He is quick at grading assignments and is very helpful when asked questions.
He is awesome because we leave class early and quizzes and asssignments are to handed in through email.
Good guy looks like Shia LaBeouf, but thats not his fault. Great class for your first time college student.
Professor Dalina is a great professor. Even though night classes are usually a drag, he makes the time go by fast. He is kind and thinks he's funny, but his corny jokescomments make class fun. I would recommend him to everyone.
Really easy and pretty entertaining class.
Prof. Dalina, hands down my fav prof. this semester. SSD was well worth it with him. He is such a down to earth guy. He gives extra credit and does take attendance. His only down fault, he's an Eagles fan. Other then that I recommend him to everyone. I would take this class over with him teaching any day.
Prof. Dalina is a good guy. His class is very entertaining and easy. Easily get an A. Must take his class for GPA booster. No textbook buying.
I had prof. Dalina for 2 classes,I received an A in 1 class and based on my grades in the class that just ended I'm probably getting an A as well. He's easy and you will get a good grade, you just have to do the work. He's 26 so he's the opposite of those old, uptight profs that we all hate. He's laid back, hilarious, and does every via powerpoint!
Awesome professor, very clear on what to expect from his students. Just do the assignments and tests and you'll pass.
I had him this summer for sociology, he was a great guy. Answers all the questions you have thoroughly and cares about teaching is students. He makes class fun and passes by quickly. Pay attention in class and show up and you will be fine.
I like the fact that he takes his job very serious and he is always willing to help others.
Mr. Dalina is such a great teacher. he is soo funny and laid back if you need help he wil be there and give you a good answer. he is young so he knows how we think and plus hes super cute too which is a plus
Best professor i ever had by far! he is very understanding when it comes to students when it comes to problems with due assignments! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO TAKE HIM!!!!
He's definitely one of the top 5 professors at MCC and that pretty much sums it up.
He is one of the best professors at MCC. He also lets you out early every class.
I took the class online. Do all the assignments and message boards and you will get an A. Professor Dalina grades quickly and responds to emails quick. He gives a lot of extra credit to add to your final grade. No textbook all you need is his lecture power-points. He makes his class very interesting and uses a blended way of teaching.
Awesome Professor! I took an online class and it was so easy. The work is given to you, and he gives you more than enough time to get the assignments done. Extra Credit is also offered. No tests/quizzes. He is fast with grading papers and responding to any of your questions. I would definitely recommend taking his class!
I took Professor Dalina for a 4 week online summer course. It was an easy four weeks, gave us weekly message board assignments plus watching a movie and reflecting on it. Offered extra credit twice during the 4 weeks, and graded papers really quickly.
hes the best professor ever. if you show up and do all your work you will pass his class with an A+. hes very nice and very helpful. and also very funny. you will never ever get bored from his class. everyone should take his class.
I had him for a winter class. He's so nice and really does a great job presenting all the material in such a short amount of time. Take him!
If you need a history credit please take the online course with Mr. Dalina. His rate my professor rating is pretty accurate except it should be a 5.0. His instructions are very clear. He offers tons of extra credit if you need it. There is no guess work with this professor you know exactly what you have to do to achieve an A. You will also learn!
Fantastic Professor. Took him for a winter online course. Learned a lot in the 2.5 weeks. If you do all the work on time you'll have no problem getting an A.
Professor Dalina was by far the best professor I ever had for an online class at MCC. I took his 2.5 week US History I course. No textbook is required as he assigns articles to read and videos to watch;saving us money. He is a fair grader with clear guidelines for assignments and provides several extra credit opportunities. Definitely recommended!
He's honestly the best professor I've ever had! He's young so he understands any problems you may go through! he is the best teacher figure I've ever had, if he has seats open in his class i would register before anyone else snags that seat!!
Amazing professor! Seriously the single best online professor I've ever had. He care's about the class and gives bi-weekly reminders about assignments that are due. There's never a paper, and the most you'll ever have to do I write a 500 word response to articles that are related to the subject you're learning that week. Oh & no textbook! The best!
