doesn't grade writing until the end so you don't really know how you are doing
awesome. she helped a ton with my writing. she'll talk to you any time about your essays or how you're doing in class. take her!!
this class was really easy, she helps out a lot with ideas for papers during class, there isn't a lot to do and she picks good reading materials, and not boring ones
young, cute, and bubbly. Real chill and laidback and she lets you do a ton of creative and personal narrative papers. YOu have a lot of freedom in the class and she helped improve my writing skills.
Not easy..more like kickback and way smart. She keeps it interesting all the time, especially for 8am.
Best english teacher i've had. Ms. Donnelly is brilliant and she cares about improving your papers through the semester. Her class is relaxed but you get a lot done.
she actually makes english fun and essay topics are very interesting in this class to the point where writing them isnt so bad.......also gives alot of help at her office hours.
She the best. I learned so much from her class, and she didn't even give us too much work. SHe asks for your best and grades you on imporvment. She is so cool and so fun. You can even relate to her in a lot of ways.
she is actually nice and cool..she helps a lot outside of class. her books are better than most.
my class is sooo early but she really tries to keep it going and she's really cool with talking about your papers with you. she is upbeat and very sweet.
our essays are fun and so are the books. Ms Donnelly is so nice!!
overall a cool class, she is a younger teacher so you can relate to her. I like how we read different types of books, not just old boring ones
Very good teacher with a great personality. Easy to approach, very young, and is absent alot.
take her!! class is organized and chill. her papers are interesting, she helps with all your process.
She lets you ask any questions about your papers, and she's easy to talk with and get a hold of. my writing got alot better with her!
Miss Donnelly is amazing!! She truley cares for her students, she wants you to improve at your own rate. she should teach upper divisions and i would take her.
she is very very smart, helpful with paper ideas. also open to your interpretations. i LOVE her books!
her grades are fair which is good for a change, you will work but not too bad.
she's so awesome...she's open and friendly and she really knows what she's talking about. her papers, although you write a lot, are generally about you and she's a very fair grader.
I heard nothing but raves about Miss Donnelly. My writing improved to the point that i actually enjoy it now. She's awesome!
Do you want a prof who is super nice, funny *and* who gets you to like your writing more? Then take her.
she is the best teacher i have had so far. her class is really fun and you read good books. she really helps you improve your writing while still being really easy and fair. also, she gives no tests at all.
she is a great teacher, more laid back than most. but you still learn a lot. read some great books. she has an awesome personality, and something about her is just hott.
She is mad smart and I love her lectures, she opens your eyes to so many possibilities in your topic and expansion. My writing is better now from her class.
very understanding prof. your improvements come from the workshops and getting to know your own process but don't slack. she loooves when you ask questions and will help with any details, also in office visits.
Loved this class. Donnelly was very helpful and understanding. Didn't give you a lot of eassys. Her paper were straightforward and you can mix the prompts together to make it easier to write. Insightful discusssions. Teacher is very energetic and spunky.
what i liked best about ms. donnelly is how open she is to different perspectives. i visited her in her office like three times and she had new ideas every time. fair grader.
Chill and very nice. She picks newer books, so if you're sick of the same old **** take her instead!
This teacher is amazing. I hated english all through high school and she makes it fun. You have good topics to discuss in class, the papers are easy especiallyw with the help she give you. My favortie prof since i have been at here...Took her twice.
SHE ROCKS! She is so passionate and energetic about teaching. She's young and relates so well to her students. The books you read in this class are so awesome - I highly recommend this class or anything else she teaches!
3 papers, 1 final. Shes so passionate and understanding that you really are motivated in her class. I honestly cant say ive seen an unhappy face in her class. everyone smiles because she is so amazing. shes hilarious, picks great books to read, and is an all around terrific person. take her!
An amazing person, an amazing teacher, will work on things with you until you feel comfortable and gives ideas all along the way. Funny and hotttttttt.
AWESOME teacher i hated english but she made it enjoyable, grades fair, she's young and laidback and funny. only 3 essays and only one that was 7 pages, great new books, great energy, sometimes class was cancelled i really think class was cancelled half of the time...LITERALLY
she also makes sure you get the basics u will need for your other classes like MLA. class wasn't cancelled 2 much/u get all work done.
Miss Donnelly was recommended by my roomie and she was amazing!! Discussions were great and my writing is more focused..very clear. Brilliant lady.

she's absolutley the best, so cute!! prof donnelly even helped me with papers for another class--go to her office hours, she lives to help her students one on one.
English 110 is supposed to be the most brutal freshman class there is but with Ms. Donnelly, it rocks! This woman is AMAZING! Her class is so eazy, and she makes it totally interesting. She even lets you go early most of the time and cancels class a lot too. Best English teacher here, for serious. Sign up for her class!
you want to do good work for her. :) like people say she is very clear about expectations-she also doesn't ramble and yeah, will let you go on time or a little before versus just going on and on. go to office hours, she likes it.
unbelieveable teacher. knows how to handle college writing. not nearly as much writing as other eng 110 classes and she is always available to talk. makes class fun and she is very energetic.
I loved this class! Prof. Donnelly is very easy going and personable. I had so much less work than a lot of my friends that took English 110, but I still felt like I learned a lot. If you have been put off by English in the past, take her and she will make you fall in love with the subject.
ms donnelly=my hero, take her class, DO IT!
makes texts intersting with her humor. freakin hott, i sat in the front row every day
HS made me hate writing- she helped remind me how much I love it! She lets you choose your topic, but gives enough structure that you don't get frustrated. She doesn't force the traditional 5 para essay, either. Chooses great books, and summer reading isn't the first thing that's covered. She's interesting, very personable, energetic, and inspiring
Took an early class and she made it bearable. She's a great teacher, take anything you can w/ her!
