Awesome! The best professor Ive ever taken! Although the class was very difficult, the lectures were very helpful. Do the homework and study it well! If youre a hard worker, youll love the class as well.

Comment:

Dr. Sullivan's 421 class is one the harder courses I've taken in college, but she is fair. She is a hard teacher, and is lecture heavy, however if you demonstrate the desire to learn and care about your grade and the subject, she will help you. Her office hours are useful. Be aware though, read the syllabus to clarify exam dates, she wont say.

Comment:

You must be mentally checked in during class bc she goes around asking random people for the answer. She's not mean, but not exactly nice either. Sometimes if you ask questions she kinda makes you feel like an idiot for asking them. The only thing you really get graded on is 4 exams plus the final. She makes u buy the access code for online hw.

Comment:

Though Dr. Sullivan might not come off as warm and fuzzy she really is nice person. She's a good teacher with high expectations. Be prepared to show up to class mentally checked-in; she'll go around the rooming asking students to answer questions as she lectures. Keep up with the material or you'll very quickly get left behind. You'll learn a lot.

I am usually very good at mathematics, but she mad this class terrible for me. I took her for MAT 121 and succeed, so I figured I would take her for MAT 161, but it was a completely different turnout. She gives weekly homework, which is like nothing you do in class and the exams are very hard.

Comment:

The class is boring, but she explains everything very clearly. In fact, it was a little too much repetition for me. I took this as a gen ed, and it was pretty easy. Make sure you do the online homework and it will really help your grade. The textbook is only essential for the online code.

Incredibly vague during lectures. She would read us the theorem, give one example, and move on to the next theorem. Would avoid at all costs.

dr sullivan is pretty easy to pass if you go to class and understand the material. she writes a lot on the board -- not all of which is important. gives online homeworks every couple days so buying the online code is absolutely necessary. do the homeworks and decent on tests and its not tough at all

She is really smart but gives confusing notes. She gives you a study guide (pretest) before the test. It is exactly like the test, the numbers are just different and the tests are multiple choice. Her class is really easy but you will have teach yourself somethings.

She was pretty good as far as professors go. Her classes felt rushed sometimes, but there was a lot of material to cover in the class and she did her best to get everything while making sure students did well. Her tests were similar to the homework problems.

Decent professor. Pay attention in class and you'll do fine. There's not a lot of mandatory homework, just webwork. Test questions are straight from the textbook.

Comment:

Run far and fast from this professoor. Her clarity is terrible. She rushes through notes-- students cant grasp her concepts in class. its all a copy job. Her HW's have no relation to the notes and are impossible. Her tests also have little relation to her notes. She is rude and will belittle people whom ask questions. run.

Comment:

She is extremely boring while teaching but the class is pretty easy. She only takes attendance sometimes and always answers emails. Quiz basically once a week and she drops the lowest score. She has 3 exams and a final and always gives reviews before hand which are almost exactly the same as the test just with different numbers. Do the reviews!

Comment:

She will redo a problem 5 times bc she cant get it right and students have to constantly correct her. She will laugh at you if you ask a dumb quesiton. Your grade in the class is 3 tests and webwork, no quizzes. She is not personable and started learning our names half way thru the semester. Final was impossible; problems we never even saw before.

Comment:

all tests are like the webwork, so if you know the webwork problems then you'll be fine... Upper level math course so the material is hard. Sullivan writes all notes out on the board and she goes quickly. If you do have questions regarding algebraic concepts, she does make you feel stupid for asking.

Comment:

I thought Dr Sullivan was great. If you go to class, pay attention, and participate, she is more than willing to help. It doesn't take that much effort to succeed in this class. Do all the assignments and read the book after her lectures and it is a breeze. I ended up with a 99% average.
