I took the hybrid class and had Dr. Gulker as my recitation instructor. She did a really good job explaining the material and reinforced it well with stories and examples from pop culture. She also sent out a lot of reminder emails that were super helpful since we only met once a week.

Great teacher and easy A class!

She is amazing. Definitely my favorite class I have ever taken. Her teaching is incredible and you really learn how to apply the information to the real world. Her exams are extremely fair and if you pay attention and do the reading no doubt you will pass.

I took the online class and she was recitation instructor. A chapter a week, sometimes too and as long as you do the work that comes with it you will pass. Recitation attendance isn't mandatory but she will collect HW for extra credit points. She always has study guides that exactly match whats on the test. She explains exactly what you need to do.

Great person! Very lecture heavy. As long as you go to class and pay attention you'll be fine. Always a good idea to read over lecture notes (provided online) and skim over the book before exams.

Attendance is not mandatory but there are a few participation assignments per semester that you will miss if you are not there to do them.

I really enjoyed the course. I was hesitant at first because I had heard bad things about the hybrid. But I don't know what they were talking about. It's a great class and it makes me wish I could have her in more classes.

I took her for social. Lectures were really funny. I liked the class. She also answered emails super fast.

Took this online. Read the rubric and you'll be fine. She answers emails fast.

She uses this cool lecture thing. Answers questions and spends a lot of time making sure you get the material. Would take her again.

If you take the hybrid make sure Jill is your recitation instructor. I switched into her recitation after taking another girl for the first couple of weeks. Best decision.

Lectures aren't boring. Go to class and you'll do fine.

I hate afternoon classes and this one I don't mind.

Pretty basic course. Would recommend.

Dr. Gulker cares about her students more than just regarding the classroom.

I took PSY 120 with Gulker as the hybrid, and she was my recitation instructor. She's a fantastic instructor and clearly cares about the students. She likes to tell stories that relate to the topic being covered that day, and will help guide you in the right direction when needed. If you can get her as your prof, do it!

PSY 240 is a very interesting class and Dr. Gulker not only has significant knowledge but clearly cares about students and what she's teaching

Dr. Gulker is such a good professor - she clearly cares about the content and her students, and is very enthusiastic when teaching. Classes are engaging because she connects with the students well and does not behave like a strict or uptight lecturer.

Almost all the answers to quizzes/tests can be found on quizlet. Easy A when taking it online.

Gulker is such an amazing professor. Her class is engaging and her lectures are phenomenal. Be prepared to participate and take good notes, but you shouldn't have a problem. I cannot recommend her enough. She really wants her students to learn the material and does an outstanding job teaching.

Dr. Gulker is easily my favorite professor at Purdue. She is passionate, knows what she is talking about, understanding, funny, and self-aware. Not a hard class if you show up, participate & take notes. Her social psychology background really helps when she teaches about stereotypes, bias, etc., and strategies to combat bias.

You can tell that Dr. Gulker is passionate about what she teaches; however, sometimes its random on how tough she grades. I received lower grades on quizzes even after taking notes, participating, and coming to class everyday (classmates agree with me as well). Overall, she cares about her students and the material, but can be tough on grades.

Professor Gulker is a really enjoyable professor to be in class with. However when you take the exams it is basically a guessing game. I'd say about 50% isn't discussed in class so you have to hope for the best and expect to get participation every day to still pass the class.

The lectures are interesting and easy to follow. You need to read the chapters for each week, especially for exams. You have participation points each week so you need to go to class. If you can't make it to class for a good reason (i.e. sick, emergencies, mental health, etc.) they will allow you to do make up work as long as you ask. Good class!

I absolutely loved Dr. Gulker! She was super personable and was very entertaining. There is homework once a week so the courseload isn't overbearing. She does a good job at covering all the aspects of psychology she can in the short semester we have. She also is very fair come time for exams. Participation is mandatory, but some get dropped.

All tests were online, very easy class. The professor is very knowledgeable.

She made the exams open note after the first test to make it easier on us and collects participation but lets you drop four weeks worth. She keeps lectures interesting and posts her notes online for studying. Overall, the class wasn't difficult. She didn't go over all of the lecture slides in class, so reading her notes and the textbook is helpful.

Man I just love Jill. She is so nice, and you really gotta try to fail her class. She changes our exams to open note and is really funny in lecture and is open to messing around and us making jokes in the menti discussions. Her lectures were always a nice change of pace in the week.

Dr. Gulker was so fun and an easy to talk to professor. Loved this class and will be taking more that she teaches. Her lectures cover everything you'll usually see on the exams, but still recommend taking notes from the textbook.

This class is one that is very interesting, it briefly describes all of the different topics in psychology. All of the assignments are online and participation in the class is graded. Tests are open note and usually straightforward. The department requires participation in research studies to earn SONA credits, make sure to get these done asap.

Interesting introductory psych class. Very nice prof. Not too thrilled that attendance was mandatory (hence my B). Take it online if you can. Also the SONA requirement is ridiculous. For the uninitiated, you have to participate in about 7-8 hours worth of terribly conceived undergraduate psych research studies. Just a huge time suck.

Professor Gulker does a great job creating engaging and interesting lectures. The class is very heavy on lectures, and your personal notes will be most of what you use to study for exams. The class is slightly heavy on essays, but they don't take long, and the professor is not a super harsh grader. Attendance is mandatory, with 4 absences allowed.

The (online) tests were open-note, but it meant that you had to take a lot of notes (textbook & lecture). There were 14 participation grades for lectures but 4 are dropped. The SONA credit is pretty annoying because of limited experiment sign-ups but it was doable. The required semester-long paper also was really easy. Grading was fast as well.

