Fun class, the topics are a little boring, but the professor does what he can to make them fun. He likes to make fun of fifiliner and the little black boxes that contain the second officer. Great professor, highly recommend.

Comment:
All around good guy. He reads straight off his power points so it's nothing super exciting but you do learn some valuable stuff. Take notes and use the powerpoints and youll get an A. He is a very resonable guy just don't talk when he is or use your phone!! I would def. recommend him as a prof.!

Comment:
Professor Donahue is pretty funny, but the class itself is really boring. I found myself having a hard time staying awake because we would just look at powerpoints for 75 minutes (yawn) every class. Mr. Donahue would throw in a couple of good stories and jokes about Airbus, but other than that...Tests aren't bad, just study. Easy B or A.

Dispatching is a very dry FAR class. the material is very dry and boring but the tests are very easy. He tries and relate his own real world experiences. Great Teacher

Had him for 410 and 411. Funny guy. 411 (systems) is boring by nature, but he did his best to make it interesting. Very knowledgeable in 410. Really had a good way of making sure you learn the info. Had me very well prepared and I passed my dispatch practical exam with flying colors.

U have 2 study hard in anybody's class to get a good grade(Mr. Snow is an exception he's too easy haha). Cpt.Donahue is a cool prof. I really enjoy his classes especially his stories and SENSE OF HUMOR! I laughed my ass off when he was joking about some captain that ended up hanging from the cockpit. Makes learning about Boeing 747 systems more fun

Had him for AS 402 and AS 411. Old school guy, but entertaining. Knows his stuff and I agree with the other student who likes his phrases. "fifi liner" for airbus, "motion lotion" for fuel, hydrastics, etc. He's got some really funny stories and throws in a couple "hidden" jokes if you really pay attention. I'd take him again if I could.

This is my third round with Mr. Donahue. He is a very respectable professor and person. He does not always appear to be the most helpful person when it comes to assignments, but he will answer any question you have. He is easy to talk to in his office as well. He wants to see students succeed.

Comment:
Probably one of the most unhelpful teachers at Riddle when you have a problem or concern. If you are able to actually stay AWAKE during one of his classes, you must be good--one of the more boring teachers I have taken here. His tests are all trick questions. Only positive is his hatred of Airbus!

Donahue is in the elite group of AS professors. He has been around the industry and has a lot of great experience to pass on. His classes are entertaining due to his unique phraseology. FiFi liners, motion lotion, hydrastics, and such. Perfect professor for upper level courses. Highly recommend!

Seems like a nice professor; doesn't like texans too much! He makes it interesting and the subject matter is appealing. Review periodically before a test and an A is likely. Watch out for the fianl.

Capstone course for the dispatch program. This professor is disarming in terms of personality, but he forces you to work to earn your grade. Hardest parts of the course are the FARs and systems (B-737).
