Very knowledgeable in her field. Classes generally were a bit of lecture followed by a movie clip. Lots of outside of class reading, but that is to be expected with any foundation seminar. She grades rather easily, but there are very few assignments that are actually graded, so each one still matters.

Amazing workshops and great questions; I finally understood Israel's position. She is so amazing. The best at Bucknell. Take a class with her before you graduate; you will think about the questions for ever.

The discussions our course had will stay with me for ages. She is the best grader that I have ever encountered--her comments on my papers helped me transform my writing, and I am now acing nearly every writing assignment I am given. She is a professor that everyone should take before leaving Bucknell.

Best professor of Religion at Bucknell. If you love learning about Jewish Culture, she is the best here. Super passionate and will talk about it with you. She is really unique but has to be one of the more engaging and better teachers at Bucknell.

Professor Ulmer is AMAZING. I sincerely wish I had more time at BU because I would take a semester of just her classes. Her readings are super interesting, she lets everyone talk, and the comments she writes on papers are incredibly helpful and let me become a better writer. She's a tough grader, but she's so great that it makes up for it.

Extremely nice teacher and really knows her stuff. Tests can be difficult but they do not really reflect what went on in class. Overall, easy class, homework not necessary but helpful in class discussions. If you participate in class, she will really work with you if your grade is slipping.

VERY nice lady. Very sympathetic to everything that's going on with you- GO TALK TO HER, and she'll love you forever. This class was kind of all over the place, but she gave our midterm on one chapter, notes she sends us after every class, and five minutes of a movie. TAKE A CLASS FROM HER.

Extremely intelligent and interesting professor. Melodious accent. Very willing to discuss and help, in class and one on one. I learned a tremendous amount despite being overwhelmed sometimes by the volume of material we covered.
