Dave is AMAZING! He is such a caring professor and is super clear in his course expectations. Grading is done by grade "clusters" meaning if you meet all of the requirements, you will receive an A grade (this means assignments are graded by completion instead of letter grades). Take this class (or any with Dave) if you can!!! I'm so happy I did!

Best professor EVER. Don't take anyone else for Writ2!! Actually made me enjoy and feel confident in my writing. Made the 1hr 50min lectures go by quick. Very funny and caring, wants you to succeed. As long as you do all the assignments and miss no more than 2 classes, you'll get an A. I love Dave and I'm going to miss him real talk. TAKE HIS CLASS

Awesome professor! He does specs grading, which is SO nice. All assignments are graded based on completion and class attendance. He provides clear and constructive feedback and is supportive and accessible outside of class. There are no sections, and he ended class early (1hr 50 min class that ended up being 1hr 30 max.

I've never written a RMP before but I feel like I HAVE to for Dave. I don't know what else to say other than it is so clear he was meant to teach. All the reviews are spot on; best professor ever.
