She's very helpful, and explains everything with examples, which is a good way to help students understand the text. However, her tests aren't so easy!
No Comments
she is not a bad teacher the only problem is that her midterms and exams are very hard. Most of the stuff that is in the exmas are not from the notes.Plus she does not allow open book test as compare to the other teacher. Worst teacher ever does not know how to teach. :(
I dont usually leave comments, but she really was a good teacher. I harsh failed her class but if you pay attention and ask questions she definately helps. Her class and her tests are hard as hell. Recommended for people that REALLY want to learn.
She is a good teacher. The course is very hard, but she does her best to make it clear. Very helpfull and nice.

i like the overheads/notes for the day since you can just print it off the web..she's pretty easy to talk to..finals exams are hard..but overall i'd say she's good.
Great notes. I like how she posts them online for you to print. The exams are tough. Spend some time outside of class working on it and you can do well. Overall nice teacher, but tough.
she is a hard teacher and test are not realted to assignments.hard marker
Nice person but her exams are hard and more complex then what she teaches you in class.
Greatest teacher you can ever ever have. I attend every class and got an A+ (97%) overall. If you attend class and copy notes, ALL of her exam questions are STRAIGHTLY from her class notes! If you understand class material, you don't even need to open text book to get A+.
sucks..i hate her test although the book was hard enough so were her exams..her exams were not at all like notes..plus there are many teachers who allow open notes for exams so why would anyone take her
awesome teacher. posts up her overheads so you can work through them, because she goes over them the next day. really easy, just pay attention in class and take notes, and you'll do awesome.
Good teacher, very approachable. Gave useful review materials before exams and tries to make class material interesting (which is not an easy feat, since it's math!). Sometimes makes mistakes calculating problems on overheads which can be confusing, but she usually corrects herself promptly. Overall, I would take another class with her!
Definately take her. She is a great teacher. She is approachable and goes out of her way to help students. She gives us outlines of her overheads so we don't have to write as much. She tries to make the class interesting and gives us activities to help us relate stats to the real world. Test questions are similar to the lectures.
She is a great teacher! She cares about her students and does whatever she can to help them. She is always available and very organized. Her candy quizes rock! If you are taking stats or buisness math take her for sure!
Best teacher Ive ever had by far. She extremely clear. She posts her notes before the class and gives good examples. Other classes use excel, so it depends on what you prefer, her class you do it all by hand. she allows for a cheat sheet on the final which is really helpful. I hate stats but she made an extremely boring subject somewhat bearabl
One of the best teacher i've ever had in Kwatlen, very nice, study the online notes amd practice exams and u'll do fine!
She is an amazing teacher. She is very helpful and provides a lot of material to practice before exams. Just review it and you'll do fine. She posts a lot of course material on the course website, which is very useful.
best teacher for this class if you wanna pass take her
She is very approachable friendly and really nice prof. I would gladly take a course with her again. Her notes are really helpful and the exams are on the most part fair and if you do your part, easy. Highly recommended. One of the few hot profs out there too
The above comments could not have been left by REAL students. Everyone in my class hates her! She's one of the WORST teachers I ahve ever seen, she likes to confuse u and makes you feel like an idiot when you ask questions and she says "You tell me the answer". DO NOT TAKE IT WITH HER, you will not do well. She is a total ****! Just ask others...
She is definitely a friendly and nice teacher. She is always there to help, and her notes are really helpful. Her exam is fair, and she has a lot of prepared things for you to do before the exam, and it HElPS!`~~
She is very clear and helpful and the tests are easy if you study your overhead notes and do some practice questions. Everything on the tests are right from the notes pretty much and for the final you get one page front and back to write whatever you want on it. You will be lost if you dont go to every class though.
Very friendly to her students.. Notes and hws r very useful for her tests.. even if u study the notes and hws only.. u will still get a good grade for ur tests.. I didn't buy the text.. and I still got an A+..
Her teaching style really not help in learning. Most students having difficulites understanding on what she taught.
Nice clear instructions. You have to be willing to practise the concepts. Once you know the basics, the rest just falls into place. Willing to help with questions and responds through email super fast.
She is an awsome instructor. Her exams are based on her note. Study her notes and you'll be fine
Eureka is nice and affable young lady we have in Business Math. If she teaches Stats in other semester, I will take her.
