Comment:

Shelly is hilarious and carefree. His exams aren't hard but you do have to read the textbook. I found his exam questions about lecture material confusing at times due to wording, but I did fine on the exams. He retired this year. :( All the best to you Shelly!

Sheldon Ungar is an amazing prof who makes coming to class actually fun. He swears a lot but is pretty funny. We just had a midterm and a final for the course but it wasn't too bad. You literally read the textbook and take notes in class and you'll be fine for the exam. He also sometimes goes over questions in class before the exam that help.

Comment:

Long lectures but they rarely go the full 3 hours. Ungar is pretty good and always making jokes but he can come off as a bit arrogant. His lectures are either really interesting or really boring, but regardless attendance is mandatory. He doesn't post the slides with info online. The exams aren't too hard but not that easy either.

Awesome prof. Keep up with readings and attend lectures and you'll do fine. Exam is 50/50 and if you study an A is achievable

Comment:

Hilarious, crude and does not care what anyone else thinks of him. Clear that he knows what he's talking about in lectures. Bases his exams off both lectures and textbook readings pretty evenly. I found it kind of hard to ask questions since there are so many students in the class, but he does give great answers when you talk to him individually.

He's an amazing prof overall. Easily approached and absolutely hilarious. Read your textbook and go to class and you'll do well. He's easy to come to and ask questions because he's so friendly. Exams are 50% in class stuff and 50% textbook and are very easy to pass. Highly recommend any class with him. 201415

Comment:

Professor Ungar lectures are interesting however unclear and very long about 50 slides per lecture. he takes away some content from the slides therefore you have to come to the lecture to get that content, fill in the blanks kind of thing. His exams are mc however are very tricky. Exams based on readings and lectures. Is unwilling to help

Comment:

Pretty funny, if you don't think he's at least kind of funny you probably have no sense of humor. Lectures are really long. Gonna be brutally honest about this class: sometimes I forgot I was even in it. I never read anything. I hardly ever payed attention in class and didn't study for either exam and still finished with a 71.

The professor is very interesting to listen to, even though he goes off topic a lot. To do well in this class, you need to go to lectures and take notes since the exams are 50% lecture +50% textbook.

Comment:

Lectures can put you to sleep unless you sit up front. Exams are brutal if you don't study. If it's required for your program, attendance & readings are a must. If it's an elective, you either take it seriously or you don't and miss every lecture. Have that CRNCR ready.

He is very disorganized and ineffective in lectures. He rants and tells little side jokes that (only) he laughs at. His exams are half textbook and half lecture, therefore attendance is mandatory.

Comment:

Took this course because my friend said it was easy, so I thought it'd boost my GPA. It actually lowered my GPA. But overall, the course is pretty easy. But if you want a 4.0, DO NOT study last minute. Maybe study 2 days or 3 days before the midterm. Got a 71 on a midterm because EVERYTHING in the book is fair game
