Good lectures but hard quizzes.

i'll agree this class was very difficult, but i'm glad, i learned a lot, forced me to study and pay attention and go to class. i got an A, but it was very difficult,and i was one of a few.. if you want an A, you have to study hard, and make sure to go visit him in his office

I feel that Dr. Sullivan has received an unwarranted bad reputation here. He provides all of the resources that students need to learn the material. Previous quiz answers are on his website and he sends out economic scenarios to work through related to the next quiz. Not a hard class.

Awesome teacher. Yes there are quizes every monday but he gives you everthing you need and more to ace them. If you want to really learn and are willing to work a little bit, take this man's class.

An interesting class if you like Powerpoint. Very organized instructor. Has notes and pre-quizes available online. Very straightforward with down to earth examples. Easy to understand.

Great guy, class is hard no matter who teaches it. From my understanding easier than Pug teaching it. Needs to be a little clearer on quiz questions but overall a good professor.

I can't speak for the other classes that he teaches. But, I enjoyed him for GBA 300 and he was very helpful. I heard he was pretty easy compared to the other GBA 300 teachers. If you went to him he was always willing to help me and my group.

He was a little dull, but I did learn a lot in the class. I must say I didn't really appreciate the Monday morning quizzes, but if you study for just 20 minutes sunday night you'll get an A on them. I went into his office a few times and he was always willing to help or just chat--he's really a nice guy, but he does expect students to try.

Excellent teacher. People who complain about monday quizzes need to realize that the weekend does not overlap into monday. "Sounds Like somebody has a case of the mundays" (office space, yes and that is how it is spelled)

Great teacher. He is always willing to help you with problems in class. This class does take some effort but that little effort helps a lot. He provides past years quizzes online for students to study from. Excellent teacher.

Good teacher. Posts quizzes from previous semester online to help you prepare for quizzes. The weekly quizzes make you realize right away if you understand material or not. There are no exams (besides the final) just the weekly quizzes. Gives great examples that you can understand.

Have quiz everyday it helps you to learn the matrial better. If you show up to class everyday and study for the quizes he isn't too bad.

An excellent instructor with well-prepared notes. YES, he expects you to do your homework and attend class. But if you do, you'll learn a lot, since he is an excellent lecturer. I learned a lot fro this class!

Great teacher! Probably the best teacher I've had at SIUE. You have a quiz every week. But there are not test other than the final. Go to class, pay attention, and thats it. Not much studying required. Attendance not required. One paper, really easy. Final exam was short, about the size of four quizzes together.

I really liked Dr. Sullivan. He was a great professor who expected a lot out of his students, but who rewarded those who bothered to study and come to class. I don't understand why people failed the class; he offers pre-quizzes on his blackboard page every week, even for the final. Maybe more students should have tried SI?

This was an easy class. There are a lot of notes to print out each week, but you don't have test. You have quizzes each week worth 10 points. I really like him. If you can do simple Calc or Algebra you'll be fine. The final was a little curve ball that it was going to be easier but it wasn't and I got a B in the class. Great Teacher

Great professor! Attendance is NOT required but YOU SHOULD GO!! there is a quiz every week which makes you learn the material and practices are online!! DO THEM! do them homework too so that you don't forget what you previously learned and you'll do GREAT!

Econ is not for everyone. Definetly tried hard to help everyone understand. Took during Summer. Quizs every class during Summer. Attendance not necessary but would help. Don't complain if you do not go to class. Final was exactly like the quizs.

He is a very smart guy. He actually teaches things you should know. Though quizzes accounts for 60%, they are easy. You will actually enjoy this course.

Good teacher, there is homework which is actually kinda difficult but then two tests and the final. Open book, open notes on these tests...

Great Teacher! Very helpful and wants everyone to do well. The class is a lot of work but the 2 tests and the final are open note and open book. Still have to study though...cause it is hard!

One of the best at SIUE. Does not waste your or his time teaching useless material in text. This was my 3rd class with him all As. If you don't do well not much sympathy, sorry, maybe another field would be more interesting for you.

Dr. Sullivan was amazing!!!!! I had him for MS 251, the hardest class in the school of business by the way, and he was so helpful. Open book and open note test, but attendance is still mandatory because the class itself is a (female dog)

Honestly, I hardly ever showed up unless it was a Monday because that was a quiz day and homework needed to be turned in. I received an A by spending atleast an hour before each quiz studying his example quizzes, simple as that folks. MS251 is supposed to be an entirely different ballgame though.

Great Professor. He expects students to know how to do math taught in HS, so he is not going to baby you and walk you through the process each step of the way. He provides all the notes and is very organized. If you attend class and pay attention you shouldn't have any problems

Had him for three classes. If ur an Econ major try to get in his class. For those ppl from his ms251 class, I'd rather have Sullivan than Beck when those r ur two options. It's just a difficult class in general.

Simply put, if you have a 40 point homwork assignment, and only get 4 wrong 40 points off. Monster at grading. This is not fair.

in class homework assignments help alot, so go to class. He is a very easy going teacher and makes a class that is difficult, much easier. take in the summer if possible

He has very high standards grading the problem sets. You MUST follow the "best practices" in the notes. Tests are not that hard if you understand the material. SI sessions help for tests

This class was super easy, if of course you love math and calculations. He is very good at explaining and his examples are easy to get. He uses exactly what he teaches in class on his quizes.He will always give the easy stuff on the quizes, so if you dont get something thats weird looking and tooooooo dificult, dont worry it wont be on the test.:)

He is a good teacher and I felt that he did well on the material. But then again it is Econ... His quizes are a drag but the final was made up of 5 quizes

Dr. Sullivan is extremely precise. Starts class exactly to the minute and is always prepared. Very important to use his lecture notes and a good grade will be the outcome. Know the maps!

