Comment:

She does great work in teaching. She would explain again if you didn't understand and take her time. participation is a way to demonstrate that you are interested in the class. Be aware of pop quizzes because she will tell you when you are going to have them as she will not tell you. 3 tests, but with preparation and studying you will pass.

Comment:

Nice woman, but does not know technology, writes everything by hand (lots of mistakes), and has an accent. Class was very disorganized and she was constantly rushing through lessons making it easy to fall behind. Exams are 100 points each (3), one final, and 5 pop quizzes. Bought the textbook and never used it. Write everything down in class!

Comment:

Considering that she had to teach math online, she did it VERY well. She always stopped to ask if the students understand and will go back to explain in details if the concept is not understood. exams and pop quizzes were literally all homework problems so make sure you do your homework! she is very kind and helpful.

She is a great calc professor, she teaches very quickly and very efficiently. If you fall behind in class however it is up to you to catch up. She does not slow the class down for a few students if everyone is fine. Her tests are fair and her homework is fair.

She will ask a lot if you completely understood the lectures. She will also go over questions from the assigned homework in case you have problems progressing and will also help with your homework questions during class time. Quizzes are easy and the exams are also easy as the came from the HW. The HW is quite a lot but not difficult. RECOMMENDED!!

Notifies you of quizzes and exams beforehand. Made Differentials so easy for me! She was straightforward with teaching and grading. You just have to do the homework to study for quizzes and exams and you'll be fine. Very easy to approach also

Comment:

Professor Daly is great, her class is fairly reasonable but its calculus lol. She cares about the students and is open to help. Her class is made up of 5-6 quizzes which one is dropped totaling 15% 3 Tests that are 15% each hw 10% and the final which is 30% as long as you participate and study the hw and try to study the material.

Comment:

The worst professor I've ever had. Lectures are confusing and fast. Each class session was like torture. Gives lots of homework. Doesn't give partial credit. Get ready for pop quizzes. No mercy whatsoever. Not friendly when it comes to asking questions and understanding the material. Don't take her. Don't even think about taking her.

Comment:

If you've never taken a calculus class you will definitely be lost in this class. She goes fast but she's an amazing professor. You can always ask for help or go to her office hours. The class is based on three exams, homework, pop quizzes, and a final. Attendance isn't mandatory but pop quizzes can't be made up.

Comment:

She is super IRRATIONAL when it comes to how she grades. Most of my class was consistently getting zero's on our quizzes because of how tough of a grader she is. She definitely does not believe in partial credit so if you rely on that to help you pass tests, then good luck. She has an accent and isn't very help when you ask for help. DO NOT TAKE.

Comment:

She is not the worst Professor as many reviews are here say, however, if you have not taken precalc and jump straight to calc then you are going to to have a hard time with any professor anyway. calc is not an easy subject. She does, however, give pop quizzes based on the online HW. Lecture heavy. Exams based on HW. Accessible outside class.

Comment:

She is the worst Calc professor. I don't recommend to any student whos taking calc for the first time. She has an accent which makes it hard to understand. I learned more about Calc 1 by watching Youtube and going to tutoring. DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT TAKING HER IF YOUR NOT REALLY GOOD AT MATH. Calculus is on another level, so take somebody else plz.

If you have the chance to avoid her, do so. She is a VERY tough grader and will show no mercy or pity even if you get a problem partially correct. She hands out VERY tough tests as well. Most of the class had failing grades. Also, there is a reason why her classes are the only one open. AVOID IF YOU CAN. GOOD LUCK IF YOU OPT TO TAKE HER.

Comment:

Throughout my educational career, I have never had a worse instructor. The tests don't contain any similar questions as the homework assigned; the problems are practically not even similar. No partial credit given. Pop quizzes. No curves. The class itself isn't necessarily difficult, but Prof. Daly's obnoxious grading makes it impossible to pass.

Comment:

Shes certainly not the worst teacher I've come across at CSUN, but certainly not one of the better ones. She was hard to learn from (my opinion). If you haven't taken Calculus before in high school and/or have a solid general understanding before hand... good luck.

I have had professor Daly for two classes at CSUN. Math 150B and Math 280. She is a fantastic professor and also a great person. Her classes are challenging, but if you put in the work, study, and engage during lecture you WILL do well. She definitely seems intimidating at first, but she is truly an overall great professor.

Comment:

She was awesome! I took the class before with another professor at a different school and I failed. This professor explained everything far more clearly. As long as you pay attention you can pass. I did study quite a bit, but it is a calculus class so don't expect to find one where you don't have to study.
