The best teacher!! Really cares about her students and willing to work with you! Gives tons of extra credit and extra points for coming for class! She does talk very fast so you need to be able to take good notes. Her test come strictly from her notes, i never even opened the book once! WONDERFUL PROFESSOR :]
I really enjoyed taking her a few years back, and hope she will continue to teach at TCC. Great teacher, will work with you to ensure you make a good grade. I took her for US gov. and it has been my fav. class since. She's just a cool person in general.
Definitely one of my favorite teachers!!! I wasnt convinced the first day but shortly after I knew I'd enjoy the class. She makes everything very interesting and easy to understand. I didn't even buy a text book and still learned a lot and got an A in her class and therefore did not have to take a final. Lover her!
SHE IS AWESOME. if your in class you will pass, make sure to study hard for test. She makes everything so easy to understand. lovvvvve her!
very knowledgable about the subject, very fun class to take. she lectures fast but i liked how she put it on a relatable level. gives TONS of bonus pts and show up to class. listening to instructions is a major emphasis
Ms. Uhlir changed her grading and she only lets you rewrite one essay exam not all them. She is now limiting your rework. So with the hard tests it is now an overall tough class but still worth every minute of attending. AMAZINGLY INTERESTING.
Made me interested in government. Now I'm in graduate school and I still use information she taught me in class.
I learned alot and really liked going to class.
She makes everything interesting and understandable. You can really relate. Tests are HARD! Essays--
No one ever wants to miss this class. I even talk to my friends about the discussions (about texas government!).
Ms. Uhlir creats an interest in gov. that i never expected to have. She is may fave prof even though her class requires alot of attention.
She's the greatest teacher ever! So much fun, made me want to come to class everyday!
Take her but be perpared to attend every lecture. She gives quizes for attendence but they are fun nothing hard. Her test are very hard but the essays are easy if you know your stuff. She is a fast talker so I would suggest you record her lectures or you will be lost. She is easy to get along with but be perpared to work for your grade.
Dr Uhlir has become one of my fav profs. I took her for TX & US, bc she made me actually want to attend class. Fast talker, but I strictly took hand notes & made As both semesters. Don?t buy a book, her tests are based off lectures, so attend, pay attention & put in a decent effort you?ll easily pass. She?s very relatable & makes class interesting.
Best prof I've ever had. She actually made government interesting. She's not easy, but go to class daily, take notes, study, and you'll be fine. You can get away with an out of date book, too; she mostly tests off lectures.
She was one of the best teacher i had in my life. She made the class very interesting.
Uhlir is beautiful and a ton of fun. Her way of teaching is perfect for a motivated student. You will have a fun quiz every day, lots of random games, tons of note taking (b/c she doesn't use book much), and challenging tests. You work for your grade but she also offers extra credit. Her personality is delightful and she brags on herself a lot.
best teacher ever, go to her lecures, funny and honest person, do her bonuses and attend class, tests are fair but not easy, didnt use a book.
Really Good Teacher. funny at times. cusses at times. her lectures are fast. and her test are somewhat hard. well for me at least . no text book. just take her notes. good teaching style
She has a very different teaching style and at times I found it difficult to understand. She gives you lots of chances though to make sure you pass and she is really funny!
Awesome professor!
She is a really good teacher,attendance is not mandatory but if you go it will helpo you at the end, we didnt use the bo.
oMG she's an amazingly awesome and a very helpful teacher. i would highly recommend her to those who are looking for an easy teacher =)
I loved this class. The tests are easy if you study. You have to go to class everyday because you get a grade for attendance. Dr. U is really nice and easy to understand. I'd take her agan if I could.
I wish she teached the second half of govt b/c i would sit in this ladies class all day. she swears and she will tell u if u dont like it then ur in the wrong class. her test are multi and essay. essays are easy if u write the notes down. she does a review before each test. if u bomb the essay u can rewrite it for extra points. go to class everyday
She's on my top 10 list of coolest teacher's I've ever had. She's fun, entertaining and VERY imformative. I love that she started the class with philosophy. It set up my interest level from the beginning. TAKE HER CLASS!
This teacher was so awesome. I wish every teacher was this great. Go to her class, she does not put any notes online!!! Make friends in your class, you'll need them. She is into govt philosophy! Lots of memorization! Take notes, compare with friends. Ask questions. She talks a mile a min! I enjoyed her class! + she gives extra creadit!
She talks super fast doesn't have power points for you to copy from. Test are super hard!!! You have to study study study!! You do learn alot. This is not a blow off class only four test grades!!Does give extra credit.
Don't need the text book. 4 tests (difficult but manageable), if you have an "A" on the last day of class you don't have to take the final (which is comprehensive). Fast talker, interesting lecturer, learned a lot from her classes (US and TX govt). She talks fast and a voice recorder is really helpful for a slow writer like myself and is a great st
If you want to study hard and learn about Greek philosophers, then this class is for you! She does keep your attention, but if you're there to get the credit and move on, then find an easier professor. She has 8 degrees and wants to make sure you benefit from them!
I took her during summer school - she's fabulous. Really teaches so that you can understand and recall the information. She goes through the philosophy behind government as well as the specifics of US Government. Tests are mostly Essay, so be prepared.
She is by far my favorite teacher I've had since i started school! She keeps the lessons interesting and teaches her life lessons in her lectures! SHES AMAZING!
best teacher ever! she's a badass! truly made me love coming to class everyday. You have to take government, so why not take her? You will not regret it!
One of my favorite teachers ever, easy to understand and makes sure she gets all her points across. Would highly recommend to anyone, would definitely take another class with her again.
Such a great teacher! Got an A in Government and I am taking 2 more of her classes this semester. She makes learning fun and is VERY clear. Don't need text book...TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!!!!!!!! She is AWESOME!
She is good at giving lectures and makes class fun. Her tests get progressively harder and harder, but she does give EC for random things. She loves what she does and really wants her students to do well. Study and go to class and you will be fine.
Dr. Uhlir makes government fun. She is extremely smart and cares about her students. Wish I needed more government for my major. Take her class!
She is a very good teacher. Starts the semester off with a philosophical bend which is nice. Don't need the book. You need to show for class and take notes. She gives reviews. You have to work for your grade, but it is manageable. I only wish she went into the government processes a little more. Overall great teacher, definitely made govt fun
BEST TEACHER EVER! i greatly recommend you to take her! She makes class interesting and relates all her lectures with everyday things. her class is extremely easy if you pay attention and take down notes. Tests are faily easy also. I would definatly take other classes with her.
BEST TEACHER EVER! As long as you actually attend class, pay attention, and take note, this class is SO easy to pass. She relates things to every day life which makes learning gov't fun. YOU DON'T EVEN NEED YOUR BOOK!
The greatest teacher i have had. if you like government she will go in depth about the philosophy behind it. if you don't just pay attention and take good notes. she treats her students very well, and is very fun. you don't need a book. There is no homework, and tons of extra credit. it is very easy to make an A.
Very smart and very fun. She will teach you! She makes everything clear to where a monkey can understand. BEST PROFESSOR EVER!! just show up for class and take good notes. offers tons of extra credit.
Take her! She makes this class interesting and fun. Tests are fairly easy; make sure you take good notes, and do not miss class.
She is The Truth!
Greatest professor ever. Go to class. It's worth it. Her lectures made government so much more interesting, and I thought it was going to be a bore. She's not the most traditional teacher, but she's quick to answer questions and interacts with the class. Very admirable. Tell her to teach the other professors a thing or two.
Wonderful prof. Though she taught mostly on philosophy rather than American History, she inspired me to add a philosophy major!
Has to be one of my most favorite teachers of all time! Totally makes the class interesting which makes you want to go to class everyday and participate! Take her class! Don't even think about it just go ahead and add her to your schedule! You won't regret it!
