Incredibly rude when trying to communicate about grades and extremely strict with deadlines. Condescending tone when asking for clarification about his word heavy tests. Do NOT recommend this class at all.

The most unhelpful, condescending, and unprofessional professor. INCREDIBLY strict on deadlines and word counts with absolutely no exceptions IN THE MIDDLE OF A PANDEMIC! All his assignments have so much information that its hard to keep straight what youre supposed to do. Regardless, he expects 1000000% effort from his students with 1% in return

The class had three assignments and the mid term and final.. Tests are not easy and lectures are heavy on information and hard to follow..

Idk why y'all are trippin with the bad reviews. This man is a super relaxed professor and not as bad as everyone says he is. I usually don't review profs but seeing all the negativity and disrespect put on this mans name is not right. ALthough this class is being taken during RONA, his classes are asynchronous and super easy and straightforward.

I was hesitant to take his class because of the bad reviews but I love music and subject sounded really cool. I have no idea what's with the bad reviews I think his lectures were super interesting and the assignments were not difficult and actually enjoyable. Obviously this was a different situation because its online due to Corona but I loved it.

Just dont take it if you can. I wish I could rate him 0

The guy honestly has the worst powerpoints of all time, I'm surprised he is still allowed to lecture how he does. Very unprofessional and unorganized.

when he explains debatable topics. you can tell that his purpose is not to deliver knowledge neutrally but to support one side and critique the other side. Its annoying when he said colonization is a win-win situation. The colonized countries had their properties took away and ppl were forced to be slaves. Its one side abusing the other.

just midterm final, all multiple choice. super unorganized slides and a terrible lecturer. and doesn't post them... well doesn't really matter if you write everything down anyways because I thought I was so well prepared for the final and it was probably one of the hardest finals I have ever taken. super disappointed in this course :/

Mullin is by far the hardest class I took at UCSB. I took away nothing from his class when I was finished with it. If you have to take his class, just drop out instead... You'll learn more than showing up to this class.

Doesnt post lectures. No textbook. No study guide. Good luck to anyone who takes him

go to his office hours, record his lectures, get a study group and know about Politics- there are two multiple choice test- around 45 questions- A lot of material- each question are like three sentences long- very hard to see what he is asking- answers are sooo similar- I am sorry just avoid this class and any class he teaches :/
