Comment:

Dr. D. is an amazing professor. He knows his history, teaches because of his love for the subject and goes out of his way to help you understand. If you're struggling, he's the first to open his office door. He's busy, but he's always available to help in the best way possible. He's hilarious and you will never be bored in his class.

Comment:

This guy is a great teacher and very willing to go the extra mile to help you; however, if history is not something you find interesting and you can't afford to lose a lot of time on this class then take a different professor. He almost never gives A's on papers so you'll have to work extremely hard for your grade.

Comment:

He's the best teacher I've ever had...and "I know fertilizer when I see it." He was my history prof at SBU and we missed him a lot when he left. My advice: attend the review sessions, use a tape recorder, write until your hand is numb, and make sure you can either write well, or have someone who CAN write edit everything you expect him to read.

Comment:

I don't understand why most people complain about his classes being difficult. If you want to pay for your grade, go to community college (not that commerce is much more than one). There's an obvious point in his courses being challenging, but in the same respect you'll learn a whole hell of a lot more than most of the other "professors" here who teach like it's highschool part 2. He's also pretty damn funny.

Comment:

before this class i was dreading still more civil war stuff, but i'm loving it. dr. dobbs is one of the best lecturers i've heard and i'm finding out things about the time period i never knew, even gossip about the key players. i also agree with others that have noticed how handsome he is. at times it is rather distracting.

Very funny and interesting, be sure to go to every class, its hard to catch up if you miss a lacture. HIs class was challenging, but in a good way, the tests were very hard but the workload isn't too bad. He makes you want to learn history, and isn't he so cute?

I really loved his class, and he is easily one of the top five best teachers on campus. I left the classroom thoroughly gratified. He is hard, but you feel better as a student having worked so hard, and learning so much.

He is a little hard, but if you show up to class and keep up with him you'll pass and also learn a few things. He is a fun professor.

He knows a lot about the subject he is teaching. He requires a lot of work and a lot of attention in class. He is a good teacher, but a tough one.

I had this man his first semester on campus. I made a 'B' but it was through my own efforts ONLY. All he did was talk about FDR and belittle those who disagreed with him. I couldn't wait to get out of his class. A real jerk!!

I, too, hated (all) history until I took this course. Yes, there's alot of reading req'd, but the material isn't as bad as some of the things I've been tortured with. Dr. Dobbs makes the history revelant, humorous, & forthright. Highly Recommended!
