Dr. Ullman is a great professor and a great lecturer. His class was very interesting, and he devotes a lot of time to helping students.

I loved this class! He's an awesome down to earth professor who wears socks with Birkenstocks. If you need to take a math requirement but aren't a math major, take math 710

Great prof to learn interesting things from...he is very responsive to his students

wow that girl below is in love with ullman, who wouldnt be???? Hes amazing and funny I love his math jokes!! I wish he was my dad seriously

I had Prof Ullman for both MATH31 and 32. His lectures are very clear, and you gotta luv the math jokes :-P You have hw and quizzes every week so it keeps you on the ball. He's not the easiest prof in the world, tests can be tricky but you learn lots

Of all the math professors you will have at GW he is by far the best. Very interesting, helpful, amazing professor. Likes the subject and his students. His quizzes and exams aren't easy you need to understand the material. You will always love the lecture

Dr. Ullman does not make the class easy unless you are willing to work. If you put in the time and effort, he will make sure you understand the material. There was no textbook, so he made the class comprehensive

NICE GUY, BUT HE IS ONE HARD MOFO

class is interesting, has good math jokes, quizzes and homeworks are easy so is the midterm. WATCH OUT FOR THE FINAL its toughness extreme!!!!

great for math in politics - so passionate and excited and willing to make you get excited

he will make you learn but he is not easy he will make you learn and work hard. he is also very helpful make sure you use his office hours they will get you much farther

This man IS math...he is clear and sooo helpful outside of class. I hate math and loved Ullman. Very approachabl and so so sooo helpful outside of class.

He explains things fairly well, and what you dont pick up from lecture you can get from discussion. His tests are hard, but if you do the work you'll be fine. He's very approachable about any problems as well and his classes arent too boring.

Dr. Ullman is the best math teacher I've had at GW. His tests and HW are hard, but he is very available for help. If you go to his office hours, he will really help you with anything you are having trouble with. He took extremely abstract material and made it approachable. Great Professor!!!

Great professor. Very clear and easy to understand. Gives plenty of examples. Tests and h/w are hard, but grades on an adapted curve (80%=A). Very open to help students, too!

Great professor, much better than the rest of the department. His quizes and homeworks really prepare you, so around midterm time you won't have to put in more than an hour or two reviewing old notes and still ace it. His finals are infamously difficult. My advice: get a tutor...you'll get an A

went to office hours almost every time, got around 50 percents on midterm and final and 90% avg on quiz and got a B+. Excellent teacher, the best out of the math department. Challenging as well, he knows math so intuitively well.

This guy changed my entire way of thinking about math.. he got me to see math.. i could visualize a function, even in 3d... i feel it was him that set me on the path towards 3d animation.. he is a hard teacher, but well worth it, and very helpful if you need the help...

He is a great teacher. He'll make you think like a mathematician, but bad in grading, and quizes are hard.

Cool class, interesting subject, but it was all really really hard.

Math and Politics is not an easy A but Ullman makes it interesting and its better than sitting in a boring class doing calculus all yur life. There are only 5 homework assignments and either he or the TA (I had Rebecca and she was awesome) are totally approachable for help.

"Math and Politics" is great for IAFF people like me who hate math, but it is definitely more math than politics. Interesting material. Lectures are sometimes unclear but he posts lecture notes on BB which help a lot. Fair grader with a nice curve. TA Rebecca was awesome. If you need to fill your IAFF math/science GCR, look no further.

Prof. Ullman is a nice guy. His tests can be kind of tough, but he's a very nicy grader (he curves so no one fails). His lectures can be boring, but if your write down his notes, you'll do well. Plus, he posts them on BB. Homework is moderately difficult, but not impossible. I don't like math, but this wasn't too bad for me.

Ullman is the hardest math teacher at GW. He even admits that he makes hard tests. He is helpful, and relatively clear in lectures, but you should take another professor whose tests won't****you! Only people who are reeeaally good at math will get an A. Otherwise you'll probably get a B or C with the curve (with a raw score of 45-55 on exams)

Class is somewhat interesting, but hard to follow. Repetition of material is crucial to understanding. Helps you when you need it, which can be often. Tests and homeworks are challenging, so he scales accordingly -- 80% and above in the class is A territory. Attendance is strongly recommended, because his notes on Blackboard are hard to decipher.

Ullman is a very good Prof, and is willing to help whenever neccessary. Don't rely on the TA, he doesn't know what he is talking about. The textbook can be very confusing, but he covers all the material extensively in class. Quizzes are easy, but assignments can be hard. The workload is not heavy, overall it is a good class to take.

No, no, no, no. Well, no if you don't like math. Interesting class, no attendance (minus quizzes, tests, and homework), don't have to purchase a book because it's all online... but pretty dense assignments, tests and quizzes are tough, and the TA is useless. Great if you like math. Don't take as a blow-off class. Plus, it's an 8 am. Bad.

If you're willing to work, this is a very fun class that you can get a good grade in. Prof. Ullman is also very willing to answer questions via email and office hours. Personally, I looked forward to this class, even at 8AM. However, many people in this class fair poorly if they don't attend/keep up, so this is not an easy A by any means.

