Comment:

For this specific course, he does not give partial marks, sometimes not at all. This will have a big impact on your exams unless you work extremely hard. He'll help you if you visit his office and tries to help his students, but don't take this specific course with him. Other courses, maybe, but not this one.

This man is the only reason I passed math 1000. He's funny, and great at explaining the course material. He has no problem with you dropping by his office if you're having trouble. The class itself is overwhelming, but go to class, do the online assignments, ask questions, and you will pass.

The way he does the class note's are great. He is approachable and funny. The assignments are challenging, but make you learn the material. Mid-terms' are very hard. He made the final exam the semester I did the course and put on a question I was told not to worry about by tutors', as it had not been on the final exam in over a decade.

Really great professor, one of my favourites. You print out his notes from the D2L page, and you write answers and notes on them in class. Amazingly simple format, I do wonder why I haven't seen other profs do it. Go to class. You actually do stuff, and it helps a lot. He also gave old midterms to study with. Would take again in a second

Such a great prof! He genuinely cares about his students and wants everyone to do well. Explains things clearly and is open to any questions you may have. His tests are very fair, if you go to class and do the homework you'll do well

One of the best math profs I've ever had, a lot of examples in class and mini assignments that force you to stay on top of things. Very understanding if you need extensions and super nice and reasonable if you go talk to him outside class. Hates phones going off in class but super chill :)

He is a great guy and seems to really care about his students, he really wants people to do well and succeed in this course. His notes are pretty easy to follow and he tries his best to explain questions to make them easier on us. If you study and pay attention in class it's not a hard course!

Fantastic class notes and overall approach to teaching the material. If you don't understand the material visiting him during office hours is like seeing a friend for help. Assignments can be challenging and the tests are fair. Anyone planning on taking Math1000, Dr. Dyer is the man

Great prof! Very funny and great guy overall! He teaches the material VERY well. He gives you notes and posts them online. He really wants his students to do well. All of his assignments and projects are group work!! He's available often after class. Doesn't approve of phones ringing in class. Fair grader as well!

I enjoyed D. Dyers class. His lectures were great and helpful. He gives Webassigns and assignments roughly once a week that are usually pretty easy. The hardest thing was the short projects but they aren't worth much. Overall if you put in the work it's not a hard course.

This is my 3rd year of post secondary and he's by far my favourite prof! He really cares for his students and always willing to help. Everytime i visited his office it was like i was going to a friend for help. Hes a funny and nice guy to have a chat with. And he always you to redo 1 question after each exam! Got an A in the course

Comment:

Had Dr. Dyer for Math 1000 this semester. Course load is what it is, wasn't an easy course and if you didn't attend class or keep on top of material you will fail. Although Dr. Dyer doesn't sugar coat it's difficulty he does an excellent job not only teaching the material but with offering a great amount of resources to help outside the classroom.

Comment:

Dyer is quite the character of a professor. If he doesn't drink a can of Diet Coke during a class, then expect the world to end. He is extremely friendly and helpful, yet very irritated by cell phones. Certainly a tough grader, but has the best math notes I've seen at MUN. Prepares you and wants you to succeed, although he doesn't expect you to.

A good prof. Goes out of his way to help and is very friendly. But the assignments are very hard. Even if you go to class, try your hardest and put in hours of work, it'll be tough.

Teaches very well. Doesn't just lecture, he uses class time to let students try some problems. Always available to go see him at his office. Takes off marks on exams where he should be I feel he may take off more than he should. But still 100% possible to get an A if you work. Strongly encourage anyone to take his class.
