Excellent orator who makes class fun and interesting; goes off topic too often.

Good teacher - fun to go to class. Hardest marker I have encountered.

Very interesting, needs to stick to course outline more.

Hard marking in assignment, but high marks in overall grade and fun class

Totally crazy and fun... assignments were confusing

Great teacher. Very clear that he cares about students.

The funniest and most interesting prof that I have ever had take 145 if you can

i recommend this prof

Easy class. If you show up impossible to fail. He enjoys teaching.

Clear. Concise. Knowledgable. Vibrant. Non-linear. Passionate. Helpful. Kind.

Take 240 with Cullen! Lots of fun. Interesting. Learned so much.

this guy ROCKS.people who complain about him are all whiners with no imagination

Cullen is wacky, out-there, and also the best writing prof you could imagine!

Awesome prof! Was the first one I had at UVic and wish there were more like him.

Profs don't get much better.............

So helpful and understanding. This was such a fun class.

Is all over the board with his notes,but is fabulous

excellent. take his course. He's funny and really really smart. Don't use ing!

knowledge of old and new, all over the board with notes, hilarious, YOU'RE GREAT

Great professor, encourages hard work and thinking.

what can I say, very 'intresting' class

Cullen is a superb Prof. You need to think hard and be creative to do well in his class; he makes it VERY clear what you need to do. STUPENDOUS PROF!!!

The best writing teacher I've seen. He'll kill me for using two 'ing' words here.

Great class! Good teacher, keeps you intersted, very funny.

He is one dead sexy man!!

My English class with him was the only class this semester that i didn't dread going to. He was hilarious! Every class was a laugh-fest from start to finish. He made the material fun and interesting. I learned a lot, and had a blast.

Great prof. Showed up for every class just to see what crazy thing he'd do next. Turned a very boring class into something tolerable. Now if only he could teach physics...

Absolutely fabulous. He is what an English prof should be: creative, engaging, knowlegable, and mildly insane. A wonderful experience.

Best professor I had this year. Only class I never fell asleep in. Gave me a whole new appreciation for the course material.

He cracks me up. He is definately insane, but also really wants you to do well. If you just sort of sit back and absorb his rants you will learn more than if you try to take notes.

Hillarious

How can you not like this guy? He is great. But only if you go and see him in his office. Get him to proofread things before you hand them in and you can't go wrong. That is the key to success in his class.

A breath of fresh air. You will not fall asleep. The end of class will creep up on you. He's fun and faaaantastic.

Awesome. If you're up to it this teacher thinks way outside the box. He is intelligent, casual, enlightened, entertaining and inspiring (oh no - two "ing" words!) all at once. He responds really well to people who can see what he is really about

I loved this class, attending it was a pleasure. He made us read out loud though, I didn't enjoy that so much! I didn't do too well on the mark front in this class because my writing style was not what he wanted, but if you want a lively prof he's great!

By far my favorite teacher after finishing first year.He will describe to you exactly what he wants if you approach or e-mail him.Made an effort to learn students names.Classes very entertaining, and informative.Chose interesting pieces to read.

This guy is fully off his rocker. Some days he entertained and inspired me. Other days I wanted to stab him. He makes an effort to learn student's names, has students read aloud in class, chooses interesting material, and thoroughly dissects the material in class. Overall, enjoyable.

Awesome prof. Basically every word that leaves his mouth is worth listening to. He's hilarious and each class goes by so quickly! He expects decent effort, but makes the assignments fun, not boring which is what I expected. I would highly recommend him, he's probably the best prof I've had at uvic!

He is amazing. Eccentric, off the wall, insane, but so inspirational and intriguing. You'll never miss one of his classes. He's a tough marker, but spoon feeds the class the material, so if you shouw up and listen, you'll be fine. Love this man, think he should run the university, hell the country!

Great teacher, very effective, very funny

Professor Cullen is quite an entertaining professor. My writing skills definitely improved this semester. He is very helpful out of class.

Not hung up on grammar. Teaches the important things.

Of all my profs at UVic, he's in my top 3. Instead of teaching you the 'right' way, he teaches the 'smart' way. A tip for his classes is 'Stand Out'. If he knows you're going for an A, chances are, he'll help you. All in all, an excellent prof!

If english is not your strong suit, don't take his classes, if you're just taking it because you have to, find another prof, and don't waste this ones time. He's incredibly inteligent, but plays alot of games. He's challenging, and frustrating, but he'll teach you tons if you stick with it. Most satisfying classes i've ever taken at University.

Funny man...makes english interesting. I would definately recommend him. Just remember to say "Thank you".

Michael Cullen is not only a professor of English, he should be a professor of life! His English classes are to the point and he explains things that would assist in the development of every student. The power of nothing, nothing is more powerful than the power of nothing. Just an example of a few wise words by Cullen.

An amazing and inspiring prof- In my 5 years of University, this was one of the most valuable courses I took; I use the info to this day in scholastic and business endeavors. Professional writing is a must-have for us all and he is an excellent source of information you will use for life. If you have the chance take a pro. writing course with him.

Cullen rocks! Class was enjoyable and assignments were fine if you pay attention and do a bit of work. Tough if you do it all at the last minute. Tons of valuable material in lectures. Cullen's a cool guy

Very interesting guy. You could probably learn something from him...if he was your buddy. He's got a TON of useful communication knowledge (you can tell: he always macks on all the women -- and is GOOD at it). He's a little unclear as to what he expects; if he could present his class in a more structured format he would be a fantastic prof.

The way he taught information...it just seemed to stick in your head. I am a better writer for his class and so sad to hear he is gone. Nice man!

Cullen was amazing. Most inspirataional prof I have had. Sadly missed.

Remembering Michael still brings tears to my eyes. His amazing influence has touched my life in so many ways... He will be forever missed and revered as a terrific and dedicated teacher, a gifted writer, and a great man. RIP.

Cullen was a truly incredible man. He was an amazing teacher. He made going to class every day such a joy, plus I learned a lot. When I heard that he had passed away I was so upset, and I think of him often. My sincerest apologies go out to his friends and family, as I'm sure he is incredibly missed. A special man who changed the lives of so many.
