Greatest professor ever! "Little Johnny" I love you Dr. Dip
Greatest professor ever!!! Everyone should have a class with him.
He's a nice guy, but I find his teaching to be unlcear due to the fact that his accent is pretty heavy. I dunno if I don't like the class because I dislike math or not.
He's a great professor...but he is very picky about answers and def. picks on students. If u don't like confrontation dont take the class...otherwise he's a good teacher.
he refers everyone to johny and calls everyone "kid." he tells you that you are going to fail all the time. he never listens to your questions and is very rude.
my name is not kid or jonny. the only thing i have learned is that jonny is a failure and if you fail his class then you win. he is never available for help and turns you away when you need it the most. quote: "you understand, no, oh well there is su
johny will be back to haunt him someday, he is aweful.
he is the worst professor i have had in a long time, his "jonny" stories are old and he tells everyone that they are failures.
there is no one by tthe name of jonny, you should think before you speak. not everyone understands math and you just make it worse for us
I guess same guy who hates him so much evaluated him that way. Anyway, grow up a bit, if u just dont like him cuz u didnt get good grade. Hes the friendliest and most helpful professor i ever met..
The best teacher in Clarion. Wanna know math and love that subject that the math to learn from. If you hate him you got ISSUES. He's got nothing but love for teh students.
Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. He makes sure that after we are doen with his class, we come out with a better grasp and knowledge of the subject. If you want to get better at math, he is the person you should have for your class.
funny guy
I had Dip for bus. calc. He is a great guy and was always willing to help his students and would go over topics until everyone understood. You can't just skate by in his class and you have to work but its worth it.
ummmm he is a funny guy but a sucky teach
funny
I have no respect for this man. He was not helpful at all and I think he wants you to fail. He talks too much about 'Little Johnny' and 'Smoking the Whacky Weed' (no joke). He was boring and hard. He made anybody feel stupid just because they got an answer wrong. He is difficult to understand.
He's a funny guy and very helpful, but crappy teacher. If you have good prior knowledge of math, it'll be a breeze. Otherwise, you'll struggle through it because he doesn't explain things well.
Great teacher,very smart, very heartful, loves his students, "the ones that do work" this guy may not speak the best english but he is a very knowledgable man, very smart, and always willing to help at any extent as long as your willing to learn, he even give you his house # and you can call anytime
Hard class if you're not good at math, but only because he doesn't teach well. He has you read and do things on your own, then explains things later, but makes you look dumb if you don't answer him correctly. The good thing is he tells you exactly what will be on his tests.
Great guy and teacher. Really knew his stuff, incorporates other subject matters into math, which is cool.
Not very willing to help students with questions and doesn't give adequate time to answer questions.
"Keed done wanna learn man." Dr. Dip was a good teacher and if u have a brain you should be doing well in his courses, He is up front to the point and his "heart wont bleed kid" if you arent willing to learn your "sheet"
very disrespectful to students. oh boy, if you suck at math, he will take everything as personal.. well i tell you though, he doesnt know how to teach but talking about weed and Johnny and stupid stuff.. talks like he makes fun of students who does bad stuff instead of teaching class..
Ummm... whatever, Dr. Dip...
Dr Dip thinks that his students are failing becuz they are going to bars and doing bad stuff.. what a bad philosophy... they are failing because he doesnt explain well.. but talks about Johnny and monkey stuff
Blah :(
HEY JOHNNY HOW YA DOING KID!!! We are not kid.. excuse me!!! show some respect, sir
Dr. Dip is awesome- he knows his "sheet", and he makes sure you're not just lazing through his class like the rest of your schooling. Johnny actually graduated!!!!
very funny, but come on teach us instead of being sarcastic all the time.
well nice guy. but kinda hard to understand his way of teaching. sorry
Cool guy...his teaching styles are a bit strange, but they make learning easier and more enjoyable to do. Highly recommend taking Dr. Dip for class!!
He was the greatest prof ever!

He'll tell you himself that he gets accused all the time of being unclear because he's of foreign descent, normally, one would think that shouldn't matter or be a topic of discussion. He was probably the worst prof I had a Clarion.
he was the best math prof i could've ever had. he stayed with the students if they couldn't get a concept and he was HILARIOUS! p.s. he does NOT accept homework with bong water on it... and he'll tell you that :)
He skips around in the book A LOT and it makes the class semi-confusing. I never know which stuff to look over for class.
He makes a really hard problem look really easy. He'll help you whenever and however long you need it.
This is the guy that would be awesome outside of class but isn't so good at teaching. He can be very condescending and has a tendency to look at you like you're stupid. I don't think he's able to put himself in the students' place and see things from their point of view. But he encourages you to call him 24/7 if you need anything, so that's nice.
i think he is very intelligent in his subjects, but lacks the ability to teach this to his students. (and no, im not talking about his accent)
This dude is awesome. Take him. learn skill and get paid later on in life. He's smartere than you but knows that you can become smarter than him if you work for it. so do it.
