Reviews of professor Mike Dacey

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Very understanding and offers great support if needed. Lots of reading but don't need to do it all to understand the class.

Worst processor I have taken a course with at Bates College. Excessive readings, mind numbing topics, he doesnt engage the class well, and grades harshly. The list goes on, but all I can say is steer clear of anything taught by Mike Dacey.

Solid intro class, solid prof. Didn't love it, didn't hate it.

Overall prof Dacey's lectures drag tf on and get on long tangents making the content unclear. Make good friends in the class because the subject matter can be confusing. Grades on a check, check plus, check, minus, fail policy and only gives feedback for papers/if you go for office hours. Take if youre interested but don't expect him to be engaging

I did not enjoy: 
Interesting material but slow cadence of prof lecture was difficult for me. 
Minimal class discussion, not conducive to learning (he tried but the energy was not there). 
Lack of addressing sexism/ableism in readings. 
Minimal writing feedback. 
Interesting paper topics (based on readings) and blind grading but very difficult.

Pretty long lectures that dragged on. The class got swept away on tangents and I was left not getting the material. He gives everyone a B+
