Comment:

He is a major help. Not only does he give you the drawings (part of your homework), but he only checks for completion, so as long as you do it, you get full points. Quizzes are sometimes tough but he does a group quiz at least once. Practicals are kind of challenging so you definitely need to study hard for those.

He's awesome. You definitely will have to study for quizzes and exams thoroughly, but you're going to learn so much, and an A is perfectly doable. He's a really nice guy, especially once you get to know him. Very understanding. He makes lame jokes, but they do get a laugh. :)

Comment:

I love Ulbrich. Takes quiz and test questions straight from the notes he gives you, so make sure you take his notes down word for word. Other than that he is super helpful with explaining everything, so don't be afraid to ask. A very approachable and jolly character, he likes to joke around a lot. Highly recommend him.

MR. ULBRICH IS AMAZING! TIPS to pull an A: Read the labs thoroughly, take good notes in class,record lectures if possible, make study groups cuz they help a lot. There are 3 exams and 6 quizes. For the exams, pretty much memorize and understand his notes in and out. Do this and getting an A will be a challenge but totally possible!

Very helpful and sweet man. Labs is hard and long as usual, so effort is very much required!Quizzes every week mainly on HIS notes, but read the lab before class. Take notes on what he says, also ask if you can take pictures of his diagrams.Tests are quite difficult just review his notes, quizzes, and make sure you know the info not just memorize.

Amazing professor! Honestly, this man has kindled a passion for biology within my soul. His lectures are so seamless that lab time seems to fly right by. He's an extremely nice man, and his exams, though challenging, are extremely fair and reasonable. Without a doubt, when picking a professor choose him.

Comment:

Professor Ulbrich is a really good teacher. Bio lab in and of itself is a difficult course- lots of memorization and outside work, but Professor Ulbrich wants you to succeed. Make sure to take good notes in class, read the bold terms in the lab manual, and study the slides that are online. I'd recommend him for bio 111!

Dr. Ulbrich IS AMAZING!!! BEST BIO LAB PROFESSOR OUT THERE! He lets you do group and take home quizes (which no one lets you do) and IS AN AMAZING ARTIST! Very funny, brings donuts to class, very helpful and clear. Only con, is that the lab practicals can be difficult, but that's because the material is difficult. TAKE HIM IF YOU HAVE THE CHANCE!!!

Comment:

Dr. Ulbrich is the best lab teacher you could have! The class is tough but he is hilarious and makes it as fun as possible! He gives completion points on labs, group/take home quizzes, and curves at the end if you tried. Copy down the notes he writes and study them and you will do well! You do stay the full time every class, but its worth it.

Comment:

Bio lab is hard on its own, but Ulbrich makes it easy to understand and fun. Throws in lots of anecdotes. Homework out of the lab book is due by next class usually. 3 practical exams (non-cumul final), multiple quizzes. He brings candy or donuts for the exams!

He is awesome! Be sure to read the bold terms in the bio lab book and remember the random terms he puts on the board that are not in the book. Take home quizzes and group quizzes...!

Comment:

Ulbrich is the best bio lab professor at Loyola. everything is easy and understandable except the practicals, which require extensive amounts of studying...but thats for any bio lab class. dont look at anyone else, Ulbrich is the best. plus his way of interactive teaching really embeds the concepts learned in this class.

Comment:

He uses all of the time and he will trick you on the exams. However, he allows group quizzes, open book quizzes, and take home quizzes. He really knows his stuff and expects the same from his students. Unlike most of the lab professors he actually teaches which is very helpful. I feel like I actually learned from him Bring colored pencils to class!

I have heard from the others that Ulbrich is the easiest bio lab teacher you can get. From my personal experience, his class was not that easy but he is extremely fair, kind, and helpful. I was able to get a B+ without putting in too much effort.

He is a GREAT professor. I would take him if you can. He isn't the easiest, but compared to all the other bio lab profs he is great. Take good notes and listen and you should be fine. but a great teacher and very funny. TAKE HIM

Yea, this professor apparently loves his job. he is a great teacher. He literally prepares you for exams step-by-step. It is very possible to get an A in his class. I missed to labs and I still managed an A-.

Comment:

Ulbrich is a great professor. He is very knowledgeable and clear about subject matter, and draws everything himself (and explains while he does it). He uses all the class time, but teaches everything (unlike some other professors). His tests are fairly difficult, and require that you study moderately. I would take him every year if I could.
