Worst professor I had to deal with during the pandemic. Confusing directions with little to no interaction with the students. Im sure hes a perfectly fine teacher in person, but god forbid we end up in this situation again, avoid him at all costs.

Prof was very accomodating when things came up in my personal life. Learned a lot in this class. Prof is a hard grader but clearly is because he wants you to improve. Personally, my feedback was good. He would give me resources that could potentially help me get a better grade on my next paper.

This class has 2 papers and 2 exams. You need to learn the concepts to pass the exams. Take your time and research your paper topics. He is a tough but fair grader. He honestly made me a better writer and I'm happy I took his class.

Can't believe I am paying money to take this class. We are not being TAUGHT anything at all. Each week read a chapter about complex ideas and then are supposed to write insightful discussions about them. But, he doesn't give any lectures or class time, so we don't learn about it. We don't know what we are scored out of, and we get NO feedback.

Literally my fav prof at GV, as this is the 3rd time I've taken one of his classes. Very tough grader but genuinely has made me a better writer. Reasonable workload, great discussion, and super interesting literature in every course I've taken with him. Super nice guy too

No lecture unless you can squeeze in an 8pm zoom call once a week on the reading. Journals were easy, but he was nit picky on the actual essays. You basically teach yourself. He takes FOREVER to grade and feedback is subpar.

Dr. Bullock is one of the best professors I've ever had. He left detailed feedback on each assignment including on the papers themselves, in the comment box in the grade book, and he recorded voice feedback, too. He was incredibly helpful in guiding my thesis paper, and I wish I had the ability to take every single class he teaches.

10/10 would recommend Professor Bullock. He takes the time to leave a lot of feedback and really cares about his students! I took Literature of War with him and it was a really interesting class. He even makes voice memos and submits them as feedback on papers, which is really nice especially for an online class. I plan to take more of his classes!

The textbook is easily found online in PDF form! It isn't too important, but helps grasp concepts better and it's a good read. Professor Bullock explains the concepts very well too. His class is very rarely boring. There are 2 essays and 2 tests, none of which are very hard. I definitely recommend any class with this professor!!

Honestly, take any class that Dr. Bullock teaches. I've taken 3 classes with him and I wish I could take more. His classes are discussion-based, so it's always worth going to class. He's a super fair grader and gives you a TON of feedback on assignments so it's impossible not to do well. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Professor Bullock is absolutely amazing. This is my second class in a row with him, and I have already signed up for my third consecutive class. Bullock is one of the main reasons my writing has grown so much. His feedback is amazing and he truly cares about his students. Everyone in the english department should take a class with Bullock!

Professor Bullock is an amazing prof. He really works with students until they understand exactly what to write about and also works with due dates. He is super funny and has a great personality. But if you dont read the books, you will not do well at all.

My favorite prof I've EVER had. I am taking my 3rd class w/ him next semester and ONLY want him for my English capstone. He cares IMMENSELY about you succeeding in school AND life. I go to him instead of my actual advisor b/c I trust how much he wants to help! He has helped me grow as a student and a person. One of the best people I've ever met!

He allows for open discussion in class, which is really a requirement for a good English prof, and openly admits when he doesn't know something, which is required for a great one. He'll research answers, consider students' viewpoints, and encourage creativity. I highly recommend this class, but be prepared to think on your feet. Tough but fair.

You're only graded on two papers and two exams- SO BE CAREFUL! For the exams you better be good at memorizing concepts, but if you can do that, this class should be a breeze. Kurt is a really funny guy and knows how to make class fun while still being serious about the topics. Overall, a really great dude and I hope I can take more classes with him

He's a great professor. Very loud and energetic also kind of blunt, cares about his students and making sure you understand the concepts. He also gives life lessons Tests are pretty basic but you will have to apply the concepts he teaches. Notecards are a great tool for this class, if you have them you will pass. Great professor, would take again.
