A good teacher, encourages you, and cares
GRAT TEACHER really nice and gives great handouts for the chapters
AWSOME!! Very enthusiastic, and motivates you to want to do good
He is great! Fair tests! Great notes! Approachable!!!
the best teacher, so helpful that one time my bag containing my course binder was stolen and he invited me to pick up all of the class notes, from his home, so that i could study for the final. extremely helpful
Awesome teacher. He used to have a high management position in a big company, so he has the knowledge and experience. I thought he was excellent and I highly recommend him to everyone.

Great teacher! Highly recommended.
He is an excellent teacher. Very approachable and gives exams based on his handouts...He is very experienced too...so what are you waiting for? Make sure that you pick him....
he very good and easy teacher. He is the best in kuc. i enjoyed his class very much and got b+ and A both of first year business classes. He excellent and the exams aree easy as well. He is also fun and very interesting.
Best teacher.
His classes are completely boring. He gives a group project that is huge but gives you not one class to work on it. All his tests are on his handouts that you basically have to memorize pages and pages of text for his exams.

Hands out notes for each chapter that is to be reviewed. Notes are useful for reviewing for finals. Hands out a huge project and marks fairly and easily on all tests and projects. Gives leniency on different little things
BEST Teacher Ever! Keep it up Mr. Williams
Great teacher. if you want to have fun and good GPA, you got to take his class whether you like bus or not, exam based on note and easy to identify. too bad he dosen't teach 2nd yr bus.
SUCH A NICE TEACHER.......
ONE WORD SAYS IT ALL... UNBEATABLE!
he rocks.....all i can say...TAKE HIM!!!!!
He's the type of teacher who teaches through experience. Read his hand-outs and this class will be a breeze. To sum it up...Awesome teacher.
He's a good teacher who teaches through experience. A "thumbs up" to take him.
A+ teacher who should be recommended to other students =) the BEST thing he does is that he utilizes his past experience in business to explain situations to students;which helps a lot in understand theories & how hard it is out there in the busines world
Allen love tina
he is a fair marker who can be generous at times. available for help but if you ask him one question he will talk your ear off for an hour about anything. not that helpful if you have a bad group. must share group mark with slackers :(
Dave is a great teacher. His insight into the business world is both entertaining and helpful. His tests are pretty easy but he marks very hard on the project. All in all, I'd recommend him.
This instructor appears to be friendly and helpful at first but has in own agenda. He has contempt for academia and is too competitive with his own students. His exams are unfair and he tests you on things that have yet to be covered. Dont tke his class
very easy...take it if u want "A"
He's the best! his class should be a breeze..Must have good attendence, but his classes are very entertaining and funny.His teaching is throught alot of his experience which is pretty good. So take him hes good tests are pretty easy, he'll hint indirectly
very nice teacher! has fun classes and cares about his students!
Only he will print out notes for students and highlight the important points,tests seems easy,he has clear speech and interesting delivery.Strongly recommend this teacher
Nice teacher and a fair marker. Easy hw, tests and exam. Recommended!!
David is such a hilarious teacher. He told us little funny stories about his life that were related to the topics. He gives hints about what's going to be on exams. Your only homework (besides reading the book and studying)is the group project. Definately an awesome teacher!
He is nice. Ya??
Bad teacher.
Never take his class. Glad it is over soon.
He is a very good taecher. His notes is very helpful and useful. The exam is reasonable. One of the best professors that i have ever met.
Great teacher. Signed up for a second class with him. Gives great help/advice when asked for it.
This guy is great. He gives you hand outs of notes which are EXACTLY what the test will be on. As long as you arent lazy and you study the notes he gives u, you will get an easy mark. He's relaxed and easy going. I recommend him to all, except maybe ESL ppl.
Great teacher! Shares funny stories. Makes great notes for the class and tells you a lot about what is on the exam. Attend class to get your participation marks (he takes attendance) and his notes, and you'll do fine.
The best business teacher at Kwantlen. Teaches how it is the real business world. Helped me get an awesome job. Would recommend this guy to anyone. Too bad he doesn't teach Degree courses.
nice and easy going, useful notes, you can receive good marks as long as you work hard
Simply the best. great notes(handouts) with everything you need to tackle the business world. He's currently working as a Top Manager in a company. so his experiences really blends into the lecture.
