i love this professor he is so dinamic and also help me a lot i recomend him for clases becouse he dont talk to much stuped things and he tich the rigth things
highly recommend this professor is really good and has a clear knowledge of what he is doing and will tutor you after class until you understand the lesson and will prepare you for the compass test and for the midterm awesomeeeee
Amazing professor. I would go as far as to say that I highly doubt there is a prof at BMCC that can teach math better than he. If you take his class and don't pass, I will pay your tuition for that class. Actually I won't, but you'll pass anyway, so it won't matter. A+++++
Excellent teacher!! I hated math until I took his class. I wish he taught every level! This is one of the best teachers at BMCC!
Awesome teacher! He teaches clearly and efficiently.
I took 051 2 times the 1st*failed,and*2nd pass=) Glad i choose Dawes course. Though trough computer uses as resource, web assign to practice:in class/assignments+/reviews exercises step by step on the board very clear/.Be on time, take good notes,follow instructions = GUARANTEED YOU WILL PASS THE COMPASS. PROMISE YOU WILL LOVE MATH AFTER DAWES/051
Dawes is an exceptional math professor. He explains everything in a clear and concise manner ensuring that every student understands the concepts. His professionalism is above and beyond. The use of WebAssign in the class is an extremely helpful learning tool. I strongly urge any BMCC student who must complete 051 to enroll in Dawes's class
He is an excellent professor! I absolutely hate math and I did excellent on my remedial final because of him. I would recommend him to anyone who is trying to get through Math.
One of the best math teachers in BMCC by far !!! He may seem cocky at times but trust me he knows his material well and knows how to use it really good with web assign. My confidence in math was very low and he always encouraged me to do better, I'm glad I had him as a professor !!!
Great professor, he helped me pass the math test with his teaching. I really hate math, but he helped out a lot. He can be tough on you, but he means well.
Great Prof!!! Works very hard to help his students out. If you show that you care about passes he will do everything in his power to help you out and make sure you pass. I must say he was the best math prof in BMCC!!!
Prof Dawes is great! Very helpful and takes the time to make sure students understand the material. Took MAT51 during the spring with another prof and failed. Took it during the summer with Dawes and earned an A! Highly recommend him!!!
Made me feel comfortable with material that I didn't understand
Prof. Dawes made sure no one was lost in the class. He genuinely cares about all the student in the class and makes sure that everyone understands the material.
An excellent educator that persists with ensuring all his students are completely connected with each lesson of the class and their ability apply themselves in mathematic succeeds for future classes. Thanks you Professor Dawes !
One of the best teachers I ever had. Was a bit intimidating at the beginning but ladies and Gents, there is a method to his madness. Hang in there threw the first few days and you will see. Just gotta show him that you want it, he will teach you and you will learn... Thanks D. Dawes..!
dawes is an awesome teacher. i would recommend him to anyone. he cares about his students and has a very comprehensible teaching style.
Awesome Professor. I always say I am not a Math person, but with his help, I got an A in both classes. Based on conversations with my former classmates, I know they feel the same way about Professor Dawes. Will definitely recommend him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i really hate math that's why i was in remedial but prof Dale Dawes was a really good professor who made math understandable and enjoyable.i would and have recommended him to others.
Prof. Dawes is the best math professor I have taken at BMCC (I've taken 3 others). His style of teaching is exceptional, and his use of Webassign has helped me pass 051 (took it with 2/3 of the other profs. and never passed.) I currently take his 056 class, and will be taking his 206 class in the summer. I highly recommend him to all students.
I would definitely recommend professor Dawes. He is very helpful and makes sure you understand the material being taught. Very nice. The material he gave was extremely helpful. He goes over the homework in class and whatever we don't understand, he had our back. Again I would recommend him any day. If you want to pass your remedial exam, take HIM!!
Great prof, uses web assign which is nice and helpful system. Definitely recommend him for math classes.
strongly recommended for students who will like to take Math 206.
I hated math before taking prof. Dawes 056 remedial math class. My previous professors were terrible and thought if you didnt get the material well then tough! Prof. Dawes works hard to ensure the understanding of material. He wants and helps all his students to pass. His style of teaching kept me engaged because it was easy to understand !
I strongly recommend Professor Dawes, especially for remedial math. I have had two other professors in the past and they were not the best, and that is being nice. Professor Dawes was always willing to help. As well he was always persistent in making sure the class passed. And I did, finally.
Very Good Proffessor. You will do good if you put in the work.
This professor helped me understand math in a whole new level. He is very helpfull. If you are looking to pass you should choose this professor.
Professor Dawes is a great teacher. He will work his hardest to help you understand the problems. He really pushes his students to do the best inside and outside of the class. Oh and he is really patient with the students if they take awhile to catch on to something. Keep up the good work Dawes
I didn't understand much about algebra and math isn't my thing but professor Dawes has patiently went through every weak point of the class. Any problem that I've struggle with has became clear to me. Thank you for your help.
Most amazing math professor ever. I do recommend him. He explains each problem clearly and he will help you out with any of your questions. He's an amazing professor. That's all I can say algebra makes sense to me now. You just have to attend class and do the web assign and ask questions and you will pass the class!
Mr.Dawes is the teacher you want to have !! He is extremely helpful and Really make you understand the work. I really recommend him to everybody !!
I highly recommend Prof.Dawes 4 ur Mat051/056 instructor.He is very dedicated 2 his students,he goes over and beyond 2 encourage his students, and if u do as he asks,ur guarantee 2 pass dis coure. Good luck and best wishes.
Good teacher to have if you want to pass math.
This teacher is AMAZING!!!!! He was EXTREMELY helpful, made everything crystal clear and no matter how horrible you are at math, this professor could definitely help you out. Prior to this class, i really didn't like math. Now, i absolutely love it. If you're not sure which Math Professor you wanna choose, choose this one. You wont be disappointed.
This is truly one of the best teachers ive ever had. He's not only encouraging and motivated to help his students but his also caring and extremely friendly. He pushes you to work to your best potential.You really want to have him as one of your teachers!!!! It was thanks to him that i passed this course with really high grades to!im very thankful.
Professor Dawes was one of the best math professors I've ever had. He explained the work to us thoroughly and clearly. Also, he made excellent use of WebAssign. Between WebAssign, studying on your own, and Prof. Dawes, the class could be easily aced.
Let's say I' ve Taken 3 remidal and failed! But This guy is a great professor and so far one of the best, I would recommend him! I learned so much In so little time, his teaching method is so simple, you'll get the explanation right away! And he uses web assign which is more helpful than the book! I learned so much!I can't get over it! He's great!