ABOVE AND BEYOND, people!! she is wonderful, looks for your individual progress, clear, helpful, fuuuunnny lady.
No b.s., really clear and makes u think. I miss her class over break. She's a great person and an awesome teacher!
Best teacher ever!!!!! so funny,cute,interesting, fun and insitefl
I had her for both 110 and 140. She's amazing! Take this class you won't regret it. It's fun. You read interesting books. Her classes are the best english classes you can take at LMU hands down!
miss d. is soo silly!!!
shes pretty and nice...making it so hard to concentrate on what she was saying in class, but overall very clear on what she wants, and is excellent in lecturing about symbolisms and what not.
she is am amazing teacher who helped me get through my first year
I love this class she's honestly the best 110 teacher you'll find. Snag her quick. She helps so much, and she really wants you to do well.
Simply my favorite professor that I have had at LMU. She is the best. I had her for an 8 AM class, but it was the class I most looked forward to.
Great professor. Very understanding and always willing to help.
she's so helpful, really engaging and she treats you like a peer...and she is heeeelarious. you have to take her!!
She is awesome...she really wants you to do well. She is so helpful and really fair with grading and with assignments. Even though the class is at 8am it is soo soo worth it. The class is really pretty easy. She will help you with whatever you need.
Professor Donnelly is AWESOME!!!!!!!!! She is so fun and interesting to learn from! FAVORITE teacher ever!
Amazing teacher
She is funny, easy to follow and extremely helpful. Class is entertaining and I don't even mind it being an 8 o'clock.
this is my favorite class with my favorite professor! sure, having it at 8oclock sucked, but donnelly is SUPER funny. she is also very helpful. as long as you go to class and participate and turn in essays for workshops on time you'll do great. TAKE HER :) if i could take her again, i would
never had a prof who takes a personal interest like she does. very understanding, and hot!!
Extremely helpful, makes the subject fun. No busy work, like many other 110s. I would love to take her again, she's awesome and really funny.
She is amazing. The best teacher I have had so far. TAKE HER whenever you can.
Her Advanced Composition class was ah-mazing! Come back, Prof. Donnelly!!!!
She's great! Funny, extremely helpful prof. She does not compare you to other students but looks for individual improvement.
She is the best!! She makes a dull writing course a lot of fun and I actually looked forward to class. No busy work like other sections. She is WAY cool for a professor and I highly recommend taking any and every class she teaches!!
accept no substitutes!!
Awesome professor, awesome class. You wouldn't think a required 100 level english class would be as fun and helpful as this. I would highly recommend.
she is the best professor! super sweet and understanding! she made a class that could be really boring very interesting...I highly recommend taking her class!
She is the best professor I have had thus far in college. She is funny, smart and witty. She is always understanding of outside circumstances. Class is fun, challenging, but not too challenging. Overall, amazing professor
Probably my favorite professor so far. soooo awesome and hilarious. i love her so so so much!!!
Clearest, coolest, best prof.
Great teacher and equally great person. She is willing to help with anything academic even if it doesn't pertain to her class (big "plus" in my book). I could not care less about teaching pedagogy. At least, not before i took her class. She is entertaining and intelligent. Incredible, too, just for alliteration. P.S. Guess who, Dr. Donnelly.
Honestly the best teacher I have had at LMU and possibly ever. She cares so much about her students and wants to ensure you are successful in her class and in life. I had her at 8 AM and I can honestly say that I was excited to go to it each week. 100% recommend.
Take her class. She is the best professor I have ever had. She is super nice and an amazing professor. She now teaches ENG101 at Pepperdine University so if you're taking ENG101 you cannot go wrong with her class. Take her if you want a teacher who genuinely cares about each student and tries to help you with all your English needs. TRUST!
She is kind, caring, and funny. We do a lot of writing and little reading. Not a lot of work. No tests, just papers. Understanding. As long as you go to class and give it your best effort you will score well. 10/10 favorite professor
Prof Donnelly for the WIN! I recommend her to everyone.
10/10. I would take it again if I could. English 101 was the best course I have ever taken at Pepperdine! Her class is inspirational and interesting. Professor Donnelly is the best!
SHE IS AN ANGEL SENT FROM GOD. I hate English but she made me so excited to come to her class. Shes the most caring professor and truly understands that English isnt for everyone. She also looks like Cher. She wants to get to know everyone! TAKE HER you wont regret it
She is an AMAZING and CARING teacher hands down. She makes English really interesting and fun, even for those who don't have any concern for the English subject. It's not like any common English class you've taken at high school.
SHE A GODDESS. SHE IS THE BEST TEACHER I'VE HAD. LEARNED SO MUCH FROM HER. YOU NEED TO TAKE HER
She is the best. Take this class. Never had a better teacher! If you dont take her, you are making a mistake.
Professor Donnelly is one of the best English teachers I've ever had. Her class is super easy and an A is very easy to obtain if you do the class journals, writing assignments, and show up to class. She uses a very holistic grading practice and doesn't grade papers based on grammar or level of rigor. Short class journals are 90% of the work.
Best professor I have ever had. She gives great feedback to help you improve. She also does not take up the entire lecture if it is not needed. No curveballs in class. One of my favorite professors.
THE BEST PROFESSOR! She is super caring and makes sure to check in with her students. She really cares about the subject and about the well-being of her students. She is very accessible outside of the classroom and will work with you if you are struggling.
I miss this 101! The topics were all interesting and not just typical college essays. Donnelly made me look forward to every class.
Now teaches at Pepperdine University. Wonderful professor.
Professor Donnelly is easily my favorite prof at Pepp, so take her if you can!
