Comment:

Absolutely the funniest prof ever. Lots of funny stories, and they all relate to the course material. Very helpful with any questions, def goes the extra mile to help his students. Doesn't expect students to buy txtbooks and provides excellent notes. Can't think of a single bad thing to say about the guy. 100% best teacher I've had in my life.

Comment:

David Bennett is a great prof who has taught two of my classes over the past few years. The fact that he puts text books on reserve in the library and does not expect students to purchase them is great, and his stories are usually very insightful.

Comment:

This professor is not at all what he seems. I too asked him for clarification regarding an assignment and was rudely told that it had been discussed in class and I shouldn't need any further clarification. His marking is subjective, he marks based on quality, not content. The most disappointing prof I've had in my 4 years at Carleton.

Comment:

Professor Bennett comes off as being a sincere professor. His lectures are interesting and he uses many anecdotal stories. I asked him for clarification on an assignment . He insulted me and refused to give any assistance. I plan to contact the dean of the department regarding his behaviour.

Comment:

Fantastic prof, you cannot argue with the experience this man has. There's a reason he's still teaching. Lectures are interesting and full of facts, great for background information on health care systems and world environmental health. Definite recommend for any GEOG student. Can't say enough about this guy, he's great.

Comment:

VERY POOR TEACHING. All discussion was dominated by him. All his accounts were anecdotal. Not taught as a seminar. Not sufficient readings handed out. 'Easy' course but what did we learn? not much. Waste of three hours every Wednesday morning. Nice man but should not be teaching a graduate course.

great prof...my first geo course was with him, and since then i've taken 2 more! very nice man, great stories, very fair exams. Need to take good notes, as he doesn't provide any. very approachable and easy to follow class. exams are mainly essay, but also SA and LA. you'll learn a lot & laugh also

this prof is by far one of my favourites. his lectures are great, they are interesting, full of relevant stories and facts and they never seem like lectures! i never minded going to his classes. he's approachable, kind and has a great sense of humor. i can't recommend him enough! i learned so much from his classes, i never thought i'd like geog!

If you work hard he will reward you for it. Do not take his classes if you plan on slacking off. He is a wonderful man and great to talk to about anything outside of class. He really makes you think and look at things differently.

I loved this prof! I would take any course he taught. He is very fair, don't expect to just ride though his classes, you have to work hard. He will reward you for hard work. Very approachable. Great guy!

Very funny, and a fair marker. I enjoyed his stories, as 100% of them were relevant to the course. In fact, I would gladly take any other course this professor teaches. He was also very down to earth.

Comment:

This is the best professor I have ever known, and this is comign from a person who has studies in three continents. He is funny, serious, caring, sensitive, smart, and above all goes the "extra mile" to help students. Anything that this man can do to bring the best out of a studnet, he will do.

GEOG 2005, 2006, 3003, 3206,... need I continue? Anything Dave teaches is great and worth taking - even if it is stats. I understand stats, and can actually use the stuff he taught. Omits the crap that other profs insist on
