Reviews of professor Daniel Lyles

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I heard he only gives A-s (as long as you put in *some* effort) & this is definitely true. He has a lot of wisdom, & I respect him, but he kind of phones it in when it comes to being a professor. He barely grades anything & gives no feedback. If you're the type to argue that you deserved an A over an A- in a 2-credit class, choose a different prof.

No students got their grades until a week before finals. Don't expect email responses either. Other than that, the readings are okay and the class isn't hard. Genuinely a nice guy and has a fun time in lecture.

Took PD 2 with Professor Lyles. He takes this 2 credit course too f***ing seriously. Throughout the semester, I was more stressed about getting his work done rather than my advanced CS classes. One 40+ page reading a week plus a reflection, on top of a group project dye every week. Should be a 4 credit class or there should be less work.

Please take this class with Hoffman instead. Dr.Lyles is funny at first and then you quickly realize he doesn't grade anything on time for the majority of the semester and gives strict yet unclear deadlines. You won't have the time to work through your essays/ projects. He doesn't respond to any of his emails either.

Don't understand why people think he gives too much work. It's 1 assignment that's 2-4 questions and there's no packback for his classes. Only downside is that he assigns midterm and final paper a week before it's due. He talks for a full class time which sometimes is a little tiring but all in all this class is low workload and easily manageable.

Does not use class time effectively and is horrible at relating his lectures to the weekly readings and the syllabus material. Talks about himself and how smart he is every chance he gets. Doesn't update grades until the very last minute so you're always wondering what your grade is. Tells only Millenial jokes and does a poor job of engaging us.