Awesome professor ! He really cares about the students and makes sure we understand and are learning. He makes sure that if we need help students can contact him. Loved his online class I would HIGHLY reccomend him. You really learn from doing the weekly assignments.
very good class, really inspired an interest in history (which I've never had before), fair grader
Professor Dalina has been one of my favorite professors at Middlesex County College. He maintains good contact with his students and is attentive to emails. This professor has a clear grading criteria in which you have to do some minor reading and then answer accordingly to the message board post questions. I have learned a lot in his class.
Great Professor! Learned so much in this class.
Professor Dalina is great! Always willing to help, and available to respond to any questions you have regarding the assignments. You are required to particapate in board posts that count towards your grade, it was an online class so that was the way to engage into conversation with others. There was no test, just assignments. Recommend him 100%!
Dr. Dalina was an outstanding Professor. I especially enjoyed the rapid feedback he provided for the message board topics. The class gave me some further insight into our local, state and federal government. He also reached out if anyone needes assistance and provided extra credit opportunities.
I took Prof. Dalina for my Online History 121 Winter 2018 class. Great professor. He gives clear grading criteria and the assignments are all online and the bulk of the class is just reading and writing on the boards. He gives good feedback on your responses as well as the analysis papers that you do. Only one 3-5 page paper. Would taker again!
He is one of the best professor at MCC, always willing to help students , you will learn alot in his online class or campus class.
Online History Class for the short winter session. We crammed so much work into a short time but I felt like I learned more than a full semester. Great topics. He reads every assignment and makes sure you follow the instructions. No tests, homework is essays and responses to classmates. A if you do the work. Great professor, very involved.
Great guy, no complaints
Great class, professor was very good. Got back to you right away, and was clear on grading. Brandon S.
Very fair. Online course was simple to follow. Lots of readings but learned a lot.
I cannot recommend this professor enough ! He made the class enjoyable, and easy to follow. He is understanding and made us all involved in every class. He is also really funny. Made us laugh too. Assignments were normal, tests and quizzes were normal. Take him ! If I could I would take him again !
I highly recommend professor Dalina! All class assignments are easy to understand, and straight forward. I never questioned what I was supposed to do. Due dates are the same weekly and easy to remember. If you do all assignments, put in the effort, and meet the word counts you will receive a good grade.
Dr. Dalina is always there to help his students. He gives a breakdown of what is expected step by step. He is always available to answer any questions you may have. He gives enough work but not an overwhelming amount. I would in fact take another course he teaches if I can.
I don't have final grade yet, but currently have a 95. Super easy class! As long as you do the work, you'll pass. The book is definitely required. It seems like a lot of work, but then you get used to it. Also the amount of time you have to do assignments is more than enough time. Loved this class!!
He is a great professor would definitely recommend him. Makes you work a lot though if you do your work, he is not a tough grader. Lots of reading and writing though he gives good feedback and is easily available via email.
Took this class online, instructions for all the assignments are very clear. He grades and responds fast. There is also no tests or quizzes and he offers extra credit. Very easy class. Would definitely recommend taking this class with him.
he was a really good professor and i would definitely take his online class again. The only thing is he gives a lot of homework but if you do them and hand it in you will pass!!!!
Professor Dalina is such a great man. He's very responsive with emails and clear about his grading scale. Discussions are the main part of the course which is a good thing too, make sure to do them! Also a lot of reading and papers. All of it doable. 1 week to do 4-5 assignments. If you don't do well that's a you problem.
Dr. Dalina was by far the best professor I've had so far. His grading is very good, he gives extra credit, and allows you to turn in old assignments you missed. The criteria was super easy to follow and gives you a lot of time to complete assignments. Responds fast too. Great class!
Great class, and great professor. His grading is good, and the criteria is very clear and easy to follow. Gives you a lot of time to complete assignments as well. Would take his class again.
I took Dr. Dalina for U.S State and Local Gov(summer online class). His online class is pretty easy and straightforward. As long as you do all your work on time you can get easy A!
Easy grader amazing feedback overall great professor would take again!
I had professor Dalina for contemporary health online for the summer semester. From reading his bio I could already tell he was a down to Earth person and truly wants the best from his students- I was right. Extremely clear on assignments. A few essays that are actually a pleasure to write, a few online quizzes, discussions. 10/10!
