I found his lectures unhelpful and had to teach myself everything. Tests had numerous errors on them
Despite what you may have heard, Dahlquist is a champ. 112C was a lot of work though, be prepared to pull a couple all-nighters. He is though, one of the most formidable protein NMR researchers in the world.
Material and PPTs disorganized. Bad at explaining concepts concisely; uses abstract and pointless examples that won't be tested. Book helps little. Homework easy A, graded on effort. Test difficulty varies with his mood, but can get absurd, where huge curves are required. Homework/test difficulty disjointed.
Such a sweet old man, but not the greatest teacher. Going to class doesn't really help with the homework, but homework is graded on effort. His tests are completely doable if you go over the practice tests and homework set solutions. Also, he is very willing to help outside of class. He would be the perfect prof if he was more clear in lecture
You messed up if you don't at least get a B with this guy. Homework is a joke. No need to show up for class. Focus while taking the tests and be prepared to lose a ridiculous amount of points for tiny mistakes.
Really nice prof., but not really good at teaching the material. the 1st midterm was easy. the 2nd midterm was really hard, but he made the final really easy to compensate for the 2nd midterm. he's very understanding and a nice guy. take him if you can instead of sears!

He knows what he's talking about, but he doesn't really teach to the class. He basically just looks at the screen and his laptop and is kind of monotone. He sends you the powerpoints before each class, and all he does is read off it, so attendence isn't necessary. He's a nice guy, but this class was incredibly boring. The tests aren't too bad.
