Comment:

Released content to complete assignments and projects far too late. Edited project files without comments as to why the code is even in there. When content was released it was vaguely similar to current material and did not offer any solutions. Hardest class I've taken yet! Take the other guy.

Comment:

He's a great guy, but his teaching style is not for me. He literally said "were doing this differently than everyone else" and were doing things in a way more difficult way than everyone else. He gives and builds on material your supposed to learn near the end of the course on day one. Like I said, he's a nice guy but his teaching style is bad.

Comment:

This was a two day course C# Level 4. Dan seemed very knowledgeable overall and most helpful. His course was not as structured as a previous course I took, but I thought it was very worthwhile. I took quite a bit home with me from this one. He made it seem pretty easy rather than complicating things.

Dan is an excellent instructor. He takes time to help people. His suggestions are always helpful and he inspires. I suggest always attending all of his classes because the subject matter can be complex for some.

Comment:

Very bad instructor, he didn't give a review class before the midterm... he was absent. He doesn't give answers to midterm questions. He doesn't prepare you for labs. No examples, no instructions, just figure it out yourself. Should be fired.