Prof. Dawes is one of the best professors I had while attending BMCC..After every class he stayed w/ me for an hour and he would explain the work to where I was able to comprehend and able to pass the test..Thanks professor
Takes his time explaining new material. Very attentive to his students. Has great teaching methods, overall, GREAT teacher.
Professor Dale Dawes is an awesome professor. He is clear and concise about the material, he also is a good mentor he broke down a barrier I had for years since elementary about math. Now I'm a scholar when it comes to math. He taught me to use my mind rather than rely on human intervention.I recommend him for those who are struggling with math.
This is one of the best professor i ever had..I hated math with a passion specially Algebra and this professor made it so easy to me...i wish he would have teach Math 150 so i could be he student once again....i would rather use math xl instead of webassing much easier...I love this professor
Awesome teacher
Awesome professor, very helpfull!
Great professor very attentive of his students always makes sure the material is understood by everyone...everything he does is for the better of his students... loved that we didn't have to carry a textbook !
GREAT PROFESSOR !
Awesome professor! The use of WebAssign was very helpful. Math is my weakest subject and he made it very easy for me to understand and pass the course. Would recommend this professor to anyone who struggles with math.
Great professor! He always makes sure that all the students understand the material. He is very helpful and available for all the students. The WebAssign program for practicing problems online is really helpful and you do not need to carry around the textbook. I strongly recommend this professor.
Best professor ever. He breaks everything down in a way that even a 3rd grader would understand. He made me understand math. Also, MyMathLab was a great way of practicing what I learned,and it helped me prepare for the midterm and the final. I would recommend professor Dawes to everyone especially if they struggle with math.
Dawes is the best math professor that I ever met. He breaks down every problem in a very helpful and easy way in order to make students understand. He is ready to help at any time. We used an website called Webassign which is very helpful. Provides help and allow you to see your mistakes and break down the right answer. Take him & u will pass.
Professor Dawes is a excellent teacher. He interprets information better than any Math teacher I have had.
Professor Dawes really knows what he's talking about. He was beyond helpful and explained everything with detail. Was always willing to answer questions and take his time going through math problems. I had him for mat 051 and I made sure to get him for 056. If math isn't your thing, then you should definitely get prof. Dawes
Professor Dawes was the best math teacher I had so far. He took time to explain each problem with the easiest method possible and he took time to help us when we didn't understand the work. I highly recommend this professor if you really want to do well in math.
Dale Dawes was the best teacher that i ever have. He use is own technique to explain the subject.I have a choice to choose him for all my classes i will.Every students who are thinking to take Math class, choose him. Prof. Dale Dawes is the best. I love the way he teach.Everybody go for it,he is amazing.
first off, I want to thank Prof.Dawes,THANK U THANK U THANK U...I've taken this class 3-4 times and never got it until him, He made things realtivly easy to understand, after i took that finally, and he shook my hand and said congrats finally a professor knocked my math mental block down. TAKE HIM FOR 051 HE'S THE "TRUTH" AND hot..
Being that I took this class MANY semesters ago, I still have yet to encounter a professor like Dawes who takes a subject like MATH, as challenging as it is, and assists you in conquering it. Prof. Dawes is amazing and I would SEVERELY suggest you to take this class if you not only want to pass, but grasp an understanding of math.
GREAT GREAT GREAT.!! Its bein only 4days n i already know im going to past. Taking summer session so its a bit more tense but webassign n Prof.Dawes is just AWSOME.!
Best prof. Ever his teaching methods r super clear n he make the class get involved with eachother. He is always available to help after class. My fav prof my entire stay here at the school. TAKE HIM!!! U wont regret it
professor Dawes is a HOT math professor that loves teaching math He approachable and easy to talk to. he's also easy on the eyes.:)
Great professor who encourages questions. I would recommend him to anyone who struggles in math. You MUST attend class if you plan on passing. The class moves fast and it's hard to catch up if you miss a day. You're paying for it. Go to class!
Professor Dawes is an AMAZING math teacher and one that is RARE to find. I couldn't believe how well he can take math, as challenging as it is, and make it so easy to understand. He definitly is my favorite professor here and I reccomend him to anyone who struggles in math.
An amazing professor changed my view of math, teaches VERY WELL and VERY CALM and easy going but takes his class and work seriously.Understand and helps you so much on test reviews, you will love math after his class.
Going into another math class I expected it to be boring , with a teacher who I just couldn't understand. But Prof. Dawes was an awesome teacher, he explain math so much better than other teachers. If you want to understand math way better get Prof Dawes as your teacher, plus side there were some good laughs in class too.
I was horrible in math every year of my schooling. There was no one who could help me grasp the simple math concepts. That is until I took Prof Dawes class. He is an outstanding Professor.

Best I ever had. Very helpful and patient. Really make math easy to learn and understand.
MAT206 is a very intense class especially during the summer, however with the help of Prof. Dawes I was able to pass this class with flying colors.

Bet professor I've had since my returned to college.. He's helpful ..clear ..precise..and can tell he lives doing what he does ..never thought I.would understand and learn this math ..but thanks professor Dawes' teaching method.. I have the confidence and self esteem I sought after
The most motavational professor I've ever had. He makes sure that you feel like you can do it and prepares you twice as hard as you would yourself. Not a bad looker either!
The best math teacher i have had in my entire life, every single topic was clearer than ever to me, thanks to this professor, explains everything precisely, gives very good advice, cares tremendously about all his students, does not let anybody fall behind for any reason what so ever,if u think you suck at math he will make you love the subject.
Awesome professor, "is that clear" is asked a majority of the time. He does not want anyone feeling lost in his class. Gives his students hope, and other resources to get extra help if its needed. You HAVE to apply yourself, study, study, & do some more studying. overall i cant complain he is a great professor.
PROF DAWES IS AN AMAZING TEACHE. HE OOK HIS TIME TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE IS ONTHE SAME PAGE AND HIS METHOD OF TEACHING IS VERY CLEAR AND STRAIGHT TO THE POINT. I THOUGHT I WOULD HAVE HARD TIME WITH THIS TYPE OF MATH IN THE SUMMER BUT HE MADE IT EASY.I LOVE THE WEBASSIGN HW AND EVERYTHING ABOUT THE CLASS PLUS HE IS VERY NICE TO LOOK AT! TAKE HIS CLASS
Professor Dawes is a very good teacher. He speaks extremely clear and makes sure that if you do not understand what is being taught that he spends extra time explaining it. Overall he is one of the best professors I have ever had.