Sullivan explained material very clearly. Everything on quizzes were exactly like problems we did in class. Going into this class I was worried, but Sullivan did a good job of making difficult material easy.

Pretty easy course you just have to look at the power points 2-3 times before the quizzes and you should get 10/10's. 14 quizzes and 1 final exam. Simple enough just have to be willing to study a couple days ahead.

This class is pretty cool. Mr. Sullivan teaches this material very well and everything is off the powerpoints. 1 quiz a week with about 5 questions and a final of about 25 questions. I recommend him.

This guy is a straight up pro. The reason most complain about 251 is because they aren't willing to put in the amount of effort it requires. He's trying to prepare people for real life situations. There is no partial credit in the workplace and he doesn't offer it here. He is very clear. Be precise down to the font size required. Seriously.

Very good professor. Did an excellent job teaching difficult material.

I attribute my passing to having Sullivan. He is a tough grader but he lets you use ALL notes on ALL tests (including all prior tests on the final) He uses real world examples in class. This is generally just a tough class - you have to attend to know and understand the material. If you skip class, don't even bother and do liberal arts or something

He is a tough grader, but if you go to class it will be fine. He teaches in such a way beneficial to the real world.

He's extremely knowledgeable and teaches in a way that you can easily understand. The class consisted of 19 quizzes and were challenging at times. I would definitely recommend as long as you're willing to work for it. Not an easy class by any means, but you will pull off a decent grade if you invest enough time in the class.

He is an excellent teacher, tells you exactly what you need to do in order to pass his class (he means it), and after you have done research and cant find the answer he is more than happy to help. Wants to make sure you are putting in the effort to be successful

He's a difficult grader. If you get it wrong, it's wrong. No partial credit on anything. He does, however, allow you to use all of your notes on tests. Have the problems you work in class laid out neatly and organized because the quizzes are exactly what you did in class. Do the work, get the credit. The final has been aced too, it's possible.

T. Sullivan is a very routine guy. He comes in everyday and starts teaching at the exact start time of class. Class went along the same way every. single. day. Sometimes lectures got boring, but overall an interesting class. Quizzes once a week so prepare for these well and if you do on them you will get an A in the class.

He cares about his students and he is very knowledgeable. He can seem strict but deep down he's a good guy. MS251 is a difficult course but Sullivan thankfully allows you to use any and all of your notes to use on his quizzes. He even allows you to use old quizzes from previous semesters if you are lucky (or unlucky) enough to have them with you.

Great instructor who breaks down the material into easy-to-understand morsels. Really cares about his students and is willing to help outside of class.

Sullivan is one of the best professors I have had so far. He updates grades and coursework on BB. All the notes are on BB but you need to attend class in order to complete them. He allows notes to be used on quizzes and for the final we could use notes and quizzes. The final was exactly like the quizzes but with different numbers.

I would recommend Dr. Sullivan to anyone that needs to take MS 250 & 251. He cares about his students and is willing to help outside of class. Pay attention to the quiz prep and ask questions when needed. He lets you use anything on quizzes and the final except for phones, etc. If you don't attend you will not do well on the quizzes and final.

Although MS251 is a tough course, Sullivan gives you more than what you need to succeed. Work out quiz scenarios ahead of time and attend class MOST of the time and it is a very manageable course. Material applies to real world scenarios which I found to be extremely interesting.

Sullivan is a very straightforward guy. Lectures are the same and lab days are really helpful, but not mandatory. There is a quiz every week over what was covered the week before, but gives you a quiz prep for every one. I really enjoyed this class and would recommend Sullivan if you want to really understand stats.

This class is so much work. So much work. Lab and SI days are unnecessary. Attend class or else you will fail the AandP quizzes. For quizzes, so the scenario to consider on the quiz prep. Its a lot of work, but it will give you nearly every answer on every quiz, including the exam. Sullivan means well. But he is a spaz. He needs to chill way down

Took the 8 week long MS 251 online course. Yes, there is lots of homework, BUT the homework does a very good job of preparing you to ace the modules. Even though this was the "weed out" course, sullivan does give you the tools you need to succeed. If you aren't succeeding in this class, it's because you are not trying hard enough. Work for it!

one of the best professors I have had at SIUE. He is dedicated to properly teaching and being a very down to earth professor who tells you how it is. roughly 4 quizzes a week with clear and easy grading criteria with steps to help you pace out the work to make it easier. He allows you to work ahead to finish the class early. In person not mandatory

He will do everything possible for you to succeed. All quizzes and final exam are multiple choice and online. You can use your notes and presentations as well. You won't be able to see your mistakes, but can retake them infinite amount if times. There's also an enrichment session (optional to attend) that will help you grasp the material.

This class can be challenging, but Professor Sullivan provides helpful tools to succeed. The frequent quizzes are tough, but the lecture notes and optional enrichment sessions make up for it. unstuck AI was a lifesaver for studying.
