Ms. Delaney is one of my favorite professors. She is more than fair in grading. The subject is hard and not very exciting, but she does her best to make it interesting. Everything is graded on a curve, and if you show up regularly she is VERY merciful on your grade if you tried you best and still didn't do well. Very nice and extremely smart.

She posts all the notes on e-companion, grades on a curve, gives bonus points, gives you chances to overturn exam questions you thought where unfair (and there is 2-3 question success rate at that). what more can she do? All that bad comments are from people that didnt show up to class, and didn't print the notes up. You wont do well if your lazy.

Delaney is a very nice teacher, very cheerful and friendly. however the actual course is not very educational, and not well taught in my opinion, due to very large scaling of grades, and after every test the teacher asking what is wrong. prone to arbitrary questions such as, on the FINAL: "What video clip did we watch in class?"

I love Mrs. Delaney! She makes biology so interesting and understandable. She is very strict about missing tests, but she lets you make them up if you have a written excuse. All her tests are multiple choice and she goes over practically all the test questions before the test. She's awesome! I'm taking her again for BLY 102.