Professor Dalina was awesome. I had him for an online health class. Not only was he reasonable with the amount of work, if you had an issue he was easy to get in contact with. If you have the chance to take his class, I would recommend it. 10/10
Professor Dalina is a 10/10. I would highly recommend. He does give a lot of work but as long as you do them you will pass. Most of his assignments are self-reflecting and experience-based. You will learn about yourself while taking one of his classes. Best experience and teacher I have had at Middlesex.
Assigns a lot of homework but nothing too difficult.
I took this class online as a fast pace class but it was very easy and the homework is straight forward. If you have any questions Professor Dalina will get back to you fast.
Professor Dalina is one of the best teachers I had. I would definitely take him again if I have the chance. If you don't understand something, you can ask him. He always gets back to me.
Great Professor! Definitely one of my favorite at MCC. Gives clear assignments, answers emails promptly, understanding, cares about your grades, and wants you to do well. Although this is online, you can tell that he cares about his students and their education. Would love to have this professor again.
I found this class to be very interesting. We had a lot of disuccions and had to do a lot of research papers. Professor Dalina is an easy grader and keeps things intresting. He let you redo any assignment that you might have missed as well as gives you extra credit opportunities. I would definitely take another class instructed by him.
Professor Dalina was great! Although it was an online class, I feel like I've learned so much in such a small amount of time. The work can be a bit stressful but you defiantly learn from it especially with all the information provided. I can defiantly recommend it and would take it again myself.
Gives work, but it's very simple, just read the directions and follow the book, you'll easily pass, I was struggling and dealing with personal issues and he was very straightforward and helped me out a lot so that I can catch up. I learned a lot and is very interesting. A very good Professor, I would take him again. 10/10
After taking this class, I enjoyed Professor Dalina's class a lot. Even though I did not get the chance to meet him personally due to covid, I could tell he is a great professor. The assignments he assigned helped me learn a lot of new things. He really wants the student to do well in this class, and the assignments were not too hard either.
Professor Dalina was extremely accommodating during these harsh times which shows that he really cares for his students. All of his assignments had clear guidelines and he provides many useful links to help you complete them.
It was a pleasure to have Professor Dalina as my U.S State and Government professor. The assignments made were set up with simple guidelines and were easy to follow. He was real accomodating to the pandemic and even allowed extra credit to those who needed it.
I really enjoyed my class for Dr. Dalina. It was really informative and he always was on top of everything making sure that if we had any issues or any questions he was always there to help. Im looking forward to taking another class with Dr. Dalina in my next semester.
Weekly online discussions, article summaries, one paper and no exams. It was an interesting class.
Took over winter session so work was rushed but everything was laid out clearly on what was required to be done and when it was due. I like that everything was explained thoroughly leaving no room to question.
I thoroughly enjoyed this class. We discussed Current Events, Local Legislature & Government; Encouraged learning about the inner working of the Government & about how it personally affects you in society. He presented relevant, interesting, topics of today that enabled education based on personal views formulated through reading & discussion
For clarification purposes I only gave a 4 rating for difficulty because it was a winter course and very fast paced. You have to be willing to put in the work, there is no way around it. If you do this, you will guarantee pass. Dr. Dalina is great and among the best by far at MCC. Extremely knowledgable and you will learn plenty about the subject!
Great schedule. Treated like an adult. Given assignments with realistic submission date and help and feedback available if needed.
Dr. Dalina is clear in what he is looking for. If you need any feedback he is there to respond. You work for your grade. If I have the chance to enroll in one of his classes in the future I will. On top of that Dr. Dalina is a councilman so if you're looking to learn Local and State Government, he is the right one.
So easy! Just do your work
Professor Dalina overall
You have about three assignments a week(2 discussion you have to respond to classmates, current issue, and 1 big paper) The work isn't hard its just time consuming.
Great Professor
Professor Dalina was always very respectful and reachable via email. Every assignment was graded promptly and fairly with feedback. Reading is not optional for this class and participation is key.
