Highly recommend Dana! He's very clear about what he wants you to learn for the lecture and the practice problems and quizzes are very similar to what he puts on the exam. There are no surprises and lots of chances to earn a high grade in labs, participation, iClicker questions, and weekly homework assignments.

Comment:

I took a combined course where Dana and Ryan Cawsey worked together. Both were amazing instructors, but Dana had fantastic instructional capabilities, getting the message across clearly. In my section with the two professors, they let us use a cheat sheet for exams, making them a piece of cake! If you've taken physics 11, this class is a breeze.

a great prof, gives bonus clicker points just for showing up to class. just make sure dont leave the labs at the last minute cuz some of the labs take hours to do, make sure you do a little bit of them everyday. had so many night where i decided to do it at 10 pm and then ended up finishing at 3 am

must attend every class because it's a lab obviously he somehow makes the LONG labs non-painful and is CRYSTAL CLEAR on the instructions and how-to's. and let me tell you some of these labs will take forever to do. this teacher actually has no flaws, his midterm is really easy too.

Great prof! Easy to get an A. I had this prof teaching lab material and Cawsey Ryan teaching lecture material. They're both good!

Took this course online. Lecture videos were very helpful in explaining the topics. Reading the text is a must in order to do well, however material is not that difficult. Dana is very helpful and responds to emails very quickly!

Dana is one of the best teachers at Langara. Passionate about his subject. Great lecture slides. Fair in labs and exams. Attending lectures will save you time since he explains stuff so well. HKIN 2230 is immensely interesting and requires no pre-requisites, take it! This is all coming from a CPSC student.

Comment:

Dana is the best example of an amazing professor. He is very clear and concise during lectures. His tests are fair and based on how much effort and "deliberate practice" you put into the course. He was always willing to help, you can really tell he has a passion for teaching. He's hilarious too! Highly recommend!

He explains things very well however the course content is extremely challenging. If you're not interested in it nor do you like loads of reading, then this class is definitely not for you. But at least when you zone out there's something nice to look at. ;)

He is so nice and really clear at explaining. In fact, I didn't open the textbook once all term (DON'T BUY IT!!!) If you have Physics 11 this course will be really easy for you. Gives the format of the test and lots of helpful review. Highly recommended.

Comment:

I had Dana as an instructor for bio mechanics and motor behaviour. I have to say I had no interest before registering. Dana turned out to be out of the best instructors I have ever had. He was the first teacher I got an A from. He makes the course easy and will help you until you understand. I agree with the model Prof comment. He is that good.

Comment:

Dana is a great biomechanics teacher, who really wants his students to succeed. Exams are quite similar to the questions from the problem sets and his notes package. He's always glad to help out if you don't understand concepts, and his corny jokes make class fun. Nice guy, very organized, and a fast marker. Model prof.

Good teacher, motivated attempts to make things clear, although Biomechanics can be very tough if you have no physics background. As far as help, he's always offering. And very organized

Model professor. This is exactly what a prof should be like. He explains everything so well that anyone can understand.
