Reviews of professor Doris Mulhearn

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
I took this class online due to COVID. NOT EASY. She is a tough grader. It doesn't matter how hard you try, you probably aren't going to satisfy her. She expects you to check D2L several times a day. Weekly quizzes and discussions. Very high expectations. Her midterm & final exams are 80+ questions and you have to write 4-page papers with them.

Awful teacher. The time required to put into the class to receive a good grade, is not at all worth it. She is the harshest grader I have ever had, and her grading does not make any sense. It is virtually impossible to receive an A in this meaningless history class without devoting your entire life to it. Worst professor I have ever had.

Dr. Mulhearn was a really great teacher. She put in effort to make grading guidelines clear, and if you follow the rubric and read the chapters, you will get a good grade. Her class is difficult and takes effort, but if you do anything above the bare minimum you will be fine. Also, she is very understanding if you reach out for help with anything.

This professor grades incredibly harshly for a gen ed class, even on discussions which make up a large portion of the final grade.She doesn't let you use normal school email so you have to use the d2l email to contact her, you may as well send an owl with a note. Avoid this professor if you can help it.

mulhearn was a extremely unpleasant professor to work with. for starters, she forgets this is a history gen-ed class but grades like its a graduate level neurosurgeons class. second her criteria for assignments makes no sense. and finally her due dates contradict what she puts on D2L. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

She was a lovely human being to talk to, but my god, was her class tough. She was always ready to help out, but the weekly assignments/discussion posts were an obstacle. The papers required a lot of work as well, but there were extra credit opportunities. They came in clutch at the end of the semester. So, make sure you do all of the extra credits.

Absolutely abysmal teacher. One of, if not the, worst I have ever had. Terribly harsh grading, outlandish expectations for time put in and quality of work. My true problem with this class is you do not get out what you put in. Your grade does not reflect the work you put in. The discussion posts do not help with the understanding of the subject.

Very hard trader when it comes to her discussion boards. No matter how much you type, its hard to get above a B on the discussion boards. She communicates very well with students but is very detailed when it comes to essays and the discussion boards. The course is also heavy on the reading as you will need to to be successful on weekly quizzes
