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.

Easily the worst professor I've had. I love statics as a topic, but I hated this class. All homework must be submitted in person, on paper to a mail box. All grades are handed back in person, and you must calculate your grade yourself. Lectures were funny, but not actually helpful in understanding the material at all. The TAs saved me this class.

Professor Daly isn't bad. But when the class was doing well, she decided to significantly up the difficulty of later quizzes to "test the limits of our abilities." It almost was like we were punished for doing too well. I feel like she made the material much harder than it should actually be. But the format of the online course was very forgiving.

Her class was structured really well for an online format. No midtern or final only 6 quizzes of which she drops one of them. The rest of your grade is based on homework. She can explain topics really well and is an overall good person. Her quizzes can be pretty tricky tho, you basically have to know what youre doing or else you wont finish in time

Very not math heavy engineering class - no exams and few homework sets. Almost exclusively graded on papers and projects. Very fun and infomative; teaches you to consider all sorts of different things you might not have thought about before.

Talks fast, doesnt use visuals much and doesnt explain visuals well. Smart teacher.

Professor Daly is a wonderful person who knows the material well and wants to help her students succeed. She is available in office hours but the class was still very difficult since homework questions are long and exams are complicated. She says she gives two midterms so one won't tank your grade, but the second midterm still clobbered my grade.

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.

Dr. Daly is amazing, but falls short in so many ways. She needs to stop reading the powerpoints

Dr. Daly is a wonderful ME professor. Her lectures are very clear and concise and she has the talent to explain concepts very well to her students. Statics isn't the hardest course in terms of material but Daly's exams are rather challenging.

Professor Daly is so amazing. I have taken two classes with her and have learned so much. Her tests are hard, but if you actually do the homework, show up to class, and go to office hours, she will really work with you to make sure you do well. Highly recommend taking any classes she teaches regardless of the topic.

This class was a very challenging one, but if you apply yourself, and go to Daly, she is more than willing to help. The homework doesn't have too many problems but it takes a Loong time to get it done right. Her tests are hard. She tests to see if you know the material by how easily you can put it together for a hard problem in a time crunch. Read.
