Comment:

Dr. Daly is my favorite professor at Siena. She really cares about her students. She's always available to help, regarding both classwork and college in general. Most of the readings and books were quite interesting, and she makes her expectations clear. The class is more work than a usual FYSM, but I learned a lot and it wasn't hard to get an A.

Comment:

Daly is cool and helpful. The class was more work than Cheverton's honors class, but I learned a lot. She helped a lot with essay writing and general discussion skills that really help in future honors classes.

Comment:

Rough Grader!!! I am a naturally quiet person, and class is all discussion-based. She definitely had favorites, and they dominate the conversation making it difficult to find a place to jump in. Also, SO many papers!Other foundations classes were way easier, I reccommend taking a different professor.

Comment:

Took honors foundations with her. LOTS of busy work but not overly difficult. Group work a few times a semester. Her paper prompts can be a little vague, but there aren't many of them. Class is discussion-based. She always wears these blue crocks that I hate.

Comment:

Dr. Daly assigns a lot of writing and reading assignments, but the majority of them are easy and not very burdensome. Class essentially consists of discussions on the previous nights reading. She wants students to raise their hands so don't be shy about participating. Do your work, show up, and you'll do well.

Comment:

For anyone going into the Honors program, she's definitely great. Clears up a lot of questions and generally helps you stay on task. It's a pretty easy course since it's only Pass or Fail. Show up, do some reading, and it's easy. The thesis, however, well that's a whole different story...

Dr. Daly is a really smart and genuinely enthusiastic professor. She loves her stuff and that reflects in her teaching. The class has a lot of writing and you have to be prepared for class discussions. Be alert and do the reading, and you should be fine.

Comment:

Dr. Daly isn't a bad teacher, but the classes are definitely pointless.. you sit there and discuss the material you read, and often the discussions aren't something you couldn't come up with on your own in your dorm. be prepared to write ALOT and keep up with assignments, because they pile up. very helpful with school stuff though take advantage.

Dr. Daly is a wonderful teacher and advisor. She knows a lot about the school and is very helpful. She gives almost immediate feedback and truly cares how you are doing in her class. You must be prepared for her class and participation is key. I would recomend taking this class with her.

Dr. Daly is truly one of the best people at Siena. She's not just an excellent faculty member and professor, but also an extremely helpful advisor. I can go to her for almost any question I have about how things are run on this campus, and she knows the answer. In terms of her classes, she definitely knows her stuff and her classes are so worth tak

she is very into her job, do a lot of pointless readings, but the class is all discussion based so its not too bad. no exams. relies heavily on participation. grades kinda tough on papers. if you talk a lot during class you are pretty much guarenteed a decent grade.

Comment:

I wish I never took her class. She assigns pointless work just to get a kick out of telling you ur dumb. Moreover, She is NOT an English professor and yet she likes to pretend that she is as smart as one. Definately DO NOT take her class... ever, under any circumstances!!!

Lots of reading and even more papers. Not the easiest grader on papers. Relies a lot on class participation. If she doesn't like you, she lets you know it. Laughs at herself a lot...weird lady. But there are probably worse classes you could take.