I enjoyed Professor Gulker's class. Exams were easy as long as you took good notes (for us the exams were open note) and listened in class. Also she collects attendance points but she doesn't collect participation every day. I loved her anecdotes about psychological concepts, however she does talk about her kids a lot.

Gulker is a great lecturer. She explains things well and always takes time to answer students' questions. The first exam was proctored and the rest were not. In lecture, she uses Mentimeter to track participation so as long as you go to class you should do great.

She isn't bad, but the lectures were so boring. Attendance is mandatory, but if you ask she will send her notes out, so you don't have to take them. Get ahead start on the SONA credits. The first test was proctored, but rest were not. The notes make it seem that the test are so in-depth, but test really are examples and definitions

She made coming to class enjoyable. The class does not have homework and most of grade is just showing up to class.

BEST TEACHER EVER!!!! she is the nicest and most understanding teacher I have ever had here at Purdue. She is so funny too!! I wish I could take more classes with her!!

Dr. Gulker is my favorite professor I've had! The lectures were really interesting and fun, she engaged with the class a lot and took feedback seriously. Tests were open note and online, and there was no homework besides a semester project. You do need to show up because she takes participation but I always looked forward to coming to class.

Very easy - tests are online and open note, but definitely get the SONA credits done early. Her notes are very surface level but it's okay since tests are online. She could go way more in depth if she didn't talk about her kids / personal life so much. Overall easy class and she was very nice and personable.

I LOVE Dr. Gulker. She makes content really easy to understand by using real world applications and by using students' participation. Her lectures are really easy to follow, and you'll do well as long as you keep track of notes. She also cares deeply about the wellbeing of her students and always puts YOU first. All tests are online.

Dr. Gulker has a great lecturing style, a fun personality, and clear communication. She provided extra study resources and information on what will be on exams. It is not hard to succeed, as long as you are willing to study a little bit and read the textbook.

Great professor. Explains very well in an engaging way. Speaks loud and clear, great voice and communication skills. The homework has many resources that help you along the way in case you do not understand a problem. All homework, quizzes, and exams are online. Wish I could have Dr. Gulker again, recommend her to everyone!

Great professor, super sweet. Exams are online, camera off which makes them easy. Participation points so go to lecture. Also a project, but no final exam.

I LOVED this class. Lectures were so entertaining, there is no homework in this class, no final, and only 3 exams.There are points for attendance but I never found myself struggling to go to lecture. This has been one of my favorite classes here. Tests can be a bit hard so make sure you study but otherwise you should have a great time!

Gulker is an amazing professor. Participation points are crucial to your grade so come to the lectures, but she makes them enjoyable. The material is fun to learn and no homework other than one project and 3 exams (no final). Exams are on Lockdown Browser, but if you study well you can easily get a good grade. I recommend this glass with her!

This was my second time around with her, and she's consistently amazing. Lectures are mandatory but fun, and the class doesn't have homework. The exams need some studying and the project takes a good deal of work, but it's easy, so long as you seek help when needed. Overall, I highly recommend her!

Mrs. Gulker is a good professor but her assignments are tedious and take up a lot of time. Make sure to pay attention in class for quizzes and show up for attendance (2 get dropped).

This class was super interesting and ended up being one of my favorites this semester. It was also extremely easy, the only reason I didn't end up with an A was because I missed one of the last assignments. The exams are online and super easy. Just go to class and do the assignments and you'll end up with an A.

This class was by far my favorite this semester. Lectures were super interesting. I was worried because I completely failed the first quiz, but after learning what to expect from the exams, I figured out how I needed to study to prepare and ended up getting As on the rest of the exams and 1 B. Read the textbook and go to class and you'll be fine!

To describe Gulker in one word, I would choose solid. Was this class revolutionary? No. But were there times I laughed or gained some insight, yes. For the prof, her rubrics are a bit wack and can knock off points for things not even mentioned but overall its not that hard. Seems willing to work with students and overall seems invested in the topic

This class was pretty decent and could be funny at times. There were only 2 quizzes, which were made to be pretty easy if you paid attention in class/took good notes. Assignments were long and tedious. She never gave clear feedback or honestly what she wanted to see from the paper, so I would just say follow the rubric as much as you can.

I'm not a psych major so I took this class as an elective. It ended up being one of my favorite classes. Her lectures are so entertaining and easy to understand. The exams are straightforward. There are very few homework assignments, and the workload is super light. I would recommend this class if you need an elective, or need to get a psych credit

I highly recommend Dr. Gulker! She's awesome- her lectures are fun, engaging, and easy to follow. As long as you show up to class, you'll do well.

Prof. Gulker is by far one of the best professors I've had. Although the class is lecture heavy, I genuinely enjoyed going. She is a great lecturer and she makes class fun. Participation points are easy as long as you show up to class. Exams are online and proctored but the lowest exam score is dropped. She has a great attitude with students.

She a pretty good professor, most of her lectures were pretty entertaining and her class wasn't hard at all. It should be an easy A as long as you show up to class.

She's a very entertaining lecturer, and makes coming to class well worth the effort. You will need to do the readings to do well on the exams, but the questions are straightforward and rarely anything she hasn't warned you about. I didn't like her assignments that integrated AI, but she provided alternatives that took slightly more effort.

I liked her lectures. They were engaging and actually taught what was on exams. I didn't touch the textbook once the whole semester. Attendance is mandatory and she uses menti. The exams/quizzes are pretty hard, but if you look over the slides and use the study guide she provides they aren't too bad.

Truly one of the best classes I've ever taken. She makes class so entertaining and actually motivates me to learn. She does participation, but it's super easy stuff. Most of it was opinion based and as long as you submitted it in class you got full credit.

I thought this class was very interesting and informative. She did talk about her kids quite a bit, but she was a very kind grader and it didn't take much for me to get an A. Make sure you pick good groups for the group projects.
