Dan goes all out for his students!
Dan is an amazing prof. Take any course you can with him, he's the best!!!
Such a great teacher and a great person. A huge credit to the UofL and their Management department (their lucky to have you). Never change buddy.
AWESOME and the BEST ever prof.!!!!!ó
Makes up for the other horrible prof in the faculty of management! Dan is a sweet guy, take his consulting class

The most amazing prof I've ever had
HE IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!
Take anything you can with this guy!!!!
Easliy the best MGT prof. Cares about the students and wants them to succeed. Tons of knowledge both theory and real world. It's too bad there are not more prof's like Dan, students might actually learn something and enjoy class. A definite A+ teacher. If you can take his class.
great guy, totally cares about his students. the u of l and it's students are lucky to have him. i thought the tests were fair. he is funny too for this class, as far as i remember.
Hands down the best prof i've ever had! Dan gives so much to his students. He really changes lives and allows you to realize your full potential. The world would be a different place if there were more Dan Kazakoff's.
Dan is easily the best professor I have had the pleasure of taking classes with. He is throughly student-oriented, knows his material, and is genuinely concerned that his students not only learn the material, but also understand its practical application. Take as many classes with Dan as possible!!!
Hands down the best prof in the Faculty of Management. An admirable individual who genuinely cares about those he teaches. Any Management students should take at least one class from him.
I heard wonderful things about Dan before taking his class, and they were all confirmed. His credibility and experience are a refreshing change after taking so many classes from 'academics' who have never applied their course material. Watch out for the tests, though; very comprehensive (but fair). Marking scale makes an A nearly impossible.
The marking scheme is crazy? I agree with that. But the test questions are not difficult. Everything are from the note and pic from the textbook. Even if u give the wrong answer, he may guve u 8/10, Just spend more time. I got an A in his class though (unfortunately no A+). if you got 96 and up, that's an A
Dan is one of the rare individuals who is a born leader, teacher, mentor and friend to students. I would recommend him over all others. Taking a class from him makes you believe that there are still people who really care about their impact on others' lives. Take as many classes from Dan as you can.
Dan's the man! Great guy, genuinely interested in all his students, fabulous teacher, really challenges you, but tries so hard to help you as well. Not very easy, but well worth all the effort! One B from Dan is worth 4 A's from somebody else!
fantastic prof! knows his stuff and communicates his stuff well. Very nice and approachable guy! Take the professional consulting clss with him and u have no regrets. Study ur notes and u are good to go!!!
After a year with Dan in IME... I think that I can fairly say that he is an EXCELLENT professor. He is someone that takes pride in the success of his students and our succcesses become his. He is helpful in every wat imaginable and he has a very diverse knowledge set!
a class act it would be nice if he could be more specific on what he's going to be testing on because it's hard to memorize everything.
Thumbs Up!! “He has been named by MacLean's University Guide as "What's Hot- Popular Profs" at the University of Lethbridge, in 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006”. So guys no further explanations required.
Unreal guy! One of the best Profs I've ever had in University! Highly recommended. Just go to class, he pretty much tells you what to know for exams, marks easy on project! Makes the info interesting.
Getting an A is not easy in his class since an A is a 94,there is a lot of material to memorize and the tests are 100% all written. Regardless hes an awesome teacher and if you listen very carefully in class he prety much tells you whats going to be on his exams, to the point where you know the exact questions.
Great teacher
By far the best professor I have ever had. I would recommend taking ANYTHING from him and actually making an attempt to get to know him. Not only is he an awesome teacher, he is a great person.
Dan is probably the best prof who ever existed. He is understanding of students needs but he challenges you to work hard and do better than you ever thought you could. He is also encouraging and funny. I think the fact the he has a group on facebook in his honour called "I heart Dan Kazakoff" says everything...I would recommend him as a prof!!
Simply the best prof ever!
great guy!!!
BEST PROF EVER
Best mgt prof you will probably every have.
Even at 8:00am it was an excellent class, great guy, lots of help, entertaining, and genuine. A true hero in post-secondary education. Someone to truly look up to. If you have the opportunity to take a class with Dan, DO IT!
Dan is great. The UofL needs more professors like him. The world needs more professors like him. Tests require alot of preparation but he marks very very fairly. He is a great guy!
Amazing Prof, truly inspiring!
