Comment:

Dr. Dailey is one of the best science professors I've ever had in my life. He genuinely cares about teaching and wants students to truly learn and understand organic chemistry. The exams are challenging but manageable (if you spread out your studying, ask for help, and are really curious).

Comment:

So interesting reading positive comments by students in this professor's case, especially the ones about being easy to approach and helpful. Then again, most of those also were written several years ago. Obviously, something has changed.

Comment:

Absolutely awful. Has no interest in his students or their well being whatsoever. It's a huge disappointment that a university of the caliber of UPenn keeps an individual such as this on its staff. Clearly ignores the university's professed mission to be mindful of the emotional well being of its students and to recognize needs and provide support.

Amazing prof. Hands down the best chemistry professor I've had at Penn. I didn't think orgo could be a good experience, but Dr. Dailey makes it bearable (and almost enjoyable).

Comment:

He's just terrible. Will go on and on about semantical nonsense, and makes test absurdly difficult. Why would you brag that most students make a 30-50 on your exams? If everyone misses it, the problem clearly lies with him.

Comment:

Wish I had gotten my act together sophomore year to fully appreciate Professor Dailey's teaching...second semester Ochem is a killer class but he made it tolerable. He genuinely seems to care about teaching, which is rare in Penn's chem department.

Comment:

Taught 2nd semester of organic chem which is TOUGH no matter who teaches it. Still, he was approachable and conduct lectures very organized. Available during office hours but need to do lots of problems to prepare for midterms. Study lots for any orgo.
