Reviews of professor Thomas Bullington

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Bullington is the most amazing human and professor. His class is interesting and the reading he assigns leads to really an intriguing discussion. His essays are on really interesting topics (Social justice & video games!!). Essays are hard but they're hard in any INT class. I would, in fact, die for him.

I'm normally a strong writer and have always scored very well on all of my essays; however, in this class, I consistently made B's on my papers. Many of the mistakes he found were either subjective or entirely incorrect. I dreaded going to class each period. Granted, I think that's the nature of INT, not the professor. No clear grading criterion.

Wonderful guy, sloooooow grader. It will infuriate you. But he is fair. For example, this past semester he gave a five-part assignment starting in October that would end during finals week. He did not grade the first part until finals. We had no clue how we were doing in his class. But he kept that in mind while grading so we did really well.

A nice professor who loves video games and is up to date on pop culture. Do not take this class if you don't like discussions because the whole class is basically that. Grades essays harshly, do not expect to make an easy/high A on papers, but it is not hard to have an overall A in the class. Sometimes the reading was a lot, but usually good books.

One of my favorite great books professors. Treats his students like adults, and asks permission for things. Only two papers for the whole class and offers lots of extra credit. Took his GBK 305 Modern Worldview class.

very lenient and deadline-flexible. gets flustered easily. he's the nicest, realist prof of all time. a very fair grader and lets the class dictate the flow and nature of conversation. you can get by without doing the reading, but if you don't do well on the writing you won't do well at all. offered 7 points of extra credit to your average.

While he puts his foot down as the professor when he needs to, Dr. Bullington participates in the class discussion as a relatable peer, willing to share personal anecdotes and listen to those of students. His class involves a lot of small, easy assignments, but there are a lot of them, and the reading can be a bit much some times.

Professor Burlington is one of the most amazing professors I have had so far at Mercer! It is clear that he has a passion for what he does. He is amazing at making sure everyone in his class is on the same page regarding what he requires to be successful in class. As long as you participate and complete the work, his INT class we be very enjoyable!
