Reviews of professor Benjamin Blackman

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Professor Blackman is definitely knowledgeable on his content and you can tell he has passion for it; however, he was not a good lecturer as he relied on reading from the slides, not to mention would not emphasize what would be on the midterm and exam. The phrasing of questions on his exams are very difficult and almost in-understandable. Not good.

The slides are clear, but there is just so much material covered per lecture, which is really hard to follow. It's all vocabulary, and I had to study way more for this section than the other two units.

lectures are so packed with information, this section of the class could be its own entire semester course. He introduces 10 new topics per lecture, and then says he's only teaching the basics. Exam questions are essentially based off a tiny detail he mentioned once in lecture, and questions often disregard big picture understandings of concepts

Really responsible and hardworking. Willing to go out of his way to help you and responds to your emails fast. Also very humble and kind
