This is the best class have ever attended. I took him for spring. He gives you a lot of time to revise for the exams and lots of revision questions. He is always willing to explain and encourages students throughout the semester. As long as you study your notes and ask questions, you will pass easily.

Professor Dollar is a great teacher! Why? Because he is encouraging and is consistently available to answer questions. Its an online class so expect to read but he helps a lot by providing slide shows, chapter reviews and videos to break it down. But ASK QUESTIONS! His is very thorough with His answers.

Dr. Dollar is an amazing professor. I wish I could take him for all my courses. I greatly appreciate him for everything. When I wanted to give up he encouraged me not to. I did not give up and it was worth it. Because of him I am able to receive my associate's degree. Thank you so much.

Very supportive and encouraging professor. He provides several resources to help you understand the material. I am taking him again for 1409. This professor goes above and beyond to make sure you have everything you need to be successful in his classroom.

Dr. David Dollar is a great professor that I would 100% take again. You have to put in effort and do your work accordingly in order to pass (as expected) and sometimes he will even help you out and give extra credit. His slideshows and test outlines help a lot and look exactly like the tests. He also answers emails quickly.

Best Biology Professor. He is really good at sending announcements and reminders. Makes it super easy to reach him outside of class. The lessons contain a lot of info and you can also find test reviews. He also provides extra credit opportunities! I wish he taught Geology!

Dr. Dollar is phenomenal. I'm a business student and was dreading biology, and passed with an A. He will ruin online school for you - he is so helpful and encouraging and no other professors will hold a candle to him. Take his class NOW! He's the best!

Professor Dollar is one of the best biology professors I've had, his assignments are easy and he gives you enough time to turn them in. He gives really good feedback and interacts with you on a discussion post. He's a fast grader and answers emails quickly. There is a lot of extra credit for his class to help you pass.

Dr David is great overall, but because BIOL 1409 is credit 4, it is like 2 classes (lecture and Lab) you have to put yourself together, and rea to succeed. He is very good in grading which give you confidence and motivate you to do well. But He use proctor recording for exam even if we still have to use our own handwriting note for the exams.

I took Professor Dollar in spring 2024. The beginning of April I lost my mother-in-law. It was a very difficult time. I got way behind on my assignments to the point of failing. Professor Dollar allowed me to complete as many missed assignments as possible. I passed with a C. He is an AMAZING instructor, very caring and understanding. TAKE HIM!
