Reviews of professor Noel Dolan

She's tough but worth it.

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
She gives about 4 big essays a semester plus some sort of group project. She really values discussion and participation so make sure you get a word in in class. One great thing is that you can talk to her for advice to improve your essays and writings. Also, no excuses to get a bad grade for essays because she has you submit an outline first.

She is so nice and respectful of her students. I had her for Art and Culture Communitas and she did a great job incorporating that into Ancients and Moderns. The readings are reasonable lengths, and you do have to write a good amount but she is a very fair grader. Very passionate and engaging!

homework is reading (usually not long at all); just understand it and you're fine. put some (not best) effort into papers and projects and ended with an A/A-. really great professor

One of my favorite professors at Villanova! The lectures and class discussions were amazing. She helped me improve my writing and provided clear feedback on the outlines before each paper was due. Dolan has deadlines for all stages of the papers - starting with an outline, a rough draft, and then the final draft. Wish she also taught ENG1050.

I would get ready to participate in class! It matters for your grade! If you do that, she will love you! There are 3-4 papers throughout the year and she is very clear on instructions and paces you out with thesis plans and drafts so you cannot procrastinate. She is very kind too! I would recommend.

Dr. Dolan is a super nice professor and really good at keeping the class engaged. She's not too hard of a grader, and although the readings are boring, they aren't super long. There is a lot of writing, but as long as you put a little effort into it you should be fine. I would definitely recommend taking a class with Dr. Dolan at some point!
