I loved taking cognitive from Dan. I was a bit nervous about taking cognitive but he made the material easy to understand. You can tell he cares about his students and wants them to do well. His lectures are fun and it was the most interactive class I have ever attended. If you read the textbook you will do very well on his tests. 10/10!

Dan was a bit unclear of the expectations of him as a professor given that it was his first time teaching at MRU. Tests ranged from impossible to incredibly easy. However, he appreciates feedback and adjusts his assessments as necessary. He genuinely wants to see his students succeed and has a big heart. Definitely recommend his classes.

Daniel is a great guy! With a lot of things on his plate, he seemed to pay less focus towards this course. His assignment guidelines were vague, which prompted a LOT of questions. He was a lenient marker, but his large questions did not give enough detail - he marked one of them based on "which answer was the best".

He had us do 3 training certificates that can go our resumes, which made me super happy. He was busy this semester but always made time for me! Amazing guy!

I took cog online with Dan in the Spring. It was a nice light course for the Spring and helped boost my GPA. He is a very genuine person and really cares about his students doing well.

This was a great class. I come from a sociology background and I found having that background really helped me understand the concepts in psych. The textbook cost a ton of money but is worth it for studying for the exams.

This class was online and we had lots of group discussions in the chat. I found it hard to participate in all the activities because I had to go to class in a busy coffee shop. Overall great class

Lots of interesting research covering relevant topics on how to focus and lots on memory which I did not know. Make sure to use the Cengage trial period for the labs because if not you end up spending tons of money on it.

I had to drop out of this class because of a death in the family but from the 1/2 a semester I took it was a very good class. He has a lot of energy so I don't recommend taking him first thing in the morning if you are not a morning person!

This was a VERY hard class. There was a lot a papers. However, he is an easy marker and gives great feedback. In the end I learned a lot of things about how to do research right and I think this will help me with my honours project in my 4th year. Lectures were very well organized and he taught in a very respectful manner.

Dan is a very good professor. He makes things easy to follow despite the amount of material we had in that class. He also gave us a cheat sheet for the first midterm. Even though he had a bad car accident, he still taught us through Google Meet despite how bad he felt physically. He also responds to emails right away and wants everyone to succeed.

An easy gpa booster!! I took this class during spring & it was super easy! No assignments; just quizzes & 3 exams. No time limits for tests & also no textbook :) Dan makes the class engaging. There are participation marks which you can get by attending & participating in class, or read the slides and post on the discussion board. Dan is a gem!

He's nice and teaches well but tries way too hard to be relatable given this is a class full of first years. He decided our final needed 3 essay questions on top of 70 multiple-choice to do in 3 hours. He has not given us one written question all year. Everything else he gives is easy, but that final is horrific for an intro class.

He's a nice and funny teacher but our final was 3 essays 70 multiple-choice to do in 3 hours. For an intro course. All of the essay questions were about very specific in class examples that you would have no idea about if you weren't there. The final exam was worded very poorly and was very confusing. We didn't practice this style of question once.

Don't listen to the other people that final was NOT horrific it was easy if u just went to class and actually studied for the final. Super good lectures he makes them engaging in class and interesting. All the assignments and quizzes were super easy grade boosters. He's super funny and gave multiple chances for u to make up assignments or midterms

Whoever is complaining about the final was probably one of those people that left early and failed because they ditched class all semester lol. Dan is the best ever! He's super kind, understanding, accommodating, and insanely funny. Every other prof that taught this course is super tough, but Dan is amazing. 100% would take again. Best prof ever!!
