Not clear with what he wants on tests, Extremely Harsh; bordering on offensive with grading. Computer and Engineering majors ace the tests; the rest of us have no idea where he's coming from. Seems smart but, makes you feel stupid= not smart teaching.

This man obviously hates teaching. VERY disorganized, accuses you of cheating when you didn't, is completely not helpful when you ask for help on homework. Incredibly arrogant and talks down to you. Doesn't grade anything until the last minute and then grades things inaccurately in the middle of the night and makes tons of mistakes. DON'T TAKE HIM!

The overall outline of this course is extremely confusing. As for Dr Ulrich, he is hands down the most condescending professor I've had. Don't think about asking him questions. He will talk down to you, and try and make you feel dumb for asking. Avoid this class at all costs.

Awful professor!!! He does not give directions on most of his online homeworks and expects you to figure it out. He says that you can email him with questions but his feedback is completely unhelpful and he is a jerk to most of his students that email him. Don't take his class!!

DO NOT TAKE ULRICH ONLINE! He uses a poorly constructed website you need to pay $50 for in order to see his poorly explained videos that could have easily been in Blackboard for free. He seems to care little about his teaching and is almost impossible to follow along. The learning videos are incredibly confusing and the class is disorganized

He is unreasonable. He always seems to care more about how people salute him and how the files are named for uploading while ignores all the hard work you have done.

This professor is a complete joke. He is a sarcastic ass on a power trip. He needs to get his head out of his butt and realize that he isn't king. He doesn't explain the work, which is all on a spreadsheet (making no sense whatsoever.) He does not clarify what he really wants. 0/10 do not recommend.

Avoid taking this professor. He has been the worst I have had. He took easy math and made it into an impossible task full of technicalities that made no sense whatsoever. You don't get a look at your grade until the end of the semester which is plain dumb. Too sarcastic. A bunch of "bonusland". Not helpful at all. Emails are sarcastic and rude.

I took this course because it was in my degree, he is hands down the worst professor I have ever had at ASU. I spent hours doing his homework and quizzes, that make no sense. When emailing him asking for help all he does is say "that is wrong, start all over". When asking for him to direct you in the right direction he will not help at all.

This guy's workbook is a joke, prepare to lose most of your graded points to ambiguous quiz questions that have little clarification in the actual lesson. Thumbs down

Dr. Ulrich is a difficult person and by far had the worst personality out my professors so far. He has an ego and is irritatingly condescending, he's the kind of man who quotes himself in his email signature. He was however very quick in responding to questions via email (if you formatted your email properly). I do think he wanted to help out.

DON'T take this professor for this online course. His notes are so incredibly confusing that even someone who understands the math concepts will be confused. Further, if you try to email him to clarify his very confusing instructions you will often be sent a reply that is equally as confusing or he'll just imply that you aren't working hard enough

It's tempting to take this guy's online courses, but don't. The material he covers is about half of what a normal linear algebra course should go through. He has an irritating personality and often takes points off without telling you why. Uses excel for everything even though the course says you're learning MatLAB. Easy A and still not worth it.

Awful professor. arrogant personality. You will struggle and he will make zero effort to help you. He's rude and extremely condescending. He makes this course 10 times harder than it needs to be. Easily the worst professor at ASU.

Overly particular about everything. Uses excel for all assignments and grades on how well you use excel over if you seemed to have learned anything. Is constantly rude to students and acts as if we are not worthy of his time. Avoid him if you actually want to learn the subject you're taking.

DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS!!! Throughout the semester I emailed the instructor back and fourth concerning grades and extra credit assignments. My grade would fluctuate from a "B" to an "A" as the semester passed. I would check my grades constantly but when it came time to submit the grades, he gave me a "D".

Would spend the first 15 minutes every day taking roll. Forced all work to be done in excel exclusively. He could be funny during the lectures but he was always pretty condescending still. You won't actually learn anything from here, as you'll just see videos of what formula to type into excel and which cells need to be placed there. Easy class tho

if you're a math or stats major, you probably shouldn't take this class. if you're a math minor and looking for an easy class, might be worth considering. You can get an A+ by doing all the work, but know that he is very condescending via email and you have to be able to download hw the second he posts it. Everything done HIS WAY in Excel.

As an engineer taking this class, linear algebra is a very critical topic to - so if you actually need to learn anything about the topic DO NOT take it with Ulrich. Easy A, but you won't learn a thing for future classes that you're expected to know from this class. He just flat out skips teaching the important material. Everything is done in Excel

Rude, arrogant. Encouraged you to ask for help and then when you did ask for help he just made you feel stupid. Dropped the class because his lack of being able to help or inability to not be rude

DONT EVER TAKE IT with Ulrich. He is the most picky person when it comes to the class. The material was fun to learn, but one of the worst teachers I have ever taken. Gives you a zero on assignments if you name the submission files wrong. When try to ask questions about assignments or about your grade he is very cryptic and I'm not sure why? DONT

Ulrich, is one of the professors that is rude when you ask him a question. He wants everything his way and he talks rude to his students. It was a mistake to take it with him. Never again.

