Reviews of professor James Sullivan

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
HE takes forever to grade everything towards the middle/end of the semester. He gives weekly assignments for you to complete if online, and grades semi-fairly. I feel he got lazy at the end of the semester because the grading averages started changing.

He is knowledgeable and lectures were generally good.
The textbook is not well organized or written. Recorded lectures are often released on or after the assignment is due. His essay response questions are vague and his instructions are not clear on what he wants in terms of a response. Grading is subjective and there is no extra credit.

A really great professor who uploads assignments and readings clearly with a fair due date for assignments to be submitted. His lectures are also very beneficial if you're having difficulty understanding the textbook. He also gives great feedback on your assignments once he has graded them. Overall a really great professor and would recommend.

He knows his stuff and lectures were very interesting and informative. But he is a really picky grader. He loves taking away points for no reason. Along with that the hw can be unclear at times. He also just posts stuff whenever he wants to. Other than it was fine, but do not expect an easy A.

This teacher gave the most interesting lectures. Lectures were clear and understandable and incredibly interesting! I would take another history class with him and will if I have the chance. I got a B but that's because I forgot to participate in online discussions. Really recommend! He knows his stuff.

Prof. Sullivan is a great instructor. All of the lectures he had provided for us were extremely detailed and well-understood. Bc we didn't have a textbook, he had to provide the information for us (+ the required free books online). He grades fairly well, essays are a major assignment but he is pretty lenient as long as you understand the material.

Took this course accelerated and did not even feel accelerated. One reading assignment w/questions along with one discussion board per week. Highly recommend if u r looking for an easy A.

Grades fairly easy, assigns a couple books to read and write reports on throughout the semester. He is a great lecture professor, very engaging, and very knowledgeable about the topics he discusses. Loves to teach and teaches with passion and is inspiring for students. If you want to pass, just read the textbook chapters each week and pay attention

I wish I could avoid this professor, but he's the only one who teaches BOTH courses needed for UC credit. His material & lectures blatantly says Fall 2020. It's fall 2021. It's frustrating with his lack of organization and posting things whenever he feels like it. His course is alright, but I wish it could be taught by someone else. Slow grader.
