This man is hands down the most chill professor you can get. Our Lectures were excellent and his lessons were very thought-provoking. Student-led discussions were very common in my class and we all had the freedom to voice our opinions. Assignments are really easy and he is super flexible with his deadlines. I would absolutely take his class again.

Professor David Hill is someone whom deeply cares about his students, and he will do everything he can to help them pass his class. He's a very calm person, which allows students to understand the topic(s) he teaches. Submit all of your homework, exams, and quizzes on time, and you will get an A. I would really love to have Professor Hill again!

By far the best professor I had at laguardia. With professor Hill it is a joy to be in his lectures because he finds a way to make it as interesting as possible with his humor. Honestly wish I could take another class with him because he really knows how to cheer you up

I took him on Fall second session, he was so nice and such a great professor. I wish I could take him for every course. His lectures are clear to understand, he makes class fun, and he teaches in such a way that doesn't even feel like we are in class. Listen to him, and give your views, he appreciates every opinion. Just take him.

I loved how open minded Professor Dave was. Of all the radical and liberty of topics we chose to write about, he kept himself unbiased with grading our papers. He graded our papers thoroughly and based them upon how well we were able to explain and expand on our points of views. His jokes always had meanings with great value and morality.

Professor Dave as he likes to be called is one of the best professors you will ever have. He made an 8am class so enjoyable. He is full of good energy and his lectures were always so fun as he is a funny person. He is really understanding and the nicest. I would love to have him again as a professor.

Not a class you should take if you are genuinely interested in politics. 95% of the class is blabbering on about irrelevant topics that barely correlate to politics. I recommend this class mainly for those who want quick & easy credits without putting in much work.

Professor Dave is amazing - makes lectures engaging and has a great sense of humor. If you stay on top of assignments and attend class, you'll likely get an A. unstuckstudy was a lifesaver for quizzing and review.
