Comment:

Values attendance, if you don't show up, your grade WILL suffer quickly. She grades "firm but fair". If you speak well, have good writing skills, and attend every class you should have no problem making an A or B.

Comment:

Really awful professor. She gave mounds of work that were unhelpful and unnecessary but she did not explain ANYTHING. I think she enjoyed making her classes lives miserable. We had to be at every class or we would lose a letter grade but I have never wasted more time on nothing important. I took away more from my uninteresting core classes

Interesting class, gives some useful tips to use in your life. Delahanty gives a fair amount of work and grades it somewhat harshly, but she is understanding that the class is a lot of work and will adjust the assignments and their due dates. Most of the class is based on a few group projects, so pray that you get a good group to work with.

The entire class is based around group projects. Such a hard grader and gives a ton of busy work that is not necessary for the class at all. Not helpful at all and has an attitude when you present or answer in a way she doesn't like.

Comment:

The worst class/teacher at Towson. Delahanty gave multiple assignments at once that were never explained. She never returned grades. Class lectures were useless. Don't take this class unless you want to be buried with pointless time-consuming projects all semester that you will only receive poor grades on with no explanation.

Do not take this professor! This was one of my worst classes taken at Towson. Delahanty never explained assignments, gave us 4 at a time, we had busy work due two-three times a week and it took hours to complete. We were forced to go to class and in class we never learned one thing . It was the biggest waste of time every week. DO NOT TAKE!!

Comment:

I had Delahanty and this was one of my favorite courses while at Towson. The class is hard and she does make you work for your grade. However, if you make an effort and improve through the course of class it will prove to be beneficial. Also, she made group work very enjoyable!

VERY hard grader who values attendance more than the class itself. Get ready for extremely long projects and unnecessary amounts of work. Do not take if you dont have to

Get ready to be working with a group for the whole semester. You have 2 group presentations, and 2 other papers, which is basically make up your grade. NO TESTS AT ALL! There's no point in purchasing the textbook, we didn't use it at all the entire semester. She really wants the best for all her students, highly recommend Delahanty!

Very small class; becomes your family. Lots of homework. All presentations, no tests. Learn to cooperate with a team. Great at feedback, understands the subject well. EVERYONE SHOULD TAKE THIS CLASS. Very helpful. Very sweet.

Comment:

She can be really tough. She won't let you off if you wait till the last minute to do an assignment. She really likes students who participate and are involved with the class. It's a good class but she is a tough grader and doesn't give assignments back in a timely matter.

Comment:

Tons of work. Gives large projects without much discussion into them or much time to work on them, while also assigning in class assignments. The in class work would be fine if it wasn't for all of the other work. Class needs to be toned down to focus on what is really important. Probably could find a better professor to teach 301

Comment:

Improvement is a must in this class. Expect a lot of group work and time wasted on nonsense. Other than that, it's pretty straight forward. I'd intentionally do bad on the first presentation and then make a killer one for the final. Instant A.

Comment:

Do not expect her to teach you how to complete the assignments. This class is about applying what you already know or can figure out for yourself. Most work is group work; option to reorg. groups if failure. Great, fun, feedbacky teacher, but don't let her fool you. She expects a lot and you have to work to deliver.

Comment:

Not too bad... I expected much worse, given all of the strict requirements for admittance to 460. Journals are a drag, but the classes can be lively and fun thanks to Ms. Delahanty. Grading of assignments seems all over the place, but Ms. D does at least offer some helpful constructive criticism. Be warned: she is something of a slow grader.

Biggest problem is that she literally never returned grades. Otherwise, fairly easy teacher and easy class compared to other 301 teachers. Would recommend but dont expect to see any grades...

Really not that bad. I turned in a few assignments late and did horrible on the first assignments but she really cares about improvement. Projects suck but the final one is kinda fun. Asks you what grade you think you deserve and really takes that into account. NEVER miss class. Take her

Comment:

This class was a nightmare. Prof D is extremely unclear on her expectations of assignments, yet is eager to rip into things you turn in. She also NEVER returns any work so you will have no idea what your grade is the entire semester. The class is 2 big projects + 1 career report + pointless memos. I think she gives less work than other professors.

Comment:

I'd say this is the lesser of evils. Not hard to pass, just make sure your presentations are boss. Research your topics and the rest should be smooth. People did the best if they asked Delahanty how to improve their assignments before turning in. So, do that.
