Wow! Great Prof. knows what he's doing, makes sure you know as well. Easy to follow and understand, great laughs too. If you can switch into one of Dube's classes, you wont regret it. I go to his lectures even though i am not enrolled in his class.. A+++
Best prof ever
impossible to get tired or go to sleep in his class. very friendly and helpful. the best teacher i ever had!
No Comments
fun, easygoing, clear. nice guy.
Absolutely the best teacher in Carleton. Well equal to Mingarelli anyways! :o) Switch to his class unless you want to hate calculus! You'll love his teaching and his stories!
great prof! both teaching and dri... err.. jokewise. Mingarelli taught him well :) I can't even tell who's better. Dube is more student oriented, but Mingarelli.... Mingarelli's also cool ;)
best... prof... ever...
a very good prof, he teaches very well and does a good job of explaining things
Best prof. Brings an exception atmosphere to the class. Certainly the best Carleton has to offer. Makes math fun.
The one prof who'll have an effect on your life!!!
what can i say... how many people out there can actually make calculus fun? this guy is very clear when teaching... and will help if you ASK for it. super sam is definitely the best teacher ive had
he ROCKS! makes calculus fun n interesting. switch to his class for 1004 and 1005 too. his notes are very useful. the tests and exams are straight out of his notes.
Notes are VERY clear and helpful. Explains things well. Tests are fair. Class is fun. What else can i say?
dube is a good guy, he's kinda lanky though, and he probably cant bench much more then his weight.......oh......wrong dube
Is there anything this guy can't do? I mean, he's a Star Wars/Pro Wrestling nerd to boot! He's casual, chatty, and hillarious, all the while managing to teach you tons. His tests really are right out of the class notes.
What a fantastic man
awesome prof. Keeps the calss entertained, and very easy to talk with. Compares those grade 12's to Pokemon lovers.
There is one major problem with having Sam Dube for a Prof...... It makes all the other prof's @ Carleton look like bad. I mean its nice to know that your prof actually cares about teaching!!!!
Great Great Guy.... Cant wait for math next semester!
Awesome prof. Lectures are great, go to them, do problems and talk to him and you will do great. Stories are funny too.
Stories are so funny!
Atta Be Sam!! Keep the stories coming, and I hope the back heals up!
Best prof ever! Had him for 105 and 204 as well. He really cares about the students.
Kewl guy man !! really goes out of his way to help students !! Very very caring and motivational !! no one can beat him - no pun intended ;)
you da man...
I had him in Shad and thought his arguments are rather interesting though I don't necessarily agree with all of them. He's still pretty cool.
greatest professor I've ever had
Makes it all clear nad easy to understand
Best teacher in the universe
Amazing guy, really really helpful and great. Everything people say about him is true, hes alot of fun! If you can get only ONE prof to fit in your schedule, make it him!
this man spends too much time entertaining hampster heads in class and not enough time teaching. He wastes large amounts of time telling pointless stories that just arnt funny then rushes through the material to catch up.
Conveys difficult material clearly, without being overbearing or condescending. Also relatively entertaining. For new students, if he teaches a course you need, I'd recommend setting up your schedule around his section of the course - it's worth it!
Make sure you register in Dube's section. Math 1005 is pretty hard, but it's a lot more bearable with such an awesome prof. His lectures are entertaining and he gives excellent, organised notes.
I guess I'm really dating myself with that 69 course code... Make that MATH 1005 for the youngsters out there. DUBE IS AWESOME. I was in the class where we were being taught by the Lebanese Math Nazi (LMN) and protested until the department gave us Dube
Math3705,Math1005:This guy can entertain a class. He's gotta brain the size of a peanut! talks about pointless stuff. Then in the last five min of class puts up 10 pages of notes on the board and can't even explain them(he will choke without his notes)
He is one of the best prof's ever....
Amazing prof... teaches with alot of enthusiasm and throws in some funny stories to actually keep the class awake!! Keep doin what your doing Dube.
Sam Dube rocks.. he teaches so well, you can't help but understand :)
hes da best math prof one can expect 2 have....makes a dud love calculus....god i wish he is there for atleast 3 more years util i finsih my engg......
Excellent prof, talk to him afterclass for help and he's amazing for what he can do for you. Makes everything understandable and clear. Easily aced his classes when i applied myself without trouble.
he is excellent prof
Funny, great stories
Excellent
Sam Dube looks like the ace party nerd (yes, thats possible) in my high school wearing glasses but with muscles to tear you apart:P. his way of teaching is awesome!throughout my time at carleton, his was the only class i didnt "sleep'n'drool" in
Best prof at Carleton. He knows his stuff, and has a real sense of humour. He writes clearly, but blazingly fast. Focus more on listening than copying the notes: you'll have time for that while he's telling a funny story. Super-helpful in his office, too!
If Sam was on ITV, I'd pull up a La-Z-Boy and a bowl of chips and watch his show. Not only is he good at getting the point across; he's delighted and impassioned about teaching you, and you specifically, and THAT is what makes him such a great guy.
Best Prof I've had in any university course ever, bar none, and I'm on my second degree. He's intelligent, clear, helpful, kind and funny. Thank you Sam.
Best teacher and person i've met in my life !! He is the only one that i have seen who tells a joke or story to get back students' attention from making noise and disturbing class. and he always succeds. He is the BEST ^^
i never thought calculus could be so much fun. Sam is the best prof ive had in Carleton.
Awesome prof here, always willing to help and has lots of funny stories to tell.
this guy is friggin hilarious... i've never been bored in his class and i even look forward to it! he does tons of examples and moves fast, but they're probly the best notes you could ever have for this class. go dr. super sam!
This teacher makes calculus fun.
