Mr. Dasser is incredibly helpful; he explains the problems in a variety of ways until he and you are sure you understand them. As long as you go to class and do some homework problems(not required, but helpful to you), you'll do fine in his class.

His accent IS hard to understand, but he is always open for questions and answers them well. Homework is for your own benefit (and will boost your grade if you're borderline). I got 100's on all the tests, he always adds extra credit. If you listen to his lectures carefully and practice the homework, this class is an easy A. He's really nice too!

Accent wasn't an issue. He DOES go through things quickly but he will go over things again and he encourages questions. He gives reviews before each test that have problems with the same formats as the ones on the test (in the same order) so if you come to the review you should do pretty well on the test. He's lax on attendance.

He is a very nice and understanding guy. He gave homework but didn't usually collect it, it was more for our own understanding. Make sure you are in class every time and take the notes down of the problems on the board. He gives points for trying on tests. I recommend him if you are not advanced in math and need an easy A.

I am taking statistics course with prof Dasser right now.There is so much material to learn, but If you do the homework plus the two reviews he sent for each exam, you would do better. One review contains solutions as videos in which he shows all the steps needed to work the problem. Professor Dasser is awesome.

He lays out clear, step-by-step methods of solving complex problems; moreover, he explains to his students the reasons behind each step. This teaching method effectively delivers the information that students require to pass a test, but more importantly, it broadens a student's overall understanding of the subject matter.

After taking Calc 3 online I can say that Professor Dasser is extremely passive aggresive and condescending. Speaking with him is like pulling teeth and always leaves you frustrated and unmotivated. If you're good at self learning/self teaching, you should be fine but definitely don't expect him to be of any help.

This is the most relaxed teacher I've ever had. He gives you an average of 3 Pearson homework assignments per week that you can do until you get a 10. His tests don't have HonorLock, which ends up helping. I did them 100% online. The only thing is that the tests are worth 60% of your grade, but they are easy to do.

Thus is very much a teach yourself class, but he provides all the material necessary. The videos are great and the homework is great for practice and credit. He makes reviews that are really close to the Exam (definitely do them). You won't hear much from him besides the weekly announcements, but he's always available for a call.

Lots of homework

Took this class online. Not super hard if you keep up with the work. Most of the teaching is through YouTube videos, which can get a little annoying, but it's manageable. CramBetter helped a ton! Any time I was stuck, I'd find it there and it was explained in way better detail and actually made sense.
