Comment:

He really knows what he's talking about and gives you all the resources needed to do well. It's a heavy, unpleasant course and he tends to drone on, but he gives examples that are almost the exact same as his tests and he gives the solutions to assignments while you're doing them. He grades fairly. It's easy to do well with him, just be attentive.

Comment:

I see a lot of reviews here saying David is intelligent, but not a great professor and I can somewhat understand where they're coming from. However, he's really not all that bad, and the course material isn't particularly hard. You may have to teach yourself some of the content, but David isn't a hard tester or grader by any means.

Comment:

A nice man and obviously knows the material well, however he has a tendency to just read from the textbook. I didn't gain anything from the lectures so I stopped going and still got an A in the course by reading it myself. As long as you're someone who can teach themselves you'll be fine. Not the best. Not the worst.

Comment:

The course is basic math and really isn't that hard, however he makes it seem harder than it should be. Skims over important concepts and focuses on the opposite (how to do addition in excel). Never thought I'd hear "you're going to have to teach this to yourself" so much from a prof. Rude to students. AVOID if at all possible.

Comment:

This guy is clearly intelligent, yet entirely ruthless. Has no care if you understand it, and even if he did, he wouldn't be able to explain it to you. Skip the class, don't read his text. Get a tutor, and tell me where he lives so I can slash his tires.

Comment:

Tulett made this course not enjoyable in any way. The material isn't easy, and I found I was spending most of my time teaching it to myself, and learning more from my tutor. Not someone I enjoyed as a professor.

Comment:

I heard a lot of negative comments about this prof and the BUSI 2400 course, but I had no problem with him. The course was difficult and the assignments required a lot of time to complete but he made doing it much less painful. The questions and solutions are posted online along with his textbook and past tests. One of the best profs I had at MUN.

Not a particularly difficult course, Tullett just has a hard time explaining what is important to pass. I'm sure he's great in this subject but he was not meant to teach.. AVOID

He wrote the book and knows the information too well, he will skip major parts assuming everyone understands to his level. Need to know excel going into the course or else it will be even harder. Doesn't care if you pass or fail. ADVOID!!

Very nice, respected and knowledgeable professor. He was very clear on what is expected and what is not. I really enjoyed the course.

Comment:

I took this course as an elective and i got a 97 even though it's suppose to be "hard". Dr. Tulett posts lots of old exams/finals and gives you a free 15% if u simply attempt the assignment (the other profs actually grade the assignments). His teaches a little fast but his textbook that he wrote is great. He also reuses questions WORD FOR WORD.

Comment:

Tulett is a horrible prof. He doesn't even teach the course material. He spends an excessive amount of time doing the excel part of the questions which we barely get tested on. He's also very rude. I emailed him asking for a 1% grade increase and he sent back a very nasty email saying my exam was poorly written and I deserved a C in the course.

Comment:

Dr. Tulett is a nice and very intelligent man but he is not a very good teacher. If you take the course, avoid him if you have trouble learning by reading. The material is not meant to be hard, but since Dr. Tulett has been doing it for so long, he often skips over the mathematical calculations as if it is second nature to us like it is to him.

Comment:

Business 2400 is a difficult course, Tuelett was pretty good for the semester I had him. He posts enough old tests and finals to know what to expect on the exams. I found doing the end of the chapter questions and old tests good practice, do those and you can pass the course.

Comment:

Tulett is a brilliant man, which is great except he is very hard to learn from, I found that he overlooked a lot of concepts. The course is challenging anyways, I got a 46 on the first midterm and was told it was "okay" because I was still higher than the class avg., I ended up dropping the course and retaking it the following term with a dif prof

Comment:

There were no attendance marks so it was better to skip class and memorize how to do the problems on your own. He gives a lot of old tests that are the exact same format as the midterms and exam so it's an easy A if you practice those. His textbook is free online but not much help (other than for assignments).

Comment:

If you have to take 2400 make sure its with anyone but Tulett. His teaching style is horrible all he does is read from his very boring and confusing etextbook that he wrote. Going to class is a waste of time. The tests are usually okay because he gives you multiple practice ones. If you have to take him i would recommend getting a tutor right away.

Honestly this course is a breeze, just look at the old exams he gives you at least 7. Do the problems and you can get an EASY 100. Legit if you can memorize you can pass no trouble.

Not meant to be that hard of a course. Uses his own text book which is really confusing. Tries his best but lectures are all over the place and confusing.

Comment:

He is the worst professor I have ever had at MUN. He spends most of each class standing up and mumbling sentences and phrases about the material he is suppose to be teaching us. His exams are hard and he likes to put tricky questions on them. I don't understand how he is still allowed to teach. Horrible. Horrible. STAY AWAY!
