He is a good teacher. He doesn't collect homework, but help yourself by doing it. Starts class by answering questions you have over homework. Tests make you think-which is his goal. Wants you to understand material so you can teach it. Seems mean at first, but cares about math and wants you to. Class is what YOU put in. He will not spoon feed you.

Class is not overly difficult, but his teaching style of repeating things indefinately until he's satisfied will not make class easy.

The beginning of the semester was tough because he has a very lenient teaching style. After getting used to it, I did fine. The material wasn't very difficult, he takes attendance points each day, the tests were pretty straightforward and simple.I loved his little anecdotes and stories he told. Very good math teacher made me enjoy math again.

Glenn is a FANTASTIC math teacher. I went into stats so scared I was going to fail but Glenn makes it so easy to understand and I did better than I ever expected too. He is SO funny and really helpful if you're stuck on something. Take him definitely if you can in ANY math course!

He is an ok teacher & that's pushing it. I did well in the class but not because of his help, more because I wasn't going to allow myself to fail. You mostly teach yourself so if you can read a math book and look at examples and learn you will do fine. The tests aren't terrible but they aren't a piece of cake either. If you try you will do fine!

Glenn is super funny. He cracks jokes all throughout class. I recommend meeting with him for office hours if you do not understand something. In class he speeds through the information. There also may be some quizzes without calculators. Study and memorize all the formulas and trig values and you'll be golden.

I like him as a guy but as a professor he kind of stinks. At the end of the semester my final grade was a B and I knew I had earned an A in there so I emailed him and asked why I had a B and he asked for my quiz grades because he had lost them. He's unorganized and unaccountable. This was my second time taking him and he was like this both times.

Glenn was a super awesome teacher. We had quizzes every Wednesday, labs due on Fridays, and an eight question final exam. If theres something wrong on your quiz when you go to turn it in, he tells you so that youre able to fix it and turn it back in. Hes a super funny guy and makes you want to learn statistics and has some very funny slogans.

I really liked Glenn as a person. But in class, he goes extremely quickly. I understand there's a lot of material, but he goes unnecessarily fast and most of his assistants don't even understand him. On the plus side, he does give credit if you at least attempt a problem, even if you get it wrong. Great guy, poor professor.

I took Glenn for MTh1280 and he was awesome! As long as you show some type of work, he gives you credit, even if the answer is incorrect. His quizzes and exams are straight forwarded and really easy to get points. Class time is never dull or boring, always something new, so attendance is mandatory. He drops lowest quiz or exam grade too.

He hates if you talk or use your phone in class. He expects you to be there everyday but if you give him an excuse he will accept it. We never used our textbooks for anything and he doesn't have pilot so you don't know your grade until he gives it back to you. You have a quiz every week and it's all the material you have learned so far.

Good at showing different ways to approach the same problem. He goes around and gives help but not direct answers. There is a quiz every week and a test every three weeks. If you show up and take some notes you will get a good grade. Make sure to at least attempt something on the quizzes and tests he gives partial credit. I would recommend him

Mr. Dahl is a great foundational Math professor. He gives good feedback if you messed up. He only gives quizzes and a final plus homework every 2 weeks. He is a teacher that wants you to learn and open your mind a bit. His office hours are open and you could even visit him before class starts if needed. Take His Class over any other.

Don't take his class. He cannot teach at all. Only reason I'm passing is because I'm teaching myself. Quizzes every Friday, and they're just a bunch of puzzles. His tests are easier though. He goes off topic MANY TIMES. He also complicates even the easiest things in math.

NGL!! Glenn Dahl is one of the best math professors at WSU!! In class, he gives you the lesson in the first half of class and then you try the questions on your own and ask for help if you have questions. Outside of class, hes very helpful during office hours... YES GO TO THEM. Do great and study hard for the tests and labs and you should be fine.