SHE IS THE BEST TEACHER ALIVE. I took her for an 8am class and never wanted to fall asleep once! If you're a auditory learner and take really good notes, this class will be a breeze. She is so relatable and funny! Gives a ton of extra credit and her test aren't too bad. I absolutely recommend her.
She IS interesting & she give LOTS of extra credit, but I won't be taking her again. Her lectures are scattered and hard to follow if you're trying to take notes. Her grading style is inconsistent and very frustrating. Her tests are long and hard to finish in time, but she does allow make-ups. She thinks she is all knowing..so don't question her.
She is the best
She knows her stuff! She is a great teacher, I was NEVER not interested in what she taught. She is always willing to help you no matter what! Only 4 test, and if you have an A no final. Also go to class to take notes. dont expect to pass if you skip.
she's really cool. teaches you a lot. you do have to go to class. study for the test and you'll do great!
Best government teacher ever! Especially if you like Philosophy!
Dr. U's class is super easy, and she makes class interesting. You do not need a book. She gives tons of extra credit. Makes sure you go everyday (get extra points on your final) if you pass with an A you don't have to even take the final. definitely recommend this class!
Ms. Uhlir is an awesome teacher, I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who asks. Wanted her for 2306 but she wasn't scheduled to teach it this semester. :(
She is awesome!!! She knows her stuff, which I love. No notes or powerpoints needed. She has a great personality, and offers a good amount of extra credit to help add some extra points to your tests. Makes government fun and interesting! Would def recommend!
Best teacher at TCC! She made government very interesting! Don't even need a book! Best of all, there is A LOT of extra credit!! TAKE HER CLASS, YOU WON'T REGRET IT!
Dr. Uhlir was an amazing teacher. The entire class is lecture so you have to be sure to be in class daily, but there is no homework. She was very interesting to listen to and explained things very well. I would highly recommend her. If you show up to class and take notes it is almost difficult to not get an A, and if you have an A - No Final!!
Doctor U is awesome! She made US Government a very intresting subject. All lecture but she is very energetic and intresting to watch. If you take good notes and attend class daily should be an easy A. Four test mostly multiple choice and one short essay. The attendance replaces your lowest test grade so show up! Offers alot of extra credit as well
OMG best professor I've had in my entire life!I am in no way shape or form interested in Govt but she found a way to keep me engaged. No assignments only tests unless extra credit. The class is easy if you TAKE LOTS OF NOTES! Her tests come straight from her lectures so although she's not anal about attendance it's in your best interest to show up!
Dr. Uhlir is amazing. She makes everything interesting. She has more energy than anyone I know. Exams are tough but you want to go to class every day.
She's awesome. Gives extra credit. Talks fast at times, but if you take good notes and just study them you should pass.
I had her for Govt I summer. She is greatness! Easy! Two thing's that are a must for her class...A recorder! And be able to write fast and write EVERYTHING bc there is no book. What she says IS THE TEST!!! Easy A!!!
Best professor ever. You need to go to class. Tests are hard. She has cut out alot of extra credit but what she does give is redoing your work. You LEARN!
Best teacher ever!!! Her classes are interesting but attendance is mandatory. Her tests are hard but if you study her notes. You'll be fine. :)
Best prof. EVER. want proof? just read all the comments :).
If you're a person who learns aurally, visually and with stories then this class will be very clear and concise to you. She tends to do into depth with the information she presents by real world applications. Never used the textbook, but if you miss class you will need to read the textbook. Her tests are fairly easy and are from the notes.
Words simply can't describe how euphoric she is :) no questions asked best teacher I've ever had. Not only did she help me educationally but also mentally she help me break out of my shell very inspiring teacher ( I hope these brief words help you to decided but I highly recommend this teacher to anybody.
I love Dr. Uhlir, her US Govt class was one of the best I've ever taken. Fantastic lecturer, I was never bored. She offers tons of extra credit opportunities and it's absolutely possible for EVERYONE to make an A if they put in the work (show up, read your notes, do extra credit if need be). No need to buy the book.
Test VERY HARD...but lts of opportunity to redo your work...helps to learn!
This was the second time I had taken Goverment, And while I failed the 1st time, I left that class with a A+++ She is VERY helpful, willing to give out Extra Credit at every second! She's super nice and let us dress up on Halloween for extra credit!! She'll understand if you miss class for family stuff like me, but otherwise attend class!!
By far the best teacher ever, and for the caliber of her expertise she's without a doubt the best teacher ever! With that being said go to class every day, and take a lot of notes
Favorite teacher I have taken in my whole schooling experience. DEFINITLEY RECOMMEND. Need to go to class. Don't need book. Lots of extra credit. Class is very interesting.
Best professor ever! Her class is so much fun. As long as you take notes of her lectures and do the extra credit, you will receive an A. Her exams are like her lectures. I would record them. She is also very funny!! Made me want to go to class every time.
Like everyone has stated so far, Uhlir is indeed by far the best, absolutely brilliant! I look forward going to class everyday. Textbook is not necessary. Tests do get harder as you go so study. Also, definitely take advantage of the extra credits. Take her, you will not regret it!
Professor Uhlir has been the best professor/teacher I have ever had so far! AMAZING professor and she's HILARIOUS!! Exams are just like the lectures. Gives out a lot of extra credit!! Study her lectures and do the extra credit and you will get an A, just like I did. TAKE HER!!
Wonderful teacher. Very intelligent, very helpful. Gave a LOT of extra credit. Made a someodd 439/400 pts. Tests are a bit taxing, but she combines MC, Fill in the blank, T/F, short answer and essay. Take her if you can!
Loved this class, honestly I would recommend her anytime. When I go to take government I plan on taking her for my classes. Absolutely loved her excitement and nuttiness.
Professor Uhlir has to be the best teacher I stumbled upon at TCC. Her lectures were sometimes different, but it helped you understand the concept. She's very intelligent and you won't fail unless you never show up. I just loved her and you will too!
Had Uhlir for Dual Credit... She's super cool. Her class definitely interested me, but the tests were so long and I couldn't remember all of it. She's one of those people who wants to help as much as possible!
Dr. Uhlir was hands down my favorite class this semester, and I only wish I could take her again. She tells a lot of stories so students can relate, and gives you everything you need to know on her tests. I studied, and I typically got around a B, I'm sure you could do better, but she's more concerned with you learning than you getting grades.
Dr. Uhlir is a phenomenal professor. She is very helpful and gives a lot of extra credit. She is very thorough and gives great lectures. She gets an A+ from me!
I wish I could take her again. She is probably the coolest professor at TCC. Don't need the textbook, just show up everyday,and take good notes. Only class I didn't miss just because I enjoyed her class every day
After over 45 hours of college, she is still one of my top 2 favorite professors. JUMO THROUGH HOOPS TO TAKE HER CLASS. She likes to tie lots of philosophy into her class. She really cares about her students.
A great teacher with a bit of a mouth on her. She is a very vocal teacher. She test hard, but offers many, many extra credit opportunities to get a good grade. Lecture was always interesting. Handwriting wasn't the best put has long and frequent office hours if you have questions. One of my favorite professors all time.
I loved taking Dr Uhlir this past Fall semester! She is the best teacher!! I recommend her to everyone. She gives lots of extra credit so I strongly suggested you do all of it. write notes because the test come of the notes. Go to class regally it's totally worth it. She wants her students to do well. She has faith in all her students.
I had Dr. U for US govt and when at the last minute she switched to a Texas Class, I add dropped to get her again. She is the best professor EVER! She cares about students and her passion for teaching is inspiring! She has changed my life.
She is a great teacher, knows what she is talking about. She is very interesting to listen too and really funny! if you are offended easily by cussing, then do not take her class. I understood her lectures clearly and made an A in the class. Study the notes and you will pass!
I have never rated a teacher in my life but, Ms. Uhlir deserves it. TONS of extra credit. If you do bad on the test, she always goes through it and gives you half of the points for a retry. Your class attendance counts as a test. I passed the class with 108%. I am not a all booksmart and im lazy. needless to say, take her.