Always encourages students to reach out if they need anything. Provides enough material to understand the subject matter clearly. Gives a lot of homework, but his grading criteria is clear and easy to follow in order to receive good marks.
I had Professor Dalina for POS-201-IN2 and I really enjoyed his class. You will be doing a lot of reading, but the work is simple and easy to understand and complete. I definitely recommend taking this class. He is very responsive and a reasonable grader. He provides you with many resources to complete the assignments!
I appreciate Professor Dalina very much for having a comprehensive online course for me to follow. His modules and announcements were organized in a way that helped me find information more easily and clear enough to accomplish what was expected to be done in the assignments given. I would strongly recommend to anyone to take his online course.
Professor Dalina is a very great professor who went out of their way to make the online semester of Spring 2021 as manageable as possible and was very forgiving with his assignments. It was a very difficult semester for me personally and professor Dalina told me that I could submit assignments before the end of the semester for credit. Wonderful!
Very good professor, understanding and replies fast to any questions asked pertaining to the online course.
I think Mr. Dalina is a great teacher and i look forward to the chance of being in another one of his classes.
Professor Dalina is a great professor , if you get the chance to take him definitely do so! I enjoyed my history class so much with him. He makes everything so clear to understand !
I think this class was very good and I would have Professor Dalina again
Although there is a decent amount of assignments, theyre all easy assignments regarding topics that everyone should learn about. State and local government with Dr. Dalina is a phenomenally insightful course that delves deep into all levels of the government. Well worth the few extra assignments.
I took Dalina during Spring 2021 for State/Local Government. Dalina was a great professor! Dalina gave a lot of work, so be ready! You learn many things in his class and the textbook for this course is really helpful. Take the weekly assignments seriously you will pass! Discussions at least 350 words/replies at least 100 words!
I took Dr. Dalinas class during Summer 1: 2021 for State/Local Government. Dalina was a great professor! There is a good amount of reading and assignments for this class. However, if you take the weekly assignments seriously you will pass! Discussions at least 350 words/replies at least 100 words! In addition, Dr. Dalina was always available.
Really loved the professor! Just get your work done on time and you will do great in his class.
Honestly, just do your work, hand it on time and youll receive credit. His email is always open so any questions or concerns he will respond to you back with feedback! Best class I had taken even it was a fast pace for summer!
This class flowed well for a short summer class. He got back very promptly and was very fair.
He was very clear with his directions from the start and graded quickly.
It was my first time taking a Political Science class at Middlesex, and I am glad I took Professor Dalina, as he was able to teach the topics nicely. Coming from a nonpolitical major I was able to understand each topic and overall the class was very interesting and informative. The class consists of discussions and written papers. Amazing Prof
i took him over the summer and had a wonderful time. he was very clear with what he is looking for in your assignments. as long as you do the assignments you should pass the class with flying colors. overall, i would really recommend taking this course to fill a requirement. i can guarantee that you will enjoy his course!
Professor Dalina is a solid choice and lays out the course information in a very clear way making the class flow smoothly. Summer classes are always quick yet I felt no pressure in his class because of the clarity. I definitely recommend taking him, especially if you are interested in history and politics. Will be looking forward to another class.
Professor Dalina provides very clear instructions and gives very insightful assignments. The work in the course is diverse whether it be discussion posts, current events, or writing assignments. Professor Dalina's directions are clear and cohesive. I would highly recommend any course taught by this professor. Very engaging, caring, and exciting.
Professor Dalina is very understanding and cares about his students. It is very easy to pass his class, just get the work done in time. He always responds when you need him. His assignments are very easy, you will learn a lot of good information.
Professor Dalina's class is very laid out and specific, and the assignments are easy with more than enough time to finish. The instructions are clear, and if you ever are confused about something and have any questions, Prof. Dalina is very reachable and gets back within an appropriate amount of time. I would highly recommend to take his class.
I took Dalina for the fall 2021 semester for US State and Local Government. Super chill and the work is easy just takes a bit to do. Hes super helpful if you need help. Gives you the opportunity to make up work and gives options for extra credit. Do all of the work, youll pass with an A. Definitely take his class.
