Can't use computers during class, very hard grader on papers. Lectures teach you nothing so you'll learn the final material on your own

Comment:
Took my Inq Seminar and a few history classes with him. Also I see him on campus quite a bit. Real inviting, nice guy that loves his research. Class is usually a discussion of perspectives on history, as would be expected. Lots of reading. In general he's not too exciting, but if you like American history he's your guy.

Comment:
He makes you work ridiculously hard for an A, and all of the comments he writes are 100% illegible. I went to his office hours and he could not even read the comments he wrote on my paper. He also gave me a B on a paper because he thought I used an incomplete sentence and then he realized I didn't but didn't change my grade. He's a nice enough guy

Comment:
I took my inquiry seminar with Professor Bullock. If you want an A, there are better options out there but it's not impossible to get an A from him. He is a very nice guy but a harsh grader who expects a lot out of the revisions if you want an A. His lectures are borningist things on earth and he has a no screen policy so the class time is a grind.

Comment:
There is not much homework, but there are a few short papers. You do need to put effort into papers in order to get high marks. I found his lectures to be fairly boring, but informative. He does send out a "what to know" list before the exam, which is very helpful. This class is not an easy A per say, but it would take work to fail.

Not many assignments and attendance in mandatory. Also is a very hard grader. Sometimes he sings and class is entertaining but most times its just lectures. If your going to take the class know what your getting yourself into.

I did not enjoy his class at all. The lectures are extremely boring and vague. He doesn't give many assignments but when he does, he grades them toughly. So if you do take this class, I recommend putting lots of detail into your papers. Also the mid term and final are 50 min and difficult and out of 54 people, 2 got an A on the midterm. Good luck!

Took my Inq. Seminar with Professor Bullock. This guy is super helpful and becasue of him I really enjoyed working on my seminar. His comments are really helpful, and I enjoyed this class more than most other history classes I took, despite not really having much interest in Washington and the Cherry Tree (at the beginning of the class).

Bullock is a really good guy. I like him a lot and he tries to keep the class as interesting as possible. Although it can get boring at times (2 hrs), he is very entertaining and fair. He gives out a fair amount of homework and is a fair grader. He is pretty cool and he's sung to us in class and acted out scenes from history. Take his classes

Take a course with this guy. He's very fair with the amount of work he hands out (maybe five written assignments all term). He only gives a mid-term and final which are hard because their long. Overall an awsome teacher and I would definitely recommend him.

Good teacher all around, very fair with the amount of work assigned. Graded pretty fairly, though his handwriting is on par with a seismograph so don't expect criticism without asking in person. Tests were hard but fair, prepare for the essays because you don't have much time to write them!

Starts every class with an "Alllllllriiiight." Funny and engaging guy. Very considerate and helpful. I passed a paper in a day late and there were no points taken off because I told him it was going to be late. Show up to class though, he take attendance every class, besides, he might just play his guitar and sing slave spirituals for you!

Very interesting teacher, but can ramble on for all of class. He says, "Yeah....yeah...I see....Yes....I see...." a lot when you mention something to him. I only had to write four papers throughout the entire term with a mid and final, easy workload, interesting, an excellent teacher!

Be prepared to read 100-200 pages per week. Discussions are the norm and he is a very critical grader. But he is hands down one of the best humanities professors at WPI.

He's a great guy. The workload isn't high and he does a great job of explaining things in lecture. He gives us plenty of oportunity to ask questions and offer opinions. There are only 2 (essay) tests and it's hard to get an A on them but easy to get a B.
