Comment:

Every class has the same format for the most part, which can get to be pretty repetitive. Your grade is primarily based on four papers and an occasional pop quiz on that day's reading. She's a nice teacher but is kind of quirky. I would highly recommend using ACE for your papers.

Very nice woman, but I wish her grading made more sense. Never really understood why i got the grades i got. you tend to do the same things every class. shes a nice lady and can be funny sometimes but class is a little dry. i do like her as a person but can be intimidating occasionally

Kuhlman is a decent professor. She is very smart and has good insight but her class can be dry. You tend to do the same thing every class.

you need to attend class and read everything she tells you to read for class. Her final is cumulative so you have to remember EVERYTHING we did in class. Most other professors just give an essay, but she gives an actual exam that's kinda long.

Kuhlman is a great professor. There are occasional pop quizzes and 4 essays. If you ask her for help and go to her office hours, she is very helpful and helps lead you to what to write on your papers. Just go to office hours and get help with papers and you'll do well... and READ! It's important. I hate reading but the class wasn't hard at all.

She is a very fair grader and is willing to work with you. There are no tests just papers which is good since you can meet with her to discuss them when you need to. There was no textbook but you did need to get a few novels which was fine since you can rent them all from the bookstore.

Comment:

She's pretty good. Stay true to her rubrics and you'll get a good grade. She's a little bit unique, she has a different take on things than what you'd expect, especially when it comes to interpreting texts. Overall, she's really nice and the class isn't that hard at all. If you're looking for an LCS teacher, she would be a pretty good choice.

Ms. Kuhlman is an amazing professor. I had her for my literary and cultural studies class, and I was in an honors section. She definitely makes us work for the grade. She makes the class fun, and all the students are heavily involved. She's one of the best people I have ever met, and my favorite professor.

Comment:

The Honors course was not that hard. There were four books that we read, but two were graphic novels. There are no tests only papers. If you go to her office with a rough draft she will read it and guide you in the right direction. Do this and you'll get a good grade on the papers!

Comment:

Not your "Easy A" teacher, prepare for some effort. But as long as you show interest, MK will ensure your success. She is always available to discuss paper drafts, and her corrections will most likely get you top grades (if you do your best to incorporate them). Interesting class & if you're into literature this is the teacher I would go for.

I thought Professor Kuhlman was an excellent teacher. I like to write, so she was the perfect teacher for me. Participation is such a huge part of your grade, so as long as you raise your hand and talk a lot, she will like you, and you are bound to get a good grade. Fair and square grader. I recommend her if you like to write.

Comment:

Her assignments are interesting for the most part and relevant to other courses. Doesn't assign too much at one time, gives good amount of time in between assigned papers. She has a very thorough syllabus, and is always welcoming students to her office hours. Participation is a good part of your grade, expect some sort of quiz once a week.

Extremely helpful and approachable. She encourages student input for class assignments and lets you help dictate the structure of the course so that it is enjoyable and valuable to you. The course demands hard work, but that is what college is about! You work hard but you get a lot out of it. She is a great professor and I definitely recommend her

Comment:

Martha Kuhlman is great, she is incredibly helpful. You can tell she loves what she teaches and if you go to her for office hours to review your papers it almost guarantees an A!Final test is simply stuff taken from notes during class. I got an A by somewhat paying attention and going to her office hours for my papers!

Comment:

Do Not take Martha Kulman if you do not like English. There is a lot of reading to do. She choses the worst books to read. And has a final exam as well as opposed to some of the other LCS 121 teachers who do not give finals. The worst part about it is that her exam is cumalative. Every 2nd class is a POP up QUIZ. ENJOY
