Professor Kulper is certainly a good instructor and he has the track record and real life experience to support his teaching. Hes also heavily involved with campus activities (UAS and the TAG program). Just dont get on his bad side & dont try to correct him. He occasionally gaslights his student, including alum that have long graduated.
Pretty Good Professor. Just a lot of reading and quizzes. Good advice. The project at the end is a lot of work. Overall, would recommend
Nice guy. Majority of class is him talking about nothing that has to do with the weekly reading quizzes, but he takes attendance so you have to go. Quizzes aren't terrible but you do need to read to do well on them. Project is a lot of work and he is a tough grader. If you put in the work the class isn't difficult just a lot of busy work.
This class has a quiz for every class so you have to keep up with the reading. Kulper is a nice guy who has nice stories to tell, but he doesn't really have a lecture. He basically talks the whole time and when he does talk about substantive stuff it's from the reading. Overall, lots of time dedication for this class and a group project due at end.
Had Kulper for 136A and 118. I can honestly tell you that he doesn't teach. He takes the majority of lecture to vent and talk about his own life, which will often not be related to course material. Having said that, he has quizzes every lecture and does not prepare you for them AT ALL. He is a good person but he is not a good teacher.
Horrible professor. Doesn't teach anything. Spends most of the lecture talking about his stocks and only covers the analysis part for the last 20 minutes of the class. Then he gives us daily quizzes which he doesn't prepare us for at all, and we only get about 10 minutes for it. Get another professor!
