John is a very caring professor and you get the impression that he cares about your progress. The class is divided into three "portfolios," with a few other assignments that sometimes feel like busy work. Overall, Professor Mulvihill gives great feedback and is a fun lecturer and I would highly recommend it to anyone who must take English 100.Rate My Professors ↗

I really enjoyed having Professor Mulvihill this semester, he gives very good feedback when needed and really cares about his students. I will say there are a good amount of assignments assigned on canvas, however they are all manageable. If you are looking for a good professor for English, I would totally recommend Professor Mulvihill.Rate My Professors ↗

Very professional class. Dr. Mulvihill really cares that you become a better writer. Class was more writing heavy than reading, which I really liked. We had 1 on 1 meetings to go over drafts of every writing assignment which was awesome. Take the class seriously and you'll do well and learn a lotRate My Professors ↗