Uhlir is so passionate about the subject, you'll never be bored. She ties in stories so it makes it easier to remember. Tests are hard, ALWAYS study! She gives so many extra credit opportunities, I don't see how anybody could fail her class. I definitely recommend her.
Dr. Uhlir is amazing! Her lectures are interesting even if you don't like government. She gives you an attendance grade but uses it to replace your lowest test grade and gives out a bunch of homework! Super easy class and so easy to get an A!!
I've never written a review for a professor but I fell like she deserves it . One of the best professors I have ever taken. She takes a government class and makes it so great. I've never been so interested in a lecture from a class. I took her in Maymester and if you can keep me paying attention for 4.5 hours , your'e doing something right!!!!!
She makes it so interesting and fun! She uses stories to relate to the material which makes it easier to understand and remember. Have to take your own notes; she lectures, but writes some on the board. If you are offended by cussing, don't take her class. As long as you try, you'll get a good grade. Absolutely loved her class!
Dr. Uhlir is such an awesome professor. She keeps the class very interesting and offers so much extra credit that can help you pass with in A. Her tests are very hard but her studying methods help. You don't need the book if you go attend class. She is all about helping her students. Take her!
She is awesome! Her lectures are funny and interesting. I learned a lot. Lots of extra credit opportunities. Easy A!!
Dr. Uhlir is an awesome professor. If you attend everyday, don't buy the book. notes, notes, notes! take them! She's hilarious. She steals your attention and keeps it throughout the lecture. Tests are extremely hard so make sure you study for them. Tons of extra credit. overall Dr. Uhlir is an AMAZING professor. recommend her to everyone!
She was awesome, made govt fun. Don't buy the book but she has you take a lot of notes. Tests are hard but if you study and complete all extra credit you will get an A!!!
Dr. Uhlir is amazing! She does straight-up lectures. She is passionate and is so helpful. The examples she uses are humorous and really easy to understand. A's are easy if you attend every class because her tests come straight out of what she says and she is very nice when it comes to perfect attendance and listening to her instructions.
Uhlir is fantastic!! She is really interesting and funny and her lectures are more like stories that illustrate her points. She gives tons of extra credit and gives essay questions for the test in advance. If you show up, take good notes, and review before each test, you'll pass with flying colors.
Dr. Uhlir is the absolute BEST! She is clear and to the point. She keeps the lectures interesting and entertaining with her choice language and alluding stories. No book! No homework! Her tests are multi-formatted. Tests come straight from lecture; notes are on your own. There is new material everyday-If you don't come to class you won't pass.
She was the best professor I've had. She's always there to help, and she gives lots of extra credit.
Dr. Uhlir is an amazing professor, she makes the material relatable and comprehensive in her lectures. Also, she gives ample opportunity for extra points and is very funny. Love her!
Dr. Uhlir is an awesome professor! That's not to say that her class is an easy A, her tests are multi-format and if you don't study, you will not pass. She gives loads of extra credit and is always there to ask questions. TAKE NOTES!!!!!!!!! Definitely make sure to go to class, as attendance is a grade as well. I would recommend her to anyone!
Loved her class! She made Government fun and used real life examples to help you understand the material. She gives TONS of extra credit so even if you don't do well on the tests you can make up for it easily. Try not to skip too much class unless you have someone record her lectures. She is very helpful and will answer any question you have.
I loved this teacher. I would take her again in a heartbeat. She is fun, uses personal experience to explain it. Lots of nice "quizzes" first thing in class (all personal answers, not related to class). Cusses a lot as well. Test are hard though.
Great teacher, shares a lot of stories related to her lectures. Notes are essential, and tests are tough!
Dr. Uhlir is an outstanding professor. she gives really good lectures and makes class interesting. There was almost no hw, and no paper or essay. just lectures and tests. the tests are quite hard but if you study a lot you should be fine. also gives tons of extra credit and drops the lowest test grade. one of the best professors ive had. Recomend!!
I don't understand why students say she's funny. Maybe I was so busy being annoyed, I missed her humorous side. She's out to trick students on the tests; plus, they're filled with grammatical errors. For how smart she claims to be, one would think she would proofread her tests before handing them out to students. It made for a good laugh though.
She gives energetic lectures and interesting stories. A few of her tests are difficult essay tests, but she offers a lot of extra credit throughout the semester (not all at once). You should be fine if you treat extra credit as regular assignments. Entire grade is tests and EC. Only problem is NO textbook, so good notes important! Can't miss lects.
Tests are very hard and the essays will kill you. Read the instructions or you will lose 10 points. If you are willing to do a lot of fairly easy extra credit you can get an A+ no problem even if you get C's on all of your test like I did. She drops your lowest test grade with an attendance grade if that helps your grade, so show up! Best teacher
SUMMER CLASS STUDENTS TAKE HER AND YOU WONT REGRET IT. HER TESTS ARE BASED OFF OF THE NOTES IN CLASS . YOU WONT NEED A BOOK! SHE IS HILARIOUS AND THE BEST GOVERMENT TEACHER EVER!! I LOVE THIS CLASS AND WOULD TAKE HER AGAIN JUST FOR FUN! I WISH SHE TAUGHT ALL OF MY SUBJECTS!
One month before the end of the semester, and she's just begun talking about Texas Government. The syllabus says that's what she is supposed to talk about 2 months ago. Spent almost 23 of the semester on philosophical theories, seemed quite off-topic from Texas Government. Easy A probably but I don't feel like I learnt anything from this class.
She's the best teacher I've ever had! She ties a lot of philosophy into her lectures, her class is easy if you just show up and take notes, her lectures are very entertaining, gives loads of extra credit. She will drop your worst test grade and put your attendance grade in instead.
Her lectures are amazing. You might need to record them though. She teaches about political philosophies so you gain more than what you gain from a normal POLS class. Tests are tough but she offers a lot of extra credit so making a good grade isn't difficult.
Greatest teacher I've ever taken! She is absolutely amazing!! I would take her again. The exams are VERY tricky, so please, PLEASE, read the instructions, and beware of HOW you read the questions. She makes them trick questions, because she wants you to THINK for yourself. She's hilarious, and reasonable. There is MANY extra credit opportunities!
She is a very humorous and exciting professor. Don't take this class if you skip class often because you will not pass the exams by simply reading the book and she gives short and easy attendance quizzes in the beginning of class. We had a total of four exams. If you have an A after these four exams, you don't have to take the comprhensive final.
the class is very tough but Dr. Uhlir is very helpful and offers many opportunities for extra credit. You have to take details notes from her lectures and study everyday to succeed on the tests. if you do the extra credit and go to class everyday you'll do great.
You need to pay attention in class but it pays off. She will teach you a lot of stuff, all you have to do is show up, listen and take notes. She does not teach out of the book and gives an attendance grade and a lot of extra credit. She only reviewed for the first test so notes are important. She did not have a calendar posted so pay attention!
horrible hand writing so giving lecture in the class is not really helpful !!! She only give the main points and she explain about them . Tests are tough and her timing not organized no syllabus nothing.
Took Prof Uhlir for Summer 1 & loved her! Easy to take notes from lectures if you use a laptop, she talks fast and doesn't write down the in depth information on the board. If you follow what she says you'll be good. She gives a lot of anecdotes as examples of points. Very fun and cool professor. Tons of extra credit. I finished with 542500 points
Dr. Uhlir gives great lectures, full of real-life examples and she has a way of connecting with us students that sets her apart from other professors. I took her for the summer sessions, half expected it to take over my life, but she made the class fun and very interesting. Make sure to do the extra credit and attend every day!
She's a great teacher. She loves her students. If you attend her classes nd take notes then u will definitely get A+ and she gives a lot of extra credits. She even gives marks for attending her classes and replace it with ur lowest grade. Her tests are tough but you can still get A. I recommend all to take her. She gives Brownies and chocolates.
