I don't think he was supposed to teach my class but he did. There was 8 or so books we had to get for the class so try and thrift those. He wasn't clear that we had to read the whole entire book before the class we began discussing it and the lectures were just him going over the books.

Definitely the best teacher I had at UB, If you don't take a class that he teaches then you will have a bad time. Truly the beating heart of UB and the man is a literary genius with some funny stories as well.

He is a really nice guy that really cares about his students. He's looking for everyone to do improve throughout the semester. Only stressful part of the class was that the second exam included materials from the first exam and second. It's do-able and he's really nice and understanding if you cannot complete an assignment on time/ come to class.

Dr. Daly is by far the best professor I've ever had. His class taught me not only a lot about literature, but a lot about life. He keeps lecture interesting with personal stories of his and interpretations of American literature. Exams and essays are straightforward, take a class with Daly and you will be in for a treat!

Dr. Daly's currently writing my recommendation letter, which I'll be submitting to law schools, so that in and of itself should give you a hint as to how helpful he is. Dr. Daly, in my opinion, is the broad tip to UB's English department. Would highly suggest enrolling in at least two classes with Daly if you want to boost your GPA and be educated.

Dr. Daly is a favorite amongst the evaluative English department students, including myself. With lectures that not only pertain to the reading, but to life, he delivers material that is sure to have a lasting impact upon your life. A wonderful professor.

There is a lot of reading and not a lot of time to do it in, but that's really the hardest part. He points out all potential test questions during lectures. Partial credit on exams, and I don't know anyone who got less than an A on their final papers... and trust me, those were not all 'A' papers.

Taken many of his classes and enjoy his lectures very much. Only warning is you better enjoy reading because there's about a novel a week. Picks very interesting reads though and only two very very easy tests. Have to enjoy reading and discussing novels.

Professor Daly was always very helpful, you could ask him to repeat a sentence or phrase over and over again and he never seemed annoyed that you asked but would kindly and patiently repeat himself. He would give amazing review sessions for the exams that were so helpful and he even included extra "free days" at the end of his syllabus. Awesome!

He is such a knowledgeable professor. His research is amazing and his stories about his life are so unique. He gives a lot of leeway on his tests and papers, he just wants to know that you have been paying attention in class. He is such a good teacher that you'll want to read the novels.

Great professor but perhaps a little over-hyped on this website. Although his classes are usually interesting, or at least his anecdotes are, I found him confusing. There are constant and awkward pauses in class. I don't like the outline of the exams. I think, for someone of Daly's stature, the exams would be more unique and intriguing.

Dr Daly is a truly inspiring professor. I would recommend his classes to anyone. He is very knowledgable and makes his classes engaging for all involved. That said, what I'm sure you'd really like to know is that, if you read the books, he is a fair grader and it is not difficult to do well in his class.

Amazing professor. I was put into his class by the honors college due to a scheduling conflict, and it became my favorite class of the semester. Easy, fun class if you read the books, take notes, and study for midterms. He has a vast amount of knowledge and the in-class conversations are amazing. Make certain that you take one of his classes

Professor Daly is the best English professor at UB. Period. Going to class isn't a chore at all; instead, his classes feel like story time. He's an engaging professor, a very witty man, and extremely intelligent. If you're an English major and you haven't taken a class with him, you're missing out.

Dr. Daly's class is the intellectual experience of a lifetime. He is a brilliant professor who's teaching enables you, not just to better confront and understand literature, but to make better sense of the world and learn to lead a better life. I highly recommend him to anybody. He is transformative.
