Boy is this lady obsessed with sex and beer..you should've heard the Clinton stories!!
easiest class i've ever taken in college, she is a ditz though
This is truly a one of a kind professor. You'll leave class every day having truly understood what she just said. She is very intune to keeping her class captivated..She teaches with a mix of funny stories and compelling facts. GREAT PROF!
Professor Donnelly has been one of my favorite professors to date. She is fun, energetic, easy to understand, knowledgable and most important of all a good teacher.
Wonderful professor who has the ability to keep her students attention from the first class to the last. I really enjoyed the class, and her teaching style!
One of the easiest courses I took!! Just attend the Very Interesting classes... and u'll ROCK:D Listen carefully..for what she says..is useful for exams:)

Excellent teacher, makes even hour long lectures fun and at the same time educational.
She is very entertaining and fun.

Awesome.....Awesome.....
She rocks... always interesting and she's a real person. She is also active in the profession she's teaching about. I barely read the book but always went to lecture and got a B.
she's funny
she's awesome. she's funny and you don't have to really do any work to get an A
She makes u want to go to class
I had perfect attendance in her class while I skipped all of my other classes frequently. I loved PSY 120 with Donnelly.

Awesome teacher, you dont have to work very hard to get an A in the class. She gives you the questions to the exams during the lectures.
Very good prof and an extremely easy class. Got a C, and two B's on her exams and still ended with an A.
She was hysterical and a really great teacher. I didnt study for any of her exams and got an A easily. The way she teaches makes you remember the info clearly. I bet I could take a PSY 120 final right now and still get an A. She just knows how to teach.
She's is so funny!
She was a great professor. Very fair, and didn't try to trick you. She made class interesting and fun. Great Professor
She was a fun prof, but I think she could have spent more time on making the material clear than on how well students like her.
She's a wonderful teacher, and makes the material and class fun. She really makes students want to come to lectures, and helps prepare you for her tests very well.
hilarious
Sitting in her class made me want to gouge my own eyes out. I hated it.
A great prof. I've known her since I was four, and she's always been a cool person. The class was fairly easy, but I also was interested in the material.
No Comments
She was an awesome prof. Very amusing, clear lectures. Sometimes the material was boring, but she tried to make it fun even in CL 50 with 500 people.
Awful. Cares more about cracking bad jokes than teaching.
She is a very fun & interesting professor. She makes learning psychology fun and has made me more interested in pursuing psychology.
great professor!
I so regret my missing her 3 classes.
Semi hard tests. Interesting lectures. Easiest PSY teacher to listen to because she is attractive.
No Comments
What a good professor, she is really easy going and helpful. Nothing was too challenging in this class.
Very, very awesome. Even the boring stuff is made fun. Highly recommended class if you can get her, I hear the rest suck in comparison.

Take a class from Carol Donnelly. You will not regret it.
Very good professor! She gives a lot of examples that help to clarify disorders etc. I would definately recommend that you take her class!
No Comments
This class is what convinced me to change to a Psych major. I loved it sooo much!!
Has a good sense of humor
she makes what's already interesting even more interesting. I really enjoyed taking her class.
Donnelly is a really good professor. She makes even the boring stuff interesting. Plus we watched Napoleon Dynamite in that class. You know a class is cool when you get to watch Napoleon Dynamite.
Understanding person
It's the only class that I've never skipped. I actually looked forward to class. I absolutely loved the class. I've learned so much from Prof. Donnelly. If there ever was a Professor of the Year Award at Purdue, I'd definitely vote for her.
awesome class!
she's an awesome teacher, very clear, her tests cover lecture material well
From the back of the class, a guy can be easily confused into thinking she's much younger than she is. On top of that, the subject matter is interesting, and she keeps it fun with demos and videos and personal stories. She can inspire people.

Professor Donnelly is so cool, and her class is a breeze!!

She is cool.
so cute and really fun to listen to
Best prof I ever had!!
best prof!!!! i will go to every cls even she is not taking attendance!!!
She's so fun! She managed to make a huge lecture feel as cozy as a small class, and it was easy but we still learned a lot.
Tight
wow best teacher ever!!!!! she makes a big lecture class like my small ma224 class!!! she is very interesting... all the demos and videos make us awake in the "usually boring" psychology class!!! i took AP PSych in my high school and i fell asleep for the whole year but with donelly she makes it really interesting!! long live donelly!!!!! best ever
Great professor..funny..interesting
Wonderful teacher, very interesting, very humorous, and just a plain joy to go to her class
She cares more about trying to make you laugh than teaching. I learned nothing from coming to class except that she has jokes planned out. And hot? Look up close and you'll see she's not.
best prof i ever had! she makes learning fun and interesting! only class i never skip. donnelly is amazing, engaging and i'm learning alot!
I don't care what anyone says, Donnelly is a SAINT. OMFG I love her.
She's a pleasure to my eyes
Prof. Donnelly is a great professor!! She makes psychology fun & interesting, plus she's beautiful!