Dr. Uhlir is the best professor I have had so far. Her lectures are amazing and so is her teaching style. Tests are not too hard if you study and definitely go to the test review sessions. She gives a lot of extra credit to make up for the hard tests. It is easy to get an A. Attend her class everyday because she will replace it with a low test grad
An amazing instructor, be sure to do every option for improving grades. Passing without rework is hard.
Prof. Uhlir is a great instructor, you will definitely laugh as well as learn in her class, her tests are tough but reading the instructions goes a very long way, I would definitely take her again If I had to take another government class...
Doctor Uhlir is by far the best professor I have ever had. Her lectures are easy to understand and super fun. She is very very generous with extra credit assignments, take advantage. Her test are extremely hard but if you study you will get the A. Also if you make an A for the semester you do not have to take the final. 4 test and a final.
Doctor Uhlir is definitely the best professor I have ever had! She makes everything relatable and funny and her tests are all based off your notes so take good notes! She gives a lot of opportunity for extra credit, too! :) Also don't buy the textbook you don't use it at all!!
Sweet women. Cares for all of her students. This class became hard for me because I already had known about everything to know in federal government, but you learn about philosohpies and makes you think about things that impact government, not strictly learning on facts about the government. Abundance of extra credit, if you fail your fault.
Honestly my favorite professor ever. The class is easy to pass, but the tests are brutal. She really expects a lot from her students, and she's super willing to help you out.
Really great professor, made what would be boring lectures really interesting and engaging. Textbook isn't required because she covers everything she tests over! Also gives TONS of extra credit opportunities.
Dr. Uhlir is the best government teacher at TCC hands down. She teaches how to study for her tests, gives tons of extra credit, and goes over any questions on material before moving to the next section during lectures. She truly loves what she does and it shows. Honestly you'll get more "real world use" out of this class than any other in college.
Uhlir was a easy teacher to work with, gave lots of extra credit. A few tests but gives a solid review game for candy. Lectures are fast paced with hilarious turns. Uhlir was to the point and gave a lot of information that we actually can use, not just stuff we do not care for.
Best teacher I have ever had. Her lectures are amazing, funny, and you learn a lot of practical life lessons too. She cares about you as a person and focuses on teaching you HOW to succeed and setting you up for success for the rest of your education. Her tests are hard, but she drops the lowest and gives so much opportunity for extra credit.
2305govt love her as a person and teacher . need to be on time she starts class on time attendance is a must . test are cover exactly what is covered in lectures . NO HOMEWORK extra credit worth it she is awesome take her she makes u want to learn
Dr. Uhlir is such a helpful and funny professor! She does allow you to record but NO PHOTOS of her. She speaks and writes on the bored no powerpoints so take good notes and you will pass. She knows her stuff and knows
Hands down the best government teacher I've ever had. Hilarious, thorough,answers all questions and very energetic, especially for an 8am class! Tests are difficult but are easier if you study. she tells you exactly what you'll be tested on. gives lots of EC to help your grade, gives good feedback, and uses "real world" examples to help explain.
It's impossible to fail this class. Gives tons of extra credit, has good lectures. I took Government twice before and dropped both times, she actually makes class interesting and fun. IMPOSSIBLE TO FAIL THIS CLASS!!! Show up, get attendance points, do extra credit. Don't need the book.
Paying attention is a must! She doesn't use power points so bring a notebook or audio recorder and be prepared to write. She makes the lecture material super interesting, and it's clear she's doing what she loves which makes the class so much more enjoyable. She also hands out LOADS of extra credit which is helpful because tests are difficult!!
She's super cool, really nice, and totally hilarious. If you have the chance to take her class, do.
Took her for a Maymester and she was amazing, I ended up with a 107% after doing ALL the extra credit and studied hard. She makes this class fun by interjecting stories and humor.
Dr. Uhlir was very good. She gave great lectures, and was straight forward. I didn't like how we started off with a bit of philosophy but it did help me understand policies. Tests are pretty hard, you have to study! Don't skip class because you will miss vital info. Get ready to write a lot, and record lectures. Study, show up, and you will pass.
She cares whether you pass or not. As long as you put in the effort, she will work with you. more than enough extra credit is offered with plenty of time to complete it. applies lectures to real life situations so you can better understand. hilarious. great professor overall. would DEFINITELY take her class again.
Loved her class, Best professor I've ever had. if you fail or make anything less than an A it's your fault. She is the best
There is no reason to fail her class. She gives plenty of opportunities with extra credit. She helped me learn better ways to study. She is the best teacher I have ever had.
Best teacher ever
Amazing professor, one whose lectures and advice will stay with me forever. Take the 8-weeks session and you'll most likely get more M/C tests than essays. One of ours was even a take-home test. If you aren't a good note taker or critical thinker, you may struggle on tests, but there are plenty of fun extra credit opportunities to make up for it.
I was worried about taking a governemnt class but Professor Uhlir is amazing! She's really funny and her lectures are engaging. She gives plenty of extra credit opportunities and as long as you show up, you don't need to buy the book.
I know everyone is saying this but its super true, Dr U is hands down the best professor I've ever had. Her lectures are totally relatable. Just show up & take really good notes. Her tests are kind of hard but if you're not a strong test taker she literally gives you a ton of extra credit. You cant fail this class, it's almost impossible LOL.
Dr. Uhlir was AMAZING! Not a difficult class, tons of extra credit, interesting lectures... No textbook needed. Attend class because attendance is part of your grade. Easy class, take this professor!
Great teacher who really takes the time to make sure you understand. If you have any questions go to her during office hours, it helps a ton.
she has a terrible hand writing since she writes her notes on board . tests are hard if you don't study good . as a professor she is really nice and she helps you if you ask her for help.
This class is super easy to get an A in, so if you're looking to take an easy government class than this is for you. However, I wouldn't take her class again. Overall it was more a philosophy class than a government class and Professor Uhlir uses a lot of language which did not appeal to me at all.
super easy class to pass , but you should come to class everyday that will replace on of the exam, and do every extra credit will worth 100 point. if you do all extra credit and attendance class you will be fine.
Dr.U is the BEST professor that I've ever had. A few tips if you're considering taking her class: DO IT!, Go to class bc attendance is a big part of your grade, tests are difficult, but not impossible, tons of extra credit, be prepared to take notes, and is an easy A if you apply yourself
Dr. Uhlir is a great professor, definitely knowledgeable, and does not let personal political views get in the way of covering material. Follow all instructions on tests and do the many extra credit assignments and her class is an easy A. Her tests are difficult, but nothing to stress out over.
Show up to class if you want to pass, her test are over her lectures. Her lectures are good and interesting for the most part but honestly she is pretty full of herself which is kindof annoying, She'll brag about her life, her kid, her old marriageS, how much money she has, and how she's the best on campis. Get past that and she'll good.
She is awesome!!!!!! tests are heavy but as long as you show up to class everyday you should be okay, she is very interesting and inspiring would definitely recommend taking her class.
She's the best teacher I've had so far! There's 4 test and the final, if you have an A in her class you don't have to take the final!! Attendance does matter! She gives you so many opportunities to do extra credit, so do it! You honestly cannot fail her class, just make sure you show show up, and do the extra credit.
She made Gov't so fun. very outgoing and spunky. no books needed, just write notes about her lecture and what she writes on the board. 4 test plus final. also drops a test if participation/attendance is higher. if you get 360 out of 400, the final is an automatic pass! her test are multiple choice, essays and define vocab. it was nuts, but fun!
Loved her, you will learn a lot in her class. BUT her test are very hard, you need to think outside the box with her test. it is really easy to pass because she gives you so many extra credit. she takes your lowest test grade and puts it to a 100 also. she's super funny with her storys she tells. if you have a 360 in class you don't have final.
Professor Uhlir is amazing she gives interesting lectures, and really wants you to succeed. Her tests are quite difficult ,if you just write clear concise notes from her lectures and study ,you can pass those no problem. She provides many opportunities to help you through extra credit. She is really open and understanding. I would take her again.
