He will make you laugh. Great guy, cares about his students, intelligent, patient. I wish he could teach all my classes.

BEST experience @ UCSB. Great teacher, very knowledgable, available outside of class office hours & by email, he's understanding, and he cracks great jokes during lecture! He makes the material comprehensible. You need to go to class & Must do the reading. Dr. Dave enjoys class participation and your grade reflects it--in a good way! :) Must Take

Relies a bit too much on Power Point, but overall a good class in which I learned a great deal. Professor Fowler covered a huge amount of material, but still managed to knit things together in an understandable way.

Professor Fowler/Dr. Dave is a great teacher - hes knowledgeable, explains material well, deeply cares whether you understand it, & is very helpful & available in office hours/email. Awesome class.

Dr. Dave is awesome! He is so caring and understanding. Gives you opportunities to makeup assignments given an emergency. He made the course so interesting and easy to comprehend. The class itself was so fun to learn about early Hindu traditions and Gods and Goddesses. Would definitely take again!

did not really enjoy the class or his teaching style, do not take