Best math professor ever! I understood everything from him and usually I have trouble understanding math problems. I highly recommend this professor to anyone taking MAT 051 or 056.
BEST PROFESSOR I HAD FOR MATH 051. EXPLAINS EVERYTHING CLEARLY AND HELPS YOU UNDERSTAND IT. I USED TO HATE MATH ALOT, BUT HE MADE THE CLASS FUN AND ENJOYABLE
PROFESSOR DAWES IS AWSOME, HE MAKES MATH EASY THEY WAY HE TEACHES AND UNDERSTANDABLE, AND SPEAKS CLEAR SO EACH OF HIS STUDENT WOULD UNDERSTAND AND HE IS VERY HELPFUL TOWARDS HIS STUDENTS AND HE WOULD REACH OUT TO WHO EVER NEEDSHELP, OVERALLWOULDRECOMMEND PROFESSOR DAWES HE'S GOOD AND YOU WOULDPASS HIS CLASS AND HAVE FUN IN HISCLASS!!

PROFESSOR DAWES IS THE BEST HE MAKES MATH SO EASY AND FUN! HE MAKES HIS STUDENT UNDERSTAND AND MAKE SURE HE IS CLEAR ABOUT IT, HE WOULD ALSO REACH OUT TO HIS STUDENTS SO THEY CAN UNDERSTAND THE WORK, HIS CLASS WAS FUN AND ENJOYABLE HE IS AN AWSOME PROFESSOR AND VERY HELPFULOVERALL I WOULD RECOMMEND PROFESSOR DAWES TO ANY STUDENT WHO NEED THIS CLASS
Professor Dawes was an amazing professor tha changed my life in math 051. my 2nd time taking it and just like the comments I read said-I PASSED MY EXAM WITH A 92! he won't let you down-believe in him and yourself. highly recommend. I'm taking him again for MAT 056. p.s. not bad to look at either.be in class. attendance is a grade.you won't be bored
PROFESSOR DAWES IS WHERE IT'S AT! IF YOU REGISTERING FOR ANY MATH COURSES AND THE INSTRUCTOR IS DAWES THEN YOU CLICK THAT COURSE BECAUSE YOU WONT REGRET IT. HE'S INTEGRITY IS THE DEFINITION OF PRECISION, HIS WORK IS CLEAR , UNDERSTANDING AND STEP BY STEP. DO THE RIGHT THING. PLUS WEBASSIGN IS A HELPFUL EDUCATIONAL TOOL
Take 051 w. Prof. D because he understands WHY you’ve ended up in the course to begin with. Show up/pay attention/ask questions/do the work,and you'll pass. Nothing is wrong with your brain,you’re on ratemyprof.com,you’ve made it to the end of this post without checking FB, now, don't set yourself up for failure by FAILING to register with Dawes!
Mr. Dawes will be among the best math instructors you've ever had. He's passionate about what he does, and will step out of his way to assist students at any time. His explanation of the materials is clear as water, allowing even the most uninterested student in class to comprehend the material. Great Professor overall.
BMCC requires all 051 student s to pass the same end of the year exam(CUNY Wide). Passing just the class final is not enough to pass the course.Don’t waste your time with a professor who can’t prepare you for this. Dawes teaches the material from the inside out,which is what everyone in this class NEEDS. If you need MAT 051, you need prof Dawes.
Prof. Dawes is thee best math professor BMCC has. point blank. he genuinely cares about his students passing and understanding the material. he helps you every step of the way. I'm thankful for having taken his class.
Mr. Dawes is a really cool and respectable teacher. I enjoyed every class that i went to with him as the teacher, and if u want a cool, awesome, rad and righteous math teacher who will be understanding, stern when needed, and considerable to any problem that you are facing, I can think of no one else in BMCC than this guy!!!!!!!!!!!!
Professor Dawes is a superb instructor, who will take you step by step in helping you comprehend basic algebra. If you've struggled with math in the past, Prof Dawes will show you more effective ways of understanding and remembering formulas. If you come everyday and always ask for help you will pass the class final and the CUNY final.
Dawes is the way to go when it comes to math. You will definitely pass. Point Blank.
At first I was nervous when I first entered the class because I felt the way the course was taught was kind of scattered brain until I realized the Professor was just preparing us, he definitely applied pressure in a mannerable way and instilled not only confidence within us but also skills to complete the math. I really root for DR.DAWES!
Do you need to pass this class? Take Dawes. He will prepare you for the CUNY final and will teach you everything you need to know the clearest way possible.
Young and motivated, he's willing to help his students all the way and gives his all. Taking his class was a pleasant experience because I understood everything he explained. Take Dawes if you want to pass.
Professor Dawes is extremely good math professor he teach us really really. Dawes know about his material and teach us from up to bottom, he takes his time something that other professor doesn't do.
Who can ask 4 a better math prof.Dawes is not only a very inspirational man 2 me,but also this is a prof. Who absolutely w/o a doubt loves teaching students math!He is attentive & helpful his way of teaching math is very clear,but if ur not sure he always explain different ways 4 u 2 understand.I'm very proud 2 say that Dale Dawes was my math prof.
Best professor in my two years at BMCC! I strongly recommend him because you not only will learn Math, but also you will be able to get a good great.I found his way of teaching Math very easy to understand and if you do not understand something he will explain it to you several times and in different ways if necessary.Glad that he was my professor.
Prof Dawes is the best math teacher I have ever had. He teaches so good you would understand math even if you hated it. I recommend him for every one and I would love to take his class all through my stay in bmcc.
I recommend this professor he is really great he never gives up on you his mission is to make sure no matter what that you pass im not so great at math he never gave up on me and aced my final he is what you need to pass
Best professor ever!! So hot first of all and he never gives up on you. He is always available and helps with anything very encouraging!! He is the best take him
Wonderful professor! I hate math with a passion got a 91 on my midterm a 81 on the in class final and a 88 on the cuny exam I took this class twice and professor Dale Dawes is definitely the best hands down as long as your willing to put in effort you'll do great !!
This is the BEST math professor I've ever had! He truly cares about his students and is willing to give his all to help you pass! I really recommend him! You won't regret it:)
AWSOME!! i must say i dislike math with a passion but Proff. Dawes made me understand it well. Best math profesor i have had in my entire life and i recomend!!!
Great Professor! Truly one of a kind. Takes care of his students and does a job well done. You will be satisfied with the grade you get, if you take his course.
