Paul is an excellent prof who has a real interest in the subject matter. I would recommend attending lectures both to help your grades, and they are interesting. There is a fair bit of reading so be prepared for it.

Paul is an interesting prof. His analogies are memorable. Weekly assignments, and he wants students to pass.

If you are easily offended, don't take Paul's class. He definitely utilizes tenure! I found his essay grading a little bit harsh but overall a funny guy. Hates management students.

Comment:
Paul has a very unique teaching style, he will challenge your ways of thinking and ensure that you are able to articulate your point of view. No matter what you say, Paul will play the Devil's Advocate, and he's not one to be bound by political correctness, so if you're easily offended you'd probably prefer someone else.

Didn't get to experience much of his class this semester due to schedule constraints, but would absolutely sign up for another one of his in a heartbeat if the situation arises. Excellent sense of humour, ready for debate, intellectual and seemingly at home on any topic. Even after only a small sampling of his teaching, I would highly recommend.

Paul is an amazing professor, who you can really tell loves what he does. The class is very reading heavy, so if you don't like to do the readings don't take the class. I would 100% take a class from him again, he is the reason I switched my minor to philosophy.

I would never take another class with Paul. He was a tough grader and I didn't get my marks back before the final hand in questions and ended up with a bad grade because I thought I was doing well but apparently I wasn't. Terrible feedback. Can't get an A unless you counter argue his own philosophical ideas. Ridiculous for a 1000 level class.

Frankly, I don't see what the fuss is about. Sure he's interesting, but I wish I had gotten more out of this class. More interested in students liking him than maximizing learning. I think people continue to take his classes because they know it will be easy, not because they want to learn as much as they can about the subject matter.

Comment:
Lectures are hard to follow as he goes off on 4 different tangents at once and doesn't clarify most of the points from those tangents, or clarify when he returns from the tangents to his actual material. Makes the class really interesting though! Really good for giving students the opportunity to do better.

By far my favourite prof at the University. His offensive humour keeps the class entertaining and almost forces you to engage in the discussion.

Viminitz is the best prof at U of L. I am a pursuing a minor in phil solely because of him. An easy class because he is so entertaining & easy to listen to. Plus, you can have him go over your essays beforehand. He spoon feeds you an A. He uses radical examples to drive points home, which upsets simpletons. And you don't have to buy a textbook! A+

Lots of reading in his class. He is a funny guy. Don't take if easily offended. Boring class but less boring with him. He is very anal about how he likes his essays so beware of that. No finals or tests. just some reading questions every week that aren't too bad.
