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!!