He's such a great guy. He has real life experience and teaches for fun. Excellent notes and easy to listen to. His lectures are actually interesting!!!
neat stories about British Petroleum :P
He's really great... all his tests and midterms come directly out of his notes, so if u know the notes, you'll ace the exams. easy to listen to lectures, fun and relaxed class. be there on time each class and you've got some easy earned attendence marks. awesome prof.
Great teacher! Lectures are interesting and class discussion is encouraged. Tries to apply class material to real life. Expectations on the project were not totally clear but he is willing to clarify them if you ask.
Good lectures, notes follow lectures and the textbook (notes are very useful). Lectures sometimes get repeative with girl and guy comparisons. First 2tests are 4chapters each, the final is 8or9 chapters. The paper is related to a career you are interested in. Good class.
Awesome notes, relativly felxible with changeing due dates, all round great guy. Definitly reccomend.
funny guy! great teacher, gives out great notes, barely have to study~ tho it's "required, the textbook is unecessary because his notes cover 99% of the tests~ i bought the book & i didn't even use it & ended up with a B+~ PS: every year, looks more & more like a pregnant guy :P but a FANTASTIC TEACHER!
He's very easy, he hands out notes, and goes over them. Just study the notes and his class will be very easy. I'm very close to a A+, so it tells you how easy he is. Another plus he has long breaks =)
He is the BEST teacher... his lectures are really interesting, you'll aways want to be there for them... i suggest you take HIM... he has a lot of experience when it comes to business
Good instructor, very interesting class. He has lots of insight based on experience. Good sence of humour. Tests are easy if you study his notes. Just show up for class and study the notes and get a A
Cracks me up to no end. His notes - which he hands out to you - can lack clarity at times, but his tests aren't big challenges.
Nive guys, but not as funny as he thinks. Tests can be hard but as long you study they are fair. Projects are huge but he gives you lots of time. Very approachable! Overall good teacher!
AMAZING TEACHER! I wish i had him for every class! Best advice- STUDY HIS NOTES!! his notes and his overheads are his tests. STUDY THEM! FORGET THE BOOK.
I love him! This is one class I can ace because he gives notes and sticks to them. If you take the time to study the notes, you'll do well.
This guy is a cool teacher. His test are easy. I would recomend taking this teacher. He marks fair, class is interesting, he gives good life examples. This guy is cool :) GOOD ON YOU DAVID!
He was a great prof!!!! He teaches in a fashion that is not only understandable but also creative and interactive! I absolutely recommend him!
He's so nice and funny.he gives you notes and thats what you have to study for on the test.he always gives hints for what will be on his tests..too bad he doesnt teacher more classes
great guy, gives lots of practical examples from his own business experiences. lectures are fairly interesting, easy to follow because of handouts. dont buy the textbook, i did and never opened it once. the notes are the class-tests are completely from his handouts and overheads
He's an awesome teacher loved his class he was very helpful and very interesting. I wish he taught more classes. You don't need the textbook if you listen in class and do your assignments the exams are sooooo easy...
I really liked David. This is the first 3 hour class I'vetaken at Kwantlen without wanting to die half way through. I would take him again, he kept it interesting and knew first hand from experience how the business world works.
He makes 3hrs class fun.If you remember all the notes which he gives you,you should be an A student.If you are good at memory,just take him.One individual a term.I will take his business courses again.
This instructor has lots of energy but rushes each chapter from the textbook preferring in-class exercises. There is never enough time to complete the overwhelming number of questions in his exams which frustrates and demoralizes the students. Don't take his class if you're expecting A's.
IF YOU ARE TAKING BUSI 1110 or 1210 TAKE HIS COURSESS . JUST STUDY HANDOUTS HE GIVES AND STUDY ALL STUFF HE SHOWS ON THE PROJECTOR !!!! U WILL BE FINEEEEE !!! U DONT HAVE TO BUY THE TEXTBOOK !! GOOD LUCK GUYS U WILL BE LAUGHING WITH HIM A LOT . ESPECIALLY HIS TEENAGE TIME STORIES LOLLL
Dont know what these people are talking about. His class is not one that you can just show up and get a good mark it takes alot of hard work. Especially his stupid project that takes the whole year. Doesnt really give you good instructions on it and expects you to do everything right. Says dont need book but MC is from book and written is timely.