Dr. Dip is the greatest teacher! Makes everything so easy to understand and is very helpful. He goes over things so many times over and over. It is just a great class with an even greater teacher. Very intelligent too. Take this class!!!!!!!
Dr Dip, while not always clear or totally understanding, is really willing to help you out. If you put in the effort and do what he tells you, you definately come out of his class with a strong understanding of the subject and a good grade.
he's alright, a good teacher but a little intimidating. if "kid don't do work, kid fail".which is true. but he can tell some funny stories about his wacky tobaccy smokin
The classes may not be that easy, but this professor BY FAR is the professor at clarion most willing to help his students. He'll give you his home number and tell you to call you anytime you need anything, he'll go over the material as many times as you need to. He's a really nice guy, and tries to make it interesting for you.
Dip not encouraging at all...if you hate math u need to just block this guy out and teach yourself. do all of the homework and stay caught up or you'll want to rip your hair out by finals. his class is only 100 pts total which screws you. good luck! you'll need it!
Dr. Dip is awesome! It's a little hard to understand him at first, but he's lots of fun and he goes over everything plenty of times so everyone understands it. His stories and jokes are really funny. I actually look forward to math class. Definitely recommended.
He is extremely funny, and he does a good job of explaining the material, but when he begins to give out homework he doesn't know when to stop and you end up with like fifty problems to do after each class. Also, he can be degrading to students at time, but he is just trying to get them motivated.
Terrible...complaines on how much previous teachers didn't teach and his own style is to "read book and talk with buddies"...you'll most likely "help the local economy" and have to take it again
ok this class is a waste in general for real. Dip is mean and is very full of himslef, he also thinks that if your not learing then u are coming to class. He is very critizing as well so all i can say is do your best with him!!!
Dr. Dip approached me at Wendy's, accused me of "smokin good heeerrb keed" and told me that "keed don pay dues."
Dip is awesome! Keeps you interested during class and is very clear with what he wants you to know. Anyone who does not do well probably did not pay attention or did not go to class if you ask me. Dip is probably one of the best teachers I have ever had in my life!
Awesome man! Is very hard and demands a lot out of you but WOW...I could go teach geometry now for how much he taught me. Kind of funny too
He told me I shouldn't be a teacher if I didn't understand a question. As a 4.0 honors student I said "whatever" and walked out of his room crying. He took the time to call me at home that night,clarify the problem and even apologized for upsetting me. Can be harsh but will help you in any way he can. And yes, he will answer homework calls at 2am.
You either love him or hate him. Opinionated, flamboyant, vulgar, funny, rude, tough, generous...many adjectives could describe this character. I went back and forth between liking and disliking during the semester.
I have a learning disability in mathematics to begin with, but I have absolutely no respect for this professor in the least for his teaching style. Yet another example of Clarion employing professors who are proficient at their fields of study, but absolutely terrible at teaching. Insulting, repetitive, and downright confusing.
He is a good teacher, if you want someone to put you down if you mess up the slightest. If you need help I would recommend calling him, he will help over the phone 24/7
"Dr. Dip" is an overall easy professor. He will go over things a hundred times until you understand. Do not leave class until you understand or else you will fail it on the test. His class is out of 100 points, so don't screw up.
One of my favorite professors of all time. Wants everyone to pass and will take the time to go over material that people do not understand. He makes the class fun because he is hilarious. You will have to work, but if you do your homework, come to class, and do practice problems before a test you will pass for sure.
All I can say is he is the BEST PROFESSOR EVER!!! It should be required to take a class with him. So hilarious. I always wanted to go to class.
This mad is incredibly smart. He knows a lot about math. His people skill are not so great tho. no matter how much time you put into the class he will accuse you of not trying. excursions is one of the most failed and repeated classes at clarion. I feel like i will be taking nothing away from this class
Dr. Dip is INCREDIBLE! He explains things so clear that there's no way you will fail! Attendance is not mandatory, but if you want to get an A you must attend every class. He's a great prof, who is always in his office! He even gives out his number just in-case you're stomped on a problem. TAKE THIS CLASS, ITS A BREEZE!!
Loved this dude i wish i could have another class with him. He is a reasonable professor and is hilarious. He talks about the greatest stuff haha. Pay your dues bud
i made an account on here just to tell the world dr dip is the man. Funny ass dude who speaks all truth. Pay your dues bud
Dr. Dip is by far the best professor here at Clarion. He is an easy teacher and he is very willing to help anyone. His jokes and funny stories keep your attention in class. I would HIGHLY recommend. You won't regret it.
I am soooooo bad in mathematics. This man transformed me into a mathematical genius! A great mentor also. Clarion University is blessed to have Dr. Dip!!!!!!!!!!!!! i often joke i would have never graduated if it weren't for him.
Dr Dip changed the direction of my life. Until I met Dip I was uninspired and unmotivated w/respect to academics. Dr. Dip taught me to apply a blue collar work ethic to my studies. I'm now and AVP with a large life insurer in the mid-west. Dr Dip does not tolerate mediocrity and demands the best from his students making them better people.A+ for DD
This guy is THE MAN! There isn't enough space for me to fully explain how awesome he is. He's hilarious and tells interesting stories that somehow relate to what we're talking about in class. You teach yourself a lot, but the book is helpful. You write a paper, but it's easy. I wish he offered more math courses, I'd take them. TAKE THIS CLASS!!!
