Daniels was an awesome teacher to me. He is tough, but he is an amazing mind, insightful, and made me become a better student and writer. I ended up getting a second major due to his classes. I suggest all students take one of his classes, but be prepared to work and be challenged. You enter with an open mind, you will leave enriched.

worst class I've ever taken. assigns 8 books and 2 long essays on all the books. lectures have literally nothing to do with the books. I don't know if he ever even mentioned the title of any of the books in one class, but still decides to take random attendance and if you miss 3 you're drop failed from the class. take anything else

Worst class ever. Lecture is completely pointless, but he sporadically takes role because he knows if he didn't, no one would show up. Giant essays are the only grades, and they're based entirely on the 9 books you have to read. Lots of work. AVOID THIS CLASS AT ALL COSTS

worst professor ever. 9 books to read and 3 essays (it's not even a writing requierement!!). He keeps rambling during lecture, and his lectures have nothing to do with the essays since they are ONLY on the 9 books. Your TA is the one grading you for EVERYTHING so find a great TA (Karen liu is awesome). You can't even take this class P/NP.AVOID IT

I wrote a paper for the midterm and got it back; he absolutely destroyed it. I have never received lower than a B- on an essay. He is making me rewrite it, but with no constructive comments to guide me. Such things like, "UGH, Sigh, Do you have a problem using 'white people' in an active voice?" Extremely rude without needing to be.

Everyone has their own opinion. Mine is he is the worst teacher I have ever encountered. His lectures are irrelevent to the the topic of the class and merely talks about how america sucks. He apparently is a history prof, but grades like a bad english prof.