Absolutely the most horrid professor I've ever had. He is rude & condescending, it doesn't matter what you are asking him about. If you fail to download any of the material in time, or if you have problems with the one you downloaded he will not send you a copy of it, just an automatic 0. He did not cover all the material either for the course.

Horrible, just horrible. First off he doesn't even complete the class. Our class left off the final 5 week section. He takes forever to post any sort of solution about the assignments so you will have no idea what you got wrong. Don't even try talking to him, he always responds with disrespectful smart remarks and makes it all your fault.

This class is basically "Can you follow instructions?" All that matters to him is formatting. Extra credit assignments about his personal life (like "what was the date I married my wife?" Is that Linear Algebra?). I got an A and learned NOTHING about linear algebra in this joke class. He didn't make it to the last unit (out of 3, that's 33%)

Ulrich is a tough grader and his class is unorganized. Gives homework and takes weeks to grade and pass back (sometimes he doesn't at all). Very annoying when you want to use your homework to study for an exam but it's not graded.

If you are studying anything other than a Math major then DONT TAKE . Im a vet major and this is the hardest class i have ever taken. He is rude in emails and dont even bother asking for help cause you wont get it. He is condescending and treats you like it is your fault you arent understanding the work. Expect to wait weeks for feedback on work

Worst professor I've had since I've been at ASU. He is not helpful, takes all his assignments off of blackboard multiple days before they are due, and does not care about his students success at all. If you email him, good luck at getting a good response that helps at all. He shouldn't be able to teach at a university. Terrible professor.

Has unorthodox conventions and will not give you the time of day if you do not follow them. Do not take this class. It's an easy grade. but he's a pain to deal with.

Do you have little to no interest in Discreet Math? Well professor Jon Ulrich is the perfect MAT 243 professor for you. Even though the stress level is low and he offers extra credit most classes , it is extremely frustrating seeing him try to beat his record on how much time he can waste each class, so far, its about 45 minutes.

Easy class to pass if you are capable, but you won't learn a damn thing. I have a 108% in discrete math, and the most complicated proof we've done is what you'll find in the second chapter of an eleven chapter pure math book. IF YOU WANT TO KNOW PROOFS ETC FOR COMPUTER SCIENCE, TAKE MAT300, WHICH COUNTS FOR THIS CREDIT.

I would never take another class with this professor. He is not only rude when answering emails, but also when it comes to his "review" of an assignment he barely helps. For one the reviews for the excel assignments he said everything looked great and no improvements to be made. After grading it he gives me a 60%. Unhelpful, don't take his class.

I took this class out of pure interest in Discrete Math--I simply wanted to learn math at a more abstract and advanced level. This class IS NOT for those who want to learn. "Dr." Ulrich literally just talks about his life, politics, or anything that isn't math for 30 minutes every single class. He's also obnoxiously anal about formatting.

Loves to talk about wanting to be pregnant and is anal about doing the homework his way. It is a waste of time to take this class.

Please dont take this guy. I dont know how he hasnt been fired yet. Wastes time in class. Does give extra credit but concerned its not going to be enough because he is very picky with his assignments and how you do them IN EXCEL.

Ulrich is insanely picky with the formatting in excel. You can email him the excel homework for him to check if its right before due date BUT he only tells you certain ones you got wrong and NO further explanation how to find the answer. Honestly, not that helpful. The quizzes are hard as well. I don't think I will even pass his class.

He is open for students to email him for help. HOWEVER, his responses cross a line. He can be rude. Really rude. Your answers have to be formatted exactly what he wants. ALSO, his Policies and Procedures are 30 something pages long. I would never take him again.

Ulrich is an incredibly strict professor. He is often distracted by different topics during class. He doesn't teach a whole lot about calculus and he is very particular on tests. I lost 10 points for not circling answers even though they were correct. He also comes across as very rude and high and mighty, as if you should know the material already.

If you want to get a high score, you must follow his strange format! I wonder what we need to learn is how to work out maths problems, know the basic concepts or the ridiculous format? I lost a lot of scores, even if my answers are correct because I did not follow his weird format as he wants to see!It is not fair to students who want high scores!

He is strict in his unique format, which is time-consuming and meaningless. He always tells unrelated stories in class most of the time. He is arrogant and rude to students because he is overconfident. I usually spend 6-8 hours on homework per week. I strongly recommend him to retire and do not poison students anymore.
