Comment:

I took speech with Dr Dan and he is by far the most inspirational teacher at TC3. He is blind but is not restriced in the slightest. He is enthusiastic and loves life. There are a couple speeches in his class no written work because he is blind. He loves drama so be prepared to perform for him and you will do well.

Dan Pukstas was my favorite teacher at TC3. I liked his speech class so much that I took another class with him. He is very fair and you will most definitely learn in his class. Had a lot of fun too!

Dr. Dan is funny and all that, but I wasn't terribly interested in all of his stories and jokes about himself.

TC3's infamous "Dr. Dan" Pukstas is a very entertaining guy. He's really honest and tells you what you need to work on with your speeches. Makes class fun.

Comment:

difficult class if you're not into speaking of course, but he's fair and always tells you what you should work on. You have to help him out because he's blind, but he's extremely funny and VERY interested in the subject. Great teacher, great person.

Comment:

He's got a doctorate degree. He's funny. He uses overhead projectors, writes on the chalkboard, sings, wrote a book, grades students on eye contact.... and he's blind. How could he not be an awesome teacher?

Comment:

He's the best professor i've ever had changed my entire perspective on college really cares about his students raelly breaks down papers. He's funny and blind-which can make his writing on the board a bit funny, but he's wonderful.
