Dan is a nice guy. His classes are very straightforward. Do the work, do the best you can, and turn it in on time. Both classes were easy and informative. It wouldn't hurt if he was more knowledgeable in current design trends.

Overall I was glad I took this course. The material was well written and easy to follow. Unfortunately Dan didn't start giving feedback on assignments before they were due until three weeks before the semester was over. It would have been nice to get feedback throughout the whole class.

Another rater said: " He does mark a little hard, but if you work hard and show that you're trying to push your limit everytime, you'll get that grade you want." I would most certainly second that. Work hard, and you'll do well. Be lazy, and you won't. There's nothing Dan does that isn't a part of work and life in the creative industries.

He's majorly awesome. Easy going and answer my questions as soon as he can. He does mark a little hard, but if you work hard and show that you're trying to push your limit everytime, you'll get that grade you want.

Comment:
design is my life, and it was nearly crushed to death from this man. when i turned in assignments, he would only say how much he hates it. never explains why or what could be changed to make it better. also, when students ask questions, instead of answering them, he says things like "stop complaining". many students had a rough time in this class.

Comment:
I came in knowing nothing and came out a genius.... not because of the slob of a teacher but because of other students that were helpful and internet tutorials. He never slowed down when asked, rolls his eyes when you ask a question and goes for an entire class period about how much better he than you are.... he's pathetic... ignorant and arrogant.

He's been my teacher for both Design Tech and Interactive Design. Guess what, I've gotten the same grade from him. I don't know why. It seems like effort put on projects is never a criteria for the grade it's always about that WOW factor, well I get it. At first he was cool and funny, but it just seems he's very hard to please.

dan was a nice guy, but was always late, and frequently didn't even show up at all! there where many times when we went to class on wasted train/bart/parking tickets 'cuz he stood us up or was sick. he wasted time by showing internet videos of silly irrelevant to the class videos, and he never used the makeup classes to teach us missed material!

Wasn't interested in helping me improve as a student. He told me to be happy with what I have, but gave me no input on how I could improve myself after I asked.

In the future I will be going out of my way to avoid taking any more classes with Dan. As noted he is a very nice person however you will not leave his classes with work for your portfolio. Just look at the spring show work. How many pieces produced in Dans classes? not many.

His demos are sort of silly sometimes and he stumbles but I really enjoyed the material, and because he is so nice and helpful I actually did learn, even though he seems a little aloof.