Professor Dawes has got to be the best professor I have ever had! He's VERY helpful, clear, and does not move on until his class is all on the same page. I used to hate Math, and believe it or not...it's fun to me now. Thank you, professor!
He's a great professor who helped me like math a little more and I HATE math. I really didn't kno how to do slopes, linear equations, or quadratic equations cause i never understood dem & i was always scared of them but he made dem easy. I passed da cuny final w/ a 72%, midterm w/ a 74% & the final exam w/ a 73% He's sexy too LOL just do ur best :)
Professor Dawes cares about each and every student in his class. He gives more than one way to find the answer to a math problem where many teachers only offer "their way." He is a great teacher!
Prof. Dawes is the best professor I've ever had for math. I usually dont give out comments here but he's an exception. He helps his students and explain the lessons very well. Good thing I'll have him for precalculus this summer I. He was right when he said that we (his students) were in the right hands. Great job!
Prof Dawes is awesome. Great guy overall, very helpful with explanations. makes sure everyone is on the same page before moving on. Highly Recommend him. By the end of the semester you will be ready for that department final and confident about doing well
I have taken and failed this class 5 times. i took a 2 week class with Professor Dawes and passed with a 96 ! He is a great professor and i recommend him to all students that have the worst time with math. you will have 100 percent guarantee if you just focus and practice that you will pass.
I hated math I'm not good at it at all..I been taking algebra since high school and I never understood algebra I'm uin college now and I started high school in 2007 and we are in 2013 I been learning algebra for 6year and all my past teacher did not help me understand the math I took this class for 9day and passed with an 80% out of 100
He is a very good professor .he explain each & every single question in a different way.find the way that all student can understand easily.he is so kind .
I had taken this class twice before I took it with Prof. Dawes and I had never understand everything so clear like I did with him. In 2 weeks he mad e understand what in 2 semester I couldn't. I got a 96 in the test and I find it easy after Prof. Dawes. He cover everything and more in 2 weeks and make sure you understand. He is clear and helpful.
I attended the summer program and I meet Prof.Dawes who is a great professor,he was accessible to his students from day 1 and encourage contact when needed,he was such as being enthusiastic and interactive during class ad passionate about the subject, he is clear and encourage question and with the teacher style I pass my test with a 96% .
i am having MAT056 class with him.He is young and energetic, very clear and shows different ways to solve the math. he is very serious about about attendance and lateness. over all he is great. only thing i hate about him that he doesn't finish the class until the last second. this is good in sense but after 4 hours of class we get tired!
He is really good at math, he teaches how to do math in different ways.....he is the best! i would highly recommend to take his class....
Very Great Class Boosted My Math Skill And Knowledge.
Professor Dawes is a very good instructor, he takes his time to make students understand the course.
Professor Dawes is a great instructor, he tokes his time to help us and make us understand the course.
It was great wonderful
This was my first Math course in America and Prof.Dawes made the material clear and understandable to me. The WebAssign system was accessible and also easy to understand and work with. Overall this class was an enjoyable and beneficial experience.
Excellent Professor. Clearly taught the material. Excellent use of Web Assign. He will make sure you understand the work, just need to be patient and let him teach you. Overall, you will enjoy this class if you give it a chance! Promise!
Great Teacher. Patient, very helpful and always was able to answer my questions. Even though English is not my first language it was easy to understand everything he explained on class.
Professor Dawes really helped me understand elementary algebra. He was very clear and amenable. Worked with the class to make sure we really understood the material.Gave us great tips to passing the exam. I would definitely recommend professor Dawes to anyone that needs direct structured approach to math. Great teacher.
I took a summer algebra class that was a hybrid of online and in class work. The lectures were great! He made it easy to understand what to expect on the exam and how to deal with it. Highly recommended!
I've taken this class last semester and I failed with my previous professor, I asked myself how would I possibly intake the material for me to pass in 5 weeks if I couldn't get it in 5 months. Than I met my new math professor and just by day 1 it changed my view in math over all, TAKE HIM!!
He is awesome! We took him in a class with computers. He can explain all your questions and is very considerate. He really makes sure you're ready for the final.
This professor although no one has heard of him from LIU he is a really great professor he is very considerate. HE IS A MUST TAKE professor helps out and makes math great and the way he teaches is great we use most of online tools and is very liniant. He is a great professor.
Amazinggg!! He makes sure you understand everything before he moves to the next topic, very clear and really cares about his students. Take him!!
Best professor ever. He is very very helpful. He knows what he is doing, very clear. And he really wants his students to pass the CUNY EXAM. I would definitely recommend him 100%. Best professor!!!
Professor Dale Dawes is so helpful.I thought I would never pass this class.but, soon as I was about to give up, he was right there to pick me back up. He a great teacher. He is good at what he do.
Professor Dawes was honestly an excellent teacher. He explains everything very well and is extremely helpful. I wish I had him again next semester but I definitely recommend his class.
Excellent professor. Very clear, Makes sure you understand and puts you in a comfortable environment to ask for help. Definitely take this professor if your serious about passing the course.
He will definitely take care of you very well. Gentle, regardful, detailed. I loved math after his class.
Professor Dawes is the best math teacher i've had so far. I started the semester, nervous, slightly scared of my abilities to keep up with the lessons due to my ignorance and fear towards general math - I finished feeling confident, and interested in the subject. Prof. Dawes teaching method is effective, clear, and e z to learn - also, hes cool.
Professor Dawes is awesome. I started the class being deathly afraid of math, I could never pay attention in HS math because it was so boring and hard. I finished this class a lot more confident in my knowledge of this language and have become more interested in the subject. The class is well organized and his teaching style is effective and easy.
Great professor, from start to finish. I say this with confidence and honesty, if you want to get out of the mat051, be sure to take Dr. Dawes class. 100% you will pass every exam and the cuny final with no trouble. But of course, you must do study on your own time but he will clarify everything. I thought i would never get out of that class.
I highly recommend prof. Dawes, truly an amazing teacher. Take his class, do the work and you will pass the final exam.
Prof. Dawes is the best math Prof. ever I used to not like math, I was afraid of my final exams, cause TBH math was the hardest subject for me. I took his class & started to see math in a different way. He is very clear & organized, you will understand everything he explains. I highly recommend to take his class your life will be a lot easier.
Fantastic!!!
best math professor, he explains everything and makes the class feel comfortable to ask questions. He also takes the time to help you with anything you don't understand.
