Dr. Mullens is one of the greatest professors I have had while at Keene State. Her immense passion for her discipline and her vast well of knowledge make her class both informative and engaging. She sets forth clear expectations for her course and if you abide by them, you will do well. She uses slideshows for lectures; take notes! Loved her class!

Comment:

Very egotistical! Rude, only thinks of herself. Went to her for help, and told me to grow up, mature, and asked how I got into college! Had me in tears. Explained not everyone tests well. Gave to me verbally, got an A. Written... got a C-. Would NEVER suggest a course by her. Thinks sincemail she came from the west coast, she knows all. NOT.

She is a fantastic teach who really knows her stuff. She is very approachable and her door is always open. Does not make her PowerPoints available for all classes, so make sure you take notes.

Professor Mullens is an incredibly helpful, insightful, and engaging instructor. She is passionate about what she teaches, and that shows in the clarity of her lectures and discussions. Textbooks are interesting and relevant. Exams are a snap if you come to class and pay attention, because she emphasizes all the key points during class time.

She related to the students, let us out early almost every class. The exams were difficult. She gave extra credit at the end of the course. (and can't say Australia correctly) :]

She's a fun professor, but she makes no attempt at getting to know her students. I was in a class of 20 students and I don't think she knew anyone's name.

This woman gets nominated for teacher of the year?? Ridiculous! Mullens is egotistical and could care less about her students. People always get sucked into thinking people with certain accents are smarter than they actually are--avoid this condescending woman at all costs!!!

Prof Mullens was interesting and passionate about her field. I found her to be not the usual text book verbatim prof. Stimulated you to think not just to be spoon fed like some teachers. this works for me.

Not a bad teacher, but she has to get over her water fetish. She already teaches a class on water resource geography, she shouldn't incorporate it into other courses.

I took her a few semesters back....I needed help in the class. I went to her for help and she told me to read my book. If I wasn't already doing that I wouldn't be asking for help. She is useless and not a good teacher. NOT HELPFUL at all.
