This is a very positive teacher, one I would return to given the chance. He makes this course fun and something I look forward to coming to. He's doesn't like to sit and lecture; instead, he tries to make sure that the students are active as much as possible. I recommend taking a class with this professor to any student.
Professor Donnelly is the best. You can tell from the first day that he truly cares about his students. He wants each individual to become successful & to enjoy their college experience. The class is fairly easy & requires little work, but it's still engaging & exciting. He turns lectures into class discussions w/ hands-on activities. Take him!!
He is one of my favorite professors! He cares so much about me and all the students. He is always engaging with his students, and has a different style of teaching us everyday. He follows his syllabus, and manages to have a set routine. It's such a positive environment in his class, and he makes all of his students feel so welcomed.
I had Professor Donnelly last semester and I don't think I'll every step in any other classroom that has the same environment his classroom does. It's such a positive environment in his class and he makes all his students feel welcomed. I'm so glad to have been lucky to have him as my professor. I wish he taught other courses because he is amazing!
Prof Donnelly is such a cool guy! The kind of prof that involves everyone and really cares about his students. I took a hybrid class so as long and you turn in your work online it's super easy and the work is super simple too- I literally made a 100. Def recommend him for your teacher! PS- Attendance is a grade at the end of the semester
Professor Donnelly is AWESOME. He is very responsive to questions and concerns and gives very clear instructions. You'll make a 100 on every assignment as long as you follow directions and criteria. Midterm and final are both open book, and questions come straight out of the textbook required.
He is an awesome professor! I took him fully online for Summer Session II. If you do all the assignments and turn them in on time, then you will pass his class with an A. I highly recommend getting the textbook because the midterm and final are from the textbook. Take Professor Donnelly if you want to easily obtain an A!
Great teacher and highly recommended. Understanding and genuinely cares about your grades and what's going on in your life.
His lectures are interesting. He tries to make it work for each and every one of his students. Not only are his lectures interesting, but they are full of stuff that every college student should know. He has good advice about everything not just school.
Professor Donnelly is an outstanding professor and has such a positive outlook on life. The advice he gives is very helpful and helps the first semester be less overwhelming. He ensures that he makes a connection with each and every one of his students and this makes students feel comfortable to engage. Fun class!

Great, kind professor. I took his class online during the summer, and everything was pretty straight forward and easy. 3-4 assignments were due on each Sunday and most of it I was able to knock out in half an hour or less each. He grades quickly and fairly. Good, useful class and a good start for a high GPA, would recommend.
There is no reason not to get an A in this class. He gives really easy to follow instructions. The weekly assignments can usually be completed in less than a hour. He does a great job of motivating his students and he returns graded work extremely fast.
I took this class online over the summer so that I wouldn't have to take it during the fall , and I am so glad I did . He is very clear on instructions and all of his assignments are easy as long as you read the directions and follow rubrics . Overall good class !
I took this class online for education. This professor gives super CLEAR and easy assignments and you can tell he has a passion for teaching.

Taking this class was a breath of fresh air. It really helped with learning about your self as a student and navigating through your first year of college. Professor Donnelly is very encouraging!
It was simple and educational, he provides loads of great resources on hand that were very useful. He's even a super chill guy to put up with my cat gif shenanigans. His feedback was patient and extremely helpful and I had a really good time with this class. It's nice to have an involved professor for once, it's a refreshing change of pace.
I took Professor Donnelly for a 3 week mini semester in the summer. He put everything for all three weeks in on the first day. You could work ahead. I finished all 3 weeks in a couple of days. Very easy assignments. He always is quick to answer emails anytime of day. If you are taking EDUC 1300 definitely take him. You will not regret it.
Professor Donnelly is helpful and highly organized: stick to the schedule and you'll do amazing. The worse part was being asked to revise assignments when the revision didn't add value but the great part is that they were super easy, barely an inconvenience!
Easy class, he sticks to the schedule and is very quick to grade everything. Always responds quickly to any email. One of the best.
Great professor; took him in the fall 2021 semester. The class never felt overwhelming, and he responds quickly. You'll receive a good grade as long as you participate in discussions and complete his assignments which aren't time consuming.
Amazing class! Very educational and will help me a lot throughout college. He's an outstanding professor. 10/10 would take again.
Excellent intro into college, the assignments are designed so that you have a strong understanding of what resources and other things the campus can provide. Everything you do in the class has a purpose and he just wants you to succeed. The workload is comfortable and his D2L is laid out well. Enjoyable professor.
Prof Donnelly was amazing! He's caring and communicates well with his students! Clear grading criteria and feedback! No tests, only projects. Often he would open a few weeks' worth of assignments up to give students time to work! Extra credit or bonus opportunities on assignments, and he's a quick grader, usually only had to wait a day for a grade
A great first professor! He is very caring and wants his students to succeed. He is well-organized, clear, and follows the syllabus.
I took this class as a mini semester (3 weeks). The work was very manageable and only consisted of projects and short assignments (no tests). All the assignments were opened the day the semester started so you could get ahead. He grades very quickly and gives feedback. As long you do the work you will pass the class. Very easy 100!!!
This was a good class and I appreciate the lessons iv taken with me. Thank you professor
Professor Donnelly is the best professor I've had for an education class. You have to do observations in his class and well as the objectives and quizzes for the chapters. There's 3 presentations. He's funny, caring, and very outgoing. Overall, I loved this professor and recommend that you take his class!
I took professor Donnelley for EDUC 2301 Specials Population. He is a charismatic professor that genuinely cares for each and every one of his students.

