Reviews of professor Meagan Dunphy-Daly

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
One of the highlights of the Nich School! She is kind, open, and ready to engage with students. Readings are light but lecture covers a lot. Dr. Dunphy-Daly also probes you to think critically. Readily accessible outside of class, accommodating, and willing to listen to students. TAs were nice but not informative and helpful.

Meagan is such an amazing person. Marine Megafauna is such an interesting class and it was organized so well - expectations were very clear. Not a ton of homework but the readings were very relevant and interesting. Meagan is so accessible in office hours and really loves to get to know her students. DUML field trip was def a semester highlight.

Meagan is caring, accessible, and she wants you to succeed. She is a very good lecturer. You have to know a lot of information for her tests but it is totally feasible to study and do well. The class is fun and the difficulty is not high. Beware of the group projects though. They can be really annoying if you get stuck with a bad group.

Professor Dunphy-Daly is AMAZING. I'm not a bio major, but took Marine Megafauna for my NS credit. Learned A TON, became inspired by the ocean, and did some really cool projects. Didn't get to go to the marine lab this semester because of COVID-19, but class was SO WORTH IT. One of best classes I have taken at Duke!

I loved Meagan's class! She's a great professor, kind human being, and very accessible outside of class. The course was graded very fairly. It was easy to do well if you went to every lecture and just paid attention. She's a great lecturer.

Meagan is so supportive and understanding. Her lectures were really engaging and she made the material very easy to understand. Super generous with grading. There is no final - just a paper at the end of the class where you can choose your own topic. Highly recommend.

Professor Dunphy-Daly is perhaps the nicest person on earth. Seriously, she is absolutely lovely! Her enthusiasm and passion for marine biology are so infectious that you cannot help but fall in love with this field of study. I am an English major, but she made class accessible and exciting for non-bio majors. I cannot sing enough praise for her!