David is by far the best teacher.If u need to take an elective take this class!He gives you the exact notes that you will need for the midterm!If you have the notes memorized you will get an A.There is 1 big project, but get a good group, start it early. I ended with an A! This is the second class I've taken with him and I want to take more!
his notes are clear. love the examples he gives in class it helps to understand better. His notes are almost always in a exam and he is a VERY fair marker!
recommended, very good guy, very clear, have note for every chapter, easy marker too. exams are easy, just study the notes he gives.
Dave is nice, but he marks too hard on your creative ideas. He can fail people for NOT doing their work at all, but he cannot fail people on their mechanics because students will think he neglect their work.
Best teacher i have had so far!! made it easy to understand and the exams were evrything he gives you, the project did take a long time, but he marks it fair, just show up and you'll get a good mark
Such a BORING class. He takes attendance so u have to show up. Exams are fair. Huge project.
David is a hard but fair marker. All his classes are important to attend and you must keep up your reading of the textbook and his notes. Exams are not too hard as long as you know your stuff. Very approachable and willing to assist you with your group project. I'd take any of his classes.
David is a really approachable guy. He very laid back, and isnt stuck up like some other teachers are at KPU. Moreover, he provides Beautiful Notes for his class which is all you need to study,i never used the book. His test are OK, and he marks pretty fair. The year long project was a big pain, but it provides knowledge on creating a business plan
Great prof, my favourite one at Kwantlen! He brings a lot of real-life experience and knowledge to his classes which make it interesting, so the learning is not all about regurgitating from the textbook. Easy marker he makes up tests right from the notes he gives you. I got an A+ in his class take him!
I've never writtin any comments about profs before but i have to admit, David is one of the best and i mean best profs out there. IF i could, I'd take all my classes with him! i would highly recommened this prof. P.s. guys...you can leaRN a few tips from this great guy!
good teacher!!!take him
David is a fantastic teacher. He is clear, test are reasonable and if you come to class you are sure to be a B or higher.
One of the best teachers at Kwantlen. Funny, nice, laid back. Very good at teaching/explaining the material. Test are mostly from his notes. Tests are reasonable, he tells u exactly wut will be covered. HIGH RECOMMENDED
He's laid back and realy nice/funny. He gives you all the notes you need and all his exams are almost word for word from his notes. Really good teacher and very helpful!
Easy teacher, probably one of the best at kwantlen. teaches you outside the textbook with cool examples, all of his tests are based on his handout notes which are the easiest things to study off. theres one group project which he grades easy to boost ur marks. Overall a laid back guy with cool stories.
Awesome teacher, pretty easy, lots of real life experience to share.
He is nice; unfortunately, he is BRUTAL TO students such as early report. If U R NOT prepared 2 do the early presentation, pls take with another instructor (except for the one who teaches with BAD quality)
David is great funny and to be honest the material is boring but he makes it fun.... his stories about his wife will crack u up... really laid back guy... very approachable and always helpful!!!!!
David is an exceptional instructor. He provides notes, goes over the notes in class, he provides real life examples, gives exams based on notes, he marks fairly, and goes out of his way to help students achieve the best mark possible. Highly recommended.
best prof ever, easy marker. 2 midterms,1 final, and 1 group project. provide notes for each chapter, and his classes are always very interesting!
Hes a good teacher :). I did find his classes a little bit boring sometimes because i cant stand reading notes. For his exams make sure you study his notes mainly, i studied the textbook for the first exam and did terrible, the second exam i used the notes and did amazing!! I would def recommend him
Pretty good teacher but mainly lectures can be pretty boring. Make sure you keep his notes/handsouts as he bases all of his midterms and the final from them. No homework is assigned but attendance is marked. He's a pretty straight forward teacher who tells you exactly what he expects from the presentation and all the tests.
What can I say? he's definitely a great professor and GPA booster~ recommend his course~tests are very easy and straight forward~all you need to do is follow his notes~you can easily get an A. Oh~and he loves Lamborghini~
Best teacher ive had at KPU so far! took all three classes that he teaches, BUSI 1110, 1210 and 2490! If you study his notes, exams are gonna be easy. and if you need help, he'll be willing to help you out. strongly recommend him!
best ever. just study his note
ive been at kpu for almost 3 years now and he has been my best prof yet. he really knows his stuff. both in the class and in the work field. he is funny and his stories about his careers are always interesting. if you are a business student, i highly recommend him.
