Comment:

He is a friar and is really easy. I took him for West and World I and man was that the easiest A I had ever received. Missed 6 classes cause it was a 9:10 and the fella still gave me an A. He was the head of the history department and I went to him to complain a lot about other teachers and he listened without judgment. like a friar should....

Fr. Dan was the best professor I had at Siena. He was there for you in the classroom and outside the classroom. I recommend taking him for multiple classes throughout the four years you will spend at Siena. He's a great prof and even better person.

Fr. Dwyer is a great professor. Took him for Russian history, and the class was so interesting. Shows a ton of videos to compliment the material in class. Went to his office hours about ideas for a research paper, and he helped me construct a solid topic for a great paper. Lenient with attendance- missed a bunch of classes and still had a B-.

I have taken Father Dan for 6 different classes. I would take him for my entire course load if I could. He only gives a midterm, final, and 1 paper due at the end of the semester. Sometimes he throws one small assignment in the mix but thats it. He deeply cares about his students success and will accommodate you if needed. Hes always reachable.

Father dan rocks!! Nice guy, likes to crack jokes and get his students engaged. Can be a little tough when it comes to grading but he barely gives any home work, is willing to help you, and is very flexible. Also is very easy about skips

History of Russia was one of the best classes I've taken at Siena. Father Dan is among the best professors that Siena has to offer. The class is straightforward and requires little work in between the Midterm and Final, and those just require some study. Take any class with him and don't think twice!

Father Dan is the reason I am a History Major. His class was not only my favorite class at Siena but he is one of the nicest guys I've ever met. His test isn't hard as long as you go over the vocab sheet, its all definitions and matching.

Fr. Dan is my favorite professor because it is an easy A but also because he is just so friendly and understanding, and wants to meet and know everyone in the class. If you go to talk to him once, he'll love you. He is not at all a harsh grader, and his only drawback is that some lectures can be boring, but a lot of them also have lots of videos.

I love history but if I didn't I would still like this class because we watch videos all the time that take up half the class or sometimes the entire class. He's been my favorite professor so far. Very little homework and wicked easy online multiple choice quizzes that only take around 5 minutes. Definitely take him.

Had him for West & World & Dutch Roots of NY. The lectures are pretty boring, just goes through power points. Study guide for midterm and final with a ton of terms, but if you know them the tests are straightforward and fill in the blank. He's pretty lenient on grading the tests too. He's one of the nicest professors and is hilarious. Great guy.

Father Dan is a great guy, but his classes are an onslaught of powerpoint presentations that never fail to ignite a heated battle between you and the powerful temptation of sleep. Sometimes, sleep wins. However, his midterm and finals are supremely easy.

Great Professor. Allows 6 "free days," that you can miss. Provides a huge study guide for tests. Assigns no homework, but encourages you to read the book. Assigns final essay at the beginning of the year so you actually have time to write it. Good guy, one of the few professors actually on your side.

Comment:

If you are not a history major, don't take his class. I have taken so many classes at Siena and this by far is the most BORING class I have had to sit in. He talks to you as you are a history major, and expects you to know all of this crazy information. Easy but really really boring! Take another professor if you want to stay awake!!