The best teacher I have ever had in my life. The amount of life lessons I learned in this class were so surprising. She truly cares, gives plenty of extra credit. If you show up, listen, take notes, and study- you will get an A. I had her a year ago, and Im going to visit her next week to catch up!
Awesome professor, her lesson is easy to understand and remember because it's specific and step by step.
One of the best teachers I've ever had. I have her for dual credit and she gives so much advice to us as high school seniors going into college and just life lessons, she super funny and always has amazing stories. Unfortunately she doesn't teach at the college I'll be going to but if she was I would definitely take her again
The good: no homework; textbook not required (but if you miss a class, you miss a LOT of information); very engaging lectures; tons of extra credit; SI study sessions available. The bad: No visuals; tests are long and can be difficult (only 3-5 people ever make an A per semester); Uhlir likes to humblebrag a lot. If you're not lazy, you can pass.
Such a great teacher! I took her for federal government, my worst subject, and it was so much fun! Notes are based off of what she writes on the board, no outline, no powerpoint. You need to attend class. No textbook!! Gives a lot of extra credit. TAKE HER
Great teacher and just overall really cool, i would definitely take her class again. Show up read your notes and you will pass.
All i have to say is: TAKE HER, GETTING AN A IS A SURE BET. i didn't have to take the finals because i already have an A with her extra credits. and for those that want to really learn, she uses a lot of medium to explain things, so you would understand her unless you are a dummy dumb. 5 months ago i knew nothing about USA and her govt. now, wow!!
The BEST professor I have ever had! She makes you really enjoy government which is not an easy thing to do! She truly loves teaching and makes it an a amazing learning environment. I wish every professor could be like her! She is super busy but always available to help you out. It is almost impossible to fail because of all of the extra credit!
Ms. Uhlir was so fun and one of my best professors. She sets up the class to where it's hard to fail. Do ALL her extra credit and study for the tests and you will receive an A. Her tests are very hard buttt she is super nice and understanding. She will work with you and gives tons of extra credit!! Loved her class a lot!!
She is such an amazing teacher and she is so much fun. But you do need to come to class your attendance grade drops your lowest test grade. Her tests are hard so you need to study and record her lectures she talks fast. But she has so much energy i wish she taught all of my classes.
Dr. Uhlir is one of a kind. She is an awesome professor and she is really good at explaining things. She gives plenty of extra credit and she gives you ways to pass the class. Her tests are HARD but if you study you will at least pass. Would definitely take her class again. TAKE HER CLASS
Dr. Uhlir is one of a kind. She gives plenty of extra credit so you cannot fail her class. She is very understanding of students. Her tests are HARD but if you study you will likely pass. You do not need the textbook and she does not give homework. She as a great way of explain things while teaching. TAKE HER CLASS! also, go to class!
Professor Uhlir is amazing!!! She tells so many stories that really help you remember what she is talking about and she relates topics in government to real life topics so it is easier to understand. She gives SO much extra credit so take advantage of all of it!! There are 4 tests that consist of MC, essays, and SAQ. A in classdon't take final
Dr. Uhlir is an amazing person. She is funny and her lectures are never boring. Show up to class EVERYDAY and you will get 100 points added to total. You should do all the extra credits because you can get up to 100 points for it. If you follow what she says, you will get an A without taking final. She really wants her students to succeed.
Fantastic lectures, tests are only from material she covers in class so don't bother buying the book. Her exams aren't easy but if you show up, pay attention and take good notes, you'll do well. Tests always include multiple choice, short answer and essay. Plenty of extra credit. She's a great story teller, would love to take her class again!
I had her and I'd do her again. The lectures had visual appeal to keep you interested.
Dr. Uhlir is a tough grader. She makes you work for it if you really want to be exempt from the final exam. To be exempt from the final, you must have an A+ by the week before finals begin. Beware tests during the semester are difficult esp. the essay questions which carries the most points. Record& write lectures. Every attendance is a grade.
She was always very energetic and sometimes it was contagious, especially for morning classes. Her test are very difficult but she offers a bunch of extra credit.
Dr Uhlir has the best lectures and stories EVER!!!! Although her tests are nightmares. Attendance is a grade so be present for an easy 100. She offers a ton of easy extra credit. To be exempt from the final... you must have an A by finals week.
Absolutely loved Dr. Uhlir's class! Took her for Fed. Gov. and I plan on taking her for Texas Gov. ASAP! She tells a lot of stories and makes the material enjoyable even when it is semi boring. She is very funny and easy going. Easily one of my favorite professors ever! 10/10 recommend taking her class!
Dr. Uhlir's lectures are super funny and entertaining! This class is straight lecture. She provides endless amounts of easy extra credit. But beware her tests are super hard, they're no joke!
Dr. Uhlir lectures the whole time, but it is very entertaining. You need to take notes for this class! Her test are pretty hard, but she gives a lot of extra credit opportunities. I would recommend her to anyone taking government.
Always show up or class! she makes getting up at 8 am worth it. Takes thorough notes and study hard for her tests.
I LOVE HER! She is so amazing. Easy to follow lectures, humorous, and extra credit opportunities. If you failed, then you weren't putting in effort.
Professor Uhlir is an extraordinary speaker, her class keeps you engaged and learning. Her tests are tough only because you have to really know the information to get a good grade. She gives tons of extra credit and her TA is great for studying sessions.
Dr. Uhlir is an amazing professor! She makes class very interesting and understandable. Be ready for her exams, they are hard and long. Take notes, pay attention, and most importantly attend class and you'll be good. She offers tons of extra credit you can do. Lastly, there are SI sessions you can go to that will get you ready for the exams.
Dr. Uhlir is a great professor. She is really passionate about teaching and helping students succeed. Her class is very lecture heavy, but she makes it super interesting. Although the class is NOT an easy A, she makes it super fun! I would definitely recommend taking her class :)
Dr. Uhlir is one of the most intelligent professors I have met at TCC. She knows her material & cares about her students. Her class is not an Easy A. Her tests are hard, no study material besides attending lectures and taking your own notes. You have to attend, pay attention, take notes & study. Many EC opportunities to help balance her exams.
YOU HAVE TO SHOW UP FOR CLASS, that is all. She is a very attractive teacher, who really cares, her tests aren't all that easy and you have to study for them. She does get a little annoying by how much bragging she does about herself and family, like we get it, you and your family are successful.
Dr. uhlir is an amazing teacher!! she is funny and cares a lot for her students! she gives A LOT of EC opportunities bc her lectures are VERY heavy and her test are NOT that easy. You have to study, take notes, and record her lectures because it she can go really fast. She DOES NOT use powerpowers. shes always up and active during all her lectures.
You can get up to 100 points of extra credit. Attendance is mandatory if you dont go you will be lost. she does drop and replace a test. if you get a A in the class after EXAM 4, you don't have to take the final. VERY HEAVY LECTURES AND EXAMS. Tough grader, but overall great class!
Dr. Uhlir is an AMAZING professor. Her lectures are very good, and she does a great job of relating them to your daily lives and portraying them in a manner in which you can best understand. She offers extra credit, which you will need since the tests are a little rough and lengthy. One of the best professors I've had.
She is an amazing professor. You have to be able to come to class everyday and listen really well because she doesn't use powerpoint or notes. She gives tons of extra credit and DO IT!!! I wouldn't have made an A in the class if I didn't do all of the extra credit. Her lectures are funny and interesting but her handwriting is bad. Take her!!
Best professor I've ever had. Her lectures are funny and entertaining and I genuinely looked forward to every class. If you pay attention and take notes you will not only pass the class, but also gain a great amount of knowledge. Her tests aren't easy, but she replaces the lowest with the attendance grade. It was sad when the semester was over.