I give this professor 10000/10. He is nothing but understanding, gives you endless opportunities for bump up your final grade. Gives you the Time of day he answers his emails and if you need an extension because your either working or something came up with he has not problem giving it to you. Definitely recommend to those who have busy lives.
Professor Dalina was an amazing Professor. While his work may seem intimidating, it it honestly fairly easy (in a good way). Don't ever worry about feeling overwhelmed, he is really understanding and is willing to work with you!
Professor Dalina is an awesome professor! Doesn't have much homework at all, and the homework is really easy, on top of the discussions being engaging! Homework assignments are incredibly easy, and not too overbearing, alongside the professor being incredibly easy to reach when you have questions. Highly recommend!
Professor Dalina is really one of the best Professors at MC. He really takes the time to ensure his students understand the material and provided really good course work. Even though this course was online I really did learn a lot and wish I could have been in person.
Professor Dalina was absolutely one of my favorite Professors here at MCC so far. I believe that the class he ran was clear in what it was looking for and the assignments were always reasonable. I never had to worry about contacting Professor Dalina, and felt that if i needed to he would be there. Overall a very pleasant experience in his class!
Gives more than enough time to complete assignments. Understands unexpected things come up in life.
Dr. Kevin Dalina is a great choice for your professor. He has a very clear syllabus, and if you are genuinely interested in the topic you are trying to learn you will certainly come out learning something. Very informative and responsive.
Dalina's asynchronous classes are very easy to follow as long as you know how to navigate Canvas and ALWAYS look at his announcements. The discussion boards seem like a pain but I ended up becoming friends w/ people in my class. Overall, if you're taking this as an elective don't expect to just hand in two words and get applause. Put in the work.
I took the online POS-201 with this professor. It is an online class, so students have to stay on top of different due dates and assignments. However, it is definitely possible to do well if one reads/ reviews the materials that the professor is asking students to read and review. His directions are clear. I would recommend this professor.
Dr. Dalina provided clear guidelines for all assignments. The reading selections required were very interesting and enjoyable to read. his feedback allowed you to know what you did correct or what needed improvement.
There were not any tests, and the class was mostly focused around writing discussion posts and writing assignments. Most information you learn will come from the textbook. I really liked the format of this class, as everything was very straightforward. I would recommend it to anyone interested in taking it.
Overall, great Professor and would definitely take his class again
I took his virtual class during the Winter Semester. The Professor provides the textbook for you free of charge gives you around 4 to 5 assignments on a weekly basis and makes them due Sunday so that you have plenty of time to do them. Just make sure to read over the assignments clearly and take your time with them and you will be just fine.
He's a really nice professor. His class is not very hard, it's actually very well balanced. There is work to do in the class, like papers and readings, but that is not that hard, and the grading criteria is pretty clear and lenient as well.
Dr. Dalina is a very laid back professor. If there is ever a problem with an assignment he will go out of his way to help you. Do all your assignments + focus on your discussions and you will pass this class. He is very clear in what he expects from each student and is mindful of the pandemic. He is very easy to reach and there for his students.
Dr. Dalina was a great teacher who provided a well laid out syllabus and set clear expectations to be successful in his class. He provided ample material and was always responded to emails in a timely manner! Highly suggest his class to lean more about local government.
Through the discussion posts, weekly assignments (500 word paper with citation), I believe professor Dalina forced us to find a way to comprehend that weeks lesson. He was extremely clear on the weekly announcements and how we would be graded. I really enjoyed his teaching style and how to the point this course was! Thank you
Professor Dalina is a great teacher and engages well with his students. Personally this class was very hard for me as there were a lot of essays.
I took Dr.Dalina's online U.S. State and Local Government class. For me this class difficult because he does give you a lot of mini papers and discussion posts. I can see why he does this because it really helps you understand the material for this class. He gives you till the end of the week to submit the work just make sure to do it on time.
Professor Dalina is a very easy grader and is very understanding. I did an assignment, not to his liking and he gave me a second chance to redo it and graded it in full credit. This class made my semester a lot easier. I recommend taking this class if you do have the chance.
Great professor. Very understanding and helpful.
His work is very doable and his guidelines are easy to understand. He gives weekly updates and is lenient on grading.