LOVE THIS TEACHER!!!!!
So first of all, for a 100 level psych course it's not easy to get A's on the exams- that's really frustrating when i can ace my 300 level chemistry/biology courses. Reading her notes is like fragments that make no sense. On a bright note, Donnelly IS a real sweetie- you can't help but like her. And for the boys..she looks super young for her age.
I still don't know why people think she's hot... I mean, she's not ugly, but she's not a looker. Anyway - the only thing that sucks about her class is that your grade is based entirely on three tests, so if you screw up on one of them, you're digging your way out of it on the other two.
I have learned nothing. Get a close look if you think she is a looker.
Her lectures are very interesting, to me at least. The exams really aren't that bad and she's super nice... also, she lets us curse in class. That makes her cool.
Carol is hot. A downside to her class is that your grade is based only on three exams, and I do not believe that attendance has much of an impact on your grade. TA Cynthia is fine as can be.
I hate psychology, but she made it bearable. She's energetic and fun, and she makes a 500 person lecture seem like a 20 person class. One of the best professors at Purdue.
She was a GREAT prof. I loved her class...she had interesting tactics to match the lesson. I would recomend this class for anyone!
She's amazing!
Very interesting lectures. Keeps my attention
ya she and the ta are hot. easy class.
Great fun professor.
She's a really awesome teacher!!!
Very good at keeping students interested. Also, very attractive for an older lady.
best teacher ever!!! and hot
Excellent... you dont want to miss her classes...
Attending class and paying attention is a must. Tests are a lot harder than she leads on.
excellent teacher
I agree, her tests are harder than she leads on. I don't like her teaching style, but she's a nice lady and she's pretty helpful.
Really Helpful makes the class interesting.
she's awesome. talks about sex all the time and she's pretty hot despite being in her 50s. front row = win
Very helpful, clear, and easy to understand. She is very approachable and will be happy to answer your questions. Her lectures are relevant to the material that we are to be tested over. Her slides are very interesting and keep the class engaged. Overall, a wonderful instructor.
Class starts much harder than expected due to the false image of the class being a joke. Sex is a frequent topic and despite being a power hour, the lectures are generally easy to pay attention to. Don't expect much from the first test, it's rather hard without letting you gain a bunch of knowledge. Class gets better once it gets more specified.
Hilarious prof
this prof is awesome! she's pretty much my role model. she's gorgeous, very smart, and she's got an awesome job. she basically puts notes up FOR you. you just have to copy them. exams are easy -- just review the material. good attendance helps a lot with your grade.
She was an awesome professor. This is by far the best entry level psychology professor you could get.
This professor was awesome! She was really funny and even though she has a class of 500+ students, she still finds a way to get the class to participate.
she is the most pretty, nice, funny professor i had ever seen. i learned a lot from her. i like her and her course.
Lol definitely my favorite class so far. Donnelly is amazing, and the class is so easy/interesting. Its the only class I never missed a day of.
She's entertaining to listen to, but I don't feel like I've learned much over the semester.
Easy class, just 3 tests and she took attendance once. Must talk to TA to get any answers.
I loved this prof! I never missed a class, this is a class that will help you understand people and change the way you think.
Awesome class! Professor Donnelly makes every class entertaining, informative, and interesting. It's easy to get an A, and I actually enjoyed going to class! Probably one of the best professrs at Purdue!
JUST GREAT! You'll often find the class laughing really hard. Class attendance is pretty high. (That kinda says it all.) May take some work to organize the lecture notes before exams, but hard work will pay off! an A is almost guaranteed if you study for exams!
I really loved her lecture. The fact that she is so happy sounding kept me awake, and the fact that she records her lectures helped me when I was sick.
Professor Donnelly's passion for her subject is clear. Her classes are very interesting and she tries to apply the subject to her audience. She uses great examples. The only downside is that the classes are so big that talking to her is impossible and she does not attend tests.
awesome professor~!!XD
Wonderful Professor who is well versed in her subject matter and is also completely passionate about her life's work in the field!!! I would take her again in a heartbeat!
She now gives everyone full credit for attendence but attending them will make you :) Organize her notes, I think she deliberately disorder them. And, I got 74,80, did the bonus, 96 on final. Therefore I got my A. you can do it!!! Don't give up when you think the sky is falling.
Great Prof, got me interested
I love Carol
She's passionate!
She was very knowledgable, and i found it very interesting.
Carol Donnelly is without question the best teacher I have ever had in my life, no lie.
Makes class fun and entertaining. She always comes to class with a smile on her face and proves she knows her stuff.
She was just fantastic.
i loved her! She had the coolest experiments/examples. got the class involved. She will be missed!!!
Great class and prob by far my most fave psych class i've taken at Purdue.
this was the best prof ever, because of her I wan to be a psychologist!
This was probably the only class in my college career where I had perfect attendance and class was really late in the evening. I looked forward to going to her class every Tues. and Thurs.
