great teacher funny great guy but its not that hard you do have to show up every dat cause its a lecture you basically take notes on ehat he speaks but cool teacher fun

Great professor he outlines what you will be learning that day on the board. Never opened the book just studied from notes and got an A in the class. All his tests are from the lectures

He is a great teacher! Really cares about the info and about making sure his students understand the info. Take this class!! his notes are clear and his tests are based off his notes, study the notes. I enjoyed his classes!

May seem pretty difficult, but as long as you keep notes from hiis lectures and make sure you understand whats on the study guide you will do fine on the exams. If you dont have notes for something on the study guide just ask him the day prior to the test and he will explain. no homework, just exams with m/c and one essay question.

He is one of the best professors I have ever had,he loves what he does and has passion for it. He knows history, and very helpful. He is a decent man who respects his students and who has patience toward ignorance.

knows what he is teaching! he understands many people have trouble with history so he offers helpful extra credit.very good teacher!

McMullen's teaching style is awesome! He essentially just tells you history stories while you take down notes. It's much more entertaining that I anticipated. He gives students multiple opportunities for easy extra credit! There is no reason why you shouldn't get an A in this class. I got a C on every test and just did extra credit to get my A!

McMullen is awesome got an A in his class. Everything on his tests is in the notes and gives a TON of extra credit super funny and honest I would defiantly recommend him!

GREAT teacher! I would definitely recommend him. The class is pretty easy if you just show up and take good notes. You could get a D on every test and as long as you do all the extra credit assignments offered it's still possible to get an A in the class!

You will love Mr. McMullen!! Take him, I got a C on the last test, and I still absolutely love this class!!He offers a *TON* of extra credit, lectures are like story time, he is VERY respectful, calling Miss__. He singles people out to answer questions, take very detailed notes!!! SO IMPORTANT.Christian/republican/marine :)) Take him if you can!!

Great example of what a professor should be. Go to class take notes then go home. ALL you do is listen and take notes in his class. He is funny and lets you out very early most most of the time. NO HW, NO Quizzes, lots of extra credit. As long as you go to class pay attention and write notes you will pass the test.

easy if you go to class

Lectures everyday. Very easy to listen to. Gives you a great study guide for tests, you just have to make sure that you actually study. Attendance is important since the test comes almost exactly from lectures. Textbook use is low.

I would definitely reccomend him. His class is easy, but not ridiculously easy. Just go to class and study the study guide and you will be fine.

GREAT Professor! The tests are difficult I got low C's on all of them but did all the extra credit and passed the class with an A. He wants you to learn so he calls your name to answer questions in class

After taking History 102 with a terrible professor Mr. McMullen was a breath of fresh air! His lectures are interesting and his tangents even more so! EXCELLENT teacher!

Great teacher, he really wants you to pass and learn, gives out a lot ofnextra credit and kinda quizes whole class with questions about last lecture. he lectures for the whole class and all of his info is important so u have to go to every class. his tests are scantron and essay, gives out study guides. pay attention and do ALL of the study guides.

Great teacher. Always keeps class intresting. if you are of the left wing yo should avoid him however. Deffinately take him.

He is an AWESOME teacher, he loves what he teaches and tries to get you to love it too. He announced at the beginning of class that he is a Christian, Conservative, Right Wing-Nut-Job(his own words) and he is ex-Navy. (don't mix it up with the Marines) :) over all my favorite class!

One of my favorite professors ever! Easy to understand and follow the lectures, but note-taking is essential to be ready for exams. Straight-forward and sarcastic/funny teacher who is passionate about the topic (some people were intimidated by him, but not me) Highly recommended :)

He is my favorite professor at Palomar! This is the 1st class I have looked forward to coming to everyday. 5 tests, 1 short paper, and a ton of extra credit. Attendance not mandatory buy tests are from notes. Buy the old edition of the book for 50 cents on eBay, but only needed it to review a bit for tests. Wish I could take the class again!

He's a little tough on the outside, but he's a total teddy bear. If you have difficulties in his class, go speak to him and he'll help you. Watch the movies he recommends; they help a lot. As soon as you see the books needed for his course, get them and read them. Record his lectures! He goes pretty fast. I had a great time in his class.

This guy is a trip. Not a bad teacher. Gives good extra credit opportunities. Pretty boring to sit and listen to. But I'm definitely not interested in history so that might not have helped either. Definitely go to class because a lot of the test questions are from his lecture.

His tests are hard and full of trap questions... but he is a great, entertaining teacher. He gives lots of extra credit opportunities. recommended

I absolutely hate history and he was the best teacher I've ever had... probably ever at Palomar. He is so clear and understanding. He truly wants his students to succeed. Highly recommended.

Oh man this professor is funny, get on his good side but his lectures are awfully boring i recommend a voice recorder and DO ALL THE EXTRA CREDIT. It will help so much the tests are pretty hard 50 points scantron 50 points essay question. I'd take him again just always show up and laugh at his old guy jokes...

give the guy a break!I liked him,I'm tired of the liberals & their agenda.It's not rocket science, hist. is facts there4 u have to have good notes.if you study them, u'll be fine, not worth procrastinatin over.. The EC is a family tree n going to speakin events, how's that hard1? do them! it'll help! this is college not HS...

I am a die-hard liberal, so I was a bit nervous when he said he was a Conservative Republican- but it turned out to be a great learning experience! He doesn't try to force any agenda down your throat- he teaches history through facts and gives you extra credit opportunities. Easily one of the best teachers I've ever had. A!