Great Teacher, Easy to Understand
Sam is a great prof. I've learned so much this year! (Mostly math related, but Sam always had great stories and random, yet interesting facts to share with the class!)
hell of a Prof who deserves a lot more respect from the faculty. I hopen I get a chance to take another one of his classes
He is easily one of the greatest profs at Carleton. I don't know what he's doing as a prof either, he could've made it as a comedian if he wanted to. Count yourself lucky if you end up in his class
The best. That's all that needs to be said. Great prof, great guy, great friend. Sam cares. They say that profs just don't give a****. They were wrong about Sam. Thanks for everything Sam!
AMAZING prof. great guy, great teacher. very clear. makes calculus simple. this is the guy you want in first year calc. the most approachable prof i've had so far. he remembers his students' names and everything! make sure to get to know him. he can and will help you with just about anything.
He's the greatest! Wished he taught some engineering classes. He knows what students want. Very clear and easy to understand. Good notes and exams.
great!full of energy
He's the greatest guy. The hour and a half class goes by so quick every lecture. He tells great stories. Since he is personal fitness trainer and a sports commenter for the "World's Strongest Man", he has many great strories. His notes are complete and the tests are very fair. You're in for a treat!
Great Prof
Sam is a great prof and a great guy outside of class. Fair tests, great notes, great lectures, great stories, Take his classes if you can.
Everybody loves Sam!! :)
Excellent Proff. Helpfull in everyway. Every university needs more proffs like this. Many of the proffs in the faculty should sit in on a class and learn a thing or two about teaching themselves. Thanks for all the learning and fun this year.
Wow! Awesome guy. awesome teacher. used to do strongman stuff (can probly throw cars). Puts the Hulk to shame. Makes the class easy and entertaining. Hope he teaches courses in my later years. Hats off to Dube
It was my honoured privilege to have Sam Dube teach me multivariable calculus. This man could make a lecture about dog**** seem extremely important and be absolutely entertaining. If you can, for your own sake, take his classes.
By far one of the best professors I've had yet.
Greatest Prof ever. Whatever it takes get in his class transfer if you have to.
Excellent
He is nothing without his notes... But still a goood Prof.
The BEST prof. I have ever had!! Everyone should have him for a prof. Not only does he help students and teach well, he gives them great advice about university and life. At the same time he tells funny jokes! What more could you ask for?!
great guy cool to go drinking with. BUT teaches like he is doing speed before class. cool guy though, keeps the subject semi interesting.
Super nice and helpful. Really cares about his students. I used to be afraid of math and now I love it (plus an A in the couse). Just work hard and remember he's tough but really fair.
SIMPLY A MIRACLE OF A PROF.!!!!! Abo****ely everything is perfect/superiour quality about him: lectures, notes, tests, jokes, etc. etc. MOST HIGHLY RECOMENDED Mathematics instructor. To have him is an ABOSOLUTE MUST!!!!
He is very good, But you can ot trust him.
Best prof I have ever had. He loves Star Trek and Stargate, great guy to have a few beers with!
Certainly the best prof I've ever had! He's so fun and appreciates a good laugh, even in the middle of class. He makes you feel welcomed and at home even on the first day of first year! He moves pretty quickly with notes, but they're SO DAMN thorough that its awesome!(plus half the time he's telling hilarious stories)Tests are hard but its worth it
The best in teaching Calculus
awesome!
yeah...he's cool the first year...BUT once you take a second course with him you'll notice that his method of teaching is basically right off the book...you can take 15 min and read the chapter or waste 2 hours in class...his jokes are funny the first time but he repeats them over and over...i stopped going to class...became bored by it...
Takes forever to mark exams!
teaches you to learn, by learning to teach you.
Professor Dube is truly a gifted teacher that cares for his students. He will go out of his way to help you if you have any problems with the course work. Most professors should take a lesson from him on how to teach a university course.

He is an amazing prof. It's the only class i had which wasn't boring and everybody came to class because they loved it. He helps you out alot. His notes are the best which makes it easy to get A+ in the course. BEST notes ever. Make sure to take his class any course he teaches otherwise you miss out.
Took 2 classes with him. His is one of the best profs Carleton has by far. Goes out of his way to help students. Really cares for them.
No Comments
Really cares about his students and about what he does in class. Probably the best prof. in all of Carleton!!! Every chance I get to have him teach me, I take it!
this dude is awesome
Very good teacher ;)
Great teacher, had a way of explaining things that anyone could understand. Had a unique way of keeping students interested in the class. (even though (Sorry Sam) Math is not a fun course)
One of the best profs at CU
Dube style: write some theories you have no deep understanding of, put 50 examples, tell lame stories, give tests and exams that are EXACTLY the same as the examples, --> A+ for everyone --> awesome reviews. Meanwhile, nobody cares that they learn nothing from his courses , or the fact that he is an engineering dropout and got his Ph.D in 2007.
Formula for success=write some notes on theories that confuse everyone and you yourself barely have a good grasp on, give LOTS of examples to alleviate confusion, tell dumb jokes about your engineering wannabe days to distract students, give tests that are EXACTLY the same as examples, everyone gets A+, be showered with praise and bask in the glory
If you can get Prof Dube as your prof, DO SO! He simplifies difficult concepts and makes calculus interesting even early in the morning. He was always available outside of class to help. His lectures are fun, yes fun, because he is clear, funny and never makes you feel dumb even if you have a simple question. Prof Dube will always be my favourite.
Awesome person and a great teacher! respected.
Was not the prof but ran help classes on the side for student. 100% worth it. Amazing person and great prof. Makes sure you understand concepts, lots of examples, personable and helpful.
Funny guy, but there was really no structure to the course, although this could potentially be due to the fact that this is the first time it's being offered. Goes on rants about MMA fighting, hard to tell what's actually relevant and isn't, and lets students text him if they need to get into contact with him. It was fun.
