She gives you the essay questions WAY in advance and encourages you to formulate your answers to them ahead of time. All her tests are essay which kind of sucks, but if you do the little bit of research it takes to formulate an answer it's not too hard.

Lecture

I loved her!! Her lectures are so fascinating, and its all essay tests, and she lets you prepare for them in advance. Take her if you can.

tests are essay, questions given before. readings due every friday, make sure u read them and participate in discussions, makes or breaks the class. if u participate, get on her good side (she has her favorites..and u know who they are), and do the readings, the class is awesome.

I have no clue why so many people rated her the way they have. I had her two years ago and she was amazing! I hate history and she made it come alive for me! She does not have favorites, she DOES care about students. She can be difficult but this is college remember! I TOTALLY recommend her!!!!!!!!

I ran into her the other day after two years and she invited me to her office to catch-up. She said she enjoyed staying in touch with her students! So to say she is does not care about her students is an asinine statement! I would recommend her to anyone who enjoys learning something interesting!

definitely plays favorites so kiss alot of ass and don't miss any classes and you'll be fine. class participation seems to be everything w/her so speak frequently even if its just "i agree with so and so but also blah blah blah". readings generally short and easy.

I dont see her playing favorites at all..her test are very fair..u dont really need the book jus read the primary sources and pay attention in class in you'll get As on the test like me..besides u have like 3 days to review the test

She is a pretty good teacher if you're not afraid to speak out. Participation, attendence, and asking for help during her hours is important to getting a good grade. She does give the questions out before the test, but just make sure you put what she wants.

Her tests are hard and you need to include ALOT of information, especially in making references to the primary sources she gives out in class, but she gives out the test ahead of time so a few hours spent in the library and you will have at least a B. She is definitely a tougher prof but approachable & A's are possible esp if you participate

She is a really nice lady but she does require a lot of reading and expects you to have a chapter read in 2 days. Her tests are pretty hard, she gives the essay questions out a head of time but this just makes it so she has very high expectations of what she wants in your answers.

You need to read the book and pay attention to her lectures to get at least a C on her test.She gives essay tests, but gives the questions out in advance. If you go to her during her office hours she will definitely help you with your essays. Also she likes when you participate in class.

She is a very nice lady. I was not interested in history before this class but i learned a lot in her class and now i have an interest. Her tests are 2 essays but she gives them to you before hand, and you get to pick what essays you want to do. i just read the chapters i needed for the essays. Go to her office hours to get help!

I really loved her class, as a history major that is focused on American history, the class wasn't too difficult. It's a lot of reading and there are essay tests that are timed (which is similar to AP), but the class is straight forward. I'd definitely recommend her to anyone who isn't afraid to work.

Krulikowski expects students to do the reading and participate in class. As long as you are respectful, you will get ALOT out of this class. If you don't like history, this is probably not the professor for you. As a history major, I loved this class and was glad I put in the effort to read because i learned alot and it boosted my GPA!

I took her class, "Urban America" during the summer. I LOVED HER...and the class was really interesting. Wonderful teacher, engaging and great sense of humor. Take her. You won't regret it! She's extremely bright, makes you think and funny as hell.

Class comprised of essay tests and discussion. If you are able to understand directions and read there is no reason why this class should be difficult. She id a fantastic lady who is knowledgeable and facilitates questions. If you think this class is hard, or don't like her, then you're not putting anything into the class.

Dr. K is a really nice person. It's obvious she is very passionate about the subject. But, she completely redid her classes. You have to read and answer analysis questions for pretty much every class and there are 5 analysis essays you have to write. It is a lot of work, but if you are up to is she is a good prof. Participate in class!

A very good teacher, lots of reading and writing for each class. It took some prep time from other classes. Worked hard all semester and final grade was A-.

She is a really nice lady. SHe requires a lot of reading but personally I found it easy to get around reading the text book by googling things. She gives essay test and you get the test questions prior to the test. Participate in class and sound like you read the material (even if you didn't) and you will be fine!

She's not a bad person or prof. but her essay tests can be brutal. I feel like you could never shove enough facts in it. Always B's at best. Yet she was a much easy grader on my papers If you like history it can be interesting. She can be a little awkward to approach but not nasty. Altogether a decent professor.

TAKE HER she's so nice and LOVES history which really comes through in her class. also her tests come directly from the online quizzes that she tells us to take!! her class isn't mandatory and you can still do well even if you don't go! i love this teacher, take her class!

Lectures are very interesting and you can see how much she loves what she teaches. If you do the readings and practice tests you'll be fine. I was lazy the first half of the semester so I didn't do too well but I would def take her again. I was undeclared before her class, and now history is my major because she made me love it so much.

I don't know why her reviews are so negative, she is AMAZING! I absolutely loved her class and I always hated history classes before. A lot of reading, but she gives easy quizzes to bump up your grade. Tests are sole essay, but she gives you 3 essay options 2 weeks ahead of time. I would take her again and again if I needed anymore history credits!

She was my favorite professor last semester. She is a bit of a tough grader, but go to her office hours, and she will help you earn an A. Once you figure out what she's expecting on her essay-based tests, it's easy to get an A- that is, with a lot of studying and hard work. I did learn a lot, and she was very helpful.

Dr. K is such a sweet lady and so helpful! I had her for HIS 150 and have her now for HIS 344. She really enjoys helping her students and her classes are so interesting! I would recommend her to anyone!

