Absolutely loved this class, Professor Danely is a great teacher. He explains everything very well and will help you understand if you don't. As long as you pay attention, take notes, and do the lab reports correctly, you'll pass.

Danely is the best teacher I've had so far at Ferris. He actually teaches the material and has some interesting stories from when he worked for GM. If you don't take notes or don't show up to class and you wont pass. Class grades consist of your lab grade and 4 exams throughout the semester. No homework except for the one extra credit he gave.

His lectures are really dry, but easy to follow. Just write down everything he puts on the board. He also reviews for tests and is very clear about what you will be tested on. Also, we used the book maybe twice.

Very interesting and fun class. I really learned a lot. Tests aren't too bad and he keeps lecture interesting. He's always willing to answer questions. Book is almost pointless to have.

Does not give back lab reports. It is almost the end of the semester and he has handed back 3 lab reports. We have done 9. Other than that, he is pretty clear. Study for the tests!

Good professor. Easy class if you go to lecture and take the notes. You only use the book maybe 2 times but dont really need it.

He tells you exactly what you neeed to know and study. As long as you study your notes its a pretty easy class. Its interesting, just lab writeups are long and repetative every week. Getting a good grade is easy as long and you do the work and study for the tests. He really knows his stuff. I have heard bad things about matl 341, but in not taking

Danely was great for MATL 240, but 341 is a totally different story. You learn a lot from this guy, but don't expext any free passes.

I WISH I COULD SAY THE SAME THING ABOUT DANELY AS I DID FOR MATL 240, BUT I CAN'T. THIS CLASS I A PURE EXAMPLE OF A PROF WHO THINKS THEIR CLASS IS YOUR ONLY CLASS. THE BEGINNING OF THE CLASS IS EASY, BUT BORING BECAUSE HE GOES OVER EVERYTHING FORM MATL 240. THEN ONCE YOU GET TO THE CASE STUDIES...RUN AND HIDE!!!

This class was awesome. He throws out a lot of material and notes, but if you go to class, write evrything down, and listen, you should do find. He is very helpful when it comes to the lab and questions.

What can I say that has not already been said...MATL 341 was the worst class...ever. I thought MATL 240 was interesting, but here, he makes you feel like an idiot. Essay test...good luck with those. And the case studies are ridiculus. Good luck to all of though who have yet to take this class!!!

THIS CLASS SUCKED! FIRST OFF, HE TREATS YOU LIKE A MATERIAL SCIENCE GRADUATE STUDENTS FROM MICHIGAN TECH. PLUS, HE HAS YOU DO THIS RIDICULOUS CASE STUDY THAT DOESN'T TEACH YOU JACK. IF YOU TAKE THIS CLASS, BRING A TUBE OF VASOLINE WITH YOU ON PRESENTATION DAY, IT WILL HELP REDUCE THE SWELLING!!!

This was a very interesting class. Gives a lot of notes, but class is done before you know it. Better study for the tests b/c they get harder as you go along. Lab was interesting too. Lab right ups can range from writing a 5 minute paper to working on them for an hour or so.

This guy knows everything about material science. As for the class, the labs a pretty boring, the tests are really easy if you go to class and study the notes. The book is usless.
