Reviews of professor Julie Donnelly

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Don't take this professor! Information isn't clearly detailed when studying for exams and many times there is information not thoroughly (or not at all) taught on the exams. The reverse teaching is horrible and requires you to teach yourself and waste time on something that could overwise be done in lecture.

This prof is simply amazing. She really cares for the class and will help you if you ask. She teaches well and her lectures/assignments really prepare you for the exams. She does a flipped classroom but when it comes to any chem class, it's smart to do it that way. Do the hw, in-class work, and quizzes, they are usually on her exams.

Dr. Donnelly is a very sweet lady. IMO her class was way more difficult than it needed to be. The flip style classroom was not for me. I feel as though that chemistry is too complex of a subject to be teaching yourself. Her exams were very difficult. I spent hours studying for them and still averaged a 65. She did give out extra credit which helped

Get ready to read A-lot of people mentioning you must go to SI and SARC obviously not everyone has time for that especially if you work. Prof gives extra credit but the exams are difficult and she provides videos that are short and only cover a certain amount of material. Make sure you read the textbook.

She's a kind professor, but her class is just awful. She over complicates the subject and her exam questions don't really match what she suggests to study through the back of the textbook question problems or even her lecture videos. Her class is extremely test heavy with only 20 questions to a test, making it extremely hard to do well or pass.

Dr. Donnelly is a very caring professor. The textbook is not helpful. The SARC sessions helped me a lot. The tests are hard, having only 20 questions. Go to the SARC sessions and watch her recorded lectures. Test 3 is the hardest. A lot of extra credit, a 5 percent bump on every exam. Extra credit is offered during the days with no RATS.

The class itself is pretty difficult. Definitely reading the textbook and paying attention in class is important because a lot of the test questions are conceptual. Overall I think Dr. Donnelly was a good professor who is really passionate about what she teaches and wants her students to do well. I got a C but it was my fault for procrastinating.

Really caring professor. Does a lot of team-based learning. You will have to read the textbook as that's where most of the test questions come from, but she allows a cheat sheet on quizzes and you get to work with a group. Gives extra credit throughout the semester. Just show up to class prepared and you'll be fine.
