The man. The myth. The legend. You have to take a Daileader class at WM. Amazing and funny lectures. Rolling deadlines for papers and no tests. The reading quizzes are usually easy if you do the reading. This man is a true gem. You just have to experience him to understand the craziness.

Daileader is a great profesor who really challenges you to think. Be prepared to put in a couple of hours for the reading every week but the discussions are always engaging and he is a fair grader.

Daileader is the funniest professor I've ever had! He always makes a joke of some sort and it really makes class enjoyable. He teaches by using a 5 slide PPT but has the lecture's contents memorized (which was very impressive). Note: I read more in 3 weeks in this class than all of high school. I HATE reading, but took the class for a C200

Best professor I've had so far. He's hilarious and he knows how to present the material clearly in class. The readings are compelling and the workload is not heavy at all. A must-have for any history major.

Professor Daileader is my favorite professor at William & Mary. This man is truly an expert in the subjects he teaches, and his lectures are never boring as he is very entertaining. It isn't an easy A and there is some reading each week, but he is fair and always willing to meet outside of class. Also, he gives the best feedback on every paper!

Prof. Daileader is an amazing lecturer and truly an intelligent guy. His class required some boring readings but he makes up for it in his lectures. He cracks a lot of jokes and keeps the class lively. Would definitely take a class with him again.

Daileader is a great professor. There are weekly reading quizzes (which can be a bit tedious / oddly specific) and three overall papers, but overall the class is straightforward and fun. Daileader is a great lecturer and makes an interesting subject even more interesting.

One of the top tier profs here at W&M. Funny lectures, engaging and cares ab students' performances. Take this class. Only criticism is that nothing from his lectures are available online- he basically improvs his entire material. Skip class & you won't know what is talked about.

Daileader is the one of the best professors I've had in 7 semesters of college here at W&M. He is hilarious and gives awesome lectures. The only drawback of this course is he makes you read a lot. But for me, I looked forward to reading because the subject material is so interesting.

Amazing! As long as you DON'T WAIT UNTIL THE LAST FEW WEEKS to do the essays, and you do all the readings, you are guaranteed a good grade. He is hilarious, and one of the best professors I have ever had. His class has been one of the standout positives of my time at the College. Want to take again. You don't need the Madden book for this class.

Loved his class and I'm taking another with him next semester. However, your grade largely depends on your TA. There are differing expectations for the essays between the various TAs. For the amount of effort I put in I expected an A but got an A-. You shouldn't get less than an A- if you put in the work (which includes a lot of reading).

Oh my gosh, Daileader is amazing! Definitely my favorite professor so far. The class is a good amount of work, but Daileader makes it interesting. You will want to show up to class simply because he's absolutely hilarious! I would recommend taking it with him (only him) to everyone, whether you need it or not.

Already did this GER? Don't need this for your major? Think you're a person who likes to skip class? I don't care. Take this class and go every day. You'll want to. Why? Because an hour with Daileader is more entertaining than an hour of free time. The guy is the absolute bomb. The class is a lot of work (it's history!) but it's worth it.

The lectures are phenomenal! He's an engaging professor. 2 papers, weekly discussion quizzes and 1 final... Be prepared to read and take notes! His syllabus includes a guide for the discussion. Use the HRC at Blair and NOT the WRC to help with you papers.

Daileader is the best lecturer I've had in my two years of being here. He makes history less about memorization and more about the "why this matters" and "so what?" He is extremely charismatic and overall a great professor who clearly cares about his students and history. Even if you just need it for a GER, I definitely recommend this course to all
