Mr. Sullivan transfered to the University of Calgary recently and he is very clearly passionate about economics. his lectures are engaging and he does a good job describing things. his lectures don't feel like they are long at all and his homework is graded based on completion. his tests are more than fair, just review his notes and you'll do fine.Rate My Professors ↗
He is clearly very knowledgeable and passionate about what he does. His exams and homework are reasonably challenging, and his lectures are very engaging. Very witty, kind, and great speaker. Take Econ with him and you will not regret it.Rate My Professors ↗
Professor Sullivan transferred to the University of Calgary and is honestly a great professor in my opinion. He is very passionate about his work and has amazing lectures. Although his lectures are quite confusing at times and very packed, he does a pretty good job explaining concepts. If you want to take his class, you have to be LOCKED IN.Rate My Professors ↗
he now teaches at University of Calgary he is very good at explaining things, but if you are not a locked in your hooped , it doesnt help that he hand draws his slides so good luck trying to understand them at home. he wont tell you how many qustions will be on mid terms or what you need to study, it would be great if he uploaded a study guideRate My Professors ↗
Sullivan was a good lecturer and the exams mainly focused on lecture content. There are only 3 exams and some homework that are graded but you will be prepared if you go to class and do the practice sets and example test. Overall he is very accommodating, understanding, and easy to talk to.Rate My Professors ↗
Take econ 101. This class is mostly microeconomics in regards to the content you had to learn except you do not get microeconomics credit. If you have to learn micro, might as well get the credit for it. Overall nice guy and good at explaining, but no textbook and lecture heavy. If you lose attention for a second, you're lost.Rate My Professors ↗
