Reviews of professor Matthew Ulricksen

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Outstanding professor - knows what he teaches and does everything in his power to make the material understandable. This is not an easy class, but a class and professor worth taking.

One of the best professors I've ever had. Very challenging class but super interesting to listen to and converse with. Plays devils advocate and tries to make you think outside of the box. This is my second time taking him for a politics class and I love it. Super understanding and is willing to work with you. Overall great guy, as well.

If you tend to slack off in your courses Professor Ulricksen probably is not for you. In class he only writes key topic names on the board and you need to be able to follow along with his verbal lectures to write your notes. He gives a syllabus with exactly what is expected for each section. If you do the work he gives you will pass no problem.

I took prof. ulricksens POLS 1010 distance learning class. Overall it wasnt a bad choice, although I found it to be quite challenging. The online textbook didnt really line up with the forum/essay assignments. So a lot of research studying was involved. Which isnt ideal for a course that should have all the material.

Talks for the whole period, doesnt give good feedback. He is known for giving study guides with 60+ words, with only 5 appearing on the tests! Do not take this professor!

This is not an easy A, but overall worth it. He is very smart and thorough. I finish his class work in less than an hour for the week, but the work is packed with difficult information and I often have to take quizzes multiple times to pass. If you don't have the best reading comprehension, he might not be the best choice for you.

Professor Ulricksen places a lot of emphasis on the lectures and reading material. His exam questions come from both sources, so be sure to do the assigned reading. He is very accessible outside of class and helps his students succeed. He wants his students to understand the material and think critically about the presented information.

Hes likeable ish. Class hard, took as requirement- not my fav, but the teacher made it ok. Tough grader, lots of work/exams. But if you study its fine. sense of humor. 3 exams&final. And weekly quizzes/readings, about 3 essays. STUDY. tough grader, only did good on one exam. Do not take if have other options. always let out LATE. inappropriate too