Dr. U has been the most exciting class I have ever been in. She makes class super fun and she enjoys what she does. There is a bunch of extra credit points. Attendance is definitely mandatory or you will miss information for tests.
She is hilarious, and as a person who sucks at government I actually learned something in this class! Her test are super hard, but she offers a bunch of extra credit to help. I never got a higher test grade than a 85 and I finished the class with an A+. She gives points for attendance and if you skip you will miss a lot of material so show up!
She's an awesome teacher. Her classes are all lectures but she always keeps it interesting I would suggest recording her lectures, it really helps with exams. The only grades you'll receive are for exams but she gives tons of extra credit that would make up for any bad grade.
She is one of the most amazing prof I could ever have. I wish she could teach Texas govt too. She is just too amazing. you will never feel bored when you are in her class. I will miss the way you teach. Take her class, come to class everyday, do extra credits you will get an A.
Oh man this class is a joy! At first i thought she was crazy, after the first test i was 99% sure of it. As time passed she become much less crazy. Her lectures are fun and a joy to attend. She definitely knows what shes talking about. Attendance is mandatory. At the end of the semester she drops your lowest test grade with attendance your grade.
She is absolutely amazing but oh my her test give me nightmares. Make sure to go to class her test are based on what comes out of her mouth and she drops your lowest test grade with your attendance quizzes which is an easy 100, you will need it.
She is just amazing. I wish I had her for every class I took. She is very energetic, even at 8am. You will never get bored in her lectures and she replaces the lowest test grade with your attendance grade because the test are pretty difficult. She really taught be how to be a good note-taker and test-taker in general.
Great Teacher! Her test were difficult so study!! The class was worth taking with her.
Took her over the Spring term, she is very easy but you have to show up to class. It is all lecture and tests are a little difficult if you don't pay attention. She gives up to 100 extra credit points, it is difficult to fail her class. Would defiantly take her again she's funny and makes the lectures interesting. Would highly suggest taking her!!!
Absolutely my favorite professor I've had thus far. The tests are tricky and she grades really hard, but she truly cares about your success. If you have an A before the final you do not have to take it, and she dropped and replaced our lowest exam grade with our attendance grade. Attend, it will make your life so much easier. No book required!
Psychotic tests. Easy class to ace so long as you do her extra credit.
Professor Uhlir is the absolute best! Her lectures are entertaining and easy to remember. Tests were hard but the extra credit and attendance grade made it impossible to fail. Recommend her to EVERYONE
Dr. Uhlir's lectures are amazing and energetic. Her tests are tricky and she is a tough grader, but she will replace your lowest test with your attendance grade and offers up to 50 points of extra credit. If you attend class and take good notes there is no need for the book. Would definitely recommend!
Professor Uhlir has been without a doubt my favorite professor thus far. Her lectures are engaging and she's full of optimism and energy. She gives lots of extra credit assignments and focuses on the tests. Text book isn't required if you skip class, but the tests are hard. She also substitutes your attendance with your lowest test grade.
Doc Uhlir is the best professor I've ever had. You'll have all of the extra credit in the world to help make up for those poor test grades! Very interesting lectures. 10/10
She is literally the best teacher I have ever taken. I took her for federal government during the summer and all you do is take 4 tests, a final, and do extra credit; no other assignments or essays. However if you have an A after the 4th test, you don't have to take the final. She also replaces your lowest test grade with your attendance grade
Having Dr. Uhlir this summer semester has been awesome! She made Fed. Govt. interesting and easy to understand. Her choice of wording for the exams can be tricky, be sure to follow ALL instructions and read carefully! Great for all types of learners.
I love Dr. Uhlir! Her lectures are VERY interesting, she always has lots of energy and its totally infectious. Her tests are hard but as long as you do the extra credit and show up you will get an A. She says the tests are so hard to prepare you for university and grad school. She goes through how to answer them! You will not regret taking her.
If you are taking this course, I highly recommend this professor. She is great, caring, and hilarious.
Hands down the best professor I have every had. She is an amazing lecturer and super funny. Tests are tough but if you attend every class, study the material, and do all the extra credit you will do fine.
Dr. Uhlir is amazing. Her lectures are very interesting and engaging. However, the tests are very hard and entirely lecture-based. As long as you take good notes during class and study hard, the tests are doable. There are also lots of extra credit opportunities. I would definitely take this class again.
She was the most woke and chill professor Ive ever had lol. I definitely would recommend her to anyone because she really caters to all learning styles. 10 out of 10 IGN
She gave a lot of extra credit you should be able to pass with flying colors
Dr. Uhlir was the absolute best professor Ive had. But good lord, TAKE HER IN THE SUMMER. (read: extra credit!) Even though it was an easy A, I learned so much in her class. Lisa is hilarious, has great stories, and such a warm personality. Bottom line- if even 1/2 of my family had Dr. Uhlirs personality, I wouldnt have to drink at Thanksgiving.
Great teacher, I learned so much it wasn't like a typical government class. Her tests are hard but if you study you can pass them. She gives lots of extra credit opportunities so take them.
Wow! She is amazing! A great person and she opens your eyes to things youve never thought of! Attendance is taken but her asking random questions and its loads of fun! Her test are difficult but easy to pass if you learn the tricks ;)! Shes awesome and I highly recommend! Be ready to learn about government and life skills!
She is one of the best professors. She offers a lot of extra credits. Even if you get less than 50 out of 100 in every test, you can still make an A. Her tests are really heavy but her lectures are really amazing and she is wonderful. Do all the extra credits and if you show up everyday she will replace your lowest test grade with 100.
By far one of the most amazing human beings. Im so incredibly thankful I took Dr. Uhlirs class. Her test are very hard but she gives you plenty of opportunity for extra credit to make up the difference. No book required, just lectures. Replaces lowest test grade with attendance. 4 Exams, lots of extra credit, and optional final. TAKE HER CLASS!!
Literally one of the best professors I have ever had! Dr. Uhlir has a very energetic personality that always makes every class interesting and intriguing. Your lowest test score is replaced with your attendance grade and she offers a TON of extra credit opportunities with some students going from a C to an A! Would certainly take her again!
Dr. Uhlir is absolutely amazing! She has amazing lectures and teaches you topics and ideas that would be actually useful in your daily life! The class is easy to follow along with, just make sure to note her little random comments she'll say (they will come up on the test). She gives plenty of extra credit too! The tests are difficult but are fine.
Uhlir was great! She made 8:00am classes bearable. She is very energetic, and literally ran across the room, and jumped over top of the table during lecture. Take notes, do extra credit, and show up to class, you'll be exempt from the final for sure. Even though her tests are super difficult and confusing, you should be able to get an A.
Dr. Uhlir was by far the best professor I have ever had!! In the class there were 4 exams and the final was optional if you had an A at the end of the semester. Make sure to take good notes and DO THE EXTRA CREDIT!!!
She is one of the most amazing professor I ever had! She is so funny, interesting and makes lectures easy for everyone! Take her, you won't regret.
AMAZING PROFESSOR. Hilarious and informative lectures, really cares about students, cares about teaching you not only about the subject but about how to be a better student. Tests are difficult but once you learn how they work, you can get a good grade. A TON OF EASY EXTRA CREDIT. TAKE HER IF YOU CAN, because her classes fill up REAL quick.
Easy class, just pay attention and take good notes. But youll want to double check your tests; she has a tendency to mark correct answers as incorrect and in one case, directly gave the class a test answer during lecture as a reward when two students left right after attendance, but had an entirely different correct answer on the actual test.
She makes the class very enjoyable!!
Good sense of humor & gives very informative lectures. Very understanding & willing to work with her students. It is hard to take notes because she does only puts about a tenth of what she says on the board, doesn't provide a structured review, tough grader, but lots of extra credit, you get points for showing up & lots of fun. You will learn a lot
If you're looking for a easy history class, take her! She gives extra credit by asking questions about yourself every time you go, tests are online and come from lectures, literally every single question, she explains things in such a way that even a 2 year old monkey would remember. She made this one of my favorite classes although I hate history.
