Comment:

Donnelly is very smart and brings up very good topics during class but she is a horrible teacher. Nothing ever gets graded so its almost impossible to figure what grade your going to get. It seems like at the end of the semester she just throws a grade out based off of how much she liked or disliked you.

Comment:

She is very good at what she does. Very comfortable classes but there are times where you are pushed to your limits which are worth it in the end. She is tough at her grading but explains what she did and why she is marking you off on certain areas. Definitely worth taking if you want to get the most out of an English class.

The sweetest woman I've ever met. I was one of the only non-english majors in my class and I loved it. Learning about literature was very enjoyable.

Class ends late very often. Grades are handed back a while after the assignment was turned in. No idea what i had in the class until i see the final grade. Enjoys her job. Attempts to get students interested.

Mary is a wonderful professor and human being. When a professor goes beyond the call of duty students become very successful and enjoy learning. Her lectures are informative and amusing.

Comment:

Donnelly is very intelligent and knows what she's talking about. She has zero tolerance for idiots, to put it nicely. Put in the work and you'll get an A. There were no tests we had papers instead but they were interesting. She also likes to talk about current events so be prepared to discuss. She does not like when people don't participate!

Comment:

She is a very intelligent woman. If you do her discussion questions, go to class and participate, you will pretty much know what you need to write your paper about. Dress up for your presentation and she will love it. Attendance is important, she is often tardy, or doesn't show though (her husband fills in sometimes). No 1984 style teaching here.

I must put this out here, Donnelly is a SMART professor. Although I didn't get the grade I wanted she was a great professor. Takes a while to get papers graded but she makes you try a and by the time your done with the course you will have def learned something new.

I had Prof. Donnelly two years ago, and she was a very intesresting lecturer. However, waiting to get feedback on your papers will require patience. You may not get feedback about this month's papers until May.

Come to class, prepare to listen to what she has to say for the whole time and you'll be set to go. Papers are realy easy if you are on time. Only complaint is that she is a little inconsistant when it comes to being on time for a private meeting between yourself and her.

Comment:

Meeting person-to-person is a great way to improve your papers and understand why you got the grade you did. If you don't do well in this class it is really only due to lack of effort. Professor D is witty and fun, she always has interesting things to discuss. Very friendly classroom environment.

Comment:

She def knows wut shes talking about. This is more of a reactiton/research class. She loves talking politics and pretty much just sits and chats with the class discussing topics. I def recommend. We didnt use a text book. Shes ver friendly, just dont cross her of let her catch you texting! haha

Prof. Donnelly is a very interesting lecturer, but she is ultra-slow in returning our papers. It is almost May, and I have yet to get a paper back from before Valentine's Day! I have no idea how I'm doing in her class.

As everyone else is saying she does take a long time to grade papers, but she also uses it to your advantage. She gave the option whether or not to write the final drafts. I did very well in her class I attended most of them.She made the class lectures very interesting, not like the other english I had to take. Great class and teacher overall!

Comment:

Extremely unorganized. She's a nice lady and very intelligent but she takes forever to return papers. She wanted us to revise a short draft and gave us a deadline but we didn't get our original paper back until 2 days before the revisions were due. She knows what she's talking about but I would not take a her class ever again.

Comment:

She is a great teacher, but as others have commented her organization skills are lacking. Don't expect to have your papers graded on time but be prepared for a fun class. Debates are constantly sparked, I had her for College Writing II and Brit Lit. Definitely a great teacher.