Professor Michael Donnelly is a great teacher, even in an online class. He explains everything clearly and makes the things easy to understand. His teaching style is organized and helpful. He also made the course feel comfortable and not stressful. I really enjoyed his class and would be happy to take another one with him in the future.
I enjoyed his class because his teaching style was that he would talked/explain the topic in way that we could talk about it and have a class discussion, instead of him explaining the topic and us writing notes. Also, the projects he gave were fun and interesting to do.
Very easy and chill class, just get everything done on time and you'll be good?

Professor Donnelly's class is honestly one of the easiest classes I've taken online. If you ever have a question about something, he reponds back pretty quickly. His grading criteria is pretty clear and his class isn't hard so you should have no reason to fail.
great prof!! easy to keep up
I loved the way Professor Donnelly gave clear instructions, and everything was easy to understand! Very good professor :)
My professor has high expectations, students should try to do their best to meet them. He puts much value on students taking part and joining the class discussions. Notwithstanding his demanding standards, the way he makes corrections teaches students valuable lessons for their improvement.
The Professor was extremely nice. He was very organized in categorizing homework assignments and grading work quickly, which was my favorite aspect. Another thing is that he provides feedback for the majority of the assignments, so you'll know if you need to improve any aspects. Although completing work on time is crucial in this course.
Very good teacher!
This is a smooth ride!

He is so kind, encouraging, and charismatic! I really recommend this teacher, as long as you show up to class and complete the assignments, you're good.

Professor Donnelly was perfect choice for a first semester class. He told us upfront that the class would seem easy because it's all about us as a student. And he's right. I was able to evaluate my study habits and come up with new ones and study my own personality and how it impacts my career choice. I feel ready for college now!
Professor Donnelly made every assignment clear and understandable. He was so easy to reach whenever I had a question about an assignment and even provided detailed videos every week of what was to be expected in the assignment folders every week.

