Comment:

The hardest thing about this class was doing the reading; that "difficulty" was because the reading was long, not hard. Professor was helpful, always replied to emails/questions when she found time. If you know how to write and cite in MLA, you shouldn't have an issue with the final paper. As expected: class is easier for native English speakers.

Comment:

Kelly was a fantastic teacher- clear expectations, due dates, and I thought interesting material. Took her for Comp I and liked it so much I registered for her Comp II class. Got A's in both- you just have to actually do the readings and assignments and you'll be fine. Highly recommend.

Thought this teacher was going to be helpful but turns out she isn't. Came to her for help but got answers that didn't meet my ends. I worked hard to get from a bad grade to a good grade with my own studying and writing. If you actually want to learn and feel like you matter; don't take her class.

Three words... FAST PACED CLASS. Registered for K. Donahue's online ENGL1022 class. With the class only running for a period of two months, I did not expect for her class to be so fast paced. So if you work full time and have family to take care of, or simply do not have the time. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS

Comment:

At first I really hated her class and was instantly annoyed with it due to being an online class. Towards the end though, I really liked her and her class. She does have you do A LOT of papers and homework twice a week and it can be a tad bit overwhelming, but this is college and it's going to be fairly challenging. She is willing to help!

Comment:

I took this course online and it was the worst english/comp class I've ever taken. She expects a lot but gives very little in regards to feedback and overall expectations of assignments. Way too many writing assignments and grading isn't consistent. I met with her in person and she was very condescending when I was asking for help. AVOID.

Comment:

Short Novel Reading class Century. The first two I got a C and a D on. I used her rubric and feedback for both. Met with her over the phone, ask for specific examples she wouldn't give me. It's currently two days before a due date and I still don't have feedback from the 3rd essay. Handed in 27 days ago. She does drop the lowest 2 of the 5 essays

Be prepared for excessive work every week, I recommend whoever takes this course to attend class as much as possible. She is very strict with her attendance policy. Be prepared to write a ton of papers, try getting your required English courses from other professors.

Comment:

I was going to write her a bad review from how the class started, but she showed that she care for students to pass. She's great with responding back online and she'll email you personally if she sees that you are having problems. She doesn't give useful feedback, but college english classes are useless anyways. A lot of useless reading & hw.

Comment:

I've had mostly bad experience taking online classes but Kelly's really wasn't too bad. She is great with using D2L and communicating via D2L and e-mail. There were quite a few papers to be completed for this class and it was a decent amount of work but she seemed to be very fair.

Comment:

I was skeptical about this professor based on the reviews. I actually enjoyed being a student in her online class. She's pretty straight forward & does not accept late work. If you submit every assignment you'll most likely pass. She communicates with her students often to assure confidence and support. I will be taking her next English class.

Comment:

Too be honest i have read some of the reviews and I cannot understand them. COMP I online with Kelly Donahue is by far the most laid back and easy class i have ever seen on a college campus. I'm not saying you can skip you homework or anything but she is helpful and the online course is a breeze WHILE actually learning to improve basic writing.

Comment:

To start, Kelly is very nice, although as someone paying for her class I did expect more. When she provides feedback on assignments it's not always clear what she wants. She goes off on tangents and makes lengthy posts. She tends to cut corners in her work, so you'll miss out on a lot of meaningful feedback. Would not take again.

I took comp 1 as an online only summer session. Even with all the papers, I would highly recommend her. I didn't always understand her feedback, but if I had asked I know she would of clarified for me. As she was a very fair and understanding teacher. Basically- this is a college course. Act accordingly and you will do well!!!

She was very tough. I often found I thought I had what she wanted and I was way off. But She is very very fair! And the work pays off!! Over all I would love to take her again for Comp II.

Comment:

I liked Kelly. She was good with D2L which i am slowly realizing some teachers at Century have no clue about. Not the case with Ms. Donahue though she had everything up there ready to go and working good. Kelly is friendly. Pay attention, and listen to her advice, it will be hard to get a bad grade.

She is a great teacher and I've gotten more out of her online courses than any that I have taken previously. I took her Engl 1021 course last summer and liked it so much that I took her class for Engl 1022 this summer(both online). Yeah, the essays can be tough at times but you'll be a much better student and writer for it. Highly recommended.

Comment:

Took this class as online, condensed 8 week Summer session. She responds promptly to emails & gives bonus points if you turned in all papers on time. Put in the effort, ask for help, don't plagiarize, & you'll be just fine. If you're planning to take online or condensed format, just be sure you're motivated enough to keep up with the schedule.
