Professor Donnelly is well loved by my entire class. She's a sweet woman and more than capable teacher. Her class is always fun. Sometimes, she can be difficult to understand, considering her Japanese accent, but she speaks english very well. I would definitely recommend her classes to anyone who has to take Sociology 101 or Japanese.

The cutest teacher ever! She is so sweet and makes learning Japanese very interesting and fun! In Japanese she only assigns homework once in a blue moon, but has weekly small vocab exams. She makes learning Japanese entertaining and you learn about the culture too. I recommend taking this class with her, if you are willing to do some work.

Overall, a great teacher, and makes learning Japanese as fun as she can. My only very small and minor complaint is that sometimes she really breezes through a LOT of material in one class, so it's a lot to take in, but that means nothing more than a little bit more studying. Overall, I would recommend her.

Took the online class and it was great. Very easy but many papers to write. But professor donnelly graded well as long as every question was answered in the papers. Would definitely recommend taking this class with this professor.Loved the fact that we were able to work ahead and submit work

Excellent teacher, very passionate about sociology. Has a thick Japanese accent, but once you get used to it she is easy to understand. Really very sweet and helpful; if you pay attention in class and do the reading you'll do fine.

this is a very thorough, methodical and passionate professor of japanese. she won't give you any excuses, don't give her any! we didn't play catch-up at the end of the semester, we actually finished with time to spare just as planned. we learned a lot, and it was really fun! i speak on behalf of the boys, who definitely would give her a pepper.

I took her online class. She is a good teacher, grades fairly and quickly. Kind of unclear on some papers about what to write about...there are alot of papers but they are all two pagers.just do the work and participate in the discussions.

Online version of class. Program was well organized. Prof. Donnelly is very involved in the discussions and very quick to respond to questions. Discussion and assignment workloads were evenly spaced, however the online exams were so focused on minutia that they were not really relevent. I would recommend removing them. Fair grader, recommend.

Fair, heavy accent but understandable. Sure bet for soc101. It was a requirment for me and i got through it fine.

I'm taking her for an on-line course. She is helpful when you have questions, and is a fair grader. Quizzes are timed, but you can have the textbook in front of you.Discussions are fair, and the written assignments are only two pages each. A very fair grader, in my opinion. Hard not to get at least a B.

Amazing teacher. Helped me learn a difficult language in a fast, fun, helpful atmosphere. One of the best teachers I've ever had. Keeps it real and has hooked me up on many occasions.

Took her for SOC 101 online course. She was very helpful, and the course was fairly easy. As with any online courses, there are a lot of discussions and writing assignments but she lets you know exactly what needs to be on the short papers. Highly recommend!

She is a really great teacher. I have taken her twice, once for sociology 101 and once for Japanese 101. Like others have stated she does have a Japanese accent but it's not that crazy. I understood her just fine. She has a great funny personality and gives fairly easy tests. If you take notes and do homework you should get an A in the class.

She's nice, participation is a must! Must have the textbook in order to pass and attendance is also very important. Her accent isn't so bad, her lectures are pretty easy to understand and the overall difficulty isn't bad.

I took her SOC 101 online class. You'll need the textbook to understand topics, quizzes and discussions. She will definitely help you when it comes to writing assignments and also lets you re-write one at the end of the semester, which is optional. Need to be a critical thinker for the discussion topics! Overall - great professor.

She's a great professor! Id you just do the hw and study, you will pass! Its difficult because it's a whole new language but overall a great class!

Good teacher, relatively fun class. Lot's of group activities and speaking. But the class is very hard and requires a ton of studying, if you fall behind at all you are screwed.

I took her for soc101/203 both online. She is a tough grader, gives lots of reading, quizzes,tests,and papers. She is the type of teacher to push you to do better through pressure and high stsndards. If you are looking to learn and get smarter, take her. If you are looking to eek by her class she will eat you alive. I really enjoyed my time in SOC

I had a difficult beggining and I lost some points, but this Professor gives students a chance to get extra points and if you show you care and you are passionate about the sociological issues you can get A no problem. I would have a class with this Professor again.

Donnelly-sensei is a caring, wonderful teacher, who tries her best to make Japanese fun and easy to learn. She enjoys it when people try their best and give it their all! Very laid back and open hearted; one of the nicest people I've ever met. Make sure to study and do homework every day if you are serious about Japanese!

