Dr. Danny is a great mentor. He actually cares about each student and is available to assist them with not only class assignments but with life. He is a great listener and has no problem responding to calls or emails promptly. National Louis should hire more professors like Dr. Dan. The class was great. He is a true teacher.
Dr. McGuire combines real world experience to class learned theories. This make it a perfect understandable applicable mix! His delivery method helped me retain class info in other classes profs give a ton of reading and homework and I did not grasp the info. Dr. Dan delivers the info in a way that I remember it! He is NLU's best kept secret!
Taking this negotiations class with Dr. Danny was like catching a pass from an all pro quarterback. He is a true professional combining the "real world" experience with theories from the book. The best teachermentor I have ever had because he actually cares about my success! Gets back to emailcalls within hours and sometimes minutes! True leader!
The best professor I have had in my experience at National-Louis. More professors should care about students like professor McGuire! Simply the best!
The most respected and professional professor at NLU. Had it not been for Dr. Dan, I would have left after having a TERRIBLE experience with other Criminal Justice professors at NLU. Dr. Dan inspired me to do my best!
Dr. Danny returned my email in exactly 11 minutes on one occasion and 9 on another not only answering my question but explaining it beyond what I asked. He is an incredible man with great knowledge which he shares freely. You get the impression that he wants you to succeed not just pass a class.
Great professor! Even better mentor!
What a great person as well as instructor. He uses real life examples to explain theories. Always available to help you!
What a wonderful experience. Dr. McGuire was always available and responded quickly to questions whether emails, texts or phone calls. Made the class fun and I learned a lot!
He helped me outside of school with my job. He inspired me to do my best.
As a student in pursuit of a career in law enforcement, Dr. Mcguire's past as a Chicago Police Officer has helped me gain the knowledge to help me think critically and effectively in various scenarios necessary for police work. Since my time here at NLU, Dr. Mcguire shared experiences on the job has contributed to the my career choice.
Great teacher. Always has great life experience stories that go along with the the points he's trying to make across. Will be there for students and definitely would take his classes!
He's the best!!

Good class taught by a passionate professor who teachers from his heart.
I had a issue in my personal life and I couldn't give school the proper due. Mr. McGuire worked with me and allowed me to catch up with the work and do extra work so I could finish. I had other teachers not work with me, but Danny did.
He is by far the best thing about NLU.
He share applicable experience as a police officer (not "war stories" like other professors here) and makes you think outside the box. Intelligent man who cares for his students. He is passionate about being a servant leader. He is authentic. The real deal with a great personality.
I have had a few professors since starting here and Professor McGuire is by far the best. He brings a lot of energy to his lectures and you really want to participate. I actually look forward to going to class.
Some of my other classes were nightmares and I looked forward to attending his class.
Always available. Returns calls and emails almost instantaneously. Good man with excellent character.
Doctor Mcguire is a mentor who cares. He has put me on a path to achieve my professional goals!

