Doug was the greatest. He was always willing to help me through difficult problems and further explain concepts that were difficult to understand. His black, lifeless eyes truly inspired me to Work Harder. Doug is also extremely attractive and reminds me of a big, huggable teddy bear.Rate My Professors ↗
I loved Doug, one of the most intelligent men at University of Wisconsin - Madison. He was always willing to help me when I needed it and his teaching and examples were crystal clear. However, he was VERY demanding, saying that is motto was "work harder" or something. Somehow, just his presence made me try my hardest. Wow. Amazing.Rate My Professors ↗
Doug is a great TA- very clear and easy to listen to, especially in a class that's far from enthralling. I would definitely take a class with him again. (It also doesn't hurt that he's ridiculously good looking.)Rate My Professors ↗
