This professor is not too bad. His lectures are a bit boring but if you try to engage and ask questions, youll be fine. His exams are fair and multiple choice. I barely went to class and still got a B- because he stops doesnt take attendance after the first 2 weeks and the slides are on blackboard. Hes sweet and sometimes funny :)

Really good professor, he does not give us homework, is not strict with attendance and is fun to listen to him talk honestly. you can learn from him. He is a simple professor and that"s what i like about him. his class is easy, just study the pp slides and you will pass.

This professor is a really bad one, he only cares about the test grades not even the reaction papers he makes us do I feel like it doesn't count towards your grade.

Prof. Culkin is a cool professor. Lots of extra credit opportunities, though tests can be tough at times. Would recommend for the most part

If you are a slow learner, and need time to improve I would not recommend, fist test literally EVERYONE failed he had to give us extra credit just because it was his "wort test", I ended up dropping the class. If you are naturally smart take the class but if you need extra help don't take and you MUST STUDY!!!! text book could be helpful

Great Professor! Def. knows what he is talking about! Very clear and understandable! You MUST get the textbook and print out the slides, so you can study from them! I recommend to take three classes a week with him because after the first hour and a half it gets kind of boring, but he tires to keep it interesting with his jokes! He's funny!

He doesn't care for students much, he had 5 major essay and 10 short essays. He doesnt write notes really, uses slies and alot of them. Best bet is to stdudy alot or have a good memory plus do your essays.

So iam taking him now for summer class . Day one he is very entertaining in class. Very easy topics for psychology. I think i had tougher topics in high school. By the way he doesnt write for****t but uses slideshows. He gives 3 exams one every week. No finals. So every week i let you know guys about him and how am i doing.

Great professor. Slides help learn the material. But, his exams are hard. I got a C+ because of my exams. Interesting as a writing intensive.

He was the "WORST" Professor, I ever had. Took notes, read the chapters and whatever you studied, was never on the exams. Boring class.

He's a very good professor. He's clear with his lessons/notes & he gives you notes that he made in the beginning of the semester to make it easier if you don't understand what he said in class. Plus he gives you practice tests so you can see what kind of questions will be on the actual test. Just read the book & study his notes.
