One of the worst teachers. He teaches for 20-30 minutes of class, then the rest for us to "practice" on the textbook. His teaching is very boring and hard to concentrate.

Dan is the teacher who is preferred by students ones he teaches them.

Dan WILL assist you with any sort of problem (even outside the college) in case YOU ask him for help. And you WILL get a high mark if you WORK.

He take attendance seriously

He is very good professor for teaching how to do mathematic properly and using college level method.

However, if you study well and attend his class then you will gain respect from him. You require to show up all classes.

I have no idea why people left negative comments for Mr. Dan Janjic. Literally the most fair professor in Seneca. Gave super clear instructions for test. If you didn't pass or gain a good grade from his class, that only proves one thing which you DIDN'T study at all. If so you should just drop out and get a job because you won't survive afterwards

Amazing professor, his tests are exactly what he shows you in class. He does not record lectures because he expects you to attend class, which is a basic habit to acquire when in post secondary. Studying is a must to pass this course and its an easy A. Those who failed this course just didn't try hard enough and shouldn't be engineers.

He spends a large chunk of class complaining about covid and the textbooks that are used in class. the way he "teaches" is by showing a diagram and spending the entire class explaining it. got a question? dont plan on unmuting your mic to ask him because he finds that disturbing. waste of time to join his classes when the textbook teaches more.
