Selected Student Comments from Anonymous Teaching Evaluations

  • "Dan is one of the best professors I have had at WVU if not the best. He really cares about his students. He helped us in other aspects of our academic career other than just completing our capstone. He helped us apply for jobs, improve our LinkedIn, and resumes. He took the time to get to know us and assist us out of class in flexible office hours."
  • "I think this was one of the best courses I have taken at WVU. There was a real motivation to learn and the Professor was always available to help."
  • "Dan was one of my favorite professors of undergrad. He was very personable and I believe I learned more useful information in this course than any of my other economics courses."
  • "Dan has gone above and beyond as our professor."
  • "Even though you are only a few years older than us, you could have been strict and vain, however you acted like a peer mentor / instructive friend. Thank you for setting up a class targeted at valuable things you believed we ought to know; It was much appreciated that the course was relevant to real world applications."
  • "He was very enthusiastic, and pushed me to be better than I actually thought I could be. Being from Kuwait, not many teachers interact with me as fluently and passionately as my professor did and I appreciate that greatly. I am very grateful to have him as a my teacher. "
  • "He didn't mind helping, anything that was misunderstood he didn't mind elaborating or re–constructing his words until you understood. He also tied a lot of the concepts discussed in class to real–world situations so that we could get a better understanding. Best instructor I've had here at WVU thus far! "
  • "I really liked the in class discuss the instructor really helped anchor the topics we learned with the discussions we held, even when they went on to a tangent. Furthermore, The quizzes was great practice and spread out evenly for me to really have the time to cement the knowledge gained in class. Having less exams and stress of just rot memorisation and instead opting for this style of learning really matched my learning style."
