He has amazing lectures because he talks you through the assignment and what you have to do on the assignment. He also gives good feed back on what to change or add on the papers you write. He is caring because if you are having trouble or not understanding something he will explain it to you so you can understand it better.

Other than that the class was straight forward and relatively easy.

I think that the way Professor Bernstrom chose to structure his class and schedules was incrediable, checklist and videos that were extremely helpful and easy to follow. The videos that he would make go into detail about the assignments. Feedback was also constructive. His willingness to help his students when needed was amazing. Great Professor!

Professor Daniel Bernstrom has an incredible gift for teaching and is passionate about what he does. His teaching methods are very clear and concise. The class is paced just right so you are still being challenged but not overwhelmed. If this teacher were to teach any other classes..

He makes everyone understand it and if they don't he helps them. He is very kind and is always striving to get his students an A as long as they put in the work. His grading is always clear he gives you feedback to better your paper.

Mr.Bernstrom is an awesome teacher to have. I have taken him for three different classes now throughout my two years of PSEO and have really enjoyed being in his classes. He is a very helpful and caring teacher but also really pushes you to do your best. He will always listen to your input and give the feedback you need to be successful.

He is a great professor and works with your needs. He is always willing to help you out and truly wants to give you the A. This class in particular was a little more challenging for me but will help me in the future as I learned how to adjust to different instruction.

Overall, I enjoyed this class and how easy Mr. Bernstrom was to talk with. Whether that be about the class, help on my paper, or just a conversation in general, it was so easy to communicate with him. The other thing I really liked about this class was how everything for the semester was out there, so you knew what to expect each week.

Professor Bernstrom makes even writing classes engaging. With flexible deadlines and clear feedback, you can easily ace the course as long as you put in the work. Unstuckstudy was a game-changer for my study prep.