Even though I failed the first time taking stats with her, It was completely my fault. I never came to class etc.. the second time around I did very well, thanks to her! She is very energetic, happy to help and always available for her students.. I wish she taught more than stats and busi math!
She is a horrible teacher!!
I do not recommend her if Stats is not your cup of tea. She is an example-based teacher, but unfortunately at times that means she doesn't explain the concept/material before giving the example. Nice lady though.
Urieke is a fantastic instructor. She is possibly the nicest person I have ever met. She is VERY helpful and was always available to answer questions. The tests are right out of her notes and she explains things well. She makes the class fun. I highly recommend this instructor!
She s just a lovely teacher..She is master of her subject.. she always comes prepared to class and just make the tough things so simple.i never actually studied at home.. class s such a fun. The BEST TEACHER I have ever had in my life.
An amazing teacher! Extremely helpful. I did well in her class and generally I suck at anything math related. I highly recommend her, one of the best profs I have had at Kwantlen!
She is a great teacher. I had her for business math and got an A+ so I decided to take her for stats. I'm so glad did! She makes stats easy to understand.
She is nice to talk with students, but she is MEAN on the EXAM. Please, Eureka, don't be mean when making a sheet. Be generous!!!
Ulrieke is one of greatest profs at kwantlen, i was taking stats the second time, and Ulrieke helped out alot, just attend classes and review her notes and u can easily get an B, her exams are straight from her hwk assignments,which are really really easy if u follow up with ur hwk
She is a great prof who enjoys statistics. Questions on midterm and final are clear. Basically if you attend class, do the assignments, you have no reason not to do well in her class.
Stats is NOT an easy course. I just quit on it since I was so busy with other courses and if you're taking it...do NOT take a 3 hour class once a week cuz its SO boring you'll fall asleep and you won't do well. Ulrieke is an AWESOME teacher but its the course that sucks!
Thinks she would be your friend and help you out. Once you attend class and get into it her teaching is terrible. Does not explain anything, just sits there and goes through her notes which are not helpful. Doesnt use the text book but then tests from it. Class was extremely boring. Tests are different than what you learn. CAUTION thats all.
If you want to get a good mark in Stats, and enjoy the course too, then Ulrieke should be your prof. Just make sure you attend class and do the work. That's all.
Ulrieke is one of the best propessors at kwantlen, she is really helpful and explains the material realy well, i was taking stats the second time, Ulrieke made the class soo exciting and her marking is fair, if you want to pass stats with good mark i would recommend that you take it with Ulrieke
I made sure I took stats with her after taking Business Math. She is excellent and will give you all the help you need...IF you ask.
If you have trouble with math concepts (in general), definitely try to get Ulrieke as a teacher. She is very clear, concise, and has a warm, respective attitude towards her students.
Amazing prof!! Taken her twice now for business math & stats! Wish she taught more courses!!
Nice lady but more then half of the class failed the class that's when you know somethings wrong with the prof.More then half of the class failing is not normal.
Birner's awesome!!! definetly recommend her! her notes are easy to understand and her examples are helpful and she's always willing to help you! we got weekly assignments that were really easy, only 2 or 3 questions and the exams were pretty easy as well!!
She's excellent
She is a great teacher. I took the online course and the notes could not be more clear. Very easy to follow and understand. Definitely recommend.
Took the online course and would highly recommend if you are considering. I rarely opened the textbook as her notes are concise and complete. I actually found the textbook harder to follow than her notes. She is very helpful and answers her email very quickly. Positive Experience
Highly recommend! She is so nice and helpful. awesome teacher!
Ulrieke is a fantastic teacher. Her notes are awesome and you barely use the textbook. She is very good at explaining complicated topics. This is my second time taking Stats and it was really night and day the second time around. WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND. She is the best. Just attend class, study your notes and do the homework and you'll be golden!
Ulrieke is an amazing teacher. She is extremely friendly and helpful. She won't leave anyone behind in class and wont move on until what she is teaching is clearly understood. Ulrieke supplies students with well written on topic notes that has helped me so much in my course. The only tough part of her course is the multiple choice on exams.
