Comment:

Classes were pointless to go to, all he talks about is his money, Colander, and rentals in Florida. Only points come from tests that focus on things he doesn't mention in lecture. Even got in a fight with a student one day because she called him out on a rude comment. Never taking him again.

He tells you exactly what you need to do to pass his class, if you show up and read the book you will be fine. Definitely my favorite professor so far in college.

Comment:

Taken two classes with him and loved both. He is a really interesting professor that not only applies topics the real world but gives personal examples from his own life that are very insightful. If you need help and go to his office he will work with you as long as it takes. Hands down favorite professor.

Bruce is terrible at going off topic. He sometimes spends the entire class talking about his personal life. If you take his class, make sure to sit close to the front because he speaks quietly.

It was pointless to go to class. He didn't test on what he taught in class. The tests were all on the book.

If you couple the readings and McDaniel's lectures, you will get a good grade in the course. McDaniel is a genius and is willing to teach you anything he can.

Pointless to go to class. The tests are all multiple choice questions strait from the book. I went to class 50 percent of the time and still got a B because i read the book. Lectures are irrelevant to material on tests

Comment:

He "teaches by example" however he only uses examples and barely relates it to the material we should be learning. He likes to "flirt" with the girls and easily creates an awkward environment for students. Tests are very hard. You must be willing to study the text a lot in orde to acquire a good grade. Horrible professor!

Nice guy. Class is easy. Just keep up on the reading. If you're looking for an easy sleeper class, it's not for you. I'd suggest that you consider yourself a hard worker before getting McDaniel. No homework, no attendance, 4 tests, optional final, 100pts EXcredit. Not a bad class.

Comment:

nice guy, but going to class barely helps you on the quizes and tests. you have to study the book if you want to do well, you cant only go off of what he teaches in class. he spends alot of his class time telling stories that arn't that relevant. his class review for tests are not very helpful.

You have to read the book to do well on the tests. If you don't like to read, don't take this class. He's a really nice guy though

Comment:

He is arrogant and self-centered. The required readings are a book that he wrote and journal articles that he has published. I did not learn much from him and would not recommend taking this class or any other class that he teaches.
