Extremely helpful and such a nice guy! Algebra isn't too bad, but just make sure to go to class often and do the homework! He gives great examples!

He was a decent guy but graded homework extremely hard!! Tests were not very similar to the examples he gave in class for notes. I would not recommend him!

Best math teacher I have had. Really gives students every opportunity to get good grades. Tests and everything is easy as long as you do the homework. TAKE MR. D!!!

Comment:

Mr. D is such a nice guy, he really will keep you laughing throughout class. He's such a great person. However, his tests are extremely hard. Sometimes when he teaches it's unclear and different from the homework…. and then the review questions never match up to the test and you're left dumb-founded but he will help you if you come in for it.

Great guy. Genuinely cares about each and every student in regards to their success in his class. It's like having your grandpa as a teacher but in a good way. Great sense of humor.

Comment:

Gary is a great guy, and has that "old-person" humor that you just can't help but to love. The material is somewhat challenging, but he explains it decently enough. My only gripe is that he'll assign homework on material that he hasn't yet taught sometimes, which can be frustrating, but he never will grade it before he teaches it.

Super great guy. Is willing to do anything to help his students. Math isn't an easy subject in college, but he does a great job making it very painless. Work hard-you will be rewarded.

He helped alot and lets you take makeup quizzes/exams to boost your grade. He wants everyone in his class to pass and tries hard to help the class understand homework assignments and lectures

Mr. D is awesome! As long as you go to class, you won't fall behind. I did my homework everyday right before class (takes 20 min.) and studied for an hour before each test/quiz and left with an a in the class. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Comment:

He is one of the worst math teachers I have ever had. He makes you learn on your own and if you don't understand something you have to go see him on your own terms. he gives retakes if you dont miss any class but they are alot harder then the first tests. i would say take a different teacher if you can

Comment:

I hated how he calls on random people during class. I absolutely despise being put on the spot. What we learn in class is often much easier than what is on the test. My biggest problem with him is when I got 5 out of 6 points taken off my test for my answer of 4/10 when the correct was 2/5. However, he is very willing to help which was nice.

Comment:

Great guy, but not so great of a teacher. He often gives you notes that don't correspond with the quizzes and tests. The quizzes and tests are very HARD. I wouldn't recommend him if you want a professor that teaches you the information that you will be tested on.

Mr. D is a great professor-one of my favorites at UW-L. Super funny, sweet little old man, and is always willing to help you to make sure you really understand the material. As long as you go to class, do your homework, and study, you'll do fine. He is extremely helpful. I loved having him as a professor, take him! :)

Mr. D is awesome! He makes the class go by so fast. If you do your homework and study a little before the quizzes/tests, its not hard at all. I love the guy and thinks he's hilarious. He has a corky sense of humor but everyone seems to love it. Hes like the grandpa you never had almost. Go to class, do your homework and you'll be fine. (:

Comment:

Seems to enjoy stressing students out. HW everyday, quiz or a test at least once a week. Tests are hard & different from notes which was very frustrating. Very hard grader and hardly gives partial credit when deserved. I worked hard in this class and went into office hours but still felt that his grading was unfair. I do not recommend taking him!!