Dr. Krulikowski was a great professor! She taught me so much more and was very helpful. The ratings of her being hard and difficult are from people who are lazy! If you do the work and participate in class you will get an A! TAKE HER CLASS!

Dr. Krulikowski was a good professor overall. You have to do readings from the textbook for the quizzes, and you have to work really hard on her papers, especially the county history paper, but she is always willing to help if you are struggling! Work hard and you'll get an A in the class!

only had to write short 2 pg papers on readings- no tests. makes it interesting. shes quiet but very nice if you ask for help or want to talk to her about anything history related

Dr. Krulikowski is so passionate about this subject! She's very easy to talk to and most of the classes are just discussion. As long as you participate, she'll love you! Three long papers but she gives a lot of time to work on them. A lot of quizzes on the chapters made by students so become close to your classmates! You need the textbook.

Professor K was always kind to the class. She expects you to have all the reading done, and her tests are all based off the readings. She also encourages class discussions and they can be very interesting.

Professor K was always kind to the class. She expects you to have all the reading done, and her tests are all based off the readings. She also encourages class discussions and they can be very interesting. Don't skip class, she sends around an attendance sheet.

She is super easy and pretty much sets up the class for you to get an A. Theres a vocab quiz once a week and 7 primary source analysis papers due by the end of the semester. Quizzes are easy and there aren't any tests. Even if you do bad in the class (which is pretty hard to do) Krulikowski works with you to get a higher grade.

Prof. Krulikowski's HIS 150 class is very lecture heavy and there is homework that is due every class. It is set up so you have freedom to choose when you would like to turn in homework, as long as at the end of the semester you have completed a certain amount. There are also NO TESTS! If you do the homework well and show up, you will get an A.

Anne focuses more on trying to make you learn about American History and take something away from the class rather than shelling out test after test and making you stressed out. You need the book but its a good class for an elective and you can actually get something out of it.

Her teaching method is discussion heavy. She wants students to talk about what they learned from the readings rather than have her stand in front of the class and lecture. There were some lectures, but most classes were open discussion. Lots of papers, at least one every other week. Her teaching style is not for everyone, but she's good at it.

No tests or quizzes, grades are based on chapter questions (15 a semester, 2 questions, paragraph each question), Primary source analysis' (8 a semester, 2 pages each), Speech research paper (5 page paper, 3-5 minute in class presentation), and final speech paper (5-7 pages). Easy A just do the work!!

Dr. Krulikowski is amazing! She doesn't give tests or quizzes in this class but there is homework due every class. You either have questions from the textbook that you need to answer or analyze a primary source. It can be a lot of work but it is manageable. The final is an essay which is really nice too

If you aren't good at tests/quizzes this would be the class for you, she grades based on effort. Shes incredibly understanding and kind as well. As long as you get the homework assignments/primary sources done, you'll get a good grade. And, homework assignments took me about 15 min, while not as frequent primary sources took me around 30.

Krulikowski is a great professor. The work load is very doable and she will always offer advice when needed. She wants to see you make an effort, it is part of the grade. If you show up and make it known you care about the class you will get an easy A. She is extremely knowledgeable and interesting to listen to during lectures.

Dr. K gets such a bad rep, and she's actually really easy if you read what she asks and try your best. Seriously, just do the readings and show up! Her class is based on papers, and if you're a history major, you should know how to write. If you are a diligent student, she'll love you! I've had her for 152 and upper levels, and the work is the same

Amazing Professor. Super helpful with anything and everything. So kind and easy to talk to about anything. Any questions you have she makes it so easy to ask.

Dr. K is available and helpful for students who want to learn and do well in the class. Do not come to class, sit on your cell phone, and not participate. Engage in the conversation and show you care and you will do well. There are no tests, it is a writing based course. If she asked for 5-7 sentences, write a few more sentences and clearly explain

Professor K is not an easy professor but that doesnt mean shes not a good one. She grades hard but if you take the feedback she gives you seriously she notices that and will credit you for it. The assignments are easy and straightforward. You have to be willing to put in the work but if you do, you will pass. She def improved my writing skills.

History majors: don't let these negative reviews scare you off of Dr. Krulikowski. She's a perfectly fine professor to have. I took her material culture class in Fall '22, and I liked it a lot! Get ready for a lot of out-of-class reading and writing, but in all having her as a professor isn't the death sentence some of these other reviews say it is

Ten quizzes, five two-page analytical summaries, three two-page field observations, and a three-page final paper about a museum or something that you went to. Her classes should be classified as writing emphasis classes. Be prepared to write a lot. She likes physical learning by getting you to go places like museums and walks/tours.

She is an interesting teacher. She knows a lot, but doesn't properly convey this information. She goes on lots of tangents, like how she likes paper. She is a tough grader, and you do have to write how she likes. She is a little blunt with her grading, you just have to not take it personally.

Honestly seemed like she knew what she was talking about and likes to teach it. Probably my hardest first semester class, but as long as you pay attention and do a little reading it really isn't too hard. Don't listen to the students trying to claim her as a bad professor because her class is a little challenging. People hate just to hate.

Dr. K was a pretty good professor. For her online class, she was good about giving clear feedback on why you may have lost points. As long as you do the readings for the assignments, you'll be fine. You can tell she cares about the class and just wants students to do the work to earn the grade they deserve.

Dr. K is a very good professor. She lectures a lot, but it is very valuable information. Only a few assignments and attendance is mandatory, but if you read and put effort in, you will succeed and she will respect you. One of the better professors here at WCU and I'm a third year student. highly recommended.
