Harris Daniels

"Professor Daniels is an awesome lecturer. His energy in class was infectious (despite it being 10 am in the basement of smudd). You can really tell how much he cares about teaching and the subject itself. In one class, he made a minor mistake in a proof that was quickly corrected by a student, but he was so embarrassed and told us that that class would be the worst of the semester, and he wouldn't do it again. This truly showed how much he cared about being a good professor; the mistake was so minuscule (and I didn't even really know what was going on to begin with). He also told us that when he took analysis in college, he really struggled, which made him relatable. Despite his own struggle with the class, he said he was not diluting anything for us, which I believe! The problem sets took a long time, but he was very helpful during office hours. The exams were challenging too, but his feedback was helpful. I learned a lot and am really glad I took this class with Professor Daniels. If you take this class, though, make sure to know the theorems and definitions by heart!"

"He is a passionate lecturer and emphasizes the importance of scratch work (he works on the side chalkboard often). He typically does not provide answer keys to homework and graders may take a while to return feedback, so be ready to ask any questions in class/during office hours/through email/etc. If you aren't solid on definitions, theorems, etc. and proof-writing techniques, you will likely struggle."