Quite honestly, Dan changed my life. He is an inspiration to the world, not exaggerating. Dan single handily made my academic career more then just getting a degree. He genuinely cares about his students and you individual lives. He is the reason the Theory into Practice program is what it is. Thanks for the amazing year.
2008-2009 Teacher of the Year, what else needs to be said?
Dan is literally the best professor I have had, I never once skipped his 8am class because I actually respected him too much to do so. He is such an amazing person, and he actually adds value to getting a degree.
Best prof ever. The class isn't easy but it's not hard either. His grading scheme is insane but it doesn't affect most people since he is such a great prof. 8am sucks but most people were on time. He is the type of guy that you feel bad if you show up late. Not a morning person? take it in the fall because you don't have to heat up your car!
The IME program is Dan's baby: be in it, and you'll be in with him. It's an amazing program which reflects its amazing creator. The grading scale is insane, but he determines the final marks. Work hard and you won't be disappointed. Take this class, cross your fingers for a good group, and buckle yourself in. Dan will blow your mind.
Dan knows consulting because he used to be one. He has insights that other teachers wouldn't have. He goes over almost exactly what is on the tests. Insane marking scale, but work hard and you'll do good. He truly cares that you learn the material. Dan is an awesome guy, definately take a course with him!
I wanna be Dan when I grow up!! Seriously!!
Dan is hands down the best prof in the history of all profs. You will not regret taking ANY class with him. In fact, you should regret NOT taking any classes with him. He genuinely cares about his students and will take time to get to know you. Such a great guy.
Dan is the most amazing teacher available. He requires a lot of work in his classes, but reqards you with the grae he thinks you deserve based on that work. Very approachable, very clear on how to do things, all around just an awesome teacher. it should be a requirement to take at least one class from him.
Dan is so good. That one day this university will be the university of Kazakoff. Take any class you can from Dan. DAN IS THE MAN
The best teacher available at the university. Take any class you can with him, you will not regret it! His classes require a fair bit of work, but you will be graded in proportion to the work you put in. If you take a lot of time on your assignments, and put in detailed analysis, you should get an A. We are lucky to have a professor this great!
Just finished my first course with Dan, and I was not disappointed!!! Literally the best prof I've ever had!! I wish I had taken IME with him though, everyone that's taken it has nothing but awesome reviews!! Go out of your way to take a class with him! It will be worth it!
Excellent teacher. All about creating a correlation between education and future business ability. Invested 100% in students. Loves Dr. Pepper. This is THE MAN! He may not be a woman but he has an awe-inspiring teaching style. If you take a class with him you have NO reason to complain or misunderstand.
I cannot say enough good things about this man. Great, structured class. Clear expectations and assignments. A good learning experience! My only complaint is I wish he taught more classes!
Dan is a gem!! I will take any class I possibly can with him. The most fantastic prof I have every had. He is reasonable and super approachable, but I did not have a single reason to complain about this class. Amazing experience and I am looking forward to more in the future!!
Dan is awesome. He reminds me of Bob Barker. all of his test were straight from lecture. every time he said " it would be good to know this" or " a good test question would be" PAY ATTENTION. easy marks if u study fro the test
Dan is incredible. Id recommend him to anyone. I can wait for his courses next year!
What else can be said about Dan that hasn't already been offered? An fantastic instructor, and more importantly, a tremendous human being. His greatest strength is that he cares deeply for, and is genuinely interested in, the well-being of his students. A highly professional, very smart, salt-of-the-earth kind of fella - keep inspiring, Dan!!
Dan is a great instructor! All exams are from the lecture slides. He is a fair marker and cares for students' success.
Dan is great. Without a doubt the best prof I've ever had. He genuinely cares about his students and wants you to succeed. Take a class with him, you won't regret it.
best teacher ever!
Dan is awesome if you show up to class he drops hints whats on the exams and gives partial credit for reasonable answers
Dan is great! He has a great sense of humour and gives many hints during the lectures on what will be on the exams. Take this class with him!! Did not really use the textbook.
I've had Dan for two classes and I just have to say, he is hands-down the best prof I have ever had. He is such a caring, genuine person and I would recommend his classes to anyone. He wants all of his students to succeed, that's for sure. Show up for class, put in the effort, and it'll be worth your while!
Dan is by far the best prof I've had at the university. He is very approachable, does all he can to help you succeed, and if you go to class he tells you what is most likely to be on your exams. He has two midterms that you must study for as they are all written and worth 40% each. However, if you study it's very easy to get above 90%.
