Daniel is a teacher that is passionate and knows his stuff. He has alternative methods of teaching which is refreshing and interesting. I learned a lot and have a new found love for Urbanization. The project is a lot of work but you can keep up by doing the work along the way.

Comment:
Prof. Sullivan obviously knows his subject and enjoys it however he is not particularly helpful and when questioned for clarity at break or outside class he more often than not referred students to his TA even when questioned in person. This felt very much like a brush off after the 5th or 6th time. This class is fine if you don't require any stude

Sullivan is a great teacher. He genuinely cares about student success and learning, and even though this whole class is a group project, he does everything he can to ease the pain. He could have been a bit clearer on assignment guidelines, but he's the best person to take for this class.

I think that he is an amazing teacher. DON'T UNDERESTIMATE THE EXAMS! in lecture he does dumb things down and lectures can be somewhat dull but look at the material that he has to teach us. The thing about the text book is you can either go to class and or read the book. I didn't miss that much class and never read the book and got a B.

I am thankful I took research methodology with Professor Sullivan. He is crystal clear and can be a little too explicit but that's something that can be overlooked. He's a good professor and cares about the success of his students.

sullivan is a great instructor. his strategy is basically hand holding which can get annoyig some times as he explains the simplest things like why you break into groups, but this approach is much appreciated when it comes to the course material. he brings the info down to the students level and does not pressume that you know the information. it i

Comment:
Six years after taking Urbanization & both Methods classes with Dr. Sullivan, those classes remain the standard against which I judge all other courses. None come close. I'll reserve judgement on those who have made negative comments here; there's a strong possibility that they sustained blunt force trauma to the head before recording their views

Sullivan is very good at what he does. Teaching methods to sociology students at PSU is not an easy task, but he manages to make it informative, interesting and even fun!! He is also probably the sweetest guy I have ever meet.

Dr. Sullivan is great. He's very straight forward and cares a lot about he's doing. He's, also, a great resource for research tips and grad school advice.

wow, I can't believe we are all commenting on the same proffesor.This man manages to suck all of the life out of what could be an interesting subject. His lame attempts at humor are trite and annoying, not to mention his constant use of the words "mmmk" after every sentance, and mention of his alma mater, the "university of Wisconsin, Madison". He

Comment:
I really had very little interest in this course before taking it. But Prof. Sullivan was able to make a usually dry subject like methodology both interesting and applicable. Prof. Sullivan strikes me as an extremely kind and knowledgable person and I would recomend to any soc major that has to take this course to do so from Sullivan, HE ROCKs!

Dr. Sullivan was my favorite professor at PSU. He actually made social methods fun and exciting-if you can believe that:) He is cute too (UPS). A great teacher! I am still upset that I only got a B+ on the final 398 project.

The material in this class is unlike any other course within the department. It's not exceptionally exciting, but Dr. Sullivan does a terrific job at keeping students' interest with a very good sense of humor, real-world examples of how the material applies to us, and is EXTREMELY patient. The best!
