Comment:
Although taking all my senior maths in high school made this class very easy I found Dennis to be a good prof. He provides good examples and is very good at answering questions. He was also very helpful outside class when I had questions. Pay attention and you''ll get a good mark.

I felt apprehensive going into this class reading the comments. Worry not, Dennis is a great prof! I struggle greatly with math, and have been doing very well. Extremely fair exams - no tricks, no surprises. Put the work in, and you'll do great. Highly recommended!

Confusing, very confusing. Makes topics that should be simple much more complicated than they should be.

Comment:
I took math 104 with Dennis, & I am currently in his Stat 103. I really like Dennis as a prof; yes sometimes he confuses himself but if you come to class there will be nothing on exams that weren't covered in class. The exams are easy (if you paid attention in class) & marked fair. He will drop your lowest midterm if you have a bad one.

Prof was very friendly, easy to understand. Made class enjoyable with his jokes! Didn't use textbook at all. Online assignments helped me so much in the long run! Overall good course!

Please do NOT believe any negative comments here. Best prof ever! His class is really good organized and clear. A lot of sample tests for practice. Textbook is not necessary cuz the notes he posted are useful. Do all the sample questions,then you will get A+!!

Comment:
Incredibly bad prof. Would recommend avoiding at all costs. Makes simple concepts very difficult. You are better off not going to class and learning the material yourself. Doesn't put the right answer on exam, so chooses the closest/wrong answer as correct. Very bad.

Comment:
Worst prof I have ever come across. I have emailed him 3 times throughout the term and I haven't gotten a reply once. His midterms are full of mistakes. On our last midterm the correct answer wasn't even in the answer choices so he just marked the "closest answer" correct. It's a joke.

He confuses himself every single class. His notes are all over the place. He means well, just isn't a great professor at all.

Comment:
Class was easy. Prof was easy to understand. If you do the online assignments, write clear notes, and do the practice tests you can go into the final with 100. I found the content was explained well and many examples were used. It helps to have taken Calc in high school.

Comment:
Useless and rude he didn't include the correct answers on most of his exams saying just choose the closest even if that answer was already selected notes were scattered and barely useable spent 65 on a text book he most didn't base any notes off of told the students not to go to the help centre cause they don't know what their doing

I took it thinking it would easy, it's so boring that you don't even feel like putting the effort into studying. Buy the legit textbook don't just try to study from ebook (it sucks). Gives you 10 options so you need to know your stuff and need to be cautious. Don't take class it sucks.

Comment:
I suck at math but earned a high 90 in this class without much sweat. The lectures are dry and sometimes wordy and the textbook is an abomination (DO NOT BUY), but the marking is fair. Dennis provides many sample tests and gives easy assignments (worth up to 50% of your grade) based entirely on in-class examples. Uninspiring but easy: you can get 100.

Comment:
His notes are all over the place, I used the textbook to teach myself. He tries to do all the equations in head and makes a lot of mistakes. The assignments are good but online and tests are ridiculous, multiple choice with 10 possible answers. I would never take a class from him again

He is a terrible prof...It seems as if half the time he doesn't know what he's talking about and doesn't care whether the class understands it or not.

Comment:
I loved math coming into this class, and hate it going out. He seems like a good guy but he's a terrible prof. Without a roommate who knows math I probably would have failed the class. It's a snore, which makes it easy to skip, and I never really learned anything by going anyways.I really do not recommend him.
