Comment:

My best teacher. Period. In the first class he taught, 1968. Quoted the Beatles to elucidate a point and had us all from the git go. Let me take majors classes, tho' I wasn't one, cuz he appreciated eccentric perspectives. Had he chosen politics, it would have been President Dillon. Sorely missed.

This man will change your life. I did not get a great grade in his class, but what you will learn at the end is priceless. It really makes you rethink how you think and even your outlook on your life. Dont be offended by what he says because the fact is, HE IS RIGHT! He can really really teach! Always has the best stories too!

Was an extraordinary professor. HE COULD TEACH, instead of just lecturing like most profs do. Funny, intelligent, carismatic, energetic, caring... the list goes on. Dillon will be missed by many. I cant imagine anyone ever taking his place.

God Bless this guy, he was an awesome professor that had an effect on all his students. I feel very fortunate to have had him as a professor. Very generous professor with a great appreciation for his students. Wily old man that never lost his youthfulness and charisma. R.I.P. Dillon

Incredible class. He really knows his stuff, and knows how to present the ideas. You'll definately learn, and probably pick up his sarcasm along the way. Terrible TA, though; didn't have any idea what he was talking about. Great class, even better if you get a TA who can THINK.

Fantastic. I mean, how many professors do you know that give their TA's $20 to take their discussion groups out for coffee, just because they say they're tired?

One of the best professors I have ever had. His class is fun and interesting. Debate him and you'll lose, he knows what he's talking about and he can argue until he wins. His expectations are clear and he's very fair. Everyone should take a class with him, he's awesome.

Dillon is the reason why I became a philosophy major. I guess he's also the reason i don't have a job right now.

Comment:

He's funny as hell. He probably did so many drugs when he was younger, which just makes him that much cooler. Plus he's got some of the greatest sotries to tell. And he doesnt care about being politically correct, which rocks.
