Professor Ulbig is great! I started this class absolutley hating statistics, but she changed my viewpoint on it completely. She's very willing to help you if you need it. She even come to class early to help anyone who needs it. She gives you a lot of problem sets to do, but she explains everything on them!! DEFINITELY MUST TAKE!

Attendance was not mandatory and Friday classes were optional. Each week there was an online quiz that was less than 10 questions and the rest of the grades were tests. The tests line up with the lectures so make sure to go to those. She replies to emails pretty fast and is willing to help.

She has heuristic frames that are far from reality and against Christian religious views. I think she looks at the data, which grounds her but am not sure if she has maintained her views. Its been years since I took her.

Professor Ulbig is literally so good. She lectures well and most of the time it's very apparent what needs to be written down for notes. Tests are fairly easy if you do the review she drops lowest test grade. She gives very good clear note outlines that helps THE MOST. But don't think you don't need to take notes outside of the guided ones, you do.

Makes lectures intersting by including brain breaks from the PP. Online activities every friday in place of optional class time. Lowest exam score is dropped, all PP are posted, Bonus activites before every test for extra credit. 4 exams with optional final. All exams are easy as long as you study. Ulbig is open to all questions and passionate.

love her so much, she was my favorite for american government because she made it interesting. I'm normally really bad at all things government but she explains it in such simple terms. As long as you follow the lecture outline in class you'll do just fine on the tests and online activities.

Professor Ulbig is one of the best teachers Ive ever had. I took her for TX and American gov because she's amazing. She gives you outlines for lectures, and exam reviews are almost exactly the test. She gives at least 5 bonus points for every test. Attendence isn't mandatoy but I strongly recommend going. If you miss she has the powerpoints online.

Honestly the only reason for my grade is because I didn't go to class or put in the effort. But she truly is an amazing professor if you pay attention to the lectures you'll 100% know the test answers!

Fantastic teacher! Replys to emails promptly, fast grading turnaround, provides feedback on assignments. Fantastic video lectures I would not have passed without along with pages from textbook attached for extra information. Lots of work and a tough subject, but she provides all the tools, resources and aid needed to learn the material!

Ulbig is a good professor, especially if you prefer taking notes on a laptop. If not, you will need to print a lot to handwrite the worksheets provided. There is weekly homework but it replaces class on Friday and doesn't take too long. Her lectures are engaging and you can tell she is passionate about what she teaches. PAY ATTENTION during lecture

Dr. Ulbig is a great professor. Its important you pay attention during lectures, which is not too difficult to do because of how entertaining she is. You can tell that she is passionate about what she is taking, which made me more willing to learn. I have no complaints for her course. The course load was perfect, and she cares about her students.

Highly recommend this professor! Attendance isn't mandatory, but showing up helps you understand the material & pass. Lectures are interesting & the class is chill. Provides helpful note outlines. Friday classes were optional just required an easy online video activity. Offers chances for bonus points. Show up, pay attention, and you'll do well.

I LOVED Dr. Ulbig! I am not a huge history fan, but it was super easy to engage in the course. She is always clear and concise and is always trying to help you out. Attendance isn't mandatory but it will definitely help with your exam grade as she gives more information than shown on the slides sometimes. Overall, highly highly highly recommend!

Dr. Ulbig knows what she is talking about and explains in-depth. She gives you a pdf of the textbook. The extra credit is easy and helps you with the exam. Definitely go to the lectures they help a lot. If you go to Friday classes she pretty much gives you the answers to the online activity. The grading can be a little confusing but she helps you.

Ulbig's class is simple as long as you do the work and come to class. She doesnt play around with BS excuses and tends to be more understanding if she knows you attend class regularly and actually pay attention during her lectures. She's pretty cool and I know she's not everyone's cup of tea but I felt like she was a great professor.

If you don't go to class, you probably won't pass. She posts notes online, but they are basic, so go to class to understand the concepts. She has one weekly assignment, extra credit every test, and the last exam is a final, but it's optional. Very passionate about class and easy to follow. Also, don't leave mid class, she will call you out.

POLS 4372: Worst professor I have taken hands down, which sucks because this class is very interesting. Kept shaming the class and calling students names. Yes, she is passionate, but about the wrong things. She takes away from lecture time by complaining about students coming late/not doing as well in her other classes. Also, she grades attendance.
