Reviews of professor Lauren Dalton

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Do not take this class with this professor! Extremely picky on grading and content is confusing. She doesn't teach well and has a bad personality. Anyone I've talked to has also had issues with this class.

Doesn't take constructive criticism well. Also won't really acknowledge when she's wrong (people make mistakes and it's not hard to own up to it and correct it). thankfully offers extra credit because the grading rubric is BEYOND difficult to get a decent grade when you worked hard and she offers no helpful hints.

Assigns midterms/finals that take hours to complete, picks through them with a fine comb, and then complains that she doesn't have enough time to grade... Honestly, she's just arrogant and tries too hard to be funny and personable. It's clear she really doesn't care about her students.

Dr. Dalton is one of my favorite professors EVER! But a hard class if you don't study--hence the ratings. Dr. Dalton is lenient: 90% is an A (not 94%), office hours 3x/week, exams that are take-home, open-internet/note with allowed group work. She's caring, funny, & intelligent. Got a 98% because I attended class + did the practice problems.

Sometimes gets really condescending and acts like questions are dumb when the problem tends to be her teaching...

I found that Professor Dalton was very straightforward with her expectations for us as students. The course did require a fair amount of reading to be prepared for class before the lecture, but it was never too much to handle. The class was structured well and the TAs along with Professor Dalton made lots of time for help if students needed it.

Worst prof I've had at OSU and lowest grade I've ever gotten in a class. I didn't learn a thing from her/had to teach myself. She would get upset every time anyone had a question in lecture and her grading was incredibly hard (not one student got 100% on any test/major assignment). Went from an A- to a D in the class from the final exam alone.

Dr. Dalton's lectures are interesting and she's a great presence in the classroom. I give her credit for being engaging with the class and keeping us interested. But, I think that what she wants to talk about does not align with what is graded, making this class very difficult to get an A in. Not to mention, she does not respond well to criticism.

I enjoyed this class, though it took some getting used to. Dr. Dalton wrote course notes in lieu of a textbook, which made it much easier to study the material we needed to learn. The group recitation and exam problems were challenging, but working through them and talking about them with others really helped me better understand the material.