I am entering my fourth year and never had the chance to have Dan until now. He is by far the best Prof I have ever had.
Dan is very friendly, and wants everyone to do well in class. As long as you show up to class you will know exactly what he will ask on tests. I would definitely recommend him as a prof. and loved class with him. The content was not super interesting, but he was very passionate about what he taught as well as promoting university programs.
Dan was the Man. I enjoyed his class even though it was at 8am. He made all of his lectures clear as could be and was always willing to help out if you had questions. Overall probably the best professor I have ever had and would recommend taking his class if you ever get the chance.
Dan is an amazing prof! Takes time to get to know all his students and has a lot of fun with what he does. Wish they were all like Dan the man.
He is such a nice guy! By far the best prof I've had so far! The two midterms are each worth 40% but he gives you marks wherever he can. All the material that will be on the exam will come from only the lectures so you don't need to buy the textbook at all. I didn't look at it even once. There is a group project with a presentation but no final!
Took the 8 am class. He usually ends class half an hour early which is nice. His tests are tough you have to study the material. But he is one of my favorite profs he really cares about his students and if you show up he really puts in the effort to get to know you. I would defiantly take another class from him.
Exams are entirely lecture based, but he drops a TON of hints in lecture about what he will test on and what he won't - he doesn't throw in any trick questions. Don't worry about buying the textbook, just show up to class and you'll do great! Dan invests in his students and is more than willing to help. He's a very approachable prof. Overall A++
Dan is a great professor who is very dedicated to the overall development of his students. He will drop hints in class as to what questions will be on the exam so show up. The textbook isn't really necessary as everything on the exam will be based off of slides and lectures.
Amazing super caring guy go's out of his way to know who you are. Full of life and love, what a great experience.
Dan the Man! Best professor I have ever had. He drops lots of hint toward the tests. He gives you marks where he can. Show up to class and take note, easy A.
When I went to Uni I was expecting profs not too care about your success, Dan immediately proved that wrong. He is one of the funniest lighthearted people I have ever met.
Dan is hands down one of the most genuine and caring profs at Lethbridge. His level of compassion and dedication to student success is outstanding. Lectures are entertaining and will throw in a witty joke occasionally too. More professors need to strive to attain his level of professionalism and emotional intelligence. Would always recommend .
Dan is the best teacher I've had thus far here in Leth. His class is extremely easy even for an 8am class, if you go to all lectures you'll pass with an easy A. He will tell you exactly what is on his exams (all written) and the group project is also extremely easy! Super approachable guy & I constantly look for him when I register for classes
awesome prof. super lenient marker. He really sets you up for success. attend all of the lectures and you're set. the only thing i wasnt super happy with, is the fact that he weights the midterm and final at 40% each. so 80% of the grade is determind on two tests.
Dan is by far the best prof I've ever had. He doesn't overload you with information, just provides the info that's important. Basically tells you the questions on the exam if you show up to class. Two written exams each worth 40% but if you show up to class and study for three hours you'll ace the class. The case is easy and he gives time in class
Wonderful Prof. Cares about his students and always gives hints of what will be on the tests. Definitely one of the best MGT profs in the Uni.
Tests are weighted at 40% each, but they're short answer and he is super generous with marks as long as you say SOMETHING even if you don't know it entirely. Super nice guy, gives case groups class time to get together because he understands how hard it is to coordinate group meeting times. BEST prof I have had here by far.
most approachable prof i have had at university. Tests are 80% of your grade, but as long as you attend the class he gives many helpful hints for the exams. Fair marker that gives extra points. If you show him that you are eager to learn you should get a great mark.
Awesome Prof, although class is based on 2 tests and an assignment he is a great guy. Super nice and if you're struggling he will help you. Just listen to lectures and study and you'll do fine
Dan is the best prof I've come across in my life. He's excellent at what he does!
He's a great prof. He cares a lot about the students and if you don't understand something he is there to clarify it. There's only 2 tests and one big group assignment so you're graded by three things.
super nice man, he tells you whats exactly going to be on the test in his lecutres. 2 exams worth 40%, one case study wroth 20%. No final exam. super easy course and good GPA booster
Dan is as good as everyone says! One thing to look out for in this class is the grading scheme though. A c is in the 70s. Tests are pretty easy. Text book was not necessary until the group project.
