Professor Dankowicz is a great guy. He’s super friendly and passionate, and cares a lot about his students. His teaching, though? That’s where things get a little hairy. He has a very distinct way of explaining things, which mostly involves proofs that are way too complicated for this class. Integrals and abstract concepts galore. His teaching is…oddly, TOO correct. He refuses to simplify things to help us understand, and takes the most rote, conceptual, and abstract approach possible. There was one week where we had a fairly simple quiz, but everyone was so confused by the lecture that preceded it that the majority of people didn’t finish. I think professor Dankowicz expected it to be easy as well, judging from his comments after the quiz. I don’t hold it against him, but I studied the content out of the textbook the whole year and everything was so much clearer than it was in lecture. This class isn’t hard, but Dankowicz sure makes it seem like it is sometimes. That being said, he’s a good guy and willing to help. He’s not the worst professor to take for this class, especially with the right approach. If you do take his class, try to tune out the mind-bendingly complicated explanations and focus on the concepts and practice problems. |

While his method of solving seems strange at first if you trust in the process it will end up being extremely helpful. He was extremely engaging and liked to learn our names to call on us in class. While it is scary, if you get stuck he helps you, and he takes what you say and edits it a little, unless he is looking for a specific answer. I really enjoyed his teaching and I would highly recommend him for dynamics. |
