makes stats relatively interesting. Nice old dude overall.

I love this dude, by far the best prof i have had, his accent is wicked and makes class fun and you learn. Big Ups Denny

I love Dennis!!He is so willing to help even if its into his time. His quizes suck but what can you do nobodies perfect, but if you study and work at it he's an easy prof. I still visit him even though I have been in his class for many semesters.You rock!

such a cool guy. Very personable. Sometimes alittle bit of a scatter brain but that only makes him more likable

He is such a great professor, very supportive and helpful!

I don't agree with anyone who doesn't like Dennis, he is the best professor at this school. He gives plenty of examples and his quizzes cover class notes. Just like any math course you will take if you don't apply yourself you won't succeed. Dennis will go the extra mile to help his students.

One of the nicer guys around Campus. He doesn't explain concepts that great in class, but is very helpful outside of class. Tests are a little tough at first, but you warm up to the material and he lets you use cheat sheets later, so it becomes easier. I recommend taking classes with him for sure! He gives out free Pronghorn tickets too!

Great guy... he is funny, and entertaining. He doesn't really explain things very well.

Dennis is a fabulous professor. If you don't get it, go to him after class, he won't let you leave until you understand. He is always willing to take time and help you. You are NOT going to do well unless you do all the work, though. If you do, an EASY A.

HE IS A WONDERFUL PROFESSOR. THE SUBJECT MATERIAL IS HARD BUT WHEN YOU GO TO HIM AFTER CLASS HE WILL SPEND AN HOUR WITH YOU HELPING YOU UNTIL YOU GET IT! HE IS FUNNY AND KIND. GREAT GUY! HE MAKES MATH FUN AND I HATE MATH.

Dennis is an awsome teacher. He is soo helpful and is really there for the success of his students. just dont be afraid to ask for help

Great, caring guy, but a bit scatterbrained. Isn't really great at explaining, but reviews so much that you'll get it eventually. Easy exams, but low class averages for some reason. Didn't even get close to finishing all the material, so avoid if you plan on taking more classes in the area - you'll be left behind once you get to the higher levels.

Excellent prof but has a tendency to be a little scatterbrained!! Willing to help until you understand the material. Definately go to class, the material is difficult and take really good notes. Always friendly and learns the names of all of his students, always happy to see someone come for help!! Very energetic and happy in class!! take his class

We werent given very much study material for the miderms but for the final he gave us lots of practice problems to work on which were very helpfull. He is a really nice prof but hard to follow because hes so random and just jumps from one thing to another

Great teacher, made each student feel like part of the class.

Connolly is a great professor, he's been teaching here since the University opened, and he really knows what he is talking about. He will go out of his way to make sure that you understand the material. If i was a math major I would defnitely take more classes with him!

Wow. Great professor, clear, concise, looked forward to his class every other day. Great guy outside of class as-well.

Great guy. Makes class fun as he can. Class is not hard at all with him. Fair on tests and no reason not to be ready for tests if you show up for class. If you need help outside class he is more than willing to help you.

Denis is an awesome prof. He makes stats fun, which is a job in itself! He's really willing to help if you have any problems with the material, and he actually takes the time to get to know the students. The exams are pretty much straight from the assignments and the quizzes.

He is amazing

Makes the class fun and genuinely wants to help everyone.

Great Prof! He's very helpful and makes stats fun! This is not an easy class, you have to come to every seminar and keep up with the weekly assignments and you will do well. I loved his class and would definatly recomend him as a prof!

Really great professor. Keep up with the weekly assignments, very easy midterms and final exam. Just make sure you know what he is talking about because he tends to jump around alot and become a bit scatterbrained. Overall a very decent prof. and a fair marker.

I think he might have retired :( but, I have never had a prof who cared so goddamn much. He is a brilliant man, and the nicest teacher ever. He is very passionate about teaching and about his students. He avidly attends everything going on at the school (plays, operas, sporting events, etc.) and encourages students to do the same.

The best prof I've had in my life. Makes things as easy as they can be. Gives useful examples, tries to bump your grade if you deserve it. Attendance is not mandatory but he gave quizzes and it is really helpful to listen to his lectures. I would take all his classes if i could.

Greatest professor ever. He has trouble walking normally and yet he teaches to the best of his ability. Really really caring and helpful. You will be insane to not take a course with him!!

I love this Guy, he is the best prof in the university, makes calc be one of the nicest classes, I positivly recomand him to anyone who is after good grades and donuts plus oranges. I admit, time is short for quizes and tests, but he has lots of options, you will be happy you took class with him.

For a truly unique U of L experience, take Dennis. One of the greatest people I have ever met and am grateful to have had a class with him. His tests are hard but he's a generous marker.