I took business 1210, international business and business 1110 with David. He's a fantastic prof! He provides notes so you don't have to buy the textbook. His exams are fairly easy, just memorize his notes and it's an easy A. I see no reason why you can't get an A in his class. He does do attendance every class for your participation mark.
If you are into ONLY memorization, then take him. If you learn by application and are hands-on, you may suffer. I get B+'s and A's, however in his class I'm getting C's to C-'s. Everything is memorization. His teaching is the kind that goes into your ears and goes straight out. His class is SUPER bland and boring too. Barely uses any visuals.
What he tests is not always from the book so don't miss class because he doesn't like to talk to you outside of class, you can tell in his aggressive responses to my simple questions. Go here if you want to go to class and pass while trying not to fall asleep; this guy really likes the sound of his own voice. And the stories he tells, damn STFU!
Boring lectures, tests are tough. You have to memorize everything on his notes to pass. Don't recommend him!
His class is so boring and you have to memorize EVERYTHING from his notes which is a lot! DO NOT take his class if you hate memorizing!
Love David's class, but 3 hours can get pretty boring. He's very kind and has hilarious stories to tell. :)) The key is to memorize his notes. There's A LOT to memorize BUT it's super easy to memorize if you try and understand them. So just show up to class. You paid for it. Don't be lazy.
best teacher ever! Super useful notes. Easiest course 1110 and 1210 in the world. Super easy test and no doubt getting A
He is really nice. He is an easy teacher, believe me! He provides his own notes and you just have to understand what he says. You will definitely get an A if you listen to him in class.
awesome teacher, makes his subject all real world based and gives you examples about his past experiences, wonderful way to learn. really enjoyed his class. he gives you all the notes to study too! super helpful.
He handed out the notes and wasn't very interactive at all. We just sat there and listened to his stories and definitions. Personally, not my way of learning. Test were all memorization. If you can cram a bunch of definitions in your head it's for you. If your like me and need to interact with the material more, take someone else.
Needs to provide more opportunities for students to review what they learned through assignments or some other way than giving you the unhelpful notes. The notes are simply definitions of key terms. Just a very carefree way of teaching and I mean carefree about his students. He understands the business world but does not understand how people learn
Exams are based on the detailed lecture notes he gives out. You need to read and memorize a lot, but there are no surprises on the exam. Honestly I want to give him a lower score because he lets a student go off topic too often during lectures as he is too nice. Lectures are mandatory (participation marks) and you can study if he goes off topic.
He is a nice old guy all the midterms are there from his handouts maybe some of it was from book but easy midterms
He provides notes that r definitions of key terms. His types of EXAMS r like" DESCRIBE + LIST 5 of "elc " or IDINTIFY 4 of "elc".Also arount 20 to 25 trues and false; they can be tricky so pay attintion and understand the lecture Well Two midterms: Test yourself before exams; so u dont forget a difinition or keys.
Not that bad!
One of the best profs at KPU. Two midterms and one final. No filler quizzes, labs, assignments, etc. in this course. Tells some great stories and really relates the material to his life experiences in the corporate world. Gives condensed notes that cover 85% of the exams. Remaining stuff is covered in class. Highly recommended prof for BUSI 1100.
David is a very hilarious guy. He brings his own experiences in class and has a lot of knowledge about the subject. He gives you all the material that you need for the midterms, most of it you just need to memorize. He talks a lot, but is open for student's participation in class. For sure I would have another class with him.
No point of going to lectures, you never learn anything from him. Just get the handouts in class and teach yourself. Not helpful if you have questions
David is a awesome professor. He provides print outs of notes and his exams are always from his note. You don't need to study whole chapter, just prepare his notes yo can easily get A grade. His exams are super easy. It's always true false and 3-4 short answer questions. He's easy maker and his lectures are good. He has great knowledge of subject
So you are going to be very bored taking his class. However it's really easy to pass. He gives you his own condenced version of the class textbooks. All you need to do for his tests are pay attention to his slides and read and try and memorize his notes. However his lectures are very dry and boring.