He teaches way too fast. he teaches shortcuts and easier ways to do the problem instead of teaching it the standard way. If you want to learn math and the basic steps, I suggest you do not take him. He was a little too confident in himself which I did not like. Good thing I passed on my own. Thanks to tutoring.
Hybrid course. Highly disagree with the previous post. Prof. Dawes explains everything thoroughly & if you don't understand he gladly explains. Great professor, never thought I would understand math but he helped me. Definitely recommend!
Dawes for President !
Prof Dawes just has a way of teaching, that even myself, someone who can't grasp the easiest things, understood with his teaching. He is really patient & takes the time to go over every question EVERYONE has. This guy really wants you to pass. He is there from the beg. of the semester until you walk in to take that test answering ques. Def recom. !
Excellent Professor I really recommend you taking him because you will not regret it. He is very helpful and is always there when you need him. His teaching methods are excellent and you will immediately understand what he is teaching.
He's a great professor. He makes you enjoy math. Helps all he can to get you to pass. I enjoyed the class.
It was my fourth time taking this subject. Second time I had professor Dawes failed because of two points. Fourth time decided to register for his class. All I can say is that he's an awesome professor. He has his own way to teach and is always pushing the students to pass and understand every topic. The best math professor at bmcc right now.
He is the BEST Math professor I have ever had!!! I was terrible in math all my life until I met Professor Dawes. Thank you!! seriously!!! :D
Excellent professor! He is truly committed to what he does. If you want to pass, this is definitely the class to take. Will be taking my next math course with him next semester if possible ! :)
If you are looking to understand Math Prof Dawes is the one to help you. He really takes time to make sure you understand the work. I was the worse when it came to math, then I took prof Dawes and I actually like math now.
At first looked forward to course but as it progressed, the instructor went extremely fast. Though appreciated use of technology, placed too much emphasis on such rather than actual instruction (too short). Required plenty of self-study, which is completely fine but educational institutions are supposed to be places where one feels supported&guided
BEST MATH PROFESSOR EVER! He was recommended to me by a friend and I'm so glad that I listened. He's extremely patient, and has a way of breaking things down to make things simple for you to understand. I'm really bad at math but he took the time to help me. If you still need help go to his office hours. Its worth it trust me! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
I took his class Mat 051 one semester. I had heard great things about him. He is a great professor. He will work with you until you understand the material. Seriously the best math prof. at BMCC. No doubt. I highly recommend him.
He is very clear and helpful he makes a effort and really cares if his students pass i hate math but he makes it so can understand i would have never passed if it wasnt for him
One of the best math professors I've ever had. I hate math but he broke things down so it was easy to understand. Without him, I couldn't have passed the final exam. I highly recommend him when taking a math course.
If you want to get out of Math 051 then I strongly suggest you take his class he's extremely helpful and he makes sure you understand the material before I took his class I took math 051 3 times! But when I was placed in his class I was relieved and was confident to take the final ...seriously take his course to get the help you need!
Great professor
Pro Dawes is a good teacher. He make sure that the class is actively in tune with lesson that he is teaching. Also the math that is given challenges your ability to solve and if anytime you need help he is always there to make sure your understanding. What makes Prof Dawes a even better is that he cares about his students. Great Class
Awesome awesome professor. I understood everything. Mr. Dawes knows his thing, and since the class was hybrid most of our work was online so I knew my grade right from the start. Just make sure you come to class on time!! and do his work. You'll be good.
Great Prof. Highly recommend. Easy exam if you do and review the practice he gave before the exam.
Due to my absence from High School for over 7 years, I was frighten that my rusted math skills will make it difficult to cope with the requirements. To my surprise though, Professor Dale Dawes had set up an unprecedented way of teaching. A combinations of outstanding lectures and online web access, made this class one of the best I have ever taken!
Lord, this man is so gorgeous. I was so bothered by his beauty but it motivated me to stick with this Math thing and I ended up doing really well in his class. He's a great professor. He has a DEEP understanding of his student's needs and leaves you yearning for more of those BIG numbers. I would take him... again... and again... and ... again.
Prof. Dawes is one of the best math prof at BMCC , take his class and you'll definitely learn everything you need to know and in order to pass his exams. Very helpful just ask questions if you dont understand
You can tell he wants you to learn and I do agree he is a good professor. I just wish he was a bit more patient and not too fast.
Awesome professor. but u really need to on time .if u r even late by 5 min then u will b losing ur attendence .
Prof. Dawes is a true asset to BMCC is also a really great math teacher who knows how to utilize resources such as webassign and internet programs to effectively teach. The class is well organized - the materials that were presented to us and used for HW were very relevant to the test and quizes that we had to take. Prof. Dawes is the man for Math.
He's a great math professor and wants you to really learn. You have to be on time everyday and pretty much listen to what he teaches in class. He explains it thoroughly and breaks it down step by step so there is absolutely no way you would be confused by his instructions. If you try hard enough you should at least get an A.
I took his class from 056 to 206 in 2013!He is the BEST!He is really really....very nice and kind! He likes and respects all his students whoever you are not a native English speaker. Take him!!! you will Never regret!!!!!! I had a wonderful time in his class! I love this guy!
Amazing professor. Explanations are crystal clear. He will cover everything thoroughly and cares deeply about his students.
Listen , if you suck at math and really want to pass remedial and move on with your life , i would say the F word but let's keep it professional but eff with professor dale Dawes, he would make you understand math ! I would not be here waisting time typing this it is worth it and he is more than great , god bless this man i got a 92 at the finals !
Prof. Dawes knows his work really well. Although he is a bit strict, but a really helpful professor. If you want to get an A, sure you have to work hard.
He is the best professor that i know in BMCC. He helps you a lot when ever you need. His class is fun and easy class. i recommend this professor if you wants to learn and pass the class. He is funny and a friendly person. for my Course 51 i didn't used any textbook.
Awesome!! Would deff take again
He's the best Math Profesor I ever had. Take him and you are never going to regret it.
He's willing to help as much as you're willing to invest. He's pretty laid back and he doesn't mind a million and one questions. Go to his office hours and he'll really break everything all the way down if you need him to.
The best PreCalc professor you can ever have. There is some self-teaching yourself in this class, although he goes over most of the topics that need to be discussed and the most important ones. Highly recommend him! Do all your work, and you'll be fine. Took PreCalc once and got an F, this time around I'm getting an A, thanks to Professor Dawes.