Dr. Uhlir is a real gem! Her lectures are amazing and stick with you forever. She's one of a kind. Pay attention, take good notes and study and you will certainly get an A.
Really good Professor i recommend every one to take her she is very nice and funny. Her test are really hard but she gives so many easy extra credit you only need to pass one exam and your extra credit will give you the A+ you need if you miss a class you can come in into another of her classes to get the info..
Test heavy professor, but the amount of chances you have to improve your grade with extra credit counts towards the class. If you do most of the extra credit, you're almost sure to pass with an A.
Dr Uhlir is an excellent presenter. She makes information that could be very dry or boring and brings it to life. She is also one of the few professors that consistently takes a genuine interest in her students in and out of class. Participate and take advantage of extra credit opportunities and the grade is no problem. Skip class, no pass!
I LOVED HER! Dr. Uhlir is an amazing professor! Always responds to emails, extra credit opportunities but you must attend class because she doesn't provide online study materials. Everything you need to know is in her lecture.
One of the best professors Ive ever taken! Her lectures are long and cover a lot of material but she keeps it super interesting so it's not too hard. As long as you work her system it's an easy A: Go to class and do extra credit for 200 points in the grade book, only 160 to go on 4 tests for an A. Dont be discouraged by 40-60 on tests that's normal
Seriously, take her! She made lectures fun to listen to. I appreciate how she knows this class is mandatory and doesn't make it overly hard for no reason. You will make an A I promise, extra credit and exam makeups are available!
Dr. Uhlir is (and I can't stress this enough) AWESOME! If she could instruct every single one of my classes until I graduate, that'd be great. You will be graded on four tests and the final that you can be exempt from. Tests are tricky but as long as you listen and take notes you'll do fine. LOTS of extra credit if you need it.
Great professor a lot of extra credit! Pay attention though tests are very long and detailed, as long as you take notes and study you will be fine!
I loved taking Prof. Uhlir. She has memorable and hilarious lectures that will make you want to come to class. She has an awesome grading system as well so this is an easy class to pass. Her tests are hard but she teaches you how to be a great test taker for future tests in and out of her class. TAKE HER YOU WONT REGRET IT.
Taking her class was so amazing, her lectures are great and always helps you to know what to write down for notes used for test. But due to COVID-19 it made the class a little bit harder but she gave a lot of extra credit so theres almost NO WAY to fail the class unless you dont do anything at all... would take again!!!
Professor Uhlir is a really funny and genuine person, but her class was extremely difficult. Her tests are insanely hard and almost no one passes them. She forces you to do extra credit in order to pass the class. The material she covers is overwhelming and non-cohesive. I got a good grade from extra credit but I didn't learn much.
Dr. Uhlir is a WONDERFUL professor! I took her 8am class and expected to be falling asleep, but that wasn't the case AT ALL. Extremely funny, interesting, and understandable teaching style! Show up to class, pay attention, take notes, and study! Her tests are hard, but she provides lots of extra credit so you can succeed. Take her, she's the best!!
If you were taking a government class and seeing this professor is teaching, you have to take her. Yes, her tests are hard, but she gives SO much extra credit you cant fail. She is funny, caring, & teaches you study skills that will benefit you throughout college. She knows not everyone loves govt, so she makes it more interesting. Take her.
There's only 4 assignments the whole class: the tests. I'm not really a fan of professors mentioning that no one passes their tests/class like it's a brag, but if you take solid notes and read each question on the tests carefully, you'll be ok. She gives out a ton of extra credit, which can give you a bonus of 100 points total. Great lectures.
She says the tests are hard, and they are difficult and long but its because its all in the details! She gives PLENTY of extra credit. Even if you fail you can pick up your grade by just doing the extra credit. Prof. Uhlir is so memorable, kind and funny! She really makes you want to learn. Lecture notes are a must in taking. You will love her!
Okay, so if you do not take this amazing womans class when you see a spot open you are not doing yourself any favors! I grabbed the last spot open just by chance, and I am so happy I did. This is the most inspirational, motivating, and educated professor I have ever had. I was excited to listen to her lectures and learned SO much! I LOVED her.
Her class online is audio recorded lectures, discussion board, & tests. Her questions on tests can be a little unclear &a little tricky even though they are all multiple choice. Her lectures are better than any other GOV class you'll take! Take good notes &pay careful attention to the ways she words things- you'll do well on tests! Xtra creditTONS
LOVE HER!! Ms. Uhlir's lectures were so much fun to listen to. Government is not my favorite subject at all, but with her own stories and unique ways of teaching- I managed to enjoy myself in this class. Just be aware that her tests can be pretty intense. She's a tough grader, so make sure to pay attention and TAKE NOTES/ record lectures!!
She was the best professor I had all year. As much as I dislike government, she made it so fun to listen to her lectures by adding her own life stories. Her lectures are pretty lengthy but she made the time go by so fast and keeps you entertained
Great and is very understanding
Uhlir is one of the coolest professors I have had ever. She gives great stories of her own life and everything made sense. You know that feeling when a teacher is amazing and you finally get the subject? You will get that will her. She does attendance every day by having you do an attendance quiz which is a little about yourself. Lots of notes.
Very entertaining during lectures and makes the class get involved. You NEED to pay attention and take good notes for the tests. I recommend studying for at least 20-30 minutes every night to keep the information fresh in your mind. If you do so, you will be successful in her class.
The best professor ever. I thought I would hate this class because it's government, but this was the only class out of the 4 I actually enjoyed going to. She's so vibrant and outgoing her only grades are 4 tests and the final. Take notes when she's speaking!!!!!!! Gives lots of extra credit. TAKE HER YOU WONT REGRET IT.
Her tests are very difficult, but if you go to class and do the extra work there is no way you fail.
Gives attendance points and LOTS of extra credit. I SUCK at taking tests and her class made me learn how to take tests better. I had enough points at the end to not take the final and pass with an A. Tells lectures like stories which was great for me, I could actually pay attention in class. Don't slack on the extra credit, do all that you can!
Amazing teacher who cares genuinely about her students. Very good overall, 100% would take for anything.
Hands down on of the best professors youll ever take. If you have a chance to take her class 1000% do it. Shes super caring. GO TO HER OFFICE HOURS. Participate in class. Her lectures are AMAZING. Your never going to be bored in her class shes super engaging. Id literally take Tex gov again just to sit through her lectures
Amazing professor. Take her class if you get the chance 100% worth it. Exams are difficult but if you show up to class and take notes or at least pay attention you'll pass. She gives tons of helpful tips for tests and for being a better student in general. 10/10 would recommend
Loved Dr. Uhlir. To pass her class, you need to pass the exams and do extra credit because there are no assignments. Her lectures are fun to listen to; you won't pass the exams if you're not paying attention. She makes attendance part of your grade so don't skip it. Her class was hard because of the exams, but if you take notes you will pass.
She is hands down one of the best professor. She really do care about students and you can tell just by looking how much extra worldly information she gives while she lectures. Her lectures are like story telling, you will love it. Tests are bit hard as you won't have any study materials except for what you note down during lecture. take her 100%
I love this professor I took GOVT-2305-20008 with her if you focus with her you will get it no book needed she tell really good story to explain the topic, only this is she only grade 5 tests so you need to have a good great on it to pass the class a lot of extra points really easy to get it do it will take GOVT-2306 with her again! ;)
Absolutely adored her class! If you don't work well without visual aides, this class isn't for you though. There's four tests + the final that she doesn't want you to take. It's super easy to make an A in the class. Test corrections on one, one take home, and one gets replaced with your attendance grade. Offers up to 50 pts of fun extra credit, too
Don't get me wrong I think she is an amazing prof. Unfortunately I rely on group work and this was everything but that. Zero collaboration and only lecturing. So for someone on the autism spectrum like me this class was an extreme struggle. She was so nice and considerate and if you do the extra credit you will not pass. :)
I loved having Dr. Uhlir this semester! There are 4 tests total and are the only grades that she takes and is very particular that you read the instructions given. There are plenty of opportunities to earn an easy A in this class, in which you don't have to take the final! She also gives plenty of extra credit, so do it!
