Prof. Tulloch is tricky. He is very nice and comprehends students life. His assignments are hard. For essays he gives topics that are not interesting at all. When a topyc is not interesting you dont have much to write about and a low grade follows. his grammar tests are not easy either. If you can, take another teacher. He gives no xtra credit.

It's not a matter of easiness or hardness. He doesn?t help the students. Other prof for ENC reviews the essays and gives them back to the student for second drafts. Tulloch takes the first drafts as your final grade for the essay. To sum up, he gave us a grammar test for the final exam instead of an essay. STAY AWAY. (TRUST ME)

DO NOT CHOOSE HIM AS A PROFESSOR. When he tells you to write essays he expects the to be done like how he writes his essays and is never clear about what exactly he wants in writing them. He mixes up the information on the types of essays he gives you. He says the test are based off of hawks learning BUT THEY ARENT. His test are hard for no reason

Show up on time. Will literally mark you tardy if you are ONE minute late and drops you after four tardys no matter how good you are doing in the class. Feels like a high school teacher. Super boring lectures hard not to fall asleep and if you start dozing off youre getting kicked out so drink a Red Bull. Can be very rude. Do not take this class.

This is literally the worst educator I've ever had in my entire history of being in school(from K-now). He doesn't give clear guidelines for what he wants and doesn't give good feedback either. His test are graded heavy and he doesn't tell you what the test are on so you're left studying blind. If you value your grades and gpa don't take his class

TULLOCH IS THE BEST! I promise you that all the bad reviews were written by LAZY students. Tulloch is an amazing professor, just make sure to show up to class, do your homework, and study for the exams. He doesn't give a lot of homework, it takes only 30 minutes to complete a weeks worth of homework. Tulloch is very smart, I learned a lot. TAKE HIM

Im about half way through this semester and despite having an A, I can already say that this professor is insufferable. The workload is heavy so they grade doesnt come easy but my biggest issue is that he brings out the worst in people with his condescending tone. He talks all class and yet I feel like Im not learning anything. Im over it.

Overly critical and a headache of a professor. Neither I or any of my classmates ever look forward to going to his class. He will assume youre not awake or paying attention if you choose not to participate, and Ive even seen him mark students absent for not choosing to participate. Hes very manipulative and is not a great professor.

Very engaging professor that is high spirited. He tries to get everyone to show a little participation. He only gives a few essays that are rather short in length. As long as you pay a bit of attention to his class and turn in assignments on time you will do well in his class. High recommend taking his courses.

I loved Professor Denton Tulloch, I took him for both 1101 and 1102, he's an extremely tough grader and will not reward you for slacking off, he will call on you and force you to participate or you will be marked absent. However, he has made me such a better writer and I could not be more grateful for him.

I took his online class. He asks A LOT of questions so be prepared to be forced to participate or you won't get credit. His material was pretty boring. He is a TOUGH grader. Essays must be perfect so spend a lot of time double and triple checking your work. I'm usually an A student, but I'm walking away with a C. So, pay attention and be ready.

He gets bratty when no one replied and will literally stay quiet for ten minutes wasting time and go off. His voice is annoying and he speaks condescendingly. Never replied to my emails or messages needing help and doesnt grade any work until the last minute. Overall just talk in his class just so you can get marked present and avoid his fits.

Overall great guy! As long as you participate and show that you care he will help you out when it comes to your final grade. He tries to build connections with his students over the live sessions so it makes the lectures a little more personal which is always a plus. Only downside is plenty of short assignments, time management is key w/ this class

Professor Tulloch is ruthless with grading. You must abide by his "rules" in order to get a sufficient grade on his essays. Do not take this class is you are not willing to completely perfect your essays according to how he likes them to be. He gives horrible feedback on the essays as well, very vague.

Not a bad professor however, not your typical professor. He has a very strict grading rubric which makes it nearly impossible to ever do good on his essays. He does lecture ALOT and participation does matter, he will sit in silence if no one talks. Not an essay class.

Prof. Tulloch went from a 5/5 to a 3.9, here's why. 1. His lectures are boring/repetitive 2. No 2nd chances, I had money issues, free access for hw expired, I couldn't take a quiz and when I explained my situation, he said it wouldn't be fair for him to reassign it for me alone, as if he said it sounds like a me problem. 3. Demands participation.

He is very straightfoward with his teaching and expectations. Get ready to learn with him. He will give you some tough feedback but you can't get hurt by it. You need to learn and just get better at it. Is an inmense struggle, but I promise you that if you use all the resources he gives you and pay some serious attention, YOU WILL LEARN.

Heavy participation needed and when almost half the class answered he put the rest of the class in break out rooms as retaliation for it, denying them the right to hear his lecture, over all would not recommend as for when you do answer him he asks 20 questions to you after wards and makes you feel stupid.

Professor Tulloch has high expectations, but if you put in the effort, the class is rewarding. Attending lectures and using tools like Unstuck ai for study prep really helps. Just be ready for tough feedback - it's all to make you a better writer.
