Reviews of professor Daniel Mortensen

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Chem 105 is an awful class you just have to get through but Mortensen is hilarious and a really good choice for this class. The material is overwhelming and chemistry just sucks but if you do all the work you should be fine. You will spend a lot of time with this class so don't take a credit-heavy semester. Tests are 70% of total grade, good luck.

I took Chem105 as a Junior, so much later than most people. I relied heavily on the textbook and TA Recitation/reviews. I would highly recommend doing the extra credit as I probably should have and gotten an A-. Prof. Mortensen has some inspiring lectures and is a great professor for Chem. Chem is always a hard class, but he makes it more bearable.

This class is very hard. If you are taking it for a GE, DO NOT DO IT. The professor was pretty good and chill but the class itself was unnecessarily hard. The tests were way harder than the content we were exposed to. There are lots of homework. He was overall pretty good but all the professors have the same test so it doesn't really matter.

This class has the potential to be difficult beyond belief but Dr. Mortensen is super chill! It is a 4 credit lab class, so expect to spend a lot of time in the lab, but he made the lecture portions and tests totally manageable. Definitely don't take it from anybody else for risk of the class being impossibly hard.