Good professor who really makes sure his students learn and grades fairly
His work is really doable, and his instructions are simple to follow. He also sends out weekly reports. Professor Dalina is an excellent instructor who engages his students effectively. Students must write a lot in this class.
I really enjoyed his class and I was able to learn a lot about the state government. I did not have any zoom meetings it was all remote, he provides you with all the resources you need and when you need help he is very quick with replies via email. The Essay workload can be kinda intimidating if this is your first semester in college.
Dr. Dalina is a great professor. The course was 100% online, and each week there were assignments to be completed. The workload wasn't overloaded, but also wasn't something to dismiss. Grading was fair, and if you do the work you should do well! The class was interesting and I would take another one of his classes again.
Professor Dalina responds to questions quickly and helps explain to you what the answer to your question is. Also, he gives really good resources for whatever you are working on and the class in general.
Took Dr. Dalina for a 7 week summer class and the course load was very straight forward, weekly discussions/ short assignments with a current event review of your choice. Information for the assignments can easily be found in textbook but if needed he provides links to articles with all relevant information. Impossible to fail unless you don't try.
I took Professor Dalina for a 7-week Summer course. Participation in discussion posts are so important in this class, as well as current event issues. He's very understanding for students who struggle and he always tries to find a way to help. Definitely take him, he's a great professor. If you're struggling, just reach out to him. He's very nice.
I would recommend other students to take this Professor because the assignment he provided was understanding and helpful for the future study. He has provided websites from where we can find answers about the assignments. He is an excellent Professor.
Dr Dalina is a very good teacher. This was an online course he was very connected to the students and questions they had. I would recommend Dr Dalina
I took Professor Dalina for a 7-week course; he is a good person and quickly answers emails. He continuously checks that students are on track and are doing well in the course. The workload is not that much; it does take time, though he gives you till Sunday at 11:59 pm to submit all the assignments. I would take him again.
I took Professor Dalian for an online course in US state and local government. The course was very easy. You did have to read some of the textbook, which is provided, to complete the weekly discussion posts. We also had current event assignments and the final was a paper. He also gets back quickly and is always there for help. I recommend him.
Professor Dalina is one of the best professors I have had. He thought me information that I never knew about.
This class is a lot of reading and writing so be prepared for that despite this, the professor makes the material very accessible as well as being very clear on grading with opportunities for extra credit, and is flexible with turning in late work, over all a great professor and would take again.
If you truly want to learn more about your state and local government, it is vital to take this course. Professor Dalina is very knowledgeable about the topics he teaches and will give you the assignments to learn such things. Empathetic and caring professor! Get ready to write and learn! :)
As this class was taken online this semester, there were set dates for assignments. They rarely broke the rotation of due dates, making submissions easy to remember and manage. Is understandable and gives opportunities for make-up work and extra credit. It becomes difficult when you fall behind as the course is subject heavy. Time management is key
Dr. Dalina is a great professor and provided very simple assignments that made you learn a lot, he was very patient when I made mistakes and provided helppful feedback on your assignments.
Professor Dalina was great I enjoyed every bit of his class. The assignments were well explained and easy to understand he was also always available to explain anything that I was unsure about. I would definitely recommend His class to anyone who is interested in taking the course.
Professor Dalina was amazing he explained everything in great detail for each of the assignments that were given. If there were any misunderstandings he would not hesitate to respond if you needed further clarification I would recommend him for anyone who is interested in taking this course
Professor is very understanding if something comes up and you need extra time. He also is a very easy grader if you meet all the criteria he directly asks for. As long as you complete the few assignments a week which in my case was 2 you will do great in his class and receive a possible A.
Make sure to ask questions about the syllabus sooner than later.
Overall Professor Dalina is great. Accessible outside of class, answers emails quickly, opportunities for extra credit and lenient with grading but not at the expense of your learning. No tests and the final was a paper. I didn't have him in person but he seems pretty passionate about what he teaches which makes the class enjoyable.
Took an online class with Doctor Dalina this semester about U.S. State and Local Government. There are a few assignments due at the end of each week but they were very straight forward. When you need to get in touch with Doctor Dalina he will always be there and get back to you quickly. It is definitely a pleasure to be apart of the class.
