Reviews of professor Abigail Mullen

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Okay hear me out! This class should have been the easiest class of my entire college career, BUT instead she made it a absolute nightmare! She was unfair in grading and on multiple occasions would take more points off of my assignments then others when we had the same mistakes. This should have been an easy A but she was unclear about grading.

Professor Mullen makes you sign a grade contract. You will pass if you do the work! The weeks are very organized & you have a good amount of time to complete every assignment. The due dates are far in the semester so you have to manage your time and complete the assignments so it won't get to be too much for you. I loved this class overall!

I enjoyed Professor Mullen's class. She has you sign a grading contract that basically says that you are guaranteed to pass as long as you complete her work, things aren't really graded. She wants you to learn something from the course rather than have you working toward a good grade. It's virtually impossible to end up with anything less than a C.

Literally Dr. Mullen is one of the best professors I had at Mason. She has you sign a grade contract at the beginning of the semester and it is impossible for you to fail the class. Make sure to communicate with her. As far as I am aware she no longer works at Mason but her husband does! I still wanted to write this because shes the best! Spring22

Professor Mullen has you sign a grade contract that says that you are guaranteed to pass as long as you complete her work. She wants you to learn something from the course rather than focus on getting a good grade. It's impossible to end up with less than a B unless you really don't work. The cool thing is that you end up making a website.

This is the perfect class to take for IT GenEd if you are not tech savvy. She makes a video step by step guide for each assignment and you make a website with a bunch of blog posts. She is accessible 24/7 via the Slack channel and very happy to help. Nothing was hard just took some time. I am really happy I took her/this class.

Makes you sign a grade contract at the beginning of the semester for the grade you want, then evaluates you at the end of the sem whether you deserve that grade. The class was heavily project-based; I honestly don't remember what we learned in class outside of the semester-long project. If you don't like groupwork, she's prob not the Prof for you.

No exams or traditional essays. Your grade for class is based on one semester-long group research project. The class votes for the research topic and you will make a class podcast based on the topic, using the professors recording equipment. Finished project goes on Spotify. Professor is very supportive. She shows you everything step-by-step.
