Best teacher I have ever had, really. He came out of retirement to teach again. He gives a good amount of homework but tells you what pages the answers are on. For the tests he tells you which questions on homework are on the test. Usually the majority of the test is multiple choice and some short answers/definitions.

Professor Mullaly is one of the greatest teachers at PC. He is very funny, often joking with all of his students to bring some humor to the class. He is a very relatable person and tells stories of his past. Overall he is a very fair teacher and gives practice tests that are nearly identical to the actual test.

Professor Mullaly is one of my favorite professors. He deeply cares about his students, and wants nothing more than to see them succeed. Lots of extra credit opportunities to get the grade you want, and a straight up amazing guy. Take his class!

Mullaly is the best professor I have had yet. I would not have wanted to take an 8:30 with any other professor. He is always available outside of class and gives bonus points a lot. His class is full of jokes and life lessons. Whoever says he is not a good teacher, obviously did not show up to class and is ungrateful for all this man does.

Professor Mullaly is easily the best professor I've had during my time so far at PC. He is very organized and on top of things and his lectures could not be more clear. He offers so many opportunities for extra practice and help. His sense of humor keeps the class very interesting! Wish he taught more classes:)

Had Mr. Mullaly for 8:30 on Mondays and he made the class a pleasure to attend. His humor was right up my alley which made it that much better. Homework due every class but they are only meant to help you and the practice tests are very beneficial. Sent a birthday email to me which I will never forget and cares so much for his students. Take him!MP

Prof. Mullally was great. He works really hard when it comes to lecture preparation. He is very accessible outside of class, and really takes the time to get to know his students. He even emailed me on my birthday just to say he hoped I had a great day. He's a fair grader and his tests are very similar to his practice tests. He's the best!!

He is one of the best people I have ever met along with one of the best teachers and professors I have ever had or probably ever will have. He cares about you as a student and a person. I truly learned the material that he taught and he made it fun. 15/10 would recomend

Mr. Mullaly was one of the best professors I've had so far at PC. He really is great at his job and goes above in beyond to make sure you understand the material and are get a good grade. Econ is never fun (in my opinion) but Mr. Mullaly made class enjoyable. He also teaches you about the importance of investing your money which is very helpful.

If you put in effort then you will do well in his class. He keeps the class entertained with jokes which is nice especially at 8:30am. If you ask for his help he will help you. No tricks on his tests.

I have never met a college professor who cares about their students more than Dr. Mullaly does. He is approachable, caring, and quite funny too! He offers plenty of extra credit opportunities to help your grade, and is more than willing to help any student in need. His class was honestly a life changing experience for me. 12/10 would take again!

To say he cares about students is such an understatement. He SO wants everyone to succeed (in and out! of the classroom). He made me excited for an 8:30 am class. TAKE MULLALY!!!!!!

Prof Mullaly made class enjoyable, offered great advice, and really loves his students and teaching. I always looked forward to class. While he joked around a lot and told great stories, he got down to business. I was able to learn and retain A LOT about economics, and even finance. He really understands his students, I will miss having him.

John Mullaly is the best micro Econ professor, he makes his class interesting and is hilarious. Economics classes don't come easy to me, but I managed to get a B in his class because of how helpful he was. The grade is based on 3 exams (25% each) and homework (25%). If you go to him outside of class and work hard he won't let you get below a B-.

All work is on paper, but it's not really hard. Some of it can be time consuming but doing it right helps you understand. He tells you exactly what's on the tests (3 tests total) so its easy to study. If you are struggling you NEED to go to extra help. You get credit for going, and what work you do in office hours are sheets exactly from the test.

Professor Mullaly is an awesome guy and great introduction into Providence College for me. Economics is often viewed as boring or dry, but this guy made it so much fun. The class truly is very easy if you do the homework and listen during lectures. Mr. Mullaly is the best professor I've had here so far, and I'd recommend him to anyone taking econ.

Class itself wasn't too difficult, pretty middle of the line as far as college is concerned. He unknowingly cranks the stress level, however, especially when he mandates a project where you PERFORM A CHAPTER SUMMARY AS A GROUP WITH A SONG AND DANCE AND FILMS IT. Not the ideal situation when you're in your first college semester. Pretty jarring.
