Reviews of professor Paul Sullivan

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
This guy is a horror! He is uninspiring and uninteresting during lectures. On top of that, he is just rude, condescending, snarky, and generally unpleasant to be around. Avoid at all costs!

Man where do I start? This guy is the worst professor I have ever had in my entire life. He is very boring and his lectures are heavy. I enter the class excited and ready to learn and left feeling disappointed and confused. This was an elective and I wish I had taken another class. Avoid him!

Look, he's a tough grader for a tough set of courses. But, what these people who clearly shouldn't have been taking econometrics in the first place seem to ignore is his willingness to discuss the topics outside class and really help them succeed. His classes are hard, but if you are passionate about economics he's a great professor to have.

Look, Econometrics is incredibly difficult, but it is not Professor Sullivan's fault. Professor Sullivan is incredibly smart, and a very good Professor, but lectures are very long and can be very boring. Developing a solid note taking strategy will ensure you keep yourself engaged, and always ask questions, as it forces you to focus.

Look I understand the negative reviews-- econometrics is a tough class so naturally, people will be disgruntled. Prof Sullivan is one of my favorite lecturers I've had at American, he's great at explaining theory and contextualizing things. Attend class, pay attention, and you'll do well. He's also very approachable and there's plenty of EC.

Econometrics is a tough subject, but Professor Sullivan explains everything from multiple perspectives (in words, in different words, in math). It is obvious he wants his students to succeed, so if you are interested in econometrics (including multiple regression, interpretations, etc.) and you make an effort, you will learn.

This class can definitely be difficult- however he will genuinely explain something as many times as you need. Super responsive to questions and provides practice tests that are basically identical to the in class tests. Entire grade is from test scores though so don't take if you struggle with test taking.

Prof. Sullivan explains subjects clearly and thoroughly. This is my second course with him, and my best advice would be to show up to class, do the homework, complete example tests. You will do well. Struggling? Go see him, plain and simple. He gives 4 tests, most likely, but 3 are non-cumulative. Just be a student... show up, learn...
