Honeslty not bad and what you expect from a full term class. I took him for summer C and each week a 150 word discussion and 10 question quiz was due. The quiz had two attempts and same questions. Super easy and his mid term and final are easy as well, only 50 questions each but from the past quizzes. Super nice, i highly suggest you take him

Very easy class and assignments have specific instructions so easy to follow. Very easy grader. Mostly discussion posts and one essay.

Took in the summer, great professor, I believe one discussion post a week where you can choose what topic to write about. Interesting topics too. Not a strict grader, take him!

I am currently still taking this professors class and he is wonderful, he is always there to help and his assignments are understandable, everyone needing to take this class take it with him you will pass.

Fall 2025 8-week course which explains the heavy video assignments, but quick and easy to complete. Chapter tests require lockdown browser with 2 attempts. Honestly hard to fail the course unless you aren't trying. The 4 lowest chapter scores are waived in your final grade and the video assignments can be done anytime. Very fun course, recommend!

Professor Connolly is honestly the best professor I have had so far in my 3 years of college. He is very knowledgeable and genuinely cares about student's learning. The lectures are clear and well organized. He is always available and will answer with helpful feedback. Workload is reasonable. I definitely recommend his class if you want to learn.

Professor Connolly is very kind and motivating. The coursework itself is very manageable as long as you don't leave it to the last minute.

This is an online class and the assignments are all done through Sage Vantage in addition to some PlayPosit videos. He also emails a list of the assignments that need to be completed for the week and constantly sends out encouraging messages. He has been so caring and funny and I really wished I could've had a class with him in person.

Excellent professor. Always able to help and amazing.

Professor Connolly is incredibly respectful, kind, and fair with the grading. He even opened up old assignments in case anyone missed them. I would definitely take a class with him again.

Professor Connolly is the BEST. The class is stress free and centered around quizzes, reading activities, etc, all based on the online book. There are multiple attempts on everything (except the final) and quizzes are through a lockdown browser, so there's no fee to be paid or specific times to take them. I couldn't recommend this professor more

This professor is clear and caring. He is a great communicator and inspires students to learn and to keep going. I enjoyed his class very much.

Amazing teacher especially if taken online, responsive and active with the class, multiple attempts for everything as well as easy basic understanding of law can get you an A

To the person doubting the authenticity of the reviews i guarantee they're by his students, i am one of his students, he is sweet and understanding as well as an involved professor, the reason for the clumped date probably have to do with him asking all his students to leave him a review if they have the time, nothing fishy about the class

Prof Connolly is kind, funny and his emails are so encouraging. He extends assignments all semester long to help students, he genuinely wants to you to pass the course. The book is available online as a PDF so you don't need to buy it. The assignments are easy to follow, our whole class basically passed with an A, nothing is proctored - take him!!!

This professor was genuinely one of the best and nicest professors I've ever had. The assignments were very easy and super helpful for real life. He gives feedback almost immediately and allows you to fix any mistakes in your submission. 10/10 would recommend.

Great professor! His class was very educational and easy to manage. The workload was reasonable, would definitely recommend taking his class.

Take as many classes with Dr. Connolly as you can! He's easy to get in contact with through multiple forms of communication. He's a fast grader and will allow extra time on late assignments. He's a fair grader, and the assignments are interesting and informative. He offers extra credit.

Professor demonstrated outstanding professionalism and teaching ability in criminal justice. He explained complex material clearly, connected lessons to real-world practice, and was always available for guidance. His mentorship and support helped prepare me for my future career. He truly set the standard for excellence. Always.