AWESOME PROF!!!!! TAKE HER IF YOU CAN! She is truly the best prof I've had so far. Her notes are very clear, don't bother buying the textbook, it's useless. Ulrieke is very very helpful and explains the notes extremely clearly. SHE'S THE BEST!!
She is a great Stats teacher!
Fantastic teacher. One of the best. Do the assignments and reading and you should be successful.
Seemed disinterested when answering student e mails. Rushes through lectures and skips steps in the math.
Doesn't explain the math so you have to go and learn yourself. Rushes through slides and not very interesting class.
Great Prof! i have nothing bad to say about her (except maybe to proof read her notes a bit.)Her response to emails are always quick and helpful. I would recomend this class to anyone.
Her notes are really clear and since it was an online course, you need to be constantly practicing because the terminology and the calculator use it's confusing but she is always willing to help you. I highly recommend you to take her class :)
She's very nice and approachable. If you attend every class and practise your homework it's very easy to succeed. I've heard she's one of the best stats teachers, has a background in psychology so understands how to teach something difficult. I would only suggest she proof read some of her notes (not a big deal).
Hands down the BEST teacher. I suck at math & all I did was show up to class & pay attention. Her notes are crystal clear so dont bother buying the textbook. But you will need it for hw, either go to the library & do it there or share a book with a few ppl in class. Her finals are super easy, just study off her notes and you will ace the exams.
She already has the course content organized for you in the class notes. Just practice the notes and you'll be fine. It's a shame she doesn't teach more courses. Her stats course isn't difficult. Again, just practice the notes.
Great prof. I would highly recommend. Very helpful with clear notes. Tries to make the class as interesting as possible. Prepares you well for the exams.
I go from Richmond to Langley just for her class . I swear by my 2 and half hour commute she is worth it
She's the best! It's that simple. Do yourself right and enrol in her courses if you can. Other instructors ought to mimic her methods. Business Stats is a tough class but her course structure helps to understand. A lot of practice required but it's just practicing the class notes. I wish she taught more courses.
Amazing instructor. I would love to take her again. I took her online classes for buqu 1130 & 1230. She's the best, easy A's. Take her, you will learn a lot, and she's always there to help. She gave me an extra practice book to study for the final for stats. Take my word, and you won't regret it.
Honestly the best proff I have ever had. Her exams are very fair and she goes over the course material and simplifies it in a very logical manner. All you need to do is study the notes and you will do fine.
one of the best profs I've had. Stats isn't the easiest subject but she is always willing to clarify the material and she knows her stuff. Her exams also doesn't come with any surprises which is always a plus.
She is awesome!!!! I took her online class and can tell you that she is one of the best professors i've had. Her notes are really easy to understand and she is one of the most helpful instructors. Great teacher and makes the concepts easy to understand. Just read her notes and practice questions to get an A. HIghly highly recommend her.
I was skeptical about taking an online statistics course at first, but I gave it a shot. Ms. Birner is 100% the best teacher I have EVER had. Her word document notes are clear, she responds within an hour, and you know EXACTLY what to expect on tests. I wish she taught every class at Kwantlen. Take. A. Class. With. Her. You won't regret it.
Her class notes are very detailed and are clearly laid out, but the formatting is messy. The textbook is only necessary to do homework assignments. Tests have questions very similar to homework assignments with no surprises.
Ulrieke is an amazing professor. She is so kind and patient. I have messaged her at on many weekends when I'm stuck on a question and she will promptly get back usually within a few hours. Her course material for student is very organized and easy to follow (especially for partially online). I think she may be one of my favourite professors ever!
Absolutely amazing professor! She is incredibly helpful, gives almost instant feedback to midterms, finals, email, and homework (had midterm marked and given back within 24 hours and usually responds within an hour or two to emails). I've had her 3x and she's been amazing every time!
Amazing Prof! Her notes are clearly laid out and shes always willing to give extra help, she lets u take a cheat sheet into midterms which is a plus!!
One of the best profs at KPU. I took her online class. Everything was clearly laid out. Homework is marked for completion only. She always responds within a few hours even on weekends, and will help you if you need it. Tests are very straightforward and she posts practice tests with answers, which are very similar to the midterms. Take her!
