David was my professor in engineering physics in the early 1990s. He was a GREAT teacher. One of the best i ever had. tough but fair. Made you learn physics. I wish all teachers i had after him were as good.

Comment:

I thought he's a very good teacher that really loves to help and teach others. He turned out to be rather different. I would have the exact right answer on certain test problems and would give me a 6/14 because I substrated in a different order. He grades by how much he likes you. Which is just rude and annoying.

I had Dave as an instructor in 1992. Not sure if he is still at it, but i hope so. Too bad all teachers are not as dedicated as him.

I really don't think he's all that great. Tests are hard and he rarely gives examples that are like the actual tests. Came into physics with a open mind, ended up hating it.

One of the best teachers I ever had. Really dedicated and makes learning physics very enjoyable. Tests are hard, but there are make ups. Homework comes in large quantities but it prepares you for the test. Read, take good notes and look over class problems and you should do fairly well.

Dave is the greatest teacher I have ever had. He turned a passive interest of mine into a passion I will pursue for the rest of my life. Whatever your level, he will push you to the extent of your abilities and instill a sense of accomplishment and meaning. I greatly respect Dave, and pray he doesn't follow this whole retirement nonsense.
