He makes course really interesting and attractive! And his courses are well designed in a step-by-step process. He tests students in exam flexibly but he gives scores in a reasonable way. He has a little accent while that won't cause a big trouble. I personally learned a lot from his course.

Dante was one of the best professors I've ever had. He was extremely enthusiastic about engineering and always encouraged us to do our best. He challenged us and made us learn how to solve our engineering problems ourselves. I learned a lot from Dante and I would take a class with him again in an instant.

Dante was good at teaching during the handful of times that he went in front of the class to explain the material. However, expect to learn almost everything on your own due to the hybrid setup. Exams were generally not bad, but the grading was so sloppy that I felt cheated out of points. He also missed the deadline for submitting final grades.
