Reviews of professor Doris Mulhearn

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
She is a great professor and is highly knowledgeable about the subject. This course is not required for my major and was part of GenEd. But I still had to put so much effort for a 2000-level course. She gives detailed feedback, and if you follow those and clarify all doubts, you should be good. I followed her feedback and got a solid final grade.

For a class that is not required for my major. The grading was harsh, You do NOT get what you put in. Stay Away.

Really tough course for an entry-level class. Be prepared to write up a lot for 2 essays and several discussion boards a week. The discussion boards, it is graded harshly no matter how early you get it done. It is also very tough to get anything over a B as these discussion boards have to be detailed. Quizzes are pretty much every week, read ahead.

The discussion posts and deep dives are graded incredibly harshly. I received grades (based on the rubric) that state that all requirements were filled and good work was done... but was still left with a B on the assignments most every time. I honestly think her expectations for an online class are way too high, she wants engagement every day. no.

This instructor sets the bar so high that it is almost impossible to get an "A" in this course. Prepare to read a chapter a week and sometimes two per week. She uses "The American Yawp" for the textbook, it is free and available online. She has a weekly quiz that follows the reading, and other readings that were assigned. Two tests and two papers.

Grades way too harshly for a GenEd class. You can meet all of the requirements for a discussion post (which make up the majority of your grade) and still get a low B for stupid reasons. AVOID
