He is one of best at UAlbany. I took 2 classes from him. Exams are easy. He probably let you write 2 pages long paper every week and give you only 1 final exam. There will be a group presentation for sure. you don't need test book or any other material

Professor Bulko is one of the best at UA. I wish I took a class with him sooner than my senior year, but glad I got to experience him at all. He's very understanding, the work load is light, a 2 page paper every 2 weeks, a group presentation, and maybe a final. He wants you to enjoy the class, and with him, you definitely will.

Bulko is one of my favorites. He is a professor who knows economics inside out and goes out of his way to help his students. Prior to Monday tests, he comes in every Sunday night for reviews and stays until every student knows what they are doing. He has a great personality and runs a great lecture. Highly recommend!

Kenneth Bulko (affectionately called "Kenny B" by some students) is a one of a kind professor. Rarely do you see a professor care about his students, actively want them to understand the material and to succeed, and to have such a fun time teaching the material. He is the reason I started an econ minor. Take him for macro too!

Professor Ken Bulko is definitely an amazing teacher! Not only is he passionate about what he teaches, he actually teaches in a way that makes you want to research the topics on your own. Trust me, I'm a junior and he's one of the few professors that keep me awake during an 8:45 class. He interacts with the class & knows our names by heart.

Bulko is a pretty funny guy, and does care about his students' success. When the class as a whole doesn't understand a concept, he spends extra time on it and really tries to help us understand. There are homework assignments every week, and some of the test questions are confusing but he does curve.

I love Bulko. He's such a silly guy. He really cares about all 200 kids in his lecture. He wants everyone to do well and genuinely is worried about whether or not you are understanding him. He's great.

Best teacher in the college and Eco department encourages you to think and do research Very interesting lectures Highly recommend him Learned a lot from him in a fun way

Kinda funny, pretty nice. Expects you to do the work. Really understanding and listens to students about problems and what they want. Puts all the slides online and puts up practice tests for midterm and final (only tests) Only downside really was that he made us buy an IClicker and we hardly ever used it.

He gives 3 exams which are semi-difficult (with curves). Very nice person in general and tries to make economics enjoyable. He will always try to help you understand (peer tutors, office hours, test study sessions). Always uploads slides online and you will have aplia due every week once a week. Overall good class and will take macro with him.

Tries to help students with whatever he can. Listens to students opinions about too much homework due at once and spends extra time on topics students are struggling with. Three tests throughout the year. Lots to know for tests but with practice questions, review sessions and curve they aren't that bad. Homework due once a week.

He makes adjustments to class according to feedback received from his students. He sets up study groups right before exams to make sure you understand the concepts. He also looks George Constanza from Seinfeld which is pretty cool.

Bulko is a great guy. I took him for Macroeconomics. He's funny, tries to get students involved in the class, and keeps things interesting while he's teaching the coursework. The class material itself is a little bit difficult but he does hold review sessions separate from class in the LC for anyone who doesn't understand.

Took both Micro&Macro with him. He is the best teacher for ECON. His tests are straight forward and he is a chill guy. He is always there to help you and I cannot name another prof whose office hours I have willingly gone to. Take him!!!

You don't have to go to class because he puts the lectures online along with practice exams. The practice exams don't help much. The tests are not conceptual, they're more applying concepts. He's a funny lecturer, but the material is a bit hard to understand.

A tough class. Be ready to do online homework but in the end it really helps your grade. His grading system can be confusing but just know his curve is the best in the economic department. He grades based on how the class does. I got 60s on most exams and still got an A in the class because everyone else did worse than me.

My favorite teacher by far. Really easy class with pretty interesting lectures.

Ken is such a great teacher. Even though you don't have to show up to his classes, do it because he tries to make the lectures as interesting and relatable as possible. If not, all the slides are up on Blackboard. He even takes time out of his day to make review sessions and since people barely show up, you get a lot of small group instruction.

All of the homeworks are online, the tests are pretty hard and he uses the iclicker sometimes, but not everytime.

I am a freshman and this is my first semester at UAlbany. I entered the school as a public policy major but Bulko's microeconomics class made me change my major to economics. He is a fantastic professor and thoroughly explains the material to make it understandable. Attendance is not taken, but definitely go to class. The curve is great too!

