Comment:

Professor Mulligan is a really cool guy that tries to connect with his students by being very genuine. Once you get the hang of assignments, it is easy to do well in his class. He is more than open to going over papers and assignments before they are due. the lectures are very unproductive. could skip every class and do fine grade wise.

Pros: Open professor (More than happy to talk on phone or email, discussions in class) - Flexible office hours - Open to working one on one on papers Cons: Lectures are boring and unstructured (seems to make it up on the spot) - Rarely discusses readings in depth - No idea how he grades (no rubric that makes sense) - Gives confusing advice

Comment:

Mulligan is a good professor and is really knowledgeable. He expects a lot out of your assignments though and you kind of have to agree with his opinion a little, guys really liberal. But you never have to read for class.

Comment:

this class was honestly the highlight of my yr. Very interesting in my opinion. Tough at first because he doesn't give writing prompts but instead makes you figure out what you need to write about. Meeting with him definitely turned my grades around. No tests except one in class essay (gives you the question ahead of time).Final paper is only 3pgs.

Comment:

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS WITH THIS PROFESSOR! One of the worst professors I have ever had. He goes on and on for long lectures and when you go in and meet with him he gives very little helpful instruction. He expects your writing assignments to match up to what he believes and marks down if it does not align. 1st time posting felt it was necessary.

You don't have to pay attention in class at all, all he does is rant. Only graded things are 750 word essays, you get about one a week and its not too tough.

Very difficult at first but is good at teaching how to think geographically. First papers are very hard to do well on but meet with him and your grade will go up for sure. Class consists of hour long rants that are hard to follow. But overall the class isnt terrible

Comment:

Easily one of the worst professors i've ever had. Nice guy but rambles through hour long lectures that leave you feeling very confused. He doesn't explain anything in depth, yet expects you to be an expert on the material. He doesn't give prompts for his papers and makes you guess what it is he wants included. class avg on 1st paper was 70.

Comment:

Vague teacher. Does not explain any concepts, and answers any of your questions with a question. Did well up until the final paper where out of the blue he decided to give me my lowest grade in the class, effectively tanking my grade. Don't recommend him the class is pretty pointless!

I love him! He doesn't just hand out A's, but he really wants his students to succeed. He takes an interest in getting to now his students personally, and has offered me assistance not just with work related to that course, but with outside work too. That's the epitome of a great professor!

Comment:

I love prof. Mulligan. Awesome guy. But he never took the time to thoroughly explain the abstract concepts in 211, yet expected each student to have a strong hold on them when writing papers. Love the professor, but wouldn't recommend this course.

Prof Mulligan is an awesome professor! At first it is difficult to figure out his grading methods for papers but I got an A for the class once I did that. He drops the paper with the lowest grade too.

Comment:

He's a really cool guy, but his lectures are random and unorganized at times. He tends to repeat himself a lot, but he lets you know what is on the tests. He's a hard grader on both tests and papers.

Comment:

He needs to give a grading rubric. Watch out first few papers YOU WILL DO BAD! His grading is very unclear. It took an entire semester in order for me to go from getting F's to getting A's. If you are new to his classes he grades your papers very hard, if your takin him for a second time, vice versa

Comment:

He is the most subjective grader. He classified me as a C paper and my friend as an A paper writer. For 2 papers we did, just to prove this point, I put my name on my friends and his name on mine, and I got a C and my friend an A. The name on the paper is what determined the grade, not the quality.

Has a lot to say and is very interesting. Loves Ireland, and is a very cool guy. There are lots of papers, but he prepares us very well and gives very helpful comments. His tests are challenging, but he gives lots of help.