I absolutely love the way he teaches. I transferred and I wish I could go back and take all my Math classes with him. He's so inspirational and he carries himself with so much class. He's also very handsome, a work of art.
usually have the hardest time with math. This was my 2nd time taking this class, and I regret not taking Mr dawes first. He knows his stuff. Extremely clear instruction. Encourages his students to work their hardest. A lot of homework, but if i didnt have as much i wouldnt understand the material as much as much as i do. Take him, u wont regret it
Professor Dawes is a great professor , he makes everything so easy , all you have to do is show up to his class and do his online assignments! They is my second time taking MAT51, I'm happy I had a good teacher this semester... I've passed my Finals with a 96!!!!!! 96!! And passed his class with a B- . I definitely don't regret it
Dale Dawes is one of the best Math professor I have ever taken! He is very helpful, makes everything very easy and will always answer and help his students understand everything and pass the class with an excellent grade! Plus he is funny and makes his lectures very interesting. I RECOMMEND PROFESSOR DAVES 100%

Professor Dale Dawes is the best professor I have ever had.
The BEST professor I ever had. He will teach you everything. THE BEST OF THE BEST.
I took Math 51 in the fall and failed, the professor was awful, he couldn't teach anything. Then I found Professor Dawes. He broke everything down and explained every step of the process. I got a 96 on the Cuny final, I got 1 question wrong. He is an amazing professor and I highly recommend him. I would totally take him again. Thank you Professor.
Great teacher! Helped out greatly with my success in passing the CUNY MAT51 Final Exam.
Took prof. Dawes twice, once for a remedial math course and the second for pre-calculus. Great professor and very clear grader. Both times he used web assign which I did homework, quizzes and exams on. Gives lots of chances to improve grade. Overall great math professor and explains thoroughly.
Great professor. I would deff take him again. Best math prof ever. Easy class if you do the homework and the practice exams.
Love how clear he was !! I suggest you to take his class he's a very helpful teacher.
great professor... if you do all your works .its easy to pass..
Not good.
It was an hybrid course. He used to post online homework s on web-assign. He gave us 4 exams. and dropped the lowest one. his 3rd exam was an online take home test and before each exam he would post 2 review exams. It was an easy A and didnt use the book at all. He really amazing and would help you at any cost. Attendance is a must in his class.
Prof. Dawes has a way of explaining the material in a way that allows you to actually learn & understand it. As long as you show up & do the online work you'll pass the exams with flying colors. He teaches the hard stuff first so that when it comes to the easy parts you've actually already learned it. I would take any other math course with him.
I gave a '5' for easiness because I had previous training in Trigonometry, College Algebra and other math courses beforehand, the material itself is rather challenging. Professor Dawes tells you on the first day of class what you need to do to succeed. If you do your homework, attend class, and use the resources he gives you, expect to do well.
His h/w assignments messed up, because he assigns something you did not do in the class ( something that he did not explain at all). I expected this professor to be the best according to reviews, but he is the worst one i had out of my all math prof. P.S my GPA is 3.7 so I'm not the lazy one of students.
Very bad. Does not explain well at all. Expectations of this Pr. was much higher. Textbook is essential, you will need to read it in order to understand the subject since he doesn't explain anything.
I feel like I am teaching myself after every class. However, he does give plenty of resources for us.
His exams consist of 30 to 37 questions. No matter how perfect you know math, by the end you brains regrets to function ... Would not suggest him
I expected him to be soon much better , according to this reviews and rating
All one need to do well is just ask for help. We meet 1x/week & homework & some quizzes are online. He covers everything necessary in class & is a true teacher, not just mathematician & offers supplemental videos & aides as he understands different people learn better in different ways. He goes out of his way to make time for students out of class
Prof. Dawes was amazing! His explanations are always clear and he answers questions perfectly. His method of teaching is usually giving homework first and then explaining, which i didnt like, but as the semester goes by you start to get the hang of it. Overall, as long as you do the work and listen in class its pretty much very easy to pass
Best professor I've ever encountered by far! In college there's a lot of professors that you meet and they just teach because they love the subject. Professor Dawes teaches because he wants his students not only to learn the subject but to master it as well. I've never loved math before I met him. By far the best professor I will ever meet.
Best professor I've ever met in college ! He's so nice and teaches really well. In high school I was barely passing math and HATED it with all my heart. I repeated the same math class 4 times. Then I met Professor Dale Dawes in college who taught the curriculum so well I passed the class and got a 96% on the Final! I'm so greatful for having him.
very good Professor, i will recommend students to take his class
10/10 one of the best prof(Too many opportunities for a good grade)
I took the class this fall and prof Dawes, made it an interesting class for all the students. He also provided us with a lot of resources on webassign and also other sites. I would definitely take his class again.
THIS CLASS WAS ONE OF THE CLASSES I WAS WORRIED ABOUT BUT IT TURNED OUT TO BE VERY HELPFUL. THE HOME WORKS MIGHT BE A LITTLE LENGTHY BUT THEY HELP A LOT FOR THE TESTS. THE PROFESSOR USES A VERY HELPFUL WEBSITE THAT LETS YOU TRACK EVERYTHING. HE IS ALSO VERY HELPFUL AND DOES WANT TO HELP YOU ACHIEVE AN A IN HIS CLASS. HE ALSO DROPS YOUR LOWEST TEST.
He gives you a 5 minute grace period in the morning, just in case you're going to be late. If you exceed that grace period, call up a friend in the class or text them that you are going to be late. If you ever need to hand in a late homework or assignment, it's all computer based by the way, then just click the extend submission button. Very nice.
Professor Dawes took the time to explain the content of each subject area of precalculus he taught. He emphasized certain areas and rephrased and explained them to signal to you that they were important and that you should pay attention to them. He is helpful, thorough, and clear in his teaching. He is also fair and wants you to succeed.
I am one of his students at LIU. He is really good in making things clear and always takes his time in explaining them. He is also fair with grading even though his is really strict with attendance. Overall he is a good prof and would definitely take again.
He was always there to help if needed. Wants you to pass the class as much as you do, if not more. You must pay attention, or he will call you out for being on your phone or focusing elsewhere. Participate in class, put forth some effort, and do the reviews for the exams and you can almost assuredly expect a good grade.
Very good professor! He goes really fast in the lecture but will take time to help you understand the material if you ask. Very available via email and webassign. Do the hw and watch the videos and practice other versions to help understand class. He cares about the students and you can attend his other classes to make up a day or for extra help.