Online class and textbook was free online. Lots of great links and resources are given for each assignment. Really nice guy, I just wish I took it in person.
Professor Dalina, was super understanding when I needed extra time for an assignment or anything !! Amazing feedback on work that actually helped me for future assignments
Professor Dalina's class on State and Local Government was an online course that gave students access to a free textbook. He provided the class with lots of great links for each assignment to help us get a better understanding of the material. Overall, a great professor and I would recommend taking his class.
Professor Dalina was great! He accepts late work up till the last day of class and his grading structure is super clear. There is 2-3 discussion boards per week plus 1-2 political reviews/current events and one final paper. If you follow the requirements like word count that he makes clear, you'll get 100s on pretty much everything & extra credit.
Prof. Dalina is very polite professor. He accept your late work until end of the semester. He always keep discussions open until end of the semester, and every week he post 2-3 discussion posts and 1-2 political science paper. If you do your work accurately then you get 100 marks in every assignments. He is very understanding professor I ever take.
One the best professors I have had so far. I would take his class again if I could. Everybody should go take him, he is the best.
overall amazing professor. there is a whole lot of writing but he is very understanding and allows late submissions. Responds back pretty fast and the class material itself is not too hard to understand. definetly would take another class with him. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Prof Dalina is very understanding of everyone's circumstances. He is attentive and will answer questions promptly. I remember the final assignment saying I couldn't use a source before 2017, but he allowed me to as it related to my topic. Unambiguous grading criteria, easy A, gives extra credit. Highly recommend taking him.
Professor Kevin Dalina is Amazing. He gives truly interesting lectures and is very caring. He will go above and beyond as well ad understand his students and give the help with anything you may need. Overall, Great class is very organized with work and assignments. Please take his class you won't regret it!
I would recommend taking him if you have to complete this course because he is very understanding with late work and the is very easy. I do recommend making sure you have reference pages because I got points taken off for not having a reference page. He does offer 6 points extra credit at the end of the semester, so make sure you do it!!
Professor Dalina is very understanding. The work takes some time to finish but he provides feedback. He is accessible only by email and you must be timely with those, which is understandable. Overall I would highly recommend this class to anyone interested in the course.
The way he designed the course materials was very organized and he made the class very easy. Although there was a lot of assignments, you can makeup the work whenever you want and still receive a good grade for the assignment. He made the class very easy and I would take him again.

I would take another course taught by Professor Dalina. He accepts late work at any time and will offer extra credit before the end of the semester. He is also very helpful when you have any questions regarding the assignments. This course was great and I would recommend others to take any course taught by Professor Dalina.
Prof Dalina was amazing. Easy to reach outside of class. I would take him again!
Nelson from State and Local Government POS-201. Dalina Let you turn in all assignments late would not take off points. Gives you the chance to make up work until the end of the semester. Easy A if you put the work in not a very hard class to pass. Dalina would always answer back to emails.
His work was easy, just a lot of papers and discussion boards that were hefty in length. Assignments and textbooks were easy to understand. However, there were several instances of plagiarism occurring in his class, which nothing was ever done about it. He grades fairly as long as you do what he asks.
Professor Dalina is a very good professor. for having a 5 week course i thought it was gonna be a nightmare but honestly wasnt that bad. he takes latework until the end of the semester and his hw is really easy just papers. if you actually put time you will get rewarded TRUST.
Easy online class with only a few assignments a week, typically short papers.
Very easy class and the professor was very easy to reach outside of class. He accepts late work and gives extra credit at the end of the semester. Does give 3 assignments per week that are semi time consuming. Don't procrastinate and do the work and you will get an A+. Very interesting class as well. I learned a lot about my local government.
It was a fairly easy class, even if it was repetitive and bland. It doesn't matter what you write, so long as you meet the minimum requirements for the assignments, you will get a 100.
Workload was never not manageable. If needed at the end of semester late work can be handed in.
Professor Dalina was very good and I highly recommend you take his online class. He gave the class extra time to complete work and extra credit as well. He posts 3 assignments that are due by Sunday but they are not crazy ones they are pretty complex but easy, especially when he gives a week to finish them. I would totally take his class again.