Professor Birner is an amazing prof. Her Midterms and Final are exactly like the examples gone over in class and the questions assigned for homework. If you show up to class and do your homework it's almost impossible to get anything lower than a "B."
Ulrieke is the best & not to mention the most caring professor I have come across. Her notes are easy to understand, the only time youll need the textbook is for the assignment questions. Ulrieke answers emails quickly and is so kind I look forward to her emails. Rare for a uni professor. Take her!
best prof ever!
Her notes are kind of a mess, and her reflection lounge questions are worded poorly. Get ready to teach yourself.
Best teacher I've had at KPU. Wish all teachers could be like Ulrike Birner!! She writes her own lecture notes so you don't need the text (and she gives info for old version of text if you decide you want the text). Her notes are funny and interesting which I never expected from a stats class. She's by far the most kind and caring prof I've had
Amazing prof. Very clear grading criteria. Give you practice exams for every exam.
Ulrieke is a great prof. Her way of teaching makes the material so much easier. You get to use a cheatsheet for midterm/exam. Assignments/Reflection L are easy marks weigh 15% & midterms are 15% to so its easy to bring up mark if u didn't do well on midterm. Assignments are taken as participation marks. Replies to emails quick. Easy midterms EASY A
Great prof! strongly recommend her for any BUQU course. She is extremely helpful and understanding, and her notes are very clear. I took this course half online and she made it easy! I am already taking her for Stats and I am so glad i can!
Best prof you can have!!! Show up to class or do the online work if its the online class and you will get a good mark if you give it your best. Her notes are very easy to follow through and she's always available for help when needed.
Fantastic prof! One of the best at KPU. Highly recommend her. Gives practice exams that are very similar to the actual exams.
Ulrieke has the amazing ability to give you back graded exams and assignments in 24 hours or less. I took her stats class online and she provides all you will need to get an A. I didn't look at the textbook and was able to walk away with a better understanding of statistics. Take her online class! You won't regret it.
She's the best professor ever. I took an online class but she is honestky the best professor for business stats. I am taking her class currentlym can't even tell you how easy the exams r. I finished mined in 20 minutes like it's too simple. Many ppl in the class got 100%.
Best professor at KPU! Take every class that you can with her, definitely sign up for her fully/partially online courses.
She made taking stats online very bearable and easy. She has amazing notes, and gives you assignments (completion only) and online discussion ques (easy) to boost your mark. Practise her lecture notes and sample exams, and you can get an easy A in this class. Best prof for stats!!!
Best prof to take for Business Stats. She provides all the notes needed for each chapter and gives many examples so that you can practice as well as the previous semesters midterms to practice with as well. There are 6 assignments, 2 midterms and a final. She allows cheat sheets for all 3! Class is easy if you study the material. Super nice prof
One of my favourite professors from my undergrad so far. Caring professor who is chill and very approachable. You would be making a mistake not taking her for the class you are considering, cant recommend her more. My class was online but the documents you read for learning are great and very easy to understand. I wish she taught all of my classes
Her course notes are very well written and easy to understand. Assignments are graded on completion and not on accuracy so easy 100% with those if you complete and submit them before due date. She explains what is going to be on tests/exams really well.
She is a great professor. She has really great specific and interactive slides. She is very easy to communicate with and is very straight forward with what she expects out of you. I really liked her for BUQU1130 and am taking her again for buqu1230. I would highly recommend her especially if math isn't your thing.
Take her, she's amazing and so friendly. Answers all of your questions, very approachable. Amazing class, amazing prof!
This is my hands-down favourite instructor at KPU. I'm terrible at math, and never passed with higher than 49%. I've taken Ulrieke for business math, as well as business stats and gotten 70% in both. She gives you so many chances to earn bonus marks, so even if you don't do well on the exams, you still have a chance of passing. Highly recommend.
one of the best teachers at KPU and my favourite. she is simply amazing, always ready to help you. respond to the emails quickly. she Make her own slides that are so interesting to read . Give bonus marks and gave all instructions very clearly. If u want to learn something with good grades , just take her . HUGE RESPECT
As someone who was nervous to take business stats Ulrieke was the best teacher I could have picked. Took the class online and her lecture notes are so well worded and made. Theres assignments every week but they helped me to learn the material. Every-time I had a question and emailed her she replied back to me straight away even on weekends.
