Reviews of professor Neil Dantam

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Neil is not here for the students, that is very obvious. His "flipped" classroom style isn't effective at teaching any of the content that students need to know. The recorded lectures are the driest things I have ever had to sit through, and he just reads through examples without explaining anything. Hands down one of the worst professors at Mines.

One of the worst classes I've ever had to take.I'm sure he would take that as a compliment, but it's not. Avoid at all costs if you can.

He takes the most minimal effort to teaching ever. He refuses to record review sessions, barely gives solutions to practice exams, and tells students they should've gone to the review session. He let questions fill up all final's week, only responding the day before the exam. But when a student raises a criticism, he takes the post down in no time.

Awful teacher. Teaches you the most basic intro to a concept and then expects you to be able to do much more difficult problems. Imagine being taught a bit of addition and then expected to know multiplication with no context for example. HW/Tests are very hard. I'd say stay away but he teaches mandatory classes so you have no choice. Good luck :)

One of the most uncaring and unprofessional humans in the CS department; and that says a lot knowing how sour things are already. He's very intelligent, but: he teaches you to walk and expects you to swim on your own, ignores emails/ed posts unless pressured, incredibly high ego, and never seems content. Edit: He banned me on Ed (I had an opinion).

Neil is the worst professor I have ever had at Mines. It is clear that he has no regard for students' success and he genuinely does not value their learning as well. When many students ask for resources they would find helpful, Neil has shut them down claiming that it is a waste of time, and then completely ignores posts on the discussion board.