Great class and Prof. Only change would be an earlier deadline for discussions so busier people wouldn't have to sit and wait and plan weekends around classmates. Learned a ton of CURRENT knowledge and the textbook being updated to current times was great and I enjoyed all of it. I would absolutely take another class offered by Dr. Dalina!
The professor is very helpful with making accommodations and helping outside of school hours
I had Professor Dalina for an online course and do not have any complaints regarding him or the class. He always provided detailed instructions for each assignment. The only comment I would make is on the strict word count on assignments, which sometimes makes it feel as though I am repeating myself just to reach the minimum. I recommend the class.
Dr. Dalina was excellent and provided very knowledgeable information regarding the subject.
Great class, be on top of you assignments so it gets easier, the professor understands its student and lets you do some late work. Lectures are not hard to understand, you just have to do some research and you will pass the class easy.
The class requires a good amount of time but the assignments aren't very difficult. Dalina is a relaxed grader you just need to follow word counts. He also accepts late assignments though he takes a while to grade them.
Prof Dalina's class is manageable. Lots of written assignments but fair grading. Definitely use Unstuck study alongside the textbook to stay on top of things.
lots of writing criteria, otherwise not bad
The professor made this course practical for anyone whether that's a freshman, transfer student, or someone returning after years to complete their education. The workload is reasonable, the grading criteria is clear, concise, fair. It's also evident the professor cares to help you SUCCEED as he followed up on any questions! Highly recommend.
easy class but HW can sneak up on you.
Professor Dalina is a great professor! He explains everything clearly and makes the course easy to understand. His lectures are organized, engaging, and never confusing. Best of all, he's understanding and accepts late work, which really helps students stay on track. Highly recommend!
I took him online for HIS121, the class is easy if you stay on top of it!

This class was easy to follow based on the modules. He grades assignments using Turnitin, which was unfortunate because not everything is AI. He also grades slowly. Other than that, the assignments were straightforward and on topic. Many extra credit opportunities, too. Do them!
Dr. Kevin Dalina is an outstanding instructor from whom I have learned a lot. He is fair, and attending his class was a pleasure.
I took his course online, and the process was simple and stress free. Plus, he lets you make up assignments if you happen to miss any!
This was an online course, and I must say it was easy to follow. Lots of paper assignments and interactive discussions. He also responds quickly. Sometimes a little slow with grading though.
Straightforward class if you do your work!!! A bit of reading, but not bad.
This professor is very easy to follow through with as long as you follow his clear guidelines. He is very consistent on pacing out work, he does not catch you off guard. He responds to his emails fast if needed. This was an online course for me, and I very much enjoyed it. I appreciate his commitment to our success.
All of the assignments and discussion posts are written so it can feel like a lot of writing. However, you get a whole week to due the assignments and late work is accepted
Dr. Dalina was a great Professor this semester he is helpful and great with communication, he wants everybody to pass his class I highly recommend him for those who are just starting off with political science.
Good class would take again
You have to do a lot of reading and writing, but it's manageable as long as you manage your time well, and the assignments are very straightforward.
Took this professor online and is really chill with the assignments. Should be on the easy Side of courses and would take again.
I procrastinated very bad this semester. I turned in about 90% of the courses work in the final week of class, and the professor graded it all without an issue and I ended the course with a B+, potentially an A after the final goes in. It's pretty much weekly writing assignments which isn't easy, but he's very lenient. Genuinely a savior.
If you do the work each week, no problem earning an A
I procrastinated a lot in this class, and submitted a decent amount of work in the end. Ultimately, the class is not hard, and no reason to get an A as long as you keep up with your work. He communicates very well and gives you ample amount of time to get every assignment done.
If you do the work you will get an A+. Fast response time, good professor for what he teaches.
Kind professor, online course was very organized and well thought out. Expectations were very clear every week. He is generous and understanding as long as you do the work. There is around 900 words of writing every week in papers and online discussions.
This professor is very encouraging and understanding. The focus of the class was geared towards understanding the material above all else, and I greatly appreciate that.
