She is straight forward with every thing she does. If you have a question just email her and she gets back to you within the same day. If you pay attention, take notes, and study those notes then you will have absolutely no problem on her exams. She cares a whole heck of a lot about who does good and who doesn't.

Professor Donohue is the only professor that can fill a classroom at 8:30 in the morning and her students want to be there! I loved every minute of this class and I hope to take this wonderful professor again and again. She is always upbeat and cares about her students.

This class is amazing! Prof. D comes highly recommended by all who have taken her classes. She is caring and wants her students to succeed. She expects hard work and mandatory attendance. You want to come to class as she takes a tough topic and makes it so interesting to learn. I never miss her class! If you care about kids you should take class

She is the one of the best professors at MSU!!!!! Once you meet her you will never be able to forget her. She has a nice personality, very open minded when it comes to discussions and has a beautiful soul. I really believe that taking her would enhance your college experience and you will absolutely love her.

Professor Donohue is one of my favorite professors! She cares about her students and she wants her students to understand what she is teaching. She wants us to understand the topic and she connects it to real life by showing us videos to make us understand it more. I am definitely planning on taking Professor Donohue again!

This class is great and so interesting. This is my third time taking Prof. D and she is by far the best professor in the justice studies department. She is brilliant, knows her stuff but most important is kind and caring which is rare of a college prof. She truly cares about her students and is the best MSU has to offer. Look at her ratings!!

One of the best professors out there. Very caring and I learned a lot from her class. All assignments were one-page papers based on her PowerPoint. Very easy to do, just make sure to cite correctly, There was a midterm and final and a movie paper. As long as you do the work, you have an easy A. I recommend taking her class.

Prof. D is meant to teach this class. As a Senior (who has had her 3x before) I am so happy to take her one last time before I graduate. She lets her students believe that anything is possible with hard work! Unlike many other professors, she CARES and is always encouraging her students to do their best. she is the best of the best ! Must take !

BEST PROFESSOR AT MSU! Prof Donohue cares about her students ode and her lectures are always mad interesting. This was my only class so far @MSU where I genuinely couldn't wait to go to class. She respects everyone's opinion and her exams are easy if you study for them. Take great notes or you won't pass tho. Amazing class and even better person!

The best Professor you could ever take in the Justice Studies department at MSU. She really cares about her students and knows what shes talking about. There are only 3 exams and 1 paper, so make sure you study and follow her directions thoroughly for the paper. Im taking her again this upcoming spring semester. Phenomenal

Professor D is the best at MSU. This class is the best I have ever taken here. She comes thru the screen and inspires you. I struggled in the beginning but she pushed me. I have had her in person as well and I love her. She truly cares for her students and is a breathe of fresh air and did I mention that she is brilliant but yet down to earth.

If you are a justice studies major, you MUST take Prof. D. She is by far my favorite professor at MSU. She cares which is rare and she will push you to your fullest potential like she did for me. She is kind and I have tried to take every class that she teaches here and have had her 3x. You will learn which is why we are here. Take her!

I had the privilege of taking 2 courses with Professor Donohue and she is the single most amazing professor on campus! She cares so much about her students and it is obvious; She's willing to help her students learn and thrive. She makes a huge impact on her students and if you get the chance to take one of her courses, do it! You won't regret it!

Prof. D is the most amazing person and professor. She loves teaching and she is changing students lives. MSU is so lucky to have this amazing gem. If you are a justice major you have to take her. How many profs fill their class at 8am. I would take any class she teaches no matter what time! Absolutly love her!

Professor Donohue is by far one of the best professors I've taken at MSU. She's understanding, compassionate, and genuinely loves what she does. If you have the chance to take her at all, you should do it in a heartbeat! Bear in mind though, you have to earn your grade in her class. As long as you put the effort, you'll pass. Take her!

Donohue is the most professional, caring, assertive, and outstanding professor I have met as a sophomore at MSU. Yes, she is firm and strict; however, she's a good professor who prepares her students for law school. I'm taking her class next semester, absolutely love her!

Although this class is an 8am class, I would jump out of bed to attend. Donohue knows how to make every class she teaches interesting. She is a career prosecutor now judge, who brings her lifetime courtroom experiences into class. She truly cares about her students and that is unusual as most professors don't. If you want to learn, take her class!
