Comment:

Dr. Sullivan is by far the best professor I've had in MUN. He is always available for questions and can always explain in an understanding way. Notes are not posted anywhere so you need to attend class in order to pass. Would take these classes again just to have Dr. Sullivan again. Also had him for MATH 1000

Comment:

He is the best professor in the Math department according to my opinion. He has amazing notes but he only gives them out during lectures. The lectures are very informative and interesting, he makes you want to take Math as a major. He also explains all the concept from a very basic and understanding point of view. I would take him for every course.

Comment:

Not understanding. He will not change your grade even if its a small amount. He wasnt very friendly during office hours, was a tough grader, often talked about random topics during lectures and didnt give you time to practice during lectures. Went way too fast. Everyone was confused, many dropped the course. Hes very smart but I dont recommend

Comment:

Amazing professor! Would highly recommend taking him for any course. He is great at explaining new concepts to students. Also, he spends loads of time on the important concepts and just brushes over the non-important concepts, so you are well prepared for the final. As with any Math course, attendance and practice are necessary to succeed!

Comment:

Professor Sullivan explains concepts so well, you probably wont need to study. He does a tonne of examples and answers a lot of questions well. A draw back is that he doesn't post notes to D2L so attendance is a must. - 2 Mid Terms - Final - 8 Assignments -

Super nice and cares about his students ! His notes are good! However, he's more into the proofs more so then examples. And he doesn't post them, so go to class! The text book is great too, he follows his notes from it.

Dr Sullivan is an incredible Prof who gives excellent explanations, provides descriptive notes, and works through useful examples. Not only is Dr Sullivan excellent at teaching the course material, he also cares about his students and how well they are understanding the material. I would not hesitate to take another of his courses in the future.

Absolutely incredible prof. Math 1001 was a very difficult course, but Dr. Sullivan made it much more easy to work through. I would highly recommend taking his courses, and I definitely will be if I need to in the future.

Bit of an odd guy, but great prof. Tries to do his best to make class interesting. Gives helpful examples, and assignments are a fair indicator of the test. Post helpful video tutorials for a practice final exam towards the end of the year. Very approachable outside of class. Attendance is not mandatory, but is very helpful.

Sullivan is one of the better math profs at MUN. He cares about his students and will usually teach things in a way that will clear up confusion around certain topics. Be warned though, his weekly assignments can be quite long and beware the webassigns. Very friendly and very approachable. Would recommend.

Dr. Sullivan is a great prof who shows genuine concern and care for his students. This course involved three written papers and he gives you plenty of feedback on the to ensure that you so better and better as the course progresses. I would take a million more math courses if he was to teach them.

Dr. Sullivan's lectures are seamless and his notes are great for they include fundamental examples and challenging examples. Would certainly recommend getting the webassign and assignments done ahead of time. Also, his online worksheets are very helpful.

Dr. Sullivan is an amazing prof. Very clear in lectures and explains things thoroughly. Very good prof for your first calculus class. Weekly assignments as well as online assignments, but they help your understanding. Tests are not overly hard, as long as you do examples you'll be fine. Also has past tests and solutions on his website for practice!

Comment:

His notes consist of explanations and not many examples. I also found his lectures just went right over my head because he is obviously a very smart man and I think he expected us to understand his level of intellect. His assignments and tests are short but assignments are hard he is a hard grader, and goes till the very last second of class.

Honestly the best Prof I've EVER had. Very nice, his notes are beyond amazing, he is very clear about the material he covers, and he has his own website filled with practice questions, review notes, and detailed answers to past assignments. His assignments/tests can be challenging, but the notes, website, and office hours should help plenty. 10/5