Great class by a great professor. Need more like him at the school!
Dr. Maguire is there for students. I called, emailed, and text him a few times during the semester and he responded usually in minutes with an answer and guidance. Great class and discussions too.
Professor McGuire goes above and beyond what other professors do. Always available for help and understands the students.
Doctor Danny is the best teacher I have had in this program. He is for the student and always returns calls and emails quickly. Thanks Dr. Danny. More college teachers should be like him!
At first when I heard Professor McGuire was former Law Enforcement and taught primarily in Criminal Justice I didn't know what to expect. After the first class I realized that Danny was the real deal. He is passionate and cares about his students no matter who or what they are. An incredible person who holds his values and character in high regard!
Danny is one of the best professors that I have encountered in my entire collegiate experience. His teaching method really allows the material to stick with you. I would recommend him to any student who wants to have a positive semester at NLU. When I asked, he even wrote me a recommendation letter. That meant a lot to me. Danny is the best!
The absolute best! Cares about students and helps them. He is what all teachers should be like!
I am a older student and I heard professor Danny was a former Chicago Policeman. I was nervous at first because of past experience with Chicago Police. Not only was Professor Danny a great teacher, he listen to our points of view with respect offering clear explanations to current issues allowing us a different view point. More like him please!
I am currently taking graduate class with Dr Mcguire at Calumet College. The guy knows his stuff and is very understanding of the working student going back. He doesn't bore you with "war stories". He values the importance of education and always let's you know through actions you are first! I wish he taught more at Cal College. The absolute best!
Great prof. The best I have had so far at NLU. Will be taking him again!
I have Dr. Mcguire for Adult Learning and he makes you critical think things and think outside the box. He is always there for you and understands how life effects you. He is open to new experiences and values students life experience. He just doesnt talk at you, he listens and talks with you. The best professor I had here.
Would take his class again. Real cool guy. He is positive and I tell all my friends to take him for whatever he teaches. Helped me prepare for job interviews and also find some.
Dr. Dan listens to students. He just doesn't talk. He offers students extra credit and extra help. Good person.
I was nervous about taking stats class and this was my last class needed for completion. Dr. Mcguire was incredible and helpful. He presented statistics in a manner in which I understood. Thanks Doc!
Great teacher.
Great Professor. Knows his stuff. Wish I had him for more classes.
I had Dr Danny for my Stats class at National Louis University in July 2015. He taught me so much more than just stats. He took a very stressful situation for me and helped me thru it. He makes it stress free and offers to be readily available for students. Teaches in a manner that students can easily relate to. Well worth my education investment
AWESOME Professor! He make classes understandable and applicable to the Criminal Justice field. He teaches from his experiences as well as all of the education he has received in all of his years of school. He understands that we are all adults and we have busy lives, all he asks in return is respect and communication. PoliceDoctor.
Outstanding experience. Wish all the Professors at the school were like Mr. McGuire. He is the best. Teaches from the heart! Love this guy! Really cares about students and let's you know it through his actions, which speak louder than words! A true inspiration! Thanks Doc!
I had the Doc for statistics class. I was petrified to take the class. Dr. Dan was awesome! He really help me understand the statistics. Not only that but he went out of his way to make sure I pass the class. He also help me understand what I need to finish school. She cares about you from start to completion. Can't say that about a lot of others.
Great class by a great Prof.
Outstanding instructor with real world experience. Take his classes at every opportunity.
What a great professor. Emailed me back in minutes. Was available for help and listened to me. He really inspired me. Can't wait to take more classes with him!
As long as you show and contribute to class discussion and turn in your homework on time, Dr. Danny is the best. He is easy going and works well with all students. Don't matter who your are or your age he cares about students. He also wrote me a letter of recommendation for a job in less then a day and I got the job!
Mr. McGuire is the best at this school. He is understanding and knows how to work with adults. I will take him for all my classes he teach.
Danny is the best. He is there for you. I contacted him regarding an assignment and he got back to me in about 2 hours with help and an answer. He is great!
As long as you show up and participate and do your assignments, Mr. McGuire is the best. And if you need extra help, he is there for you.
Participation and contributing to class discussions are encouraged.
Awesome Professor! Will love to have him for a class again :)
Professor McGuire is unlike any other professor I have had. He doesn't focus on memorizing and reciting information but rather learning through each other's experiences and real world applications of the concepts covered in class. This allowed us to learn at our own pace rather than agonizing over retaining as much information as possible.
Great mentor, role model.
One of the best teachers I've ever taken .
Great Prof! Taking him again when the opportunity arises. Cares about you and always available.
Professor McGuire takes the time to explain and give example of the course material. He makes sure every student is on the same page. Professor McGuire goes above and beyond to make sure all of his students know their own potential and encourage them to achieve their highest goals.

Daniel McGuire is a very fair and thoughtful instructor. His class is very educational. Sure, there were writing assignments. As long as the homework was turned in on time you would not need to do extra credit unless you wanted to. Professor McGuire had excellent attendance was never late.