Professor Donnelly is easily one of my favorite professors I have had this semester at Lone Star. He does not give challenging assignments and is always willing to help.
I mostly appreciate how this professor challenged me to think about my life and where I'm going. This class gives you the time to reflect on what your strengths are and if you're heading in the right direction with your career. I see college very different now and I'm feeling focused and ready to get going!
The professor is very easy going and clear with his instructions. . He is easy to approach and knows what he is talking about. Its been an honor being in his class this semester. He is overall a 10/10 would recommend professor.
i took this class fall of 25. there were 2-3 assignments per week, pretty easy. class time is lecture heavy, and includes group discussion/overall participation. prof was very passionate and caring.
Very fair professor and manageable class. Sets clear grading criteria and expectations. Just do the work and you'll be set for greatness in this course.
Honestly the best professor you could ask for. Super passionate and caring, and you can definitely tell that he's determined to helping students and setting them up for success. Clear instructions, 2-3 assignments/week, shouldn't take too long to finish. My class was hybrid, he always gives a chance to make up absence by going to his other section!
I think he is a kind of professor a first semester students should have. As well as the group activities and discussion used as learning methods are great help to improve skills. overall he is awesome professor.
Professor Donally was an excellent professor. He assigns easy assignments, especially practicing for formal presentations and job interviews, and the guest speakers we had were very interesting for the college campus. I highly recommend this professor for EDUC 1300; he is incredible.
I would absolutely take another class taught by Professor Donnelly as he is one of the best professors I have had so far. His lectures are always easy to follow and sit through as he encourages us to participate. Homework isn't tough and he grades accordingly; he wants you to be successful in his class and not waste your/his time.
he is very good at what he teach
Professor Donnelly was amazing take this class !!! As an honors student this class was super easy he assigns reflection essays every week but they're super easy and no word limit js write about anything he asks you too, he gives off such sad energy specially with his dad jokes, he is such a girls dad love his energy and enthusiasm
He is a great teacher. He makes class interesting and sometimes fun. He is really funny, at least he is in my opinion. He is also very supportive and doesn't embarrass you like certain teachers. He is also understanding. I don't have a complete grade yet. I do not like the discussion posts,complicated. I can't explain bcs of word limit. 10/10 teach
I enjoyed Professor Donnelly's class. He explained assignments well and answered any questions before, during, or after class. He kept assignments light and lectures entertaining. The assignments themselves can always be completed in a day or less. He provides good feedback, but you are expected to turn assignments in on time, as goes for anyone.
He is a chill and funny teacher, would love to take his class again!
Professor Donnelly was great! He explained subjects well and I feel more prepared for my future in college than before. Overall his class was relatively simple, there was no studying etc. involved, more so stating your opinions and being open to discussion/talking!
Professor Donnelly is a great professor! I'm glad I was able to take this class with him as he was easy to talk to, had very helpful lectures for a first-year student, and had easy, yet informative work for us to do. He's also pretty funny and chill!
He was real nice, made a lot of the assignments easy to understand and just wanted the best for you and for you to understand why your here
Very chill and easy class. Professor Donnelly is respectful, genuine, and cares about all his students. He gives helpful advice, his instructions are clear, and he makes the class feel comfortable and stress free.
A very easy-going and caring professor. He is by far one of the most chillest teacher I have ever gotten out of all my years in the education field . I have never seen him get mad once and all the work he gives us are so easy to do. He is fantastic.
So funny and nice and easy i would take again!
Professor Donnelly is hands down the best professor I've had. Lectures are very straight forward and lots of room to get work done. Professor Donnelly will do a great job setting you up for success for your future. The only reason you would fail this class is if you don't pay attention and not do your work. All of the assignments are easy.
He taught in a way that made very clear and sense to us and really helped us a lot with the material making it very easy to do the assignments and give us examples and always helped us with it. His teaching style was amazing and I enjoyed being in his class
He is really great. Best professor ever. Made college better and easier. Really great guy. Cares about his students and make class actually fun. 10/10 He made college easier.
Personally, one of my favorite professors and possibly yours Aswell he's very nice and understanding, very chill and funny, and extremely helpful in giving extra time. He brings many resources throughout the semester to help you think about your future and moving forward always which is helpful if you don't know much about college or your plans.
He was really nice overall and easy to connect with. he always gave every student a chance to connect, was also really funny and caring about his students he always went the extra mile
Professor Donnelly was very lenient on lat submissions and is always very welcoming. You will have to present in this class several times but the more you do, the less scared you will feel when actually being up there. This class also helped me get to know the people around me and I even made friends because of this class. Its great.
You can tell he cares a lot about his students, and I valued the dedication he took in ensuring that his students were doing well in their courses. Highly recommend him!
Professor Donnelly made sure to inform his students of everything Lone Star offers. It was a very helpful class that can help you navigate your plans for transfer. He can be lenient on late submissions, but you will be expected to participate in many group discussions. Overall, he is very sweet and you can tell he really cares.
If every professor taught like him, students wouldn't need caffeine or alarms to show up to class. He somehow makes a college class interesting at 9 in the morning, which I previously believed was scientifically impossible. He clearly wants the best for his students. Fantastic professor. Highly recommend.
My professor has a very easygoing and supportive teaching style that makes the class feel approachable. He explains the material clearly and is always willing to help if you're confused or behind. Overall, he keeps the course straightforward and manageable, which makes learning in his class stress-free.