The finest man that ever lived ladies and gentlemen. Don't worry about attendance being mandatory. There's no way you'd wanna miss one day of his class. He makes math tolerable but yet unbelievably fun and easy to comprehend. He's a blessing and a gift.
I'm a music major excited about taking math classes that I loathed 18 years ago. He gives you every opportunity and resource possible to help you understand the lessons. My only advice is..."Just do what he says!" and you will not only pass with a high grade but you will do it with actual knowledge of the material. #HardWorkDedication.
Professor Dale Dawes is an incredible and amazing professor. He is a fair grader. He cares for his students and understands students situation. He is not only one of the best professor at BMCC, but best professor in the World. I would definitely take him again. BMCC is lucky to have a professor like him. He makes everything easier for the students
The professor cared for his students and wanted each and every one of us to excel in the class and move forward with our college education. He also wanted to make sure that we all understood each and every concept and made it easier to understand.
One of the best professor so far, even taking him next semester again. He's very straight forward and knows what he is doing.
Professor Dawes is truly one in a million. He cares about his students, he allows us to be active and his methods of us learning is hard work yes but u are guaranteed to excel once you follow his guidelines and methods in which he allows us to learn and understand not only for the class but a lifetime . I have learned so much,he is truly amazing.
Professor Dawes is amazing, he helps students in every way possible. I would take him again.
Prof. Dawes is an excellent professor to have. On top of being a solid teacher, he goes above and beyond for his students and helps them in any way he can. Definitely recommend his class.
Professor Dawes is amazing! If you need to take mat56 he's the one to go. Although the course is hybrid (which means you meet once a week and the rest is online) he's still a great professor. He will give you a lot of options to study from like videos and you can also message him if you have any questions. Only need to buy webassign for like $80
Professor Dawes is amazing! If you ever need to take math course, he is the professor to take. He is the best math teacher in Bmcc. Math 051-1204
If you are reading this, then stop reading and come back after taking his class to read rest the of part. He is an incredible professor. I have no words to describe him. Just Excellent, Super, Amazing, Talented and a professor who understand students situations. Very fair grader.
Real awesome teacher!
Great professor!
In my opinion Professor Dawes was an excellent teacher. He knew all the material like the back of his hand. He didn't teach one way to do a problem he taught us multiple ways. He gave everyone in my class the tools necessary to pass this class and if they did not it wasn't lack of teaching it was lack of effort. Great job Mr Dawes
Professor Dawes is an amazing math professor. That is it. If you want to learn math and do it properly, he's the man to teach that. As a person, however, it's different. He picks on you even if you stop paying attention for a second and sometimes it's arbitrary and feels extremely insulting as a college student. Other than that, he's great!!
Fantastic professor. Teaches everything so well.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! Prof Dawes made math Easy and explains everything in detail. Replies to emails immediately This is a Hybrid course so you'll do most of the assignments online You should pass the class as long as you pay attention and push yourself and ask questions Don't buy textbook until first day of class HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Great Professor. I've taken remedial math multiple times and I finally found a professor that helped me pass. Nice guy, great study lectures.
My experience with this class was very well. I was never interested in math, nor have I ever found myself enjoying it. This professor makes remembering formulas easy and simple. He makes the effort to go out of his way to make sure his students fully understand the work so we can reach success. I strongly recommend this professor to anyone.
Professor Dawes is a stellar professor to say the least. He's very clear when he lectures and is always beckoning for student participation. His tests aren't too hard if you study. Definitely recommended. Besides the fact that he's a Giants fan he's probably the best professor I've had at BMCC thus far. #CowboysNation
He's a great teacher and a great dude. Ask him about the relevancy of a topic to real life and he'll have no problem providing you with an excellent example. It helped me to know WHY we were learning something instead of just mechanically memorizing nonsense.
Hes awesome. Wants to make sure you understand topic before moving on. will give extra quizzes if he feels like you dont understand. Wants you to ask questions. Lots of work so you can bring grade up and practice. Is funny and allows late work sometime. Nice. Best math teacher ever. gets to know his students. just beyond words.
If you see this professor don't run and signup for his class. This would be one the best decision you will ever make. This class can be esay if you just put in a little work. Dr Dawes is one of best professor !!
He is a very brilliant man
The class was a hybrid course which was convenient. It allowed me to still ask questions while in class and gave me time to work on assignments on my own at home. The videos and resources on webassign were helpful, so make sure you actually watch them. Dr. Dawes is very approachable and will help you if you reach out to him. Go to his office hours!
Dr. Dawes is literally the best math professor I have ever had. He is amazing at breaking down the material and explaining it in a simple way. My class was a very fast hybrid so we werent in class a lot, but no class time was wasted and I always felt prepared. He cares and wants you to pass his class. He gives you every opportunity to get an A.
Professor Dawes makes it so easy for you to pass this class, but you got to put in the work. we met once a week but he gives you the option to attend his other classes if you miss your class. He gives alot of homework but enough time to complete them. If you dont understand a topic you can go to his office hours.
Professor Dawe's is a clear professor. If you study and do the work you will do great in this class! I'm not a math person but he makes sense! His homework really makes you understand the lectures. He's a solid teacher
He is a very good professor. I loved his class and he explains the lecture in a way that you could really understand.
This professor should be among the top professors at bmcc, his grading is very clear he gives you every opportunity to pass his class. Attendance is mandatory unless if you are sick or something , He is very strict with attendance so you have to show up to class on time. Easy class if you are serious.
He's the best.
Professor dawes is great. I am terrible when it comes to math. It is my weakest subject. It takes me a while to really retain the mathematical concept or information. Professor dawes really tried his hardest to make sure everyone understood the concept. He genuinely wants everyone to pass. What a great person! I highly recommend him.
Awesome teacher! Lots of HW! The Pre exam tests are just like the real tests so just study those well.
This professor is absolutely amazing! Despite being a straight A student, I have always struggled with math. The way he explains allowed to understand the material. His priority is for you to learn, and I always felt comfortable asking questions. And unlike many other professor at BMCC that talk down on the students, he is very respectful.
Professor Dale very helpful. Take him, you won't regret. He gives so many chances to pass the class. He is great! His math class is the best you can wish!!!
Can be intimidating at first and seems very authoritative, but in reality he just wants you to be focused and keep up with the lesson so he will call on you if you're not following. Very understanding and fair grader. He's not trying to trick you, he will say this and it's true. Lots of hw but he gives ample opportunity to improve your grade.