I can't put into words how awesome this guy is! First off, great sense of humor, and he really can push you to apply small things to the bigger picture. Great man, very helpful, loves his job and he's funny as hell! I have so many great stories about him and I only had him for one class! take him if you can, don't miss out!!
Best class ever. He is more than willing to help all of his students and as long as you pay attention you'll be good. He's hilarious and makes class enjoyable to go to.
hard to keep up with sometimes. his stories get you off tack, but he's a nice man. always making jokes & is willing to help whenever a student asks for it. offers extra credit many times throughout the semester. not the best class, but not the worst class to take. his assignments are easy points.
Get a Tutor. It helps so much.
He teaches a lot of subjects not tested on. Best advice get the tutor. The test are all open ended, pretty much all word problems. Have to put time in studying his examples.
A lot of people don't like Dr. Dip, but I thought he was super funny and if you have some basic knowledge of math and a little bit of drive you should get an A.
funny professor but not very clear, expect to do a lot on your own to really understand some things. Is not afraid to call you out on stupid mistakes. is ALWAYS available to help, actually gives you all of his numbers and says to call at ANY time.
You really only have to show up to class to pass. He explains what he expects of his students very clearly, and none of the work is that hard. He tells you all the time he has open to give outside help, and gives all possible contact information. His lectures are usually filled with hilarious off-hand comments. Overall, a pretty good class.
I hate math and i loved his class. He is hilarious and would take him again if I had the chance. Make sure you do your homework because if you don't you will struggle like I did.
Dr. Dip is quite an interesting character. He is a nice and funny guy, but it is a difficult class to pass if you're not good at math (he's better than Gendler though!) His class is out of 100 points. There are 3 exams, 1 quiz, and a project. If you do bad on one quiz/exam but good on the next, he gives you extra credit depending on improvement.
By far my favorite professor. He really cares about his students and is passionate about mathematics. Just go to class & do the work , you'll pass. He will help you with anything. Never take him too seriously, he loves to joke around ! I would definitely take him again if I could.
The professor doesn't teach the material through notes, just examples on the board. He gives problems to do on your own time and doesn't go over it. You are graded by 1 paper, 1 quiz, and 3 exams. The positives are: the paper is a group project and you get study guides for tests. It wasn't terrible, but I didn't like the class.
If you don't go to class you probably won't pass. His tests are based off of examples he gives in class. They are challenging but common sense once you get it. Make sure you have study partners and be prepared to do a lot of rewriting problems. His math problems require time and effort more than once to achieve success in his class on test.
In one word, he is just best Prof. I ever met in my life....
Finished up with a 98% in his class, very personable and friendly. Makes funny comments during lectures. The lectures are literally the exams.
I had him for excursions in math. TAKE HIM INSTEAD OF GENDLER if you are given the choice between the two.
This guy is just the worst. Everything spoken in class is gibberish. He hates when you dont understand the work and is even worse one on one. You are better off self teaching on YouTube or just taking the class online.
He is a good professor. He only gives 2 exams and 1 quiz over the course not including the final. He is definitely one of the better math professors. He is also understanding when it comes to grading exams and is willing to give extra points if you do good on future tests. He is also very funny and has great stories.
This man is a real gem. You have to do a lot of work outside of class but it really teaches you how to learn. He tells you the exact questions that are going to be on the exams so all you have to do is study those. You definitely use the book both inside and out of class. There is 1 quiz, 1 research assignment, and 3 exams including the final.
Dr. Dip was my first math professor in college. It was during Covid19 when everything was online, so Ill cut him some slack there. The course has only 100 points total, so even if you only miss 10 points all semester you have a B. Its sometimes hard to keep up with what hes talking about, because hell start telling stories. Hes also rude.
Dont take this class, please save yourself the stress. I hated this class, I had it online and couldnt stand his dazing off into different subjects during a lesson. Also he is hard to understand and will be very rude and never answer any questions and just say did you read the book, youd know if you read. Please Im begging you dont take it!
seeing Dr Dip was always new and exciting. He truly cares about his students and is easy to learn from. Come to class and pay attention and youll breeze through his class
Dr. Dip was very funny and comical, his class is hard if you are not paying attention and not trying. You should do homework outside of class to understand or you may struggle. Many people are unsure about his sense of humor, but he means well and has been doing this for years and years.
Rude. Makes you feel stupid when you ask questions. Doesnt actually answer questions. Very hard to focus. There are only 100 total points in this class, miss 10 points and you already have a B. Barely taught math, always went on different story telling tangents and such. One group project.
Very good lectures
He was pretty rude. He would compare you to a drug addict if you did not understand the material and would straight up be mean about you having a question. Sometimes there would be a random older woman in the zoom (his wife maybe?) and they would start talking in his native language at random times. Sometimes it seemed like they were arguing.
