Dave is a wonderful instructor. He makes learning the very difficult language of Russian a manageable task and possesses an evident passion for language, his students, and his profession. I would highly recommend taking any class you can with him.Rate My Professors ↗
He was, by far, the best TA I've ever had. He made 19th century Russian literature very accessible, and not only that, he was very good at stimulating discussion. Also very approachable outside of class and very accommodating of my schedule.Rate My Professors ↗
