Comment:

Best professor/class at Duke. Got very average grade because I didn't put in much effort, but still learned more than in any other course just by going to class. Lots of real-world info gained. He's helpful and welcomes objections, but will challenge them on logical grounds. Really makes you think about how you form your ideology. Awesome!

Comment:

I loved professor Hall. I can see why people find him a little arrogant, but he teaches you life lessons and things you need to know in the business world, and he really cares about his students. the TA graded everything in our class, and she was a pretty easy grader too

Comment:

Gary Hull is an amazing professor, easily the best Professor I had at Duke and definitely the hardest. It is difficult to do well in this class but the people who are complaining should meet with Professor Hull. I took two of his classes, I got a B in the first one and an A in the other one. Once you figure out the style, you will do great.

Comment:

Hull uses an objective standard for grading that doesn't bend for anyone's particular situation, e.g., he doesn't care if you couldn't find a parking spot and you were late in handing in your paper. He is a tough grader, but provides examples of A work. He will penalize you for not writing logically, which few students do at the start of his course

Comment:

Dr. Hull presents a viewpoint that is largely unpopular with liberal academia, but arms students with knowledge that is invaluable in working/white collar America. Kudos for telling the truth. c/o '04.

Comment:

Hull is arrogant and disrespectful to his students. His grading can devastate your GPA regardless of your effort or dedication. His teaching is incoherent and Duke's putting him in charge of a Focus cluster is a mystery since his style and mannerism is the antithesis of that touted by Duke for the Focus progam. Easily, my worst experience at Duke.

Class can be interesting at times. The paper topics do not measure anything. The grading is very arbitrary and the average grade seemed to be a B- in a class of hardworking students

Comment:

Hull should be avoided if at all possible. The workload in his class is pretty low and there is absolutely no point in doing his assigned readings, but it will seem like your final grade was pulled just blindly out of a hat.

Comment:

Dr. Hull is honestly not that bad. Yes, he is opinionated and presents you with mainly biased information. However, as long as you're respectful and put effort into your writing, it is possible to do well in his class. I enjoyed the class and feel like I learned a lot of information. Dr. Hull is also really nice once you get to know him.

Comment:

NEVER take his class, unless you are a great fan of Ayn Rand and objectivism. If not, it would be unbearable. I'm not even joking. He is seriously opinionated and narrow-minded, and conveys class material in a very unpleasant way. He made my freshmen year so miserable.

This teacher is dogmatic in his belief in the teachings of Ayn Rand. He is arrogant and refuses to teach opposing points of view. In addition his grading is entirely arbitrary.

This teacher is unbelievably dogmatic in his belief in objectivism. His grade is dependent on your willingness to preach his **** back to him.

Gary Hull is SUCH a good professor. I loved taking this class and so did practically everyone I took it with. Be sure to do the readings but they aren't even difficult, they are actually very interesting. This has been my favorite class at Duke.

Comment:

Hmm. I really enjoyed his class. Honestly. But I have to admit I was confused at times but I feel that I regurgitated enough of what he said. HOWEVER he is the type of teacher that will give only so many of a certain grade. For example so many in the class get A's and B's etc...And I was part of the etc. Not cool.

This class. This professor. It masks rigid dogma under the veil of individuality. This class warps the very value it presupposes to support;it is degrading to a student, and will treat you like a mindless monkey. Be prepared to regurgitate the info in order to receive a high grade. Please, don't do this. Drop this class; you are worth it.

glad i dropped out of his class. His MMS class was complete waste of time. he wants his answers and his only. Treats students like they're 10 year olds.His stupid jokes are not funny and it wasn't a matter of grades that I dropped it but a matter of my patience running out while listening to him.

Comment:

Hull holds views that are incredibly unpopular in today's world and academia. When people are claiming that hes biased, they mean they were reacting to his unpopular views and were frustrated because 1)most people cannot defend their own views logically, and 2)because hull can do it like no other. arrogant and difficult yes. but valuable knowledge
