Comment:

One of the most influential individuals I have ever met. The independent study course that he and I created required that we work one-on-one regularly, and every meeting was challenging, enlightening, and refreshing. Although he is a psychology professor, he had the biggest influence on my writing style of any faculty member I worked with.

Comment:

There's often one class that you remember from college as "the killer." Wulff's Lab in Assessing Individual Differences was it for me. Having been through TWO grad programs in other disciplines I can honestly say this was the hardest course I've ever taken.

Comment:

Professor is too intelligent to teach students. He cannot convey what he is trying to say, everything is too abstract, and he is known as a serial GPA murderer around the school. He has no problem failing a student who has worked his or her butt off the entire semester.

Comment:

His exams and review sheets are rediculous. His discussion is far too abstract for an intro class and i am not interested in doing any psychology

Comment:

I had Prof Wulff and though I found him very approachable and nice, I regret taking the course. I am normally an A/B student and although I worked very hard in his class, I received my first ever C+. I would not recommend him to other students as I found his advice unhelpful and it was difficult to improve in the class.

His teaching style is complex and too abstract. You feel like you cannot relate. His tests are graded harshly and he is not clear.

Comment:

This class is TERRIBLE! If you have never taken a class with Wulff, I STRONGLY advise you NOT TO! His textbook is outrageous, and his concepts are ridiculous! I was more interested BEFORE taking the class, and he has ruined psychology for me! My friend switched majors because of him! Study guides take 10 hours to complete, and avg grade is a C!

Comment:

Really sweet guy. Incredibly brilliant, so he has high expectations for his students. Tough grader, but if you show interest and go to his office hours, he'll give you all the help you need. Not an easy class, abstract concepts, but very interesting

Comment:

I had Wulff for 241,400. He was hard and scrutinizing, and he'll give you a run for your money-and I like that. He is willing to work with you, and eager to. If you want to learn a lot, take his class; if you want an easy A, take a pass, or save $ and skip college. Also, if you get a chance, although grueling, read some of his published material.

Comment:

Wulff scares many people away with his abstract thinking, but I find it fascinating and eye-opening. He brings up topics that you otherwise wouldn't explore, and has you read great articles. He's a hard grader, but is willing to revise a paper with you before it's due so you CAN get a good grade, if you put some effort in.

Comment:

OMG!!! He is as dry as toast. All he does is talk about himself so don't expect to get any good notes. His test review sheets much like everything else he does are elusive and long. I didn't like his class and he is difficult.

Comment:

Wulff kicks ass. Anyone who doesn't liek him doesn't like to be challenged and is just trying to come up things to exaggerate and bash about him. He's extremely smart and you will learn alot if you accept that you are going to have to work hard for an A or B and not whine about it. He likes to go off on tangents, but they are always interesting.

Comment:

prof. wulff is extremely narcissistic and his class is extremely boring. He used his own book for class, because there are no other good ones, yet his book is so dense for a textbook, and way too hard to read. It goes into too many unnecessary details. his paper topics are unclear and your chances og getting an A are slim. Good luck with this one.

Comment:

His personality psych class was the best class I've taken in college. Prof. Wulff's dedication to psychology and amazing intellect place him head and shoulders above any professor I've ever had. I look forward to writing a thesis next year under his guidance. We need more people like him in educatio

so its not an easy A... but that definately does not mean you should stay away from the class. I learned a ton from him, and he is helpful enough that if you find the time to meet with him, you will do well. All in all a worthwhile challenge.

Comment:

David Wulff is a tough and challenging professor -- and I loved his class! This is a professor who I felt demanded my best, and he got it. I worked damn hard in his class but I learned a tremendous amount. He was always helpful, kind and generous when I sought him out. Thanks Prof.!