One of the best professors I've had at UAlbany. He makes the material relatable to real life and teaches in a way that I never felt bored in class. He is a really caring and nice person. There are weekly HW and 4 tests and cumulative final, which were fairly easy. Also he curves based on class average. To do well, attend class and do the aplia HW.

Ken Bulko is such a gem of a professor. Loved him so much that I'm taking him again next semester. He is kind and genuinely cares about the success of his students. He grades you according to how the rest of the class does, so there's A LOT of room to do well. You've got to put in effort to fail this, especially since he's always there to help you!

Great professor in my opinion. Economics is hard but I never went to class and taught myself using the slides he puts up on blackboard. The Aplia can help your grade if you do well on them. He curves it based on how well the class does and I failed two tests and still ended up with an A- no joke. Also I think we only used iclicker twice.

The class is chill. We barely use the iClickers as the class progresses. He has optional review sessions on Fridays that help out a lot. Tries to make the material interesting. The hardest part about his class is the Aplia but he gives you 3 chances to get the questions right.

Bulko is a great professor. Micro was pretty easy you just have to do your aplia and make sure you study for exams. Everything for his class (notes) is posted on black board and this is very helpful

I LOVED Professor Bulko. He's an awesome teacher and his teaching style is great. He posts all the notes on blackboard and posts practice exams as well. The aplia homework can be time consuming but it's not hard. His office hours are helpful too. As long as you pay attention in class you will pass easily. Highly recommend him to all students.

Bulko is the best professor I've had in UAlbany. I took his ECO 110 & 111 classes. He is such a great econ prof that I actually changed my major to econ because of his classes. His lectures and powerpoint thoroughly explain the topics and chapters. The tests cover everything learned in the chapters, no surprises. Aplia is most helpful in learning.

My favorite class I've ever taken. It was an 8:45am class so that should truly show how enjoyable it was. You have to show up and participate because it's worth 30% of your grade. Group project with topic of your choosing to a certain extent. He wants you to share your opinion and will never disrespect your opinion. Keeps you aware of current news.

Bulko is a great professor who wants his students to do well, but you will have to work for it.

He does a really good job of interacting with the students and making sure everyone understands things and doesn't have questions before moving on. His deadlines often change if the class falls behind schedule, so you will never be doing homework for something you didn't learn yet. He is loud and clear and breaks down difficult things.

I absolutely love this professor and would highly recommend trying to get into one of his classes. He is by far the most organized, passionate and down to earth professor I've ever had. The material can be challenging so be sure to attend class and take notes. His exams are fair but they do require a good amount of preparation.

Definitely a good professor. He pushes back homework if he didn't teach it yet so you never need to learn things he didn't go over in class. Very nice and understanding. Always answers his emails.

very nice guy and uses a lot of real world examples to help you actually understand economics, easy to warm up to and loves people

He's a nice guy and really approachable. Will adjust homeworks if needed, but I cannot learn from him. I was able to succeed in this class from the textbook, not from his lectures. He goes fast, so it doesn't give time for me to understand what he even said. Put in work to teach yourself if needed and the tests should be okay.

Ken Bulko is a very good professor. I took notes ahead of time, so I'd be prepared for class. What I liked about him and his powerpoints is that he's not so uppity. Bulko teaches like he's speaking directly to each students and finds a way to simply explain each concept. He gives a lot of homework assignments and curves every test.

Boring class, but nice guy. Always engaged with students during lecture which was cool to see. Big curves on the tests, sometimes had clicker quizzes in class, and easy online homeworks every week. Good choice for macro.

Honestly, if you know how to study and you do the homeworks then this class is an easy A. Yeah the lectures might be boring but he has a decent curve and the tests truly aren't bad (assuming you know how to study and actually do it). He's a nice guy. He let me take the final 5 days early so I could go home sooner.

When you study and do hw, don't just memorize but understand the topics because his tests are scenarios mostly. He's very approachable and slides are VERY helpful because they are straightforward and gives examples.

Teaches the class well, sometimes overcomplicates aspects of the course. If you stick to his lecture slides you can do well.

Ken is the man, he tries his best to keep it interesting. He has a very generous curve that makes the class easy but still requires some studying.

