I have his class, I have used the notes he allowed us to use on the test. I used the formulas but I ended up bombing the test. I am retaking the class with someone else.

Comment:

I was a psychology major and had Dr. Daily several times (for stats and research methods, memory and cog, directed readings, and senior thesis). I really learned how to write an appropriate and compelling APA research paper through his classes. He expects critical thinking, and that's why you're in college. He also had a great dry sense of humor!

My FAVORITE psych prof. I've had him for 371, 484, and 485. He's so friendly and funny/corny. So smart and knows his stuff, which makes his lectures interesting. He's a very tough grader though. If you go to him for help, he'll tell you exactly what you need/what he wants to see. If you follow his advice, you'll get an A or B for sure. Great guy.

Comment:

Great Professor. Really does care about his students and will go above and beyond to make sure the material is understood - all you have to do is ask. He always tried to throw in a joke or two which, even though they're not always the best, still lightens up the class. Great guy to have a talk with in and out of the classroom.

He is so nice and so funny. I would take him again if I could. His class reminds me of when I was in high school. Do your homework and pay attention and you will have an A for sure.

Comment:

I've had Dr. Daily for a few different classes, and I have to say that he is my favorite professor of Psychology at Shepherd University. He knows how to relate to his students and keep them interested, and his subject knowledge is profound (though he really excels at Mem and Cog), so that class is a must take with him. Very difficult, but helpful.

One of the best professors I've had. He really knows what he's talking about and I found him to be pretty engaging. You have to be there for the quizzes, but he usually tells you when the next quiz after finishing a chapter.

WOWSERS! PROS: Allows ample class time for questions about homework, etc., overall nice guy. CONS: Can be moody, is passive aggressive in the way that he chooses questions (especially ones that are on exams). NOTE: All quizzes have five true and five false answers. Didn't find this out until 3/4 into the semester. :/ Lacks communication at times.

Comment:

Pretty challenging classes overall, but Daily really does do a good job overall. Tough on exams, but gives you potential questions beforehand. Requires 3 APA papers and is tough on grammar and content so make sure you proofread your stuff. May seem difficult, but really helps you prepare for graduate school and other higher education.

Comment:

Professor Daily is very nice and very helpful. He actually cares about his students. There's a lot more math in the class then I'd like, but that's what you get when you sign up for statistics. Even if you bomb the tests, your homework and quizzes will most likely save you!

He's a great professor. He genuinely cares about his students and cares about their progress in the class. It's a tough class, but he'll do his best to help you. Exams are kind of tough, but make sure you go to class. If you don't, you'll get confused.

Comment:

Literature review was easy but time consuming. Finding articles for your project can be more difficult than you'd think. 15 page final paper was quickly written and his exams are exactly what is on the study guides that he thoroughly goes over before the exam. Teaches APA style. Very helpful.

Comment:

I took stats in high school to my utter confusion, but Dr. Daily made it crystal clear. I actually knew what I was doing for the first time. His Powerpoint lectures are extremely simplistic and to-the-point. Tests are very difficult--not tricky, but you will strain your brain instead of regurgitate lecture. Take with him instead of a math prof!

Comment:

If you (like most psych majors) are enteraining the pipe dream of becoming a therapist, Dr. Daily's classes will reveal more relevant and stimulating aspects of psychology that get no popular attention. His 20 pg term papers will give you a taste of what a real education demands,(few classes at Shepherd require them) and should not be griped about

Comment:

In a word: quirky. I like that he is so excited about his field. He chooses interesting examples from the material. Too much name-date memorization, but there are no surprises--he tells you what you need to know. You'll hate lab reports but they will help you. Attendance not graded, but missing class WILL hurt you come exam time. Take good notes!
