Comment:
Very dry sense of humor, smart as a whip, kind of boring lectures. Wish he informed us of our major project grades before the next assignment was due. LOTS OF READING with quizzes to ensure it was done. Very reasonable, will give you feedback if asked in time. I had to work hard, but not too hard, for a B+. Put in the work!

Comment:
Strict grader but leaves room for leniency. If you get an answer wrong but the process right, then he'll give points. Can be boring at times, but has his funny moments. Lots of in class examples are unnecessary I find for tests. No quizzes. You can tell he's very intelligent & knows what he's doing. Helpful if you need it & forgiving in late work.

Comment:
he's super interesting and nice in class, but assigns a ridiculous amount of reading and then never explains it. he gives quizzes on one sentence in 60 pages of reading, he is not accessible at all by email, and he does not grade promptly. the class is difficult already and his teaching process makes it more difficult than it has to be

I guess he has changed. His tests are very difficult and you don't know what to expect. The practice tests are useless. He's nice but he must have changed how he tests.

Comment:
I took Dr. Rulison for 2 summer semesters of physics and loved him. He was a great professor and very fair. While it could be boring at times, he did his best to keep a 2.5 hour lecture interesting. His tests weren't too hard if you attended class and he always gives bonus questions. Definitely recommend!! He knows what he's talking about.

Comment:
Dr. Rulison is one of the most helpful professors at Oglethorpe. He knows what he is talking about. If you have a question and ask him, he will help you immediately. During labs he explains everything step by step. He also gives an outline on how to write the lab report. Take Rulison for lab no matter what it takes. Take him or you will regret it.

He was great. I was dreading this class and he made it as much fun as possible. He bent over backwards to help his students. He made the tests very fair and his grading policy was more than fair. He has a fun, laid back personality, too.

Comment:
His classes are sometimes boring and you have to keep up with the reading or else you will fail the quizzes, which are a big part of the grade. Tests are from class notes and previous quizzes. He allows an extra credit project, something as easy as tracking the moon phases...I ended up with an A because of this.

Fun, personable, engaging. Makes the material easy to access for humanities students and science students alike. Very reasonable grading policy, always there for extra help. Take him for Core 401 or for your math requirements and you'll be pleased.

Rulison really, really knows his physics and explains them in a clear and interesting way. He's happy to meet after class to field questions or just to discuss the physics of sci-fi.