A cool guy with a nice curve that makes the class awesome

I have no complaints about this professor. He works hard to make sure everyone does well and curves or grade a whole lot. He gives homework but it is necessary to understand the material. There are no surprises in his class and he just wants everyone to do well. Great professor!

There is homework once a week on Mindtap. He gives 4 tests and drops the lowest grade and those are 50% of your overall grade. Attendance is not mandatory and he does post the lecture slides. I highly recommend going to his office hours if you need help.

Explains and simplifies everything really well. Class is all lecture but keeps students involved my asking the class questions. Has weekly homeworks and the and puts the slides online so tests are easy to study for. Tests and homework can be kinda tough but curves each test generously. Lowest test grade and 2 lowest homework grades are dropped.

I took micro and macro with Ken freshmen year and loved both. He is a fantastic teacher who makes things very clear and uses a lot of real life examples to help students understand. He is funny and attendance is not required if you do the weekly homework assignment and look through his exam study guides.

He over complicates things in class so I stopped going and did better teaching myself. He curves the exams by the class median and also drops your lowest. Class is graded by class rank. Great guy, just over complicates things.

Show up and participate and you'll get an A in Eco Law, my favorite teacher at Albany

I had microeconomics online this semester and the class was asynchronous. Overall, it was an easy class; homework was due online every Sunday and there was a quiz every Wednesday. As long as you listen to the lectures, complete the homework, and practice quizzes before the quiz and you'll be fine.

Homework due on MindTap every week and then quizzes online. One final exam, no other tests. People didn't show up to class much because it wasn't mandatory but he's actually a fantastic teacher and you'll stay engaged for the whole 80 minutes. It's impressive how passionately he talks about econ, I had a great experience learning from him!

ECO 111 is one of the easiest classes I have taken so far. The only thing you'll have to do for this class is a Quiz and an HW weekly. He doesn't take attendance but lectures are interesting.

He is a very nice professor, not way too strict and very clear about his expectations. So it is not hard to do well in this class, you just have to do the hws and you would be good, a pretty easy A if you do everything.

Bulko is very nice and his homework is super easy. Good to take as an elective, Midterm was lowkey hard but the quizzes he gives online makes up for it and homework is super easy too. He responds right away and cares about his students. HIs lectures can be boring though.

Professor Bulko is great! The subject matter isn't the most interesting, but he does a great job of relating it to things happening in the world which makes it so much better! He really cares about his students and if you tell him your name once, he'll remember you for the rest of the semester. The midterm & final are hard but he curves the class

Great guy class was challenging in a rewarding way.

Fairly easy class, lectures aren't all that important. Do the mindtaps and study for the tests and you'll be fine. Need to buy MindTap, buy cengage unlimited and take ECN 111 + Stats (AMAT 108) next semester to make it worth.

Got a 67 for midterm (10%) & a 72 for final (30%), still passed with an A-. Just get 100s on all the HW/quizzes (easy & online) & you will pass. He curves the class since the median is always in the 50s on his midterm & final. I literally only went to class the first day & then never again. Review his slides/chapters to study. Drops lowest HW/quiz

Dr. Bulko is a man who is truly passionate about what he teaches. Lectures can get boring at times, but his powerpoints are simple and easy to understand. Homeworks and online quizzes each week, and he drops the lowest HW and Quiz at the end of the semester. HWs take maybe an hour a week, and his tests are very fair. Great professor to go for help.

Lectures seemed to drag on sometimes but Dr. B tried his best to make the material engaging. Weekly mindtaps and quizzes helped me keep up with the content. Occasionally, I felt like I was teaching myself the material because there were certain things he didn't cover or go over in depth.

Lectures are boring but not mandatory. He is a good professor and cares about the students that care about the class and make an effort.

Very very likable guy. Only went to a handful of his lectures. Everything is posted online. Quizzes are online, just study for the 50Q multiple choice midterm and the 50Q (or 40) multiple choice final. Very accessible, extremely nice. Hope the best for this guy

Weekly online hw and quiz. Grades are only made up of these and two exams. Exam average is always 50%, more or less so make sure the hw and quizzes are 100s. Taking AECO111 rn, nobody shows up. He's a great professor.

Easy A if you take Bulko and do your hw

very nice, class is super easy if you put the work in