Fantastic guy, super nice. Drives a volkswagen bus, is in top shape (you should see him go up stairs) and is like 75. Don't be fooled that he is senile, he is 100% focused. Super fun class, one of the best teachers I've ever had. Feeds you oranges and donuts. Make sure you can solve problems quick for tests.

Makes me want to be a math major the class is so fun!

Well, it's just a calculus 1 course..there shouldn't be a problem getting A+, so speaking of the aspect of his personality, he is simply amazing. He is very very helpful when visiting his office and tries to "actually" help students. You should be able to do well with Dr. Connolly. He has such a wonderful personality. Take with him.

Dennis is my favorite prof at the Uni. Sure he can be tough to follow at times but his little rants and comments make the class so much fun. He inspires students and creates excitement about the topic. Who would have thought I could grow so fond of Geometry. Take this class with Dennis if you get the chance!! What a beaut.

He is a brilliant and shining example of what an amazing, dedicated, student concious professor should be strive to be like. I sincerely wish all of my professors were more like him. He loves his job, he loves his students and he loves the school and it absolutely comes through. Wonderful experience being taught by this gentleman.

Dennis is the bomb! As long as you apply yourself and ask for help when needed you should be fine! Dennis' love for his job and his students shines through his personality. It's always a pleasure taking his classes.

A very intelligent teacher, makes time for you during office hours. Is very helpful if you dont understand something from the lecture

He is the sweetest man ever and always willing to help, but he is a complete mess during lectures. He is unprepared and unclear, and only provides half finished examples and only some print out notes with explanations. I love Dennis as a person, but as a professor he is very unprepared and unorganized.

Dennis is such a wonderful person. He really wants to get to know every student personally. Yes, he can be quite disorganized and unclear in his lectures. If you ask him questions though, he will do everything he can to make you understand. He will even meet you on a Sunday night if you need help. Most of all, he just loves math more than anything!

Mr. Connolly's class was hard, I took stats 3 times and spent $120 a week on a tutor and barely got a C-. That nothing to do with his teaching abilities, I suffer from a learning disability. Mr. Connolly is an AMAZING TEACHER and will bend over backwards to make sure you pass. He's always willing to help and answer questions. AMAZING MAN!!!!!!!!!!

Really good professor, someone who really cares about the students and wants them to do well. Focuses more on learning by solving problems and tries to do as many problems as possible in the class. Although he is a very generous marker and tries to give benefit of doubt, I found the exams and quizzes were a bit too long for the amount of time avail

Dennis is a wonderful prof! I would highly recommend taking a class from him, especially if you are going to take further math courses. His lectures are full of examples similar to ones on tests and he is a generous marker. He gives a lot of quizzes and multiple midterms, so it is quite forgiving. A great prof for learning how to problem solve!

Dennis is the G.O.A.T. at the U of L.

Dennis is an amazing professor and is very passionate about math, if you have a basic understanding of grade 12 math you will do fine in his class. His lectures were always interesting and he loved to help students when they had questions, he was one of my favourite professors and I would highly recommend taking any of his classes. Amazing prof.

Dennis is very kind and genuine, and you can tell he really wants his students to succeed. However, I felt a lot of the questions on the tests and quizzes were unfair. A lot of the time he had not discussed topics in class, and either expected you to remember from high school, or to have looked over it in the course pack. Final was easy and fair.

Dennis sometimes goes too fast and doesn't call on or answer to students during lectures but if you ask him a question after class he will make sure you understand the concept. Weekly assignments cover almost all the material and prepare students for the exam. Sometimes the exams ask a question that has not been taught in class yet so read ahead.

Dennis is very passionate about Mathematics and it shows. If you put in the work and have a good math background, you should succeed. Tests were fair. Go to tutorials!

My all time favorite Prof! Dennis is caring and willing to help those who are willing to help themselves!

Great guy. Hes getting a little old, but still teaches the course like hes young. If you need help understanding anything in his class, just see him straight after and he will be more than happy to help you

Professor Connolly has been one of my favourite professors. It is clear how much he cares for this university and his students. Although he rarely has office hours he is always open to meeting after class as well as answering emails quickly. He does expect you to be relatively knowledgable in the subject before hand, but his exams are very fair!

Dennis is a kind and compassionate professor who cares about his students, although sometimes lacking a loud enough voice for big lecture halls. Stats 1770 was an incredible tough course. However, he did assign higher grades than most individuals would have received on there own.

He's a legend. Even when I took him (2011 / 2012) he was almost at the end of the line in terms of his career, but he brought a positivity and an energy to class that was infectious. You could see the smiles on the kids faces, and sitting in that room could brighten your day. They don't make many like Dennis--respect!

Dennis is a caring professor who makes lectures engaging, but his teaching style can be tough to follow. Lots of examples, not enough explanations. Unstuck AI was a lifesaver for exam prep. Definitely do the readings and homework.