Mrs Uhlir was amazing. You NEED to take notes during class, it helps so much on her tests. She is super helpful with making sure you know how to study and gives out tons of extra credit. I had a 115 in her class after the first test. Only 4 tests, you don't have to take the final if you have an A after the 4th test.
I LOVED UHLIR, I think she is so real and relatable when she teaches her lectures. She uses relatable examples in her life to the philosophy ideas she shares. 4 main exams!! I exempted the last two by having good extra credit. DO HER EXTRA CREDIT OMG YOU WILL LITERALLY PASS WITH AN EASY B OR A! I'm definitely taking her for my Texas govt. class
Dr. Uhlir is amazing! She is a great speaker and educator. This class was so interesting I did not know what to expect but I was so lucky to have her as my professor. I would take any class she teaches. Show up, take notes and you can pass this class without having to take a final!
Amazing teacher! Took for both my government classes. No homework, only extra credit if you want it (DO IT) and 4 exams plus a final if you dont have an A in the class.
This class was very lecture-heavy. She gave lots of extra credit which saved me. COME TO CLASS. your attendance grade replaces your lowest test grade. I had a lot of courses the semester I took this class and she was very understanding. I am a visual learner and this class was hard for me because there's no PowerPoints just audios and lectures.
Would recommend for people who learn on just lectures. Doesn't use the text book but each class is just lecture, no power point or anything else to follow. Very much enjoyed her class but tests are hard. DO THE EXTRA CREDIT THAT IS OFFERED. Will help you in the end! was a hybrid class so we only met once a week and other lecture was online.
Dr. Uhlir is the very best thing that happened to me at college. SHE IS THE BEST TEACHER YOU WILL EVER HAVE. She is unbelievably gifted at teaching, and cares for her students. She wants her students to do well, and she goes above and beyond to help. Please take her. You will love her. She is hilarious, smart, engaging, and makes you think!!
Is a definite if you skip class, you won't pass. But gives you everything needed to do well on exams; lowest exam grade gets replaced by attendance grade. Take good notes and DO THE EXTRA CREDIT (can't stress that one enough) she gives you all semester to do it, you'll be fine. Added bonus if you have an A in the class, exempt from the final
She is a very good teacher, I totally recommend her class! She gives out a lot of different activities for extra credit. Make sure you know how to take notes without using a power point reference since when she gives lesson is her just talking and using the board, no power points (but is not boring like other professors I promise).
Professor Uhlir is an amazing lecturer. She definitely has a way of making you think outside the box as far as just the philosophy of government goes and how it's all connected in what we see reflected in the constitution today. She also tells lectures through the lens of her life experiences which is refreshing because straight textbook = boring
I have mixed felling about Dr. Uhlir. What I liked about her was her level of education, PhD in Government or Theory, something in that, and a Masters in Economics. Plus she knows a lot about government law. What I didn't like about was that her lectures were very wordy and on top of that she tells stories of her personal life.
Best professor ever! She gives very engaging and thorough lectures that you learn so much from. She wants you to succeed and wants you to vote! Texas is a very unique state and she really drives that home!
Dr. Uhlir has a unique way of teaching. Her lectures are purely auditory, so either audio record the lectures or write/type notes fast! She tells the most amazing stories and relates them to the lecture topics. Try your best on the exams, DO NOT MISS CLASS, and keep up with your extra credit! Do not worry about your final grade - it all works out!
I've now gotten to take her for both Governments, however she won't be teaching Texas next semester; but if you're looking for a Fed Gov't professor I recommend her. Attendance replaces lowest test. Get to make corrections to Test 1. 50 pts available in EC. Have an A; exempt from final.
Okay, I really don't understand everyone's fascination with this Professor. I didn't learn anything from this class. She talks about her personal life way too much and goes so off-topic. Her exams are SO difficult, but maybe it wouldn't have been if she actually lectured about the topics on the exam. I would never recommend that someone take her.
I recommend this teacher, she's amazing at what she teaches and brings up her personal life a lot. I don't think it matters, most of it she try's to relate to a topic we're learning and sometimes it gives me a break for my brain to drift.
Great teacher! I took her July class. It was very fast-paced/intense, but her lecture style made it enjoyable. She tells a LOT of stories, but they can really help drive her points home. Attendance is crucial. No homework, just exams. Exams are VERY scary, but trust the process. It works out. She offers plenty of extra credit which helps a lot :)
Dr. Uhlir makes your effort worthwhile. I took her federal section in 5 weeks and her syllabus scared me to death, but if you GO TO EVERY CLASS and work hard and DO THE EXTRA CREDIT the hard tests she hands out will matter much less than they seem on syllabus day. Although the tests were hard, I was able to get an A on her first exam so just study
She expresses excessive emotion in her lectures, which I found to be distracting. Compared to the in- person lectures, I learned the material better by listening to her recorded lectures that she sent us and taking notes on them. I utilized the plentiful amount of extra credit opportunities and the attendance grade which replaces lowest exam grade.
Dr. Uhlir's class was engaging, though her lectures could veer off-topic at times. Attendance is crucial, as she offers extra credit opportunities and your attendance grade can replace your lowest exam score. I found unstuckstudy ai helpful for exam prep alongside the lectures.
I genuinely do not have enough great things to say about this professor. She was very funny, kind, accessible, & interactive! Next to no homework in her class though the tests are long, but as long as you dedicate time to studying and paying attention during her lectures, the tests are a walk in the park. A lot of opportunities for extra credit!
I appreciate Dr.Uhlir's knowledge and such a rich story telling. Every lecture was history mixed in with a little bit of current world examples and this really made it easy to grasp. She's a cool lady too and her world view is fascinating and I enjoyed that she would bring that into lectures as well. Test are tough so show up and take notes.
Dr. Uhlir is an amazing professor, shes really knowledgeable and relatable. All the lectures in class are engaging and actually very interesting. You're also not graded by alot (4 test and small assignments.) Even with this in mind she gives alot of extra credit which can move you a letter grade up. She even allows makeups on some exams. (go to SI)
This class is a neurodivergent person's worst nightmare. Be afraid.
This class is like having 3 classes altogether, you need a lot of time to read and prepare for exams. Not great if you have other classes.
So engaging and wildly intelligent. As someone who's always struggled with lecture heavy classes, she made it really easy for me to follow and take notes. If you don't show up or take notes, you will not do well, but if you do show up and pay attention, it's really easy to get an A. (Also her lore drops are insane)
She might be a great person but her class sucks. Her tests are lengthy.. there's no way you're finishing that in class and she's a bad grader. She cut off 10 points off my first test because I put my name in wrong order??. I didn't pay for this class to hear her personal stories for half of the class. Don't do it, you will suffer
She is AMAZING, if there is anything it don't like, its a boring professor. She is a great speaker, her stories are fun and engaging, she presents her material perfectly and she has SO much easy extra credit. Amazing professor, hope I can take her again
Dr. Ulhir, was is an amazing teacher. I 1000% recommend taking her. One of the few teachers that made this school tolerable.o
I had mixed feeling about her. What did like about her is that she was vary educated she was. But what I didn't like is that her lectures were vary wordy and on top of that all of her stories from her personal life. She would always bring up how she was married 3x and would bring up one of her ex-husbands.
More than a good professor, but a great person! Not only was the class incredibly engaging, I laughed. I have terrible ADHD, but I was engaged the whole class. She does use lots of personal stories in her lectures, but they are wonderful anecdotes that really helped me remember for tests. The tests are incredibly long, but she was so accommodating!
Class everyday will be lectures, but her lectures are engaging. She ties in life stories to help people better understand the material.
