ME166 . Daly S H 6 Years Ago

She is a super knowledgable professor. The class is too condensed however, and you can tell she has a hard time explaining some concepts. She was a fine professor for statics, but I found her lectures confusing for ME 166.

Lectures were very helpful. Homework was not too difficult and solutions were posted beforehand. Tests were very difficult. Lots of studying is necessary.

Professor Daly is so passionate about this class. I have enjoyed this technical elective and highly recommend. Class is graded by a few quizzes, participation, and a final project.

Professor Daly is all about her student's success. She will explain each concept exactly as you need to know it, and she makes sure you won't feel lost when knowing how to practice and what to study. Homework grades are basically free points which means all you need to worry about are three exams of average difficulty. Grades were kindly curved.

Great lecturer. This quarter, homework solutions were given with the homework which were always given 100%, making practicing the material much easier without having to stress over a grade. Midterms are harder than the homework (especially 2), but still very doable. Also, do practice exams, most efficient way to prepare.

Professor Daly is friendly and approachable. Her lectures are easy to follow and while some concepts are challenging, she does a good job going through examples in class. Her exams are tough but fair. If you attend all lectures and do homework sets you should be fine.
