He was an amazing professor. I definitely take him again. He doesn't use the textbook, he gives us notes that he has done for us and make sure to study for the tests. Overall, fun professor, funny as well.

Comment:

Good professor overall. He gives 7 tests throughout the semester. Gives at least 30 pages of notes to study for most of the tests rather than giving a clear review guide on what we should know. This was the worst part of his class and I found it to be discouraging when trying to study so much notes. You need to put in a lot of effort to pass.

Comment:

Taking his class currently and am genuinely sad that he isn't teaching 102 next semester. He's a hilarious professor and makes me enjoy astronomy more than I already did. Class grade is test based, so as long as you study and listen during his lectures, you'll do fine. Very sarcastic and witty; I'm going to miss his class!

Absolutely loved this professor. His lectures were both interesting and funny and i actually looked forward to going to his 3 hour long classes. Sarcastic sense of humor but he is a really nice guy. Take one of his classes if you can; i miss astronomy with him.

He's a great professor. Makes class enjoyable. If you don't put in the work and study, you won't get a great grade. I did not study as much as I should have because I had other priorities. I took Astronomy in High School and absolutely hated it, so taking this class and actually loving it and looking forward to it every week was unexpected. 10/10

Even though with some tough students, Professor Kulkosky endeavors to make class fun and interesting. His grading is completely fair and if you genuinely do the work (which isn't unreasonable at all) then you'll pass, no problems!

Kulkosky was a pretty good teacher. Lets you know up front what to expect from the class and the test. Likes to go off topic sometimes but you still get work done. Would highly recommend

Comment:

Didn't mind going to class even though it was 3 hours of lecture because he managed to have you laughing from time to time and was fine with breaking away from lecture to talk about other stuff. He called to warn me that it wouldn't be easy being that I took the class that was one day a week - he wasn't lying. Would take again just to talk to him.

Comment:

He mostly goes over the labs with you in the class as you go along though a few he does expect you to do as homework, it's all reading. His grades are mostly on tests The lectures are great. If you're a sci fi geek we tended to go off on side tangents on if something should have really worked in a sci fi movie compared to what we were learning.

Kulkosky is one of the top professors I've had in Suffolk. If you don't have photographic memory you NEED to print out and study the notes. He has his notes on his website for every topic, you just need to print them out, easy. STUDY! Test are fairly difficult in my opinion. No textbook just have to purchase the Lab packet. Take this class!

Such a loveable guy! Makes funny jokes and references when he sees the class's attention drifting. Just pay attention in class and study and you should be fine.

Comment:

Awesome professor! Very laid back, but not boring. Manages to make a three hour class fly by. Doesn't make you buy an unnecessary and expensive textbook. Rather, we buy lab packets for about $15 and use them nearly every class. Tests are a bit challenging, but he's always willing to help. Pay attention and you'll do well. Overall,a great professor!

The best professor to have had for my last semester at Suffolk! You don't need to buy a textbook, only the labs that you actually use. He gives you all the notes on his website. He is so nice, very helpful and easy to joke with! Had a really good time in class and learned things that I still remember! Will miss his class!
