Let p be a prime, $q=p^n$, and $D \subset \mathbb {F}_q^*$. A celebrated result of McConnel states that if D is a proper subgroup of $\mathbb {F}_q^*$, and $f:\mathbb {F}_q \to \mathbb {F}_q$ is a function such that $(f(x)-f(y))/(x-y) \in D$ whenever $x \neq y$, then $f(x)$ necessarily has the form $ax^{p^j}+b$. In this notes, we give a sufficient condition on D to obtain the same conclusion on f. In particular, we show that McConnel’s theorem extends if D has small doubling.
