Comment:

He constantly brings up the amputation of his right foot... guys if i'm right he will not shut up about loosing in a snow blower... of all the ways to loose your foot come on. But he tries to make it more dramatic by relating his foot loss (ha) in past historical wars. Other than that he's a good professor. Hope that helps!!!

Comment:

For Early and Imperial Russia in Spring 2010- The guy is clearly brilliant, but seriously old-school- photocopies, blackboards, tweed jackets, and everything. Some of his stories helped to make lectures interesting, and he is quite eloquent, but I often needed the reading during class to keep track. Even then, I felt discombobulated.

Comment:

His lectures are dry and there is almost no class involvement. He cares a lot about his class but is not helpful at all and grades quite subjectively. His papers show little to no comments on them. He does not communicate his expectations effectively.

Comment:

Absolutely awful. Thinks that a "B' is a great grade. Impossible to listen to when he speaks, as he never provides reference dates or reminds who he is talking about. DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS. You will regret it.

Comment:

Mulholland is a bit dull at times but overall is a very well-versed, knowledgable professor. The class is very interesting and is not too hard to do well in. I definitely learned more in this class than at most in Tufts. Although he encourages virtually no class discussion, he is great to go talk to during office hours.

Modern Russia class was boring. just him lecturing the whole time. Biased and not tolerant of opposing views, even if backed up. Avoid!

Comment:

Dull class... hard to pay attention to what he's saying because he speaks in a monotone. If you can listen, he tells some interesting stories. Also, it was hard to pay attention because there was absolutely no class participation, just him talking for the whole period.

Good professor, but don't take Historical Marxism. It is a waste of time, and the material could be taught in half a semester.

Really knows the material, but he takes some time getting used to. The lectures are punctuated with side notes and personal stories that keep it interesting. The work load and essay assignments are always reasonable and fair.

Definately one of the best teachers at Tufts. Don't be put off by his sometimes-rough manner. He is incredibly adept at making dry material interesting.

Beyond brilliant, this guy is a genius with an approachable manner, genuine interest in history and students, the best this school has had to offer in several generations. My dad warned me not to miss ANY of his courses. My dad's only good insight.

Amazing teacher with a vast array of knowledge on seemingly every topic. May appear dull and uninterested buy he is one of very few genuinely brillant professors at Tufts. Just by listening to him speak you will gain more than you ever imagined