Only 4 tests which are not easy to score well on. Multiple choice tests with an essay question. No homework which is nice, but not helpful to your grade. Long essay on a book due 2 weeks before the final. Great lecturer though and keeps it interesting. Downside is that he's monotone, if that bores you.

Professor McMullen is an awesome professor. I highly recommend talking his history classes. I had him for 101 and 102 and had a great experience with him. He is very passionate about his job and is very helpful. Not to mention he is really funny! His lectures are always entertaining. Professor McMullen is an attribute to Palomar college.

If you need to take history 101 or 102, I highly recommend taking Professor McMullen's class!He is an awesome professor and is really passionate about teaching. He is very helpful and only wants the best for his students. His lectures are so fun and he is very fair with grading. Definitely one of the best professors at palomar! :)

Hist 102 with Professor Mcmullen was not easy. Like I worried more about his tests than my Calculus tests because they were a lot harder. I averaged a C on every test, got a 100% on his paper and did 3/4 EC and managed to get an A idk how though. For his mandatory paper, make sure you use direct quotes and answer his questions the way he wants them

Honestly, this class was NOT hard. Granted , I'm pretty good at history and it just sticks , but his lectures and the way he teaches is simple , clear , and he leaves out things from the textbook that you literally do not need to know. Like who so and so's brother was or something like that. Loved his teaching method , would defiantly recommend.

Amazing professor! He is passionate about his work and has awesome lectures. I highly recommend him for History 101 or 102.

Tests are hard. But there's about 120 pts of easy extra credit available that makes it hard to fail unless you just don't care. He is very knowledgeable also! He throws out pop questions at the beginning of class, but they aren't worth points so you aren't penalized. Cracks some jokes to wake people up, and is a great professor. I would take again!

This guy is awesome. I loved going to class everyday, though the one gripe I have is that he goes super quick. Better have a laptop handy or be a fast writer! He may be monotone, but he's funny and interesting. Definitely take McMullen for History 101102!

Professor McMullen made history so interesting to me. Definitely would take him again if i already hadn't taken all of the courses he teaches. All lectures are intriguing as he tells them like a story. He's passionate of his work, you can tell the by listening to him. He's funny and a good teacher, extra credit is there and is easy to get.

I took Prof McMullen for both Hist 101 and 102 and its a great class. There are only 4 tests (half scantron and half essay) which he gives a study guide for. The tests are bit tough but he gives 100 pts extra credit which helps. There is a responsive book paper that you will have to do but you are aloud to make changes for new grade.

Prof McMullen is a wonderful person and one of the finest Professors I have ever had. However he belongs in a University with a BA or MA program. He is a tough grader and his tests are on what he has covered not the book. Dont miss class, follow his instructions and record his lectures & transfer your audio to notes and you will do great!

Professor McMullen is a great professor. The test are hard, but if you take good notes you shall do fine on the test. First is a 50 question ScanTron (50 Points), then and Essay question (50 Points). He allows up to 100pts in extra credit! Great lectures and very informative. Overall had a great experience in Histoy 101 can't wait for History 102.

At first impression, he can seem intimidating. But he is not. He knows his history very well. To pass this class all you have to do is take detailed notes from lecture which you can use for quiz. If you miss a class you miss part of the test. He give a essay portion on exams but he will give you the questions. Extra credit is simple and helps.

- This guy is a History nut. His enthusiasm is reflected in his entertaining lectures. - Lots of essays, designed to help prepare new students for college level essays. Take Prof. McMullen first! - Majority of test material based on lecture material, not the book. Detailed notetaking essential to pass!

Kenneth McMullen is the best professor! Took him for 101 and 102 and loved his teaching style. Super passionate about history and it is actually very interesting to listen to his lectures. Entire class is a lecture and you will need to take detailed notes to pass. Allowed notecards for test, and no need in buying a text book.

he offers 100 points of extra credit which is how i got my A in the class even though my tests grades were low. be very detailed on his few papers, he gives feedback to improve your papers grade. he looks scary but he's actually nice and kinda funny. i would take again to get an A.

- four test - two papers in which he grades and gives back to you to FIX! - LOTS of easy extra credit

He gives you every opportunity to get an A. Just put in effort and you will be fine, the amount of extra credit offered is amazing. Do exactly what he asks of you and you will get an A. He LOVES history and it made me love it too. I wish I would have taken him for 102, he was great!

Decent prof, however you have to work for your grade. Requires you to purchase "Apostles of Disunion", which was never discussed in context in class. Had decent, interesting lectures. Graded on 4 tests, and 2 papers.

Without a doubt, unequivocally the best teacher I have ever had. Very knowledgeable, and relays all the info back to you for anyone to understand. Show up and take notes and it's an easy A on tests. There's an essay at the end which takes time, but is very simple! Offers a ton of extra credit, and is actually a really funny guy! Much recommend!!!

Super knowledgeable about US History, tries to make it as entertaining as possible. Took his class for HIST 101+102. One paper majority of grade-doesn't provide clear rubrics for grading, try to be thorough. Lets u revise. Read instructions carefully. Few quizzes, couple pg papers, 4 exams. Offers lots of extra credit bumped my grade one letter up.

Tough grader, there is one main project "Apostles of Disunion" He gives two shots at this essay. First attempt you'll get tons of feedback, I got a low grade on the first essay, however this did NOT affect my grade. I fixed everything he said and got an 85 on the final essay. His exams are easy if you watch his lectures. DO THE EXTRA CREDIT!
