encourage people to show up to the lectures, he refuses to upload any of the content shown in class. If you wish to review what you didn't understand later that day, good luck. The tests are misleading. Homework is given at the end of every lecture so you can't work ahead.
