Comment:
Donovan is a pretty easy prof. Very few assignments. It's not always clear when assignments are due or what is expected, but if you just ask he'll let you know. He also helps a lot with papers if you ask. Definitely the prof to take if you want an A

Comment:
He is a super nice guy, but his class has no structure whatsoever. Our class got so behind all of the other classes and we never even looked at the fourth essay in class, we had to do it all on our own. No clear guidelines were ever given on the papers.

Comment:
Professor Donovan was a nice guy but his instructions were not very clear. Many of the students didn't understand what to write until after they saw a writing consultant. If you don't feel you are a strong writer take a different professor.

Very chill but does not give much instruction at all. I would not recommend him unless you can write well on your own.

I would not take this professor if you do not know anything about writing. He is not clear at will with his directions that he is giving. The comments he gives you on papers that you hand in to him are useless because you can't read his writing whatsoever.

Professor Donovan is an really cool guy. He helped me a lot with my essays and gave good ideas and critiques. I thought he was hilarious. He also lets you out early. I recommend him definately.

He is a funny and very very down to Earth guy. He really lets you move at your own pace and he gives great feedback on your writing. I've always hated writing but he made me like this class. Plus, we always got out of class super early

Comment:
Most pointless class ever and I'm pretty sure Prof Donovan believes it too. The topics he gives you are hard to write on and this should be an online class. He never tells you what he wants and is very unclear on what the assignment is.

Extremely easy prof. I'm terrible at writing and yet it was the only class I got an A in. He has small writing assignments throughout the class but they don't need to be done and don't count for your grade at all. With the papers, he is VERY unclear about what he wants you to do so you just write whatever and if it sounds decent at the end,you pass

Not a good professor. He rarely shows up to class and when he does, nothing gets accpomplished. It is impossible to know what he wants from his students. Bad Professor!

This guy has no clue what he wants in his class! I mean it is a very easy class, dont get me wrong, but if you actually want to learn somthing, dont take his class. If you are looking for an easy A go for it!! It wont help you in wrt150 thats for sure!!

WOW, this guy is very useless. You never know when due dates are and you never really know what he wants from each paper. He grades pretty hard, of course, because you never know what he's looking for. Although i feel bad for the poor guy, he tries to makes jokes.. and no one laughs.. lol

he seriously like never would show up for class like once a week and he wouldnt even tell us when class was canceled. no one understood the assignments so basically it was writing three papers on your own. he is not a good teacher at all. if you arent a good writer to begin with you will not do good in this class with him!!

This was the easiest class I have ever taken. He is a great, laid back guy. If you like structure, then you won't like this class.

Class was really easy, half of them were cancelled and the other half were less then an hour long. Just write the papers and turn them in, dosn't even matter if they are late, and you will get an A.

What an amazing English Professor...His subtle irony is so cool. I look foreward to the day Brad Donovan publishes a great American novel. He has a wealth of funny, crazy, stories and events to speak of, carry on Prof. Brad Donovan.
