Comment:

Book is not necessary. 3 exams, all from class notes. Take very clear notes and ask him to repeat if necessary. Gives out 5 simple homework problems throughout the semester. But I think he might be retiring

Comment:

Seriously the worst teacher i have ever had!! He is hard to understand and makes no sense at all. No matter how hard you study, your will NOT get an A. He likes to go off and talk about his money and how much he doesnt like being there and how he likes to spend his time in his vacation house if FL on a boat, my opinion, GO to FL and dont return!

Comment:

This is an awful professor. I studied for weeks for all his exams and half the material i studied was not on the test. Class averages on tests were almost D's. He seemed like a great professor in the beginning.. but his tests are ridiculous...bad bad bad and i will hopefully never have someone like him again.

Comment:

Prof. Paul was a great instructor, but the class was hard. Make sure you read the book, and turn in the few assignments. Study for the tests, and possibly use a tape recorder because sometimes it is hard to write all the information down.

Comment:

Dr. Paul understood that most of his students had no background in economics before taking his class; thus, he simplified his concepts (and his tests!). He informed our class of his old tests on reserve in the library, which was extremely helpful to study the material, and realize the types of questions he asks and what he expects as an answer.

Hes a good professor, not always clear on what is on the exams, old exams are useful that are kept in the library, exams can be challenging.

Harvey Paul is an awesome teacher. He is very serious and knows soo much about what he's talking about. If you dont go to class a lot dont take one of his. I hated Economics and after this class I understood and I enjoyed it. Hes is very helpful and cares about his students. I recommend Dr. Paul!

Comment:

He seems boring at first, but he isn't that bad. If you study for the tests you will do well. The textbook is NOT necessary at all so don't bother buying it. Over all he isn't that bad.

Comment:

His class is hard, but you will learn alot. The tests are hard but not completelty impossible, you will have to study alot to get a good grade in his class. Alot of work but will pay off in the end. In general he is a nice man and for the most part helps you out as much as possible.

he is the teacher you dont want. he does not space his words out/whipes chalk on himself. The way he teaches I did not prefer. If you get him its possible that you can pass him.

Comment:

Harvey Paul is such a good teacher. People complain about his lisp but its not bad, you can understand everything he says fine. Test are decently hard but not impossible. This isnt a class you can miss to often. Pretty much if you go to class and take notes like you should be doing, you'll be fine. I highly recommend taking any of his classes.

Comment:

On the first day of class he said " There are two things you can notice about my name, 1) I wrote Doctor so i like being called Dr. 2) my hand writing is horrible." basically sums up the class. if you can understand his lisp and his handwriting though hes a very good teacher
