- "Dave Ward is an excellent person and professor. I am happy that he taught the class and am a better man today because of it."
- "Fabulous! Perhaps my favorite course thus far!"
- "Dave is great because he is genuine. The rest of it just flows from him being himself. The subject matter can be daunting and overwhelming but he works through it with us rather than above us. Always provides great insights."
- "I am thankful to have had such a supportive, encouraging, and inspiring professor who approached our class as a fellow learner as well as a friend who wanted to share his love of preaching, of God, and of people with us. He taught with depth, passion, and sincerity, and he truly cared about the students and the subject matter."
