Reviews of professor Anthony Pullen

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He's a really nice guy. If physics isn't your forte, you may find it hard to catch up. I went to every lectures and took notes, but still had trouble passing the course. Physics is a hard subject to teach and Prof. Pullen seemed to have trouble explaining it sometimes. I don't blame him. Also, he does curve at the end of the semester.

very accomodating

If you have another choice, please choose that one. It is really hard to get an A in this class. Even though there is a lot of extra credit homework, they are far less than enough compared to the average of the exam.

I really dislike his lectures. It is super unorganized, and he is bad at explaining things. The exams only have 20 mutiple choice so having one wrong means 5% off. I though this is an easy class since it is a CORE but the way he is grading it makes it hard. A lot of points covered in the exam was not explained detailedly by him in class.

Pretty easy class for what it is. I got A's on 14/20 test grades because he curves by a lot and gives lots of extra credit. He usually focuses on bigger ideas and isn't too math heavy.

Very considerate and genuinely wants you to do well---that being said, I find his style of teaching to be really difficult to understand. It just feels like he expects you to grasp concepts after he spends 10 seconds explaining it. He gives extra credit through the HW and curves tests, but overall it's hard for me to understand his lectures.

Everything mid. Mid difficulty, mid helpfulness, mid everything. He posts his lecture notes on Brightspace. So finding notes should not be a problem. Not the interactive or humorous type. COPIOUS time on exams. 20 MCQs only and an hour to complete it. However, the questions are either hard to comprehend or refer to a very minor specific detail.

Really bad at explaining things and will test you with tricky word questions down to the most minor detail. He barely curved, and considered a 75% median a good grade for a core class. Many of the students aren't physics majors and struggled a lot but he didn't seem to care.

Tests are tough, and averages are super low for a core. You will have many extra credits opportunities, but they aren't really useful. Professor is a nice person, but he cannot explain everything clearly. Not recommend if you don't have a huge passion on physics.

The lecture is not heavy. The main problem with this course is the exams. You will get three exams, two containing 20 mcqs and one containing 30 mcqs. Therefore, it will be easy for you to lose points and get a bad letter grade even with bonus points.
