This guy is so funny! He'd come in with Ozzy T-shirts on, and poke fun at his students. He'll work with you after class if you ask for it, and wants you to pass, no matter what. He jokes around a ton, and leads great class discussions. If you don't like to write you'll hate this class, b/c there are a lot of papers. Most pull an A or B though.

Sure, sometimes Dr. Fullmer isn't afraid to say what's on his mind, but he is passionate about what he does, and he does it well.

Took this class as an online course. Each week you read a different play and write a 500 word repsonse to it. Also get two chances at weekly quizzes, which are fairly easy.

Dr. Fullmer was a great teacher! He was really into what he was teaching making this class easy to understand. He is very helpful if you have any questions or concerns. Even though he has strong opinions he is good about seeing the other side(well other than heavy metal). I would strongly recommend him as a Writing and Rhetoric teacher.

I absolutely adore Fullmer. I took two classes from him and I would take more if they were offered. His tests are take-home and very long but you get at least a week to do them so if you work on them a little each day you are just fine. He will give you an A if you show you work hard and make a clear effort. He is understanding if you talk to him

He doesn't like questions and if you ask him anything, he'll say, "I've already answered that."

Wow- Professor Fullmer is amazing! I loved this class so much. We got to read many astounding Stephen King books- lots of amazing pages, but audio books help... Dr. Fullmer's knowledge is impressive, and he gives wonderful lectures. I wish I could take this class a million times over. Fullmer is the most caring professor I've had. Take his class!

He is nice and understanding, but a lot of times the class was quite lost and confused.

Professor Fullmer is great, but despite claiming otherwise, this class is essentially a Tolkien class for the first month of class. He is a good listener and takes student comments into consideration, but there is so much reading. It also feels like high school, in the sense that electronics are not typically allowed, there are exceptions though

Dr. Fullmer was a very nice professor, but he never graded anything on time and our final exam was also never graded. He was also hard to contact. Be prepared to read a lot and be sure to study/take note of everything because sometimes things that we discussed like once or twice in class was included in the midterm and/or final exam.

TERRIBLE, don't take him, you will hate life, great feedback ONCE he does grade. His online class assignments are so unorganized. Will not respond timely for help. Issued WRONG book text and refuses to fix it - more of a moderator than an instructor and certainly NOT an educator.
