Reviews of professor Daniel Balena

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Attendance not mandatory but beneficial. I cannot say enough good things about Mr. Balena. He's an amazing professor! I have always been scared of math bc I believed I was terrible and doomed. I waited until my senior year to finally take it. He gives many resources to strengthen your calculus skills. Very approachable. Always made me feel heard.

The best math proff EVERRR!!! I had him online so all I had to do is watch the lectures on youtube and they were absolutely amazing and well explained. He even offered for me to come to an in person lecture when I was struggling. Amazing teacher right here.

Professor Balena is an amazing professor. He has interesting lectures, occasional humor, and he genuinely wants all his students to be successful. There is a textbook for the course, but I've been fine without it. If you miss class there are lectures posted on YouTube. He is a very understanding professor, and I highly recommend him.

If you are scared of calculus.. Take this guy. He breaks it down so well, that you will totally get it. He answers emails in a timely manner, is just generally super thorough. His class ended up being online this semester but it was SSUUPPER simple to follow. Download an app like simplescanner and you are golden.

This was my second time time Cal. 1 and he made everything easy and understanding. If you struggle with math this would be the teacher best fit for you.

I can't say enough amazing things about Balena! He is the best math teacher I have ever had. He's very kind and patient and obviously cares about his students. I would take him every semester if I could. He explains every concept a few ways to make sure everyone understands

Was always very kind and personable. He always replied to emails fairly quick and gave good feedback on quizzes and tests. He even let us rework some test questions for extra points.

As someone with a learning disability in math, this course was a LIFE SAVER. I've always struggled really badly with math, but his lectures made the concepts so incredibly easy that I even felt he dumbed them down a bit TOO much at times. I am super thankful to how easy he made this course for me! If you struggle with math, take this professor!
