Overall, Danny is a pretty bad professor. He taught Cryptography, which is a super interesting topic, but he made it dry. His lectures are very unclear and he has trouble explaining even simple topics. His handwriting is borderline illegible, he mumbles, and does no lecture prep. However, tests are straight forward. Would not recommend.
