Professor Sullivan was a tough grader. I couldn't get a perfect score on any paper no matter how hard i tried. If you show up to class, do the PA assignments you will do fine. There's no midterm or final, do not take out your phone during class! I managed to get B grades but still got a B in the class.

Awesome
Prof. O'Sullivan is easily one of the best instructors I've had. You can tell that he is passionate about teaching. Class isn't purely lectures because he encourages discussions that require critical thinking. Workload is fair. He is very understanding and he genuinely cares about his students. He'll do what he can to help you learn and succeed as long as you put in effort.
