Dan is a great teacher. Knowledgeable, caring, and enthusiastic. I treasure the memory of my classes with him, and encourage you all to seek him out. He is also a great scholar, with many important publications, so he has experience with all sorts of academic writing.
Dan is an incredible teacher. When I was completing a lengthy research paper, Dan edited my work and challenged my thoughts- pushing them to the next level. He's really incredible. I highly recommend him!!
