Great class. Professor uses power point lectures during each class. She also posts them online so you can easily study the lectures at home if absent or before test day. The professor goes over what is going to be on each test the class before test day, so attendence is wise. Professor has a very easy going, nice demeanor. Very enjoyable class.

Great professor. Attendance is wise. She does powerpoints while in class, but taking actual notes instead of printing the powerpoints off the portal is a good idea, because I know that writing the notes helped me in remembering the information. There is no possible way to fail this class. As a 15 year old, for me, it's simple.

Great teacher. She maintains order and does not give out freebies, but is flexible enough to work with you. If you study the material, you WILL pass, but if you slack she doesn't have much sympathy. Reads from PowerPoints, posts them at the end of class as study guides. Every test has a study guide, making studying easy. I recommend.

She overall is not a good communicator about assignment expectations. She also does not help after assignments to see what you did wrong to improve. Also her desire to get you involved makes the online class annoying because of the volume of discussion posts that are necessary.

Her class was interesting especially if you love Psych. I enjoyed it but I put so much work and time into assignments & she graded tough. When I would ask what I needed to do to improve she would tell me exactly what I did. Not helpful. Hard when you put effort in & get points off for no logical reason. Kind of a lot of writing weekly but not hard.

I had originally given her a bad review not long ago and since changed my mind. YES she grades tough but for the most part if you do exactly what she wants you will get a perfect grade and do well. The class is interesting and a lot of writing but easy. You won't be bored. Just follow her directions exactly and you'll be fine. She's nice too.

I would say that Prof. K is a nice woman and tries to be reasonable. At times though, I would feel that I did very well on an assignment, but still end up with a few points taken off with no explanation. If you plan on taking her, just make sure to pay attention in class, read over powerpoints, and give EXACTLY what she wants on homework.

If you enjoy psych then her class will be interesting. If you're just detailed with your work and put effort in you'll get all A's. She seems like a tough grader but you just need to be very detailed/show you read. Her class was really interesting, it wasn't too much writing and it was all pretty easy. Put effort in and you'll get a good grade.

This teacher never grades assignments in a timely manner and NEVER gives full points, she always finds a way to doc you a point or a half point. She takes her anger out on the class that is not all the classes fault. As well we her lectures are hard to sit through she reads word for word from the slides. She has a lot of assignments too.

Class is relatively easy if you show up, utilize the study guide, and look at the powerpoint. HOWEVER, Dawn Kulpanowski is the worst professor I have ever had. Rude, never gives full points, and very impatient. If you can take another professor for this class DO IT! This class would have been much more enjoyable had I had a good professor.

Will not give full points and looks for anything and everything to do so. The textbook was mandatory, even though it wasn't used for assignments. Quizzes were easy to pass, but discussions, especially, weren't always clear on what she wanted to be answered. Had to take her for summer but if you have to option, you should find someone else.

Very tough grader. I only had one or two assignments that I got full credit for, other than that she will take away points with no explanation. A lot of times it was only 1/2 of a point which doesn't make any sense. As an online class it was okay. Had to teach myself pretty much everything. She takes a while to respond when I tried to email

Lots of homework

I took this Professor in 2010 so to read the comments written is crazy. This professor is very fun and understanding. She isn't difficult and fair with grading papers. She doesn't require a lot but participation is a plus. I'm not sure why she has the ratings she has. I took two classes with her and both I passed..