Really awesome guy. If you show up he will tell you whats on the test. Loved his class would recommend 10/10
I am working towards my second degree, so I have had A LOT of experiences with professors. In all of my years, I have never encountered a prof that cares as much as Dan does about his students. He understands the pressures and responsibilities we all have, and genuinely wants us to succeed. He is amazing and I would recommend him to anyone.
Dan is an amazing prof!! I would take this class again in a heartbeat. You need to attend class because he explains exactly what will be on the test so you are not studying pointless material. There are two midterms worth 40% and a project worth 20% and no final! I really enjoyed this class and would strongly recommend taking it with Dan
Dan is easily one of the best, if not the best professor you will have in U of L. Show up to class, he tells you whats on the exam, and it is hard to do bad in his classes. He is a great guy, who understands his students.
Dan is the man. Had him for a Monday night 3 hour lecture and honestly didn't know what to expect. Lectures were actually interesting, and he prepares you very well for the exams. 2 midterms worth 40% each, all written response. Dan tells you what to really focus your studying on so it isn't bad at all. Plus a group case, which is generously marked
Dan Kazakoff is a wonderful professor. He is very kind, professional and understanding. He really cares about students and is readily available to teach you important course material.
What a great Prof!!!! All the things on the tests are in the lectures. He points them out, tells you to star them in your notes. Would definitely recommend! He is an easier marker, made my first semester at the UofL easier!
A really solid guy who wants his students to succeed. Doesnt take it too seriously, pretty funny and really tries to be considerate with workload. All in all I would definitely take another class with Dan, I appreciated how he cares about his students. (He really helped me to get through and pass after I initially shot myself in the foot)
Dan was the best! As he presents his lecture, he tells you exactly what you need to know on the exam. All exams are written response, so memorize what he says exactly. He will do his absolute best to make sure you succeed in the course. The whole course is only marked on 3 things as well (2 exams worth 40% and a case study worth 20%).
Dan is amazing! Go to his lectures because he tells you everything that's going to be on the exam and his lectures are quite interesting. He also recognizes if you show up and tries to give you extra marks on exams where he can!
Dan is literally the best human who teaches at this school! If you can in his classes do it! He warns you about what to expect on tests for the most part so you just have to study, and not as much as other classes on average. He genuinely cares about the students and is constantly trying to help them out in any way he can. Also quite knowledgeable!
Dan was such a good prof. His lectures were easy to understand because he related the topics to real life situations. I would recommend going to his lectures because he tells you what types of questions will be on the test. The tests are worth a lot, but he is a very reasonable marker and gives a lot of part marks if you have the right idea.
Dan is a great Prof! He is very caring and explains material thoroughly. No need for the text book as everything on the exams is in the slides or lectures. That being said, the course is extremely test heavy (2 midterms worth 40%) which are all written. Essentially be prepared for some intense memorization. The material itself however is very easy.
Dan is one of the nicest professors ive ever had! He is so kind and caring towards his students and will always be willing to help you. Make sure you do well on the two exams as they are each worth a lot. His exams are easy but studying is still a good idea. Helped me with getting into a coop program
Dan is an amazing prof as-well as a person. He is very passionate about his studies and he cares a-lot about his students. His lectures are very interesting and he outlines everything thats on his tests. If you go to class and study minimally you will receive a good grade. I would recommend Dan to anyone and I hope to have another class with him.
Dan is great professor that really cares about the material that he is teaching. You DO NOT need the book for MGMT 1000; the class slides are all you need. Going to class is important because many times he specifically tells what diagrams or concepts are on the exam.
This guy is an absolute beauty of a prof; the best one I have ever had. He makes class material so simple and straightforward and tells you directly what is going to be on his exams. Nearly impossible to fail this class and no textbook needed. If you ever get the chance to have Dan take it because it will be the best class of your academic career.
I had Dan for MGT 1000 in Fall 2019 and I would take him again. He's helpful, genuine and always approachable. 80% of the class marks are weighted on two exams so it's important to pay attention to what he says. Otherwise grades very easy and lets you know what is on the exam.
Dan is overall an amazing prof and he made it very welcoming for a first-year student. His tests are exactly what is discussed in lectures. Definitely would recommend Dan to anyone!
Dan is a great prof! He really enjoys what he teaches. He made sure everyone had a clear understanding of what he was looking for when grading. We had a case exam, which was different, not really to my liking but he is pretty lenient when marking it though. He is very accessible outside of class as well.
