Comment:

Professor Kulikowski is a good guy and is absolutely brilliant. His class was very lecture heavy and didn't use a powerpoint, so make sure you take good notes. There were three essay exams and two 7-10 page analytical document papers. He's a fair grader and if you improve over the course of the semester, he will take that into consideration.

Comment:

Mark is such a great guy. His lectures were always really easy to follow despite there never being any notes provided. That being said, you do have to actually show up to class and actually listen to what he is saying, which isn't hard. He is very laid back and easy going. 10/10 would recommend him to anyone considering taking a class with him.

Comment:

Mark is a very nice and understanding guy. His class is extremely lecture heavy. The only reason I wouldn't retake his class is because I found it to be boring. It probably wasn't even him, but the material was boring.

Comment:

Dr. K is a chill professor and nice guy. Few go to his office hours but it can help to go a couple of times to get an A on the final (5 page) paper that is a book review. You can easily get an A without the textbook, if you take good notes during lecture.

Comment:

Dr. Kulikowski is wonderful and absolutely brilliant. He's an amazing lecturer who makes the material really interesting and he's one of the most knowledgeable people at Oswego. There are only two book reviews and three tests, which aren't difficult if you study. If you're looking for an interesting but not difficult history class, he's your guy.

I've had about 6 classes with Kulikowski and overall an awesome guy! Can get a little boring if you don't like history or lecturing but his tests are easy, he's a fair grader, and he knows a lot about what he teaches. Definitely would recommend this professor!

Good class, but you have to pay attention. Kulikowski does not put up a powerpoint or ANY notes on the board, you are responsible for listening to him and writing what you think is important. Tests are essay format, kind of tough. Have to write a 5-7 page book review. Overall great guy but kind of oblivious to what goes on in class by students

Comment:

Kulikowski is the best. I took his 330 as just an upper level elective and it was a breeze. He gave 3 essay exams and 2 seven page book reviews and that was your grade. You don't really even have to look at the text book. Show up to lecture, take notes, and it's an easy A.

Comment:

Kulikowski was great and his class was super easy. He does tend to ramble a lot but he is probably one if the most genuine, down to earth professors at SUNY Oswego. Just take good notes and put good effort into your final paper tests and you'll be fine.

Boring lectures in which he easily gets off topic, only grades are three in-class essays and a five page book review in which you have all semester to do. easy to get off topic and see everyone in class on facebook.. just study the material in the week leading up to the test and you'll do fine--easy grader.

This class was very simple. Go to class, read, listen to his lectures, and take exam. If you paid any attention in World History in 9th grade; it should be a breeze.

Easy course. Went to class, signed in, and left immediately in about 80% of classes and still got good grades. Only 4 grades, 3 tests and a book review. Study for the tests, not extremely hard. Book review is a joke, I didnt even read the book and got an A. If you pay attention in class, easy A. If you slack off, just study for tests & you'll be ok

Comment:

THE worst professor I have had. His lectures are literal ramblings that repeat themselves over and over. His voice make you want to fall asleep. His essay exams have little relevance to the topics gone over in class and in the textbook. The questions he gives are hard to write more than a few short paragraphs on. I would refrain from taking it.

Easy class. Professor is super nice and easygoing. If youre not into history, this is for you. Take good notes and youre set! Maybe get the book but you don't have to if youre familiar w history and do the notes. Two easy book reviews that you dont need to read for and a few essay tests. Gen ed, filler, w/e, take it!!!

Love this guy. Nothing like a Kulikowski class!! Only 2 book reviews a semester where you dont have to even read the book, tests arent super easy but take good notes and youre set! Lecture is dull but not horrible. Take it, its worth it and fairly easy for a 300 level!!

Easy grader. Interesting lecturer. One of the best professors in Oz. I am taking another class with him just because he is the professor. 3 essays and 2 document analysis essays, but they're very easy. As long as you try, it's an easy A