Defintely a nice guy and well, I like math so I can't really tell if it's suitable for others. But i think he is very good at teaching, he knows the essence of the materials and is very clear. And you don't have to read textbook if you go to his lecture

Tough professor. He covers the most basic definitions and concepts in class, leaving the rest for you to fill in.Also assigns the hardest problems from the book for homework, but he is always willing to help you in office hours. The problem is that he isn't always sure of the solution. His tests are extremely hard, but he does give a generous curve

thought i was doing really well in the class in the beginning, but have gradually gone down in performance. attendance isnt mandatory but idk how youll pass if you dont go. exams and quizzes are challenging but theres a pretty nice curve. not an impossible class but definitely requires attention and outside work for success.

Ullman is a boss. Although the content itself was difficult to grasp at times, he found ways to make it palatable. Easy B, although he gives a very generous curve that leaves everyone above 80 with an A.

His lectures are pretty clear and if you dont understand it, use the textbook online. See the TA if you are having difficulty with the concepts. If you aren't a math person, this is a good class. If you understand his lectures and the concepts, you can get an A.

Ullman is a professor everyone should avoid unless your okay with killing your gpa. The class takes the the entire period and then you get quized on harder stuff at the beginning of the next week. I withdrew after the first month, which most of my friends said was a great decission.

He adjusts level of difficulty to the class. Our class was exceptionally strong (weaker students dropped out early), so, consequently, the exams- especially the final- were all very difficult. He's not particularly clear in his explanations. Be wary when taking him.

The key to succeeding in his class is understanding the type of questions he likes to put on his quizzes/exams. Tends to explain difficult proofs, but those can be summarized in a sentence (and that's all you need to know for his tests). There are 2 midterms and his grading scale is incredible. He is very interested in the topic, and is a nice guy

Very intelligent professor. He is regarded as brilliant among colleagues. I took His Linear Algebra class. His exams were difficult, but I learned more with him than with most.

With Prof. Ullman, Math and Politics is not a joke. He grades on a huge curve and it's necessary. My final grade was 79.5%, which turned out to be an A- with the curve. If you have questions on the homework, GO TO HIS OFFICE HOURS. He is willing to help right up to the minute the assignment is due. If you do the homework correctly, tests are easy.

Very hard class, by nature of the material. Took it with Carl as the TA and he helped a ton. Ullman is a good teacher, but is so brilliant that a lot of times I found his explanations going over my head. A TON of work, you will spend most your time on this class.

The best math teacher I have ever had. He expects you dedicate a lot of time to the class, but if you do you will certainly get an A. Makes lots of jokes during class that are very funny if you are paying attention. I would definitely take him again.

Ullman was very clear in his expectations of students from the beginning of the semester. Webassigns took forever, but they were helpful and necessary to understanding the material. Calc 3 is hard no matter who you take it with, and if you're looking to retain and understand the material, take it with Ullman. He wants students to succeed.

Ullman tackles material with genuine enthusiasm that I can only equate in the STEM field to Tom Lehrer. Memorization isn't emphasized as greatly as being able to work out problems. Relaxed grader (above an 80% is A range). Ullman literally wrote the Math and Politics textbook, so he knows the material extremely well.

Ullman's a really sweet and funny guy. He starts off class with a relatively random trivia question. He's also really approachable and willing to help. That being said, his tests are brutal. I walked into the final with a solid A in the course, and then that plummeted after the final. Make sure to build a good foundation throughout the course.

Ullman is a math whiz. Very kind and very willing to help and get his students to succeed. Lectures are so incredibly boring. Class is nowhere near as difficult as everyone is saying, just pay attention/read the textbook (which he wrote) and it's an easy A. Easy quizzes, 2 midterms, a final, and some homeworks. Very lenient grader too, above 80%A.

While difficult, Professor Ullman is the best Mathematics professor I've ever had so far. The course has a lot of HW, and is assessment heavy. However, if you study, you should be able to do well. An 80% is an A-. I think that he is more suited for teaching higher level math courses, but I sincerely hope I will be able to take him again.

Hes definitely one of the best professors at GW. There were no surprising questions in exams, just work as he asked during the semester. Hes very very nice and approachable, I dont know why people complain about him. Lots of complaints were just because they didnt pay enough attention to the useful lectures or didnt want to learn math at all

Hes literally amazing. I just cannot. I havent met a better professor than him ever. His handwriting is phenomenal. He can teach anything.

Incredibly fair professor. He truly wants his students to do well!

Professor Ullman is a highly knowledgeable mathematician. Math and Politics is a course he conceptualized and created with another professor to appeal to the young political minds of GW. Voting theory and apportionment are the bulk of the course. It is highly theoretical. The coursework is quite challenging, but the grading is quite generous.

Professor Ullman is a great guy and cares a lot about his students. It is a very interesting class, but it was very hard. If you are just trying to complete a math credit I would say avoid this class. He never hesitated to answer any and all questions and was not a tough grader.

Professor Ullman is a wonderful and brilliant teacher. Math and Politics is a very challenging class and heavily based in theory but he is more than willing to help students through difficult concepts they don't understand. I went to many of his office hours and he was always so kind and helpful.

Professor Ullman has clear expectations of his students and a set curve. There is frequent homework, which is normal for calc classes, and weekly quizzes. While attendance isn't mandatory, you will quickly fall behind if you don't go and will could quizzes. I enjoyed his lectures and found them easy to follow.

great professor, good curve, study hard and you will at least get a B
