Dr. Mullen is an excellent professor. I would not have been able to start my thesis proposal without taking his class. He is always there for his students not only as a teacher, but as a mentor as well.

Comment:

Out of all my classes at LU I have probably learned the most in Dr. Mullen's class. His class was hard but not impossible and he really takes his job seriously. He is great at fostering in his students a desire to grow and learn and I could tell that he deeply cared for us. He is definitely one of my all time favorite professors!

Dr. Bill Mullen is responsible, competent, organized, patient, and kind. He is very thorough in answering our questions and is very punctuate for his class. His kind character allows us to ask him questions in and out of class. His testimony in his career and life and a great example for all of his students. It is my blessing to be his student!

Bill Mullen is one of the best professors I have ever had. He is kind, he cares about my life and my education, and he is Godly (which trickles down to me). I am blessed to know him.

Incredibly helpful and attentive to the needs of the students. Always responds to emails and messages and in a timely manner. Very knowledgeable of the material being covered and always prepared for class. Very encouraging professor. I enjoyed my time in his classes immensely. Sad that I will not be able to take more classes with him.

Comment:

I find it extremely ironic that Dr. Mullen is a communications teacher yet he did not communicate well to his class. I had a breakout session twice a week and only saw him once, and honestly I learned nothing in his classes. His tests are pretty hard, but you can still get a good grade in the class if you do well in your presentations.

Extremely hard tests! If you can opt of takign his class, go ahead, but I doubt you can since he is one of the only professors for Coms 101

Comment:

You only see him on Mondays. I didn't really get much out of him to be honest, but he does his job and can't complain a lot about him. Good guy, and you have to take Communications sometime as a student so you might as well take it with any teacher.

Comment:

If you want to take an actual Coms class, and not just 101, I highly recommend Dr. Mullen. He is a good lecturer (at least in smaller classes) and he is very flexible on the final project. He let us make a video, then gave us a totally unexpected A on it! He grades surprisingly easy and loves his students. Take him if you are a Coms major.

Comment:

Take him for Honors COMS 101...he grades fairly hard (especially on the first speech) and the online tests are pretty much impossible to get a decent grade on, but he provides extra credit opportunities, and is generally a good professor--at least in a small class setting.

Comment:

I don't exactly understand why a 101 class has to be that hard. Large group professor is stuck up on himself and not that great of a communicator. Speeches aren't hard but low grades are given for silly stuff.

Comment:

When I had him, he would teach on Mondays and then a GA would teach Wednesdays and Fridays. He seems like a pretty nice guy, but his lectures are boring and not very helpful. The tests are very hard! You need to know the textbook very well and be able to apply concepts to get a good grade on those tests!

Comment:

He likes to talk...a lot. Most of it doesn't make sense. He really likes bad jokes and terrible videos that he finds funny. They most often don't have relevance to class. If you get a good GA, you're in luck. He has a few cool ones.

Comment:

The only good thing about this class was my GA but sadly I can't rate him. Dr. Mullen finds the dumbest things funny and subjects you to watch stupid clips. The tests are insane! Studying for them will not help you.

Comment:

Pretty much this class is super boring. The quizzes and tests are ridiculous and it certainly doesn't help to have a crappy GA considering you only have the prof. on a Monday in a class of like 300. Would not recommend at all.
