Reviews of professor Steve Sullivan

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Worst professor I've had at Miami so far. Gives extremely unclear directions and rubrics. Harsh grader but doesn't give you ANY grades until you get your final grade for the class. My advice, DO NOT TAKE THIS COURSE. Could be failing and never know it until you get back the grade and there's nothing you can do. Even if its not this specific class

Professor Sullivan has improved a lot over the years. I met him before COVID, and my friends in the class really struggled, but when I took his class this year, they said that he was much more lenient with missing class and a lot clearer on your grade. Very useful teaching method with the artifacts, difficult but fun.

In the beginning of the semester, I didn't put any effort into the class mainly because I didn't find the class remotely interesting and there was barely any homework. When I did put a lot of effort into an assignment, I received the same grades as I did when I didn't try at all. Not one grade was entered until the last day of finals week...

Dr. Sullivan is very knowledgeable on a lot of topics and I learned a lot in this class. The homework load was light and we did a lot in class, we were always busy doing something and we got to do a lot of fun stuff. However, Dr. Sullivan did not have the Canvas page ready or accurate to this class, so there was a lot of confusion there for me.

The class had a wide range of topics but made you focus heavily on a specific topic of your choice. The assignments aided in the final project. Dr. Sullivan is busy but he always found time to meet and talk. He got behind in grading at times but talking to him made it clear where I stood in the class.  He was lenient with late work. Great class.

Class time was engaging, often outside, but he had the most unclear expectations I have ever encountered. Canvas was never up to date. Assignments were almost never graded. Due dates and assignment structures were constantly changed, including the entire structure of the final. A great guy who is very passionate, but not nearly organized enough.

know anything about the field. Everyone in the class were in that field but me. Also, I did a presentation and afterwards, he made a comment about how some of the things I said was wrong. Made me feel more uncomfortable to talk in class. I honestly hated this class. Nothing like learning that you failed a class the last day of the semester!
