He's overall a nice guy. Amuses himself alot. Class was fairly easy. If you go to class and do the work (reading) its hard to get a bad grade in the class.

nice guy...actually makes poli. interesting!...easy A if you just pay attention and read a little

great professor

Mr. Tully is a great instructor. He can get off topic a little, by telling about his own poli science experiences. But I found most of his stories interesting, and noticed he kept most of the class interested with non-boring lectures.

Tests weekly and gives most of the answers in lecture. Tests aren't cumulative. HW sometimes in class-so free points. If this isn't your subject and you need an easy/good grade take Tully! Really nice guy don't know what these people are talking about

Not a bad teacher at all...a really nice guy. Not hard at all to get a good grade. Don't even have to read the book for the most part. I got a B and never read. Does go off topic a little, but it's not bad. Always get out early.

He is not bad at all.He is pretty lenient toward grading.Homework are done in class, he gives out extra points every now and then, and tests are multiple choice based on most readings.On his lectures he points out what will be tested.Quiz weekly.

Such an easy teacher! He's very down to earth and speaks to you as if you're on the same level. I NEVER read and just listened to what he would say in class and ended up with a B! His quizes are short, but usually easy,I did****TY on 3 and still got a B

Not a very hard teacher. Keeps his lectures interesting, tests are based on lecture and also on reading but he goes over the reading in class as well. Easy for me to get an A from, didn't expect anything unreasonable, and when no one in the class did well in the test, he took the blame. :-)

Very nice teacher, not very understanding if you are absent and miss an assignment but that's my only complaint. His class is extremely easy, I opened my text maybe twice the entire class and I got an A. He's a lot of fun to talk to and if you're up to date with news then he'll love you.

Excellent, helpful. Read the material and you will do very well.

Solid on presidency and legislative branch, could use some work on judicial. Good man with solid values and not intimidating. Tully is cool if you establish rapport with him

He's a good teacher. He's not the hardest teacher, but he's not the easiest either. Quite a bit of reading, but take his class, cause he's a good teacher.

I liked him, he's kinda of weird, but all teachers kinda are, he's really into politics and i liked that. there is a lot of reading in his class, but u don't really even have to do it cause his leactures are what are really on the test, and i also really liked his leactures

Tully is a great teacher. Most of his quizzes are based on the lecture, so be sure to pay attention in class and take notes. The style of teaching is somewhat unconventional, but it works pretty well. I really enjoyed being in his class.

He's cool. You don't have to work too hard and even though he's not always clear in explaining something, you'll figure out out from the readings. It's also good to have a teacher that loves their subject and he was really passionate about it.

quite hard but somewhat helpful

Great teacher! He explains clearly, if you don't study of course you will have a bad grade. He gives you great opportunities to have a good great. You learn a lot and he is not boaring. Of course, if you are not a good student you will think he is not good.

Mr. Tully is the best teacher for Pol 1! If you want a fun and creative class, take this one. You don't get board and he is fair grading.

very ez...i really mean it...u might not enjoy his lec..but u'll be very much hapy with ur score n grade n thats wat is necess..in the end..rite??

Mr. Tully was a joy to have as an instructor. He covered a lot of information in a short period of time and made it of interest. I recommend this professor

He started off great. Super easy because he lectures only on what's going to be on the quizzes. Then, just before the quiz, he gives you the answers to the concepts he skipped. At the end, he got a little stressed and strung out. GPA booster for GE, but not good for PoliSci majors.

He is a good teacher. If you're interested in politics (why else would you take this class?), you'll enjoy his class a lot. An easy A if you pay attention to lecture and do the reading.

He makes puns and cracks at politicians, then squints his eyes, bites his tongue as it sticks out, and nods feverishly in a laugh to himself as if he was the only one with the sophistication to understand it. Everyone else got it, just only he laughed. He also slides in his own politics, saying "in my humble opinion" to keep the class neutral.

i liked him. He was amusing, didnt try at all to act like a professor. if you have questions during lecture he would always re-explain if needed. Hes a nice guy that did like to hear everyone talk. He would tell you to write certain things down specifically cuz theyd be on the quiz. Yes, a little strange but id take him again.

I actually learned politics in his class. Yes, his class is sometimes boring, but he is a good teacher. He really cares about students working full-time jobs so he really makes class easy. Just show up, take notes, and study for the quizzes. It's easy. And he'll help you if you ever need it. Very nice man.

I took his Poli1 class and got an A. It's hard to NOT get an A. Very easy going teacher, with a great sense of humor. People just need to make themselves available to LEARN not just sit in class, you need to be PRESENT!

pretty chill teacher. he has some interesting remarks, says "in my humble opinion" a lot haha he truly loves the field. take good notes and read you should be able to get a B. i think he drops a test and a quiz score. class was okay.

