Comment:
Sullivan is old school and his assignments are sometimes difficult to grasp, but if you put in an honest effort you will be fine. He has a good sense of humor as well. Definitely not as bad as people make him out to be.

Comment:
It's a terrible thing when a professor makes you question your sanity as well as your passion for your major. I sympathize with the man because I can see that he wants to help, but he does nothing to improve himself and often leaves you in the dark when it comes to tough assignments that take up so much of your overall grade. Need a C+ to pass.

Comment:
Hardest worst professor I've ever had. Would not ever recommend taking a course with him. Honestly some of the most confusing assignments I've ever had. The only good things about him were the vocabulary quizzes were usually easy which is 20% of your grade. He also didn't require us to buy the textbook which was good.

Comment:
Do not take a class with Professor Sullivan. He is rude and very unhelpful. I am an English major and he made this class unbearable for me. He is rude when you try and ask questions and the questions he puts on his quizzes and midterms are ridiculous. Often his questions don't have answers. His questions do not help you understand the material.

Ive never had such a rude and awful English professor before. Quizzes consisting of 25 vocab words are handed every single week and the professor's explanation is terrible

Comment:
Professor Sullivan was rude, unclear, and overall a horrible professor. He had certain days where he genuinely cared about his students, but most days he came in and belittled multiple students in his class. He started the year by telling us he is only teaching due to the massive amount of money he makes and his tenure. I would NOT recommend him.

Comment:
Professor Sullivan is very rude to his students and believes he is right about everything. He has called out so many of my fellow classmates when they answered a question wrong and embarrassed each of us at least once this semester. He tells us he hates us at least once a week and interrupts you when you speak to hear his own voice. TERRIBLE.

Comment:
Professor Sullivan is a jerk. he is the worst teacher I have ever had. He makes the students learn 1000 vocabulary words and he gives a hard vocab test each week. The entire class is based on vocab. He is old fashioned and doesn't allow the internet for many of his papers. VERY HARD GRADER. He is rude to his students and makes sarcastic remarks

Comment:
Professor Sullivan is a genius, and awkward too. But that is what makes his class interesting. Read the assignment and you'll pass every quiz given. His papers are a little unclear as to what he wants but he will agree to go over your paper if you write it early and lead you in the general direction you need to get it right. He is funny but he has a nose for students who care and participate and a distaste for people who don't take him seriously.

Very bad professor, very useless with writing skills. The entire class is all about vocabulary which doesn't even help. Don't take this class.

Not as bad as everyone makes him out to be! Definately a guy who makes you think. Be open to his corny jokes, they grow on you. I also recommend puting some dry and clever humor into your esays, he appreciates stuff like that.EXTREMELY HARD GRADER

By far the worst professor in existence. Very unprofessional, uses derogatory language, explains absolutely nothing, tells you your perception is wrong, and because of him I was disqualified from getting a full scholarship. Huge moron. Avoid taking this class at all costs.

Comment:
...The topics for the research papers are actually very interesting and relevant to American society. If you're an alternative type-thinker who loves English you will enjoy his class, if you're a slacker or hate the subject of English you will hate this class.I'm surpised he has such a bad rep because he is truly genuine, he's just sometimes strict

Comment:
He's def.misunderstood. By actually participating and listening to what he says, although somewhat boring and old-fashioned, you learn a lot. You have to be an English-lover to understand. I am a GIRL and I made a great connection with him, he definitely helped me to become a more effective writer. Respect him and he will respect you. Very wise!

Tough to like, but if you keep out of his way and do your work, he will like you and grade easier. His vocab quizzes every week are an easy A if you can learn the words, not just memorize. The papers make you think but do help you learn to analyze in between the lines. Dont talk or he will hate you

He is a misogynist and a creep. THe assignments were always unclear and pointless. Each assignment is purely busy work and has no real value or relationship to the topics. His teaching practice is out of date and I am surprised that his behavior with young females is still tolerated.

Professor Sullivan is the most misunderstood professor for serveral reasons: he is very hard to understand, but at the same time he gives a quiz almost every single class - DO THE READING! You'll score high. He is not clear about what he wants for his papers or midterm, but if you work through it and bring your findings to him he will HELP YOU OUT!

Comment:
He's a tough grader, gives out pointless handouts, bases the entire grade on just 7 assignments, and has a dry sense of humor. But if you go to class everyday and he thinks you read the homework, he'll really like you. Pretty sure he bumped me up a full letter grade just for that. So, he makes you earn your grade; if you slack, you'll suffer.

He is completely asinine in existence. After grading my research paper, he said it was the best in the class but I got a B+ because it was not "up to" my potential. For an intro class, he has insane expectations of the student's ability to analyze and respond independently. All 15 freshmen in the class have withdrawn. Our roster is down to 6.

He loses work that you hand in to him all the time. He told our class that he reserved material at the library for us for an essay we had to write however never did. He goes over stupid things to death and we have vocab quizes as if we are in 2nd grade. I couldn't stand him.