I would recommend this professor, but I wouldn't recommend taking a hybrid course in the summer/winter. Just don't do it; you'll have assignments due every single day and you'll wonder where half of your summer went. But Dawes has an interesting teaching style (you'll see what I mean if you take him) that keeps you on edge. He's a chill professor.
If youre horrible at math, here is the professor you need. Gives every opportunity to succeed, goes above and beyond for his students, and pushes you to improve. If you do your best, you cannot fail. Very clear on expectations and actually cares. Tough but fair. Explains problems/solutions clearly based on you; so pay attention and do the work.
here is the truth i am taking him now he is not good. if you do not believe me see his board when you take him. i know your will remember my comment. the math lab is your place now because he does not teach good. he do not explain everything you need to study on your own.
Professor Dale Dawes is an amazing teacher. I took his hybrid class for Calculus, we used webassign for quizzes, homework and test. Also, he uses video lectures, practices questions and forums. I definitely recommend this professor because he is patient and he goes beyond to help you pass the class, and also, he aims to make you understand math.
i was made to believe i was a poor student in math until i took professor Dawes. If you a hardworking student and want that A and at the same time learn all material the easy way, dont hesitate to take HIM.
He is a great professor, he makes sure you understand and gives you lots of resources to master the material and pass the class as the use of webassign. Just participate in class and ask questions if you don't understand something. You get to have quizzes and practice exams, if you do good in those then sure you will pass the real exams.
If you are someone who is responsible and can study by your own you will do great. I took 206 hybrids with him and we were provided all the resources to be successful. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to excel in Math. Great Professor.
I took a hybrid class with him for both precal with an A and calculus an A minus. You just have to do the assignments on time and show up for classes. You determine your grade, if you complete all assignments which are easy just time consuming thats a big part of your grade. He also gives take home quizes and take home exams.
Get ready to work! Had him for Stats /Algebra. HE DOES NOT & WILL NO BABYSIT YOU! You HAVE to do the work in order to pass. Its a lot of stats work, if you do REALLY good in class and mess up on the midterm and final he'll pass you but you would have to get at least a 65 or higher for him to bump you up if not you're screwed.
Learning under professor Dawes was truly an experience. It was an emotional rollercoaster. Dawes requires a lot from his students. He wants you to show up for yourself and try your hardest. He will not leave you alone. ASK him questions! In class and out of class! Always ASK! Even if he seems annoyed. Fight the urge to give up! You will succeed!
Doctor Dawes was a good Math professor. I needed the push and he always pushes his students to try their best. He does make sure you want to pass, it gets intense but he gives you the help to try and pass. Can be a bit difficult to deal with but overall he is a good man.
This class was calculus 1.5. He decided to put calculus 2 material towards the ending of the semester. Then proceeded to put that material in the final. I understand wanting to challenge students. But, this isnt Columbia. Its BMCC. If a prof wants to provide such academic rigor just create a math honors course then. Then, there was 5 lab projects
Professor Dawes is a really good professor and genuinely wants all his students to pass. He provides a lot of resources for his students as well as takes the time to explain anything you need help understanding in the class and out of class too.
Very caring Professor. He made the material easy to understand for most of the class. If you pay attention and you do your homework without cheating you will get most of the things he will give on the test. He made class fun and interactive. He was not always easy to talk to though, but clearly had great energy.
Dr. Dawes is an amazing math professor. I took his hybrid 301 course after a bad experience with another prof. I'm not going to lie and tell you it's a walk in the park, he makes you work for the grade. However, he CARES about making sure you do well. Lectures are actually useful for understanding, and classes are enjoyable. Highly recommended!
Professor Dawes is great. All homework and tests are due on WebAssign. He is extremely helpful and always available when you need him. All you need to do is keep an open communication with him, and ask if you need help. He will give you plenty of chances to get an A in the class, even though the material covered is pretty hard. Would recommend!
Well, a great professor. I recommend you take him if you don't like Mat; he makes you like it.
Dawes does not care about his students, despite constantly saying he does. He has a new assignment due almost every day, including weekends. The work takes hours to complete, and if you ask for help, he'll just keep repeating "go to WebAssign", which is where all of the work is. Overall, he is a poor professor and if you want to pass, avoid him.
This professor gives homework every single day without teaching the whole lesson . How are you going to give us homework without giving us more information about the lesson . Literally making my life so miserable . This man is stressing me out
PRO: Very professional and punctual. He knows his stuff. Clears steps you don't understand. CON: Somewhat condescending in mannerism. He stayed past class time often to finish (took long to answer problems). We learned mostly on Webassign. Emailing was a hit or miss. A LOT OF HWK. His course is INTENSIVE, so if you have obligations, AVOID.
Dr. Dawes tells you from minute one that his course is intense. He is upfront, no-nonsense and gets back to you promptly. He gives you the resources and opportunities to succeed in his class, but makes sure students understand their grades directly reflect their work ethic. If you work hard you will do great in his class. Solid Professor.
This professor gives a huge amount of homework (something every day, YES weekends too). He says he wants to help us all succeed and do great but he appears to be kind of rude when someone asks a question, both in class and by email. Has had an attitude every class, even said "stop talking" to students several times. Don't like his vibe.
Don't ever take this professor guys you will regret it. all he does is gives a lot of homework without any explanation and does not give good grades for good effort. this professor is not worth it. waste of your money and your time.
Work hard and you will do well. This prof. is intense, but honestly I really liked him and he inspired me to do well. If you're not prepared to work hard don't take this course. But loved this prof. and he is also very funny. I recommend him to those who are up for a challenge.
Professor does not foster an environment conducive to learning. Uses expensive proprietary software. Does not teach the material well enough to finish the work in a reasonable timeframe. Does not directly answer questions from students.
Professor does not teach the class at all. You get a lot of homework every day with minimum help. Professor expects you to know EVERYTHING in the class. Didn't feel like I learned anything in this calss.
If you do your homework, you should pass every exam; every assignment has videos linked to them to help you.
The professor isn't bad, however as it is a hybrid class, get ready to do a lot of self learning as you are signing up to be self-taught.With homework due every day, take note that exams and tests are in person with little to no help within a short period of time. Goodluck
This review is for MAT 302. Taking this professor was a terrible experience and I will suggest to stay off. He barely teaches the work, spends a long time on unnecessary work and then bombards you with loads of homework that is due everyday. Get ready to do a lot of self learning that probably wont pay off based on the way he grades.
Nice guy and good at teaching
Professor Dawes is a great professor that cares for his students, he teaches in a fast pace and gives lots of homework. Do your work on time and focus on the class and you'll be fine.