He is a coffee addict but made poli sci worthwhile. Read the book and take good notes he basically gives u all the answers to the test. NO papers and plenty of discussions..i was supposed to get a b but he gave me an a instead. Easiest poli 1 teacher ever. As long as you take notes you should get an A

He's funny, charming makes poly not so boring. TAKE HIM he gives you the test questions! take good notes and read the book. You have to be pretty dumb not to get an A

I thought Tully was a pretty cool guy. I was surprised to see negative reviews. I got an A in the class, taking it 330-510, we usually got out at 430/445. I would recommend this class to anyone who will take time to study a little for tests. No homework, and about 4 tests.

Mr Tully is a really great guy. He is clear, understanding, and goes through everything perfectly. If you are interested in polisci, take him. He used to be a senator aide and worked in D.C. He is really great and the only ones who have a problem are the ones who dont really try/dont care about getting a good grade. If you care, you will get an A.

i think he is easy...just come to class everyday...take down notes and study, you will get an A...simple

One word for Tully? Average. Average teacher, average lessons. Not bad, but not great. Listen, if you're majoring in Poli Sci, then get a better teacher-but most of us are trying to get our CSU requirement, and he's a good teacher to help you do that. Easy tests, easy hwk, easy grader.

Gives ample opportunity for "extra credit" took his class 1.5 times but got an A the last time! He can't help the moron factor which seems prevalent at this institution!

Mr. Tully is a great teacher. His lectures are based around the exams and you would have to be an idiot to fail his class. Make sure you attend class everyday and don't be late! Other than that, it is an EASY, fun class.

He is an average person. I just got a" B" in this class. You need to do a lot of reading and be prepared for the exam.

Good extremely fair professor. Though at first thought he was too much into the minutia of American Government but I actually walked away having learned something about American Government! Much better than my AG prof at SJSU where i got a D. In Tully's class an A! Which just proves he is a quality teacher!

he is just a fun guy very easy, all you have to do is read his notes from the class that is it. he has a smiley face all the time which is just fun.very helpful.

he's nice and laidback. everything is straightforward if you just pay attention to the lecture notes and read the textbook

Funny

I dropped a political science class before, because I hate politics. Tully made it interesting and relevant. Class is based on lecture notes and chapter readings. This is college, expect readings and notes.

I don't like Political Science at all, but his leactures and slides really helped. Just put a little effort and pay attention and you should get a freakin A or B. Its literally easy. most questions on the exams are off his notes and slides.I actually enjoyed class with him. If i Could I would take another class with him.

Average. Very challenging material, but if you work hard, you'll reap what you sow. Show up every day, and on time, or you will miss material that WILL be on the test.

At first, Dave was hard to follow but I found him very easy Fall Quarter 2012. He's easy to follow and understand. His exams are very easy. I got a B in his class. If you want a good grade, take him! He's very good and easy.

At first, Dave was hard to follow until I found him very easy in the Fall Quarter 2012. He's very easy to follow and understand. His exams are very easy and his class was very easy. I got a B in his class. If need a good grade (A or B), take him! He's here to teach you and show you the slides and the lecture. Just go to his class, attend and take notes from the board and the slide. Then study from the notes and the textbook for every exam, then you'll do fine!

Mr. Tully is an awesome teacher. He really cares for the students to learn. His exams are fairly easy and grades reasonably. Must attend class and take notes. Be ready to read and use study guides its very helpful.

took his summer class and it was the easiest class ever. we had a quiz every week but they were extremely easy. go to class, take notes and study before the exam. He is the easiest teacher for poli sci in de anza! take him!

He is really nice and knowlegable. He really cares about teaching and it shows. He is one of the best teachers I have ever had at De Anza. He drops one of the exams and his test are easy as long as you take good notes and read the text.

I was lucky to have Dave in his class. His class was very easy. In the end of my days, I'd recommend Dave for those who need a good grade must take him. He will teach you very important and good material, lecture on the board and slides. You take good notes, then you study from the notes and the textbook, too. Show that you will do great!

It's a good class, and I would recommend it only if you are willing to attend all the lectures. Take notes and pay attention and you are guaranteed at least a B. He really tries to encourage students to work hard in school (sounds cliche but it's kinda helpful to be honest) While trying to be very understanding and kind.

I know De Aza doesn't really have good POLI 1 professors because most of them require you to do some community service, research papers, and discussion. However, in Tully's class, you won't deal with any of them mentioned above. Simply six tests, easy homework, and the final exam. I would say his class is very simple and definitely not a bad choice

He is such a kind person. Very patient and always tries to be understanding. It's a show up and listen, take notes kinda class. I'd probably recommend it. He let's you out early a lot too

Great professor. 5 midterms. But you'll do fine has long as you read over you notes. He is very straight forward he tells you what to expect and what to stupid. Makes everything very clear. Final has a big impact on your final grade. Don't pass the final don't pass the class. But final is the same length as the midterms so you'll do fine.

This online course is easy as hell. 5 assignments that are opened every 2 weeks, answers are very easy to find. I think he changed his previous curriculum which is why there are some negative reviews in previous years. no final! no midterm! i may have gotten 108% TAKE TULLY
