Easy 4.0. Stick to the syllabus and outlines in the book when writing your essayspeeches. So so so easy. Donahue is a pretty cool guy. Would recommend. HAVE to get the text book, the dude wrote it, and you rip out pages after every lecture.

Donohue is a great professor, he was able to keep my interested in what he was saying, and connects with the students with jokes and stories. A little more work than I was expecting but nothing was hard.

Comment:

I actually enjoyed this class mostly because of Donohue's life stories and infectious laugh. Book was for the class was written by Donohue and you definitely need it because you rip out the pages and turn them in at the end of lecture. Very easy class and the TAs sometimes post the power points from lecture on Angel. About 5 essays but not too bad.

Comment:

Donohue is very smart, smart enough to write the textbook for class, make it required to buy for every student, and than divvy up all the workload to his TA's. I received a 3.0 in this class because I was marked down by my TA for not stapling my assignments together... It is unbelievable how hard they try and make this easy class I DO NOT recommend

Professor Donahue is hilarious and very interactive, even in a lecture of 500. The material is simple, pay attention and the exams are a breeze.

Comment:

He's a nice guy and teaches a decent and enjoyable lecture but tries way too hard to over-complicate the course so that it's "NOT a blow-off" (or so it says directly in the syllabus). The mid-term and final are ridiculously difficult for the actual material and not very well written. Glad I'm not a COM major

Dr. Donohue is awesome. I loved this class, and I learned soo much. Everybody should take this class no matter what their major. The lectures are very engaging, and Donohue uses examples that are easy to understand and apply. The exams aren't as hard as everybody says if you read the book and study a little.
