Reviews of professor Michael Seaman

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. Seaman is lecture heavy, he mostly reads off the slides which is boring. He often answers questions by saying "I don't know." His exams are not easy, and will require reading the text book and studying. Be sure to review all potential essay questions (he likes to surprise you).

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
His lectures are very hard to follow. Does not provide helpful review material or practice questions. He often goes on tangents about things that don't matter and focuses on drawing more than annotating slides during lecture. I wouldn't take a class with him again.

Dr Seaman is a fun guy and is very nice, however this not does not make up for his teaching skills. The slides are vague and he scribbles on them, ultimately leaving his lecture slides essentially useless. His practice exams are not similar to the tests and he is textbook heavy. The lecture are boring and he often simplifies a topic too much.

Seaman is not a good lecturer. He is very hard to follow along with and does not explain the material well. I had him the second half of the semester, and would not take him again. If you have him, try and go to class, but the textbook will help you a lot better to understand the material than the lectures themselves.

I like his teaching style better personally and I think he deserves a higher rating. Paying attention in class and reading your book will help you with your assignments, and he made a reading guide for the chapters.

He's a nice guy, but not a very good at lecturing. His slides were kind of broad and vague. He also didn't give us a clear idea of what would be on the exams either. He changed the grading system to make a 60% a C so that enough of us would pass the class. Reading the textbook helps a lot to get through his lectures.

If you don't read the textbook, you will be lucky to pass. His lectures are not helpful in any way. Use the textbook, reading guides, and practice questions.

Horrible Professor. Has no clue what he's lecturing about at all. People have asked general questions about general topics and he literally says "I don't know". He failed over half the class with his first exam. Notes are very bare bones and reading the book doesn't help much. Pray you get a good lab TA because they're all you got.

During lectures Seaman scribbles on the slides without making clear notations, but the lectures are the only helpful thing to attend. Recitations & exam reviews are pointless. His exams require a lot of studying- he picks a very specific topic & tests on that in detail, & you never know what topic it will be. Practice exams & launchpads are helpful
