Comment:
He's an effite, elitist snob. He spent fifteen minutes in one class complaining how narrow the media paradigm is. Then he spent the next ten minutes calling the class ignorant because (in his mind) we don't read the elitist narrowly tailored newspapers of record. Annoying, arrogant, talks over your head. Thank God he's retiring!

He's pretty good, except he hasn't been there in two weeks--he's in NH leaf-pepping or something. Shame it's his last semester. I would've loved to get him before he checked out.

Ridiculous utterly ridiculous this semester. Obviously it's time to retire. His tests are trivial and impossible. Even though I read the book thoroughly I can't manage to do well on his tests. Worst professor thus far.

He's great--rambling at times, and loves to rib on people. It's terrible he's retiring. A building should be named in his honor!

He's funny and very witty. The "debates" are very annoying, essentially data dumping, and there is a high tolerance for confusion. He's half-checked out b/c it's his last semester. But he's still a very good prof.

GREATEST PROFESSOR EVER!! Knew what he was talking about and actually made Canada seem somewhat interesting. The lecture on the Canadian Constitution was awful but he told us it would be. He's willing to "negotiate" the format or tests and quizzes. DO THE READING and you'll be fine. I highly recommend him

He is fantastic. I found the class material extremely boring, but he made the class interesting and he has a sense of humor. He took the class outside on nice days and even let us take a nap in class. There isn't much work, but the tests and quizzes are hard. I would definitely recommend him.

An overall great guy. Classes are held outside in good weather, has students play musical instruments, gives us "stretching" or "sleeping" breaks in between notes. Gives the option of questions instead of lecture. Let's TA give you notes from lecture. He is fair and really just wants you to do well. Take him, but do the reading and assignments.

He is amazing! He is just as good looking as Dr. Boaz. He is smart and he brings humor to the class. You will have to do some work, but he is beyond willing to compromise so that students can do well.

For a man approaching his 90s, Dr. Ullman bears a striking resemblance to Ben Affleck.

Fairly challenging class, but he is fair and if you do your reading you should be fine. He is a great guy and very freindly, very funny. I learned more in one semester with him than i did in all of high school!

Interesting class-make sure you do the reading and take notes in class. Reading quizzes can be difficult but only if you dont study. Exams are fairly easy if you take good notes-and do that because you can bring them with you. The best teacher i have had in high school or college. He's hilarious and personable
