Reviews of professor Daniel MacDonald

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Lectures are terrible, reads off of slides directly yet requires us to be present. Will randomly say something of note that is not on the slide, but its too quick to catch. Does not explain well.

Dan was an amazing professor and I am so incredibly glad that I had him for chem 110. He does all that he can to help his students and make sure that they pass his class. Though he goes fast the chem book is online and his slides accessible. When I was sick he made sure to give me every opportunity to make up what I missed. So thankful to this man.

Dan is a super chill guy, and I really enjoyed taking this lab class with him. He knows his stuff and is willing to help you out when you inevitably get stuck. The only thing I'd dock him for is his inability to grade assignments on time. He was still grading on the last day to turn in grades.

Dan is awesome and really cares about students and wants everyone to do well and understand the concepts. He is always there to help. I've had him in three different classes and he is beyond the best. Show up, show that you tried, and he will be more than willing to help you.

Genuine best professor I've ever had. He could explain things in 30secs that my lecture professor would spend an hour and a half just confusing us on. He's so kind and friendly, and I've never been good at chem but he made understanding the information so easy. He's incredibly helpful and just a fantastic resource, I cannot recommend him enough.

This professor was always very kind and willing to explain the lecture and any questions. Super friendly and funny personality! Does take a while grading though.

Took him for Chem 110L last semester. Definitely a worthwhile lab teacher!

Dan was incredible at explaining concepts and answering questions. His office hours are extremely helpful. He didn't host lecture this year but he is still well-versed in the content. Will offer really helpful shortcuts and methods. He is a very fast talker, though.

I had Prof. Dan for lab and he was so on top of explaining how to do the labs, even explaining what we may have not understood in lecture. He makes learning chemistry as fun as it could possibly be. Great professor, but he takes forever to grade. The only thing graded fast was our midterm and final, he took until the last day to grade the rest.

Dan is literally the best. Lab is fun and he will answer ANY and ALL questions. He's not strict, and lets you pick your own lab partners. He gets straight to the point when class starts, and will continuously let you know that he's there to answer questions as lab goes on. Also, you can laugh in lab as long as you are careful and get things done.
