Comment:
To be a good engineer and learn the subject, you need to take Dashner. I had him for all hia classes. His lectures are challenging because they are deep and makes understand the concept which is what is needed for a successful engineering carrer. Engineering is challenging, so train yourself the right way.

Comment:
By far the most challenging class I have ever taken. Dr. Dashner is pretty intense and expects a lot from his students. This being said, if you attend all the lectures, watch his youtube videos, and go over all examples he posts on his site, the material will start to make sense. Don't be discouraged! There's a light at the end of the tunnel! :)

All the negative reviews are pretty much accurate... He's the most challenging professor I've had. If you wish to thoroughly understand what you're learning, Dashner is a great professor. If you want a good grade on your first attempt, you should take a different professor. Just took finals today, I have my fingers crossed for a D...

The best professor I had. Challenging and hard, but full of knowledge, and more importantly, if you pass his classes you will be an engineer with knowledge.

Comment:
Take him only if you are part of the few percent of students who read the book ahead of time and do 100% of the HW. Otherwise I wouldn't recommend trying to follow after him, or you'll fall behind. IF YOU TAKE HIM, DO NOT SIT ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE CLASSROOM, he will block your vision and you will get lost in the lecture.

Dashner is one of the best professor in ME, He knows who's serious about studying and who's not. I don't recomment CE students take him because I'm not sure it they are smart enough to handle him. ME students will learn so much.

Comment:
To all who read this realize u are a student and as such u need someone who can convey the subject matter clearly.Dasner does NOT.He knows the material but seems frusted he never became a famed intellect.Study the book because his lectures cover the subject lightly.Ask questions even if he ridicules u.Either he's lazy or doesn't know how to teach.

Comment:
He goes thru his lectures very fast, but tells you what you need to know. He has his own way of solving some of the problems, but it usually works beter than the book, if you can understand it. His tests usually follow the types of problems he goes over in class. He is a good teacher, but his tests are kind of hard.

He is a good lecturer. You have to be able to write notes fast. If you pay attention in class, he will tell you everything you need to know. His test are pretty hard though.

Comment:
I came in as a transfer student and took him off the bat not knowing any better. This guy is a jerk and if you ask a question on how he got his answer he'll only ridicule you in front of the whole class. He doesn't seem to care if you get it only that he gets through teaching the class so he can leave. I took another teacher and passed, serious @$$

The one, the only, Dashner. Known to stand in the way of graduating seniors with his juggernaut ME316, many have psyched themselves out of getting a C- or better in his class. The secret? Pay attention, do your homework, and TAKE GOOD NOTES!

They dont call him DR. D for nothing. He's a rocket scientist and shouldn't be teaching at cal poly. MIT would be better for him.

Very challenging guy, but you have to take him if you're an ME. Just study hard and get ready. If you can pass his class the first time, you're somewhat smart. Remember, all you need is a D- in ME 316 to graduate!

I took his class three times. I passed at third time with a D. Very good professor, He knows what he is doing. A genius. Intermediate Dynamic is a very hard course. You really have to pay special attention in his class. Otherwise, you will end up like I did.
