Spring 1998 Student Comments
"Dr. Mulligan is an excellent teacher."  "He explains the material in great detail and uses examples to help."  "The instructor was always prepared to teach and was ready to answer any questions."  "I think the instructor did an excellent job.  He was well prepared and very knowledgeable."  "He was always prepared for class and he is very fair."  "He is very knowledgeable on class material and enjoys teaching.  His enthusiasm reflects his overall excitement about the course."  "Dr. Mulligan has done a great job in getting the points across.  To me, this course is difficult and Dr. Mulligan gives every chance he can for myself and others to make a good grade.   I think that his tests are somewhat hard, however, he is one of the better professors I have had in my business major."  "It helped me out with Macro because I am taking both at the same time.  It helped me with the concepts for both classes."  "The instructor did an effective job.  Good examples are given and enough time is devoted to each subject."  "He has a great knowledge of economics and his examples are very effective."  "I do think this course was a beneficial educational experience.  It will help me as I continue business courses."  "He understands and explains the material well.  I learned a lot about today's economy and what factors influence it."  "Excellent job.  Made microeconomics as interesting as it could possibly be.  I learned a lot and have had no trouble with getting through the class."  "He was always prepared for class, easily accessible outside of class, but he needs to improve on his sense of humor.  (Although he tries extremely hard.)"  "I think Mulligan was a very good professor.  Especially when it came to exam time.  Every exam, he made sure we had a study session.  This showed his dedication and hard work as a professor."   "His testing methods were commendable and I believe it gave the students an incentive to keep fresh in mind what we learned earlier."  "I feel that I have not only learned a lot, but I have retained this knowledge."
