Ubl is one of the most condescending people I've ever met; she has a universal rule where every paper you turn in is given a 50 and is to then be rewritten for a full grade. This is pretty much the routine, irregardless of how well written it was the first time, and it's pretty much self-service for her already overinflated ego. Take someone else.

Wouldn't take again

The issue with Ubl is that she's got some sort of formulaic response to grading papers where she'll automatically give you a poor grade on the first one and then a passing grade on the second one you turn in, without actually grading it. I know this because I turned in a paper, got a D, resubmitted the SAME paper (with no editions) and got an A.

Mrs Ubl is too sweet and she will do anything to make sure everyone in her class passes. she has been teaching for 25 years and SHE WILL GIVE YOU HER CELL PHONE NUMBER AND TEXT YOU BACK RIGHT AWAY! Even years after you have taken her class, she offers this to everyone she teaches so she can help if they are stuck on a paper. She's the best
