Comment:
GREAT PROFESSOR!! He is very clear with what he wants and is very accessible outside of class- he also very much cares about you not only as a student in his class but about how you're doing as a person. He is a good devil's advocate and really makes you think. Great professor. I'd take his class again in a heartbeat.

Comment:
I know hate is a strong word, but it is the only one I can possibly think of to describe O'Donnell, who calls himself "proDonnell." Blatantly liberal and a fan of revisionist history, his class is filled with his inane opinions. Please avoid this professor at all costs, as he is harsh on students with any sort of viewpoint other than his own.

Comment:
I'm not exaggerating when I say this, Prof. O'Donnell literally taught me how to write at the college level. I could not have asked for a better introductory history class. His lectures are extremely interesting and usually discussion based, as well as very informative. You will always leave his class feeling like you have become a better citizen.

Great professor! No test but lots of papers. But if you do the reading the paper will be very easy to write. Defiantly want to take his class again in the future.

Prof. O'Donnell was a great professor. He is a rough grader especially when it comes to papers. His office hours are extremely helpful as they are required as well. He is very bright and open with his students. I definitely recommend if you're looking to learn a lot from a smart professor

Demands a lot from his students. Long reading assignments and expects you to be able to discuss during class. Couple of toughlong reading assignments. However, he is a really great professor to know here and even though they're tough I would definitely recommend taking one of his class.

Definitely have to attend class. Books are crucial to read or at least thoroughly skim as essays are based off them 100%. If you can set aside an hour to read a night this class can be relatively easy. He is always down for office hours. One of my better classes at HC.

Really interesting and engaging professor. Really lets everyone be heard in his class. Very easy to distract and he often goes off on unrelated tangents. Class and readings were easy although he wasn't always organized.

Assigns a fair amount of reading. Calls on people randomly, so it's important that all readings are completed for class. Really interesting lectures. All around great guy. Helpful in office hours. Definitely take a class with him if you have the opportunity.

He assigns a lot of reading, and is a pretty tough but fair grader. also a red sox fan:) he calls on you randomly and expects everyone to be well prepared on the readings, even if they were posted late the night before.. a nice guy and good teacher though, just a little unprepared.

Great class, lot of reading, though. Not too tough of a grader, especially if you go talk to him about papers and such. Flexible with deadlines too.

Comment:
He talks a big game about making you a better writer, but he is very vague in his grading. After the first paper he graded i used his advise and then he said that it was all wrong. When i pointed out to him that this is what he told me he was at a loss for words. He's a tool Dont waste your time

There is a lot of reading but he is such an amazing professor...If you are not one to keep up with reading you may want to find a teacher that doesn't call on people randomly in class....he loves to call on everyone and put them on the spot...

Assigns excessive reading (which you MUST do because he calls on people randlomly in class). Hard grader on papers, but you will be a better writer at the end of the semester. Good and interesting lectures - worth taking, but lots of work.