Great professor. Very nice and explains everything well. Has a little bit of an accent but still easily understandable. Easy A if you do your homework and do well on the quizzes.

took an online class. All assignments were straightforward. As long as you did the reading you will do well on the quiz (which you get 2 tries on) Would definitely recommend for anyone looking to take an online class.

Took her online, she is a very tough grader. You have to be involved and if you put the effort into your assignments you will earn a grade you deserve.

Professor Donnelly is so sweet. She's an amazing teacher who really cares about her students and their learning. I took her class twice (101 & 102). She is straightforward about the amount of work and you really need to put the time in but that's the same for any language. She gives plenty of opportunities for extra credit.

Dont be discouraged by her reviews, if you want to take Japanese with this professor 100% do it!!! She teaches about Japanese culture in addition to the language, and shes native to Japan so you know its legit. As long as you put in time to study, its an easy A and she is so sweet, easily one of the best professors Ive had at Suffolk.

Took the online class. Yes it is a lot of reading & you have to write many journals & discussions but if you read the textbook it's not too difficult. Participation matters & you must stay involved & put the effort in to get the grade you deserve. Was willing to work w/ me & give extensions when I had family problems. Overall I recommend.

Estuko is an amazing Japanese professor! While she might not have the best reviews because of her Sociology courses she is amazing at Japanese. Being a native she helps students understand the nuance of Japanese while also providing a strong foundation for vocabulary.

I took her online sociology class. She is a tough grader but it made me want to try harder on the next assignment which I think is her goal. I got really good grades on most of the assignments (usually full credit) and the quizzes were easy as long as you do the readings. If I didnt get full credit she explained why and was very helpful.

Participation and attendance matter but I loved being in her class. Even though it was COL101 she made the class fun and interesting while providing insight into a range of topics that excelled outside the curriculum.

Read, read, read. Assignments are VERY wordy and confusing but she always makes herself accessible to answer questions. A lot of work, but I would take her again.

I had this professor for college seminar, which was fully online. The assignments were not too hard and she was always very quick to respond to emails. Do the assignments and the class is an easy A.

You're definitely going to have to apply yourself but if Sociology is your major, I one hundred percent recommend taking a class with Prof. Donnelly. You'll be able to watch yourself grow in your writing and applications of the course material. I would definitely take her again. Lots of extra credit, be prepared to work! She will help if needed!

I love professor Donnelly!! Not a lot of work, only 2 journals that are fairly easy and reading the textbook along with online quizzes following the reading but they are open book, also super easy. She gives great lectures and is just lovely, just make sure you are not on your phone or laptop and are engaged. Amazing class

Great Professor, would recommend taking her! Is kind and supportive and really cares deeply about topics that are important ini todays changing society.

Sensei Donnellly is extremely kind and make learning Japanese really easy. Expect to take an easy test every week.

Dr. Donnelly was certainly the best professor I've taken for a language. Japanese was easier than my Spanish classes. Sensei makes the class very easy to follow. Go to the Language learning center!!! Extra credit on your final grade for attending! Plus, it really helps! Take this class if you're remotely thinking of taking it!

Professor Donnelly is a sigma, the negative reviews are sounding pretty beta... Yikes. But it's Japanese, if you thought it was gonna be easy you probably already know Japanese. It's a hard class taught in the easiest way possible. Prof. Donnelly is engaging, her presentations are fun! I'm definitely taking JPN 102.

Professor Donnelly is, hands down, the best language teacher I've ever had. Her class was clear, engaging, and focused on real-world use rather than just following a textbook. The homework load was heavy, but it provided excellent practice and really helped reinforce the material. I'm absolutely planning to take her 102 class and independent study!

Im not too sure why her ratings are bad, In my class she seems very outgoing and nice. You are required to have a textbook for homeworks, I can't really think of anything bad she has done? She likes interacting with the class, she does have weekly quizzes which might be a bit difficult for people, nice professor though

Her lectures are AMAZING, she made it so engaging and fun, I know nothing about sociology before this, she made me fell in love with the subject, an amazing teacher, her tests are simple and straight forward if you read and pay attention in class, she also gives quite a lot of extra credits, genuinely one of the greatest teacher I ever had! 10/10.
