Reviews of professor Tom O'Donnell

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Awesome professor, this was my favorite class. If you can get him as your teacher definitely try and make the time in your schedule. Really inspiring discussions and only required to write 4 responses over the semester in addition to two essays. Super easy and comfortable environment.  Don't waste money on the book, barely use it.

I had Tom for WRII. Don't take this class if you want a challenge because he won't give it to you. Class consists of handing you a packet and asking you to write a short response to one of the articles, then each week discussing already controversial issues for the entire class period. Was disappointed, but at least it's an easy pass.

One of the best teachers I've ever had. The first comment posted for him says exactly how the classes are. Every class is just talking. There are 3 papers of 1000 words each, the final paper 1200 words, and then 4 responses to articles 600 words each. The articles are entertaining and the class is great. Very easy and fun, highly recommend him!

The everyday discussions in his class made writing so much easier. Nothing was ever taboo in that class and nothing could ever be too far from the topic. There weren't that many assignments, so you had to make all of your writing count. The work load never felt overbearing

Skipper is awesome and so was this class! I felt like I learned so much in so little time. Only assignments are four responses to current events and three long-form essays. Super moderate courseload. He gives great feedback too!

Such a fun amazing class. You talk about issues that matter and he doesn't mind getting into some heavy topics during discussions. You also don't really realize what he is teaching you, until a little ways in because the class is basically just writing essays and discussing them in class. You will write a lot, but it isn't hard to do well in class.
