Reviews of professor David Polletta

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Dave's class is very straight forward with one homework assignment per lecture and 3 exams. He goes over homework problems step by step and will answer questions in lecture and in discussion boards. He is super helpful and loves a good pun. This class was super enjoyable, great professor.

Great guy, but kind of hard to pay attention. It was his first semester teaching diff eq so I think he didn't quite know what was needed so he explained some topics in much more depth than needed. Do all the webworks (understand them) and MATLABs and you'll have no issues. Attendance isn't required but he may give EC for it.

Dr. Dave is one of the best professors I have ever taken. He is a great professor and more then that, he was just a great person. I highly reccomend anyone to take his courses. Calculus is a difficult course but he makes it funny and enjoyable. Dr. Dave is the best!

David is the best math professor in ASU. Also, he's a nice guy that deserves the best and I wish I could have him for my upcoming Calc classes.

Dr Dave is the goat when it comes to calc 1. His lectures are very good and he has an online dropbox for a lot of homework questions&previous lectures. I skipped class a decent amount of times but was able to do really well on exams and homework just from his dropbox. Put in the time, because calculus is still difficult, and you'll do well

for such a hard class, dr dave made it really easy. it is so obvious he is passionate about math and he shares that passion for math with his students. i also really like how he took the time to learn students name and how to pronounce them correctly!

Dr. Dave was an amazing professor. I took him in the fall and he was super understanding and helpful. He provided a ton of resources for success. Tests are a huge part of your grade so make sure to study for the tests!!

He's a great professor to take for Calc, I'd recommend taking him if you're able, it's definitely worth it.

Dr. Dave is the best professor I've had at ASU. He provides a Dropbox with every lecture recorded, and HW help for every hard HW question, explaining how to do it step by step. He does not grade attendance, he gives partial credit on exams. He is super helpful with any question you have and also very funny. Take him!!
