Reviews of professor Thomas McNulty

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
This professor is not very engaging but the content is great! He only grades two assignments and does not offer extra credit. Whatever you get on the assignment is the grade for the class.

Dr. McNulty is an expert in his field and very knowledgable. Most of the readings outside the textbook are his. He really wants to help you understand. But he is lecture heavy, very dry, and not very engaging. Very basically no assignments and a 12 page paper due at the end thats 60% of the grade. No tests.

He gets a bad rap, but he's so nice. He worked with me about attendance & navigating schedule conflicts and was sure flexible. He really wants his students to succeed-- gives basically a day off every week so you can write your papers. We've maybe met half the class periods this semester which is the best. Assignments are dense but doable. Easy A.

You're only graded by one paper that you have the entire semester to work on. If you send your paper to him throughout the semester, he'll give you very thorough assistance so you can have a well put together paper by the due date which is months from the beginning of the school year. His lectures were very boring, but attendance is mandatory.

Don't buy the textbooks for this class you won't need them. You are solely graded on attendance and a final research paper that he gives you all semester to write - he even cancels class on weeks when drafts are due so you can work on it. I will say he's not the most engaging professor, but he's a really nice guy and gives really helpful feedback.

Easiest class I've ever taken. He does talk like the sloth from zootopia, but it isn't that bad. Absolutely no quizzes or homework. The only assignment is a paper that you periodically check in with him on your progress. If you are interested in criminology or just need an easy class, this is a great option.

Dr. McNulty cares a lot about his students, he is willing to work with them through any troubles with the papers and gives a lot of time to complete them. He wants to help and see us do well. He also doesn't take points off for late work, which was a Godsend considering how busy my schedule was this semester. Take notes during the lectures!

I would not recommend this class. Learned nothing the whole semester. Dont even know what my grade is because nothing is clear in this class. I believe he is more confused than the class.
